         <description><![CDATA[<div>It worth mentioning that, this first encounter of the English conversational course developed on Thursday, September 29<sup>th</sup> 2022 was much more exciting than I expected it was going to be because as we all should already know, all learners when are acquiring knowledge about a language, the real interaction among tutor and classmates is crucial not only to level up meaningfully the proficiency skills but, to reinforce specifically the ability of speaking through this kind of synchronous meeting time, so, in a nutshell, I noticed once and for all how encouraging and important is going to be attending the other six reunions left.&nbsp;<br><br></div><div>Once I joined to the meeting in Teams App, there were two partners of us, as well as the teacher in charged of developing the class, so that, I was anxiety and just a bit nervous because I have not had the full opportunity to talk to someone else a long time ago, in spite of being most of the time practicing English by my own, speaking out load, this atypical or unusual time of real interaction is altogether what I need, besides, I felt extremely thrilled because of the enthusiasm and desire I have for learning, even more to reinforce much more the abilities of the language.&nbsp;<br><br></div><div>After introducing myself to everyone, I could feel confident and believe about what I know nowadays to put into effect successfully what I had studied for this meeting which was the “Fake news” topic, I could also realize that this kind of interaction is what I really need to comprehend the roll of a teacher as well as the commitment I have as a teacher in training for acquiring the ability to teach and learn at the same time every single day.<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Acknowledging the importance of communication and interaction when learning a second language like this one, it is crucial to highlight and congratulate first of all the tutor`s commitment for making this meeting productive and enthusiastically putting into effect the topic “Our Brains Are No Match for Our Technology” as a sign of his best competitiveness for teaching through this wonderful second synchronous meeting time. &nbsp;<br><br></div><div>Secondly, I also want to say that during the meeting I felt sure and self-confident with the arguments that I was supposed to have in order to give adequate and assertive answers to the questions that the tutor was asking me for. Once again I felt motivated in this meeting to participate and be demanding with myself when speaking, as a matter of fact, I did not want to read what I had written down as summary of the document proposed to this second encounter because I just wanted to be natural and spontaneous when giving my arguments related to the topic, because I do believe it is by so far one of the most engaging way to produce the speaking skill, and that is what I wanted to do for being demand with myself definitely.<br><br></div><div>On the one hand, I felt I was not going to be able to express the arguments of the summary done without reading, and I didn`t do that at all because once I started speaking I was remembering every single thing written in the document, and every single word heard in the documental called “social dilemma”, the one I watched on Netflix.<br><br></div><div>On the another hand, I was able to give other ideas that were arising as the conversation went on regarding to what I live every day with the use many apps in social networking sites such as making my phone be a very useful tool in my work, even I am unconsciously becoming it a damage thing to me because I grab my phone even when it is not supposed to be used, it is like if I were not able to get off the phone and keep it away from me even when I am in my spare time, on the contrary, this kind of this devise is the one we all use the most in our leisure time, texting on social medias, listening to music on YouTube, in a nutshell, we are wasting time many times, instead of being doing something totally different.<br><br></div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Well, this Thursday, October 13th 2022 I had another outstanding experience during this third weekly mandatory encounter of task 2 for one hour long, where the spoken language took place successfully, strengthening once again not only the knowledge of the language but also specifically about what the next task 3 will bring to us, regarding to its organization in debate, topic and duration to express to each other the points of view either as PRO in favor of the topic or as CON when disagrees with the notion of it.<br><br></div><div>Definitely I could interact at once with my classmates Lady and Alba and with the tutor indeed, so that, everything was related to the document of preparation for debating task 3, and I felt quite relaxed, comfortable and confident when interacting to each other, and I could even take many recommendations given by the tutor, and notes as points in favor for all of us to have a phenomenal performance at a very beginning, during and at the end of the encounter; the tutor let us know that just one of us either (PRO team or CON team) will have 3 minutes during the encounter to give an introduction of the topic, then, one of the another counterpart will have 3 minutes as well to discuss about what the other one have said, for that reason, I reckon we`d better be ready with solid arguments to express with fluency and accuracy, and then, it is going to be done simultaneously for 2 hour long until the end. More than anything else, this third encounter has been necessary to make sure I am having in mind the entire aspects to follow in the next debating, and be able to give a great performance, that`s why, I do believe it has been profitable to be more than prepared and succeed in the next task 3.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Through this meeting, my classmates and I could talk each other regarding to what the guns mean nowadays in the society as negative aspects depending on their uses or positives aspects such as self- defense and take care other people or members of our family, or how they are banned according to guns’ control laws to prevent crimes not only around the world but also in our own country, besides, the restriction of the restriction of guns sales in arms stores was demanding at that time, therefore, the criminals were not able to get them. during COVID 19, therefore, criminals could not purchase them in the USA because of the closing guns store, in a nutshell, the sale of guns decreased as well. In other words, we all gave a short introduction as summary of the reading, then, we could speak about the topic giving our point of view interchanging questions to answers consequently. &nbsp;<br><br></div><div>To summarize, I felt much more confident than usual, also, I felt I was able to organize every single idea in mi mind properly and pronounce them time after time without hesitation, that`s why, this encouraging real time interaction has been meaningful for me because I am convinced myself every time how much important the communication is when practicing, because, the oftener we interact with each other in English, the faster we enhance the sociolinguistics skills.<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>For this 6<sup>th</sup> weekly encounter, we all were told by the teacher that, we should make a video related to the topic and share it through the chat of Team.<br><br></div><div>I felt extremely thrilled recording the video regarding to the topic because as well as feeling confident about the use of the language such as practicing rising and falling intonation when speaking, handling fluency and accuracy or in a nutshell, improving my sociolinguistic skills, I could be also aware of how much relevant is that we all as human being should comprehend about taking care of ourselves, that`s why it is necessary to highlight the importance of the topic <strong><em>“Why we all need to practice emotional first aid?”</em></strong>, because most of the time we take care much more our physical health than mind, we should take care both though, it is crucial to have in mind the mental one because we are more prone to neglect this one which is as much as relevant in all aspects of our life in order to be able to live in peace and look like well physically, and be able to make things emotionally well done, with encouraging and enthusiasm.<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>First of all, it should be noticed that this last weekly mandatory counter was an outstanding experience because as well as being the last one, it was well described by its moderator, who explained in details what the next task 4 of the course is going to be about, in order that the teacher in training gives an excellent performance when participating in the speaking session of Cambridge C1 Advanced. Second of all, I felt motivated listening to the teacher`s explanation, taking notes as points in favor to have them in mind once I participate in the synchronic interview of the task 4, besides, I consider I tried my best effort during this last weekly mandatory encounter, putting the focus carefully on what the teacher was saying in order to have both a great performance during the Cambridge C1 Advanced interview and a wonderful result of it. Finally, to summarize what I think not only about this last encounter but also about the previous ones, I reckon everything related to handle better specific topics proposed every single week has been fruitful and profitable for learning, because I could increase much more about my English language abilities such as speaking, listening, reading and writing as well as increasing new English expressions, words and vocabulary when interacting with each other, in a nutshell, cooperation with the participants such as the teacher and teachers in training, have done a wonderful learning environment to acquire knowledge through synchronous learning time as an untypical way to work together with many people, therefore, the more immersed we are in either in virtual or face-to-face environments in languages learning, the more knowledge we acquire, so that, it is exactly what I do believe I did.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>
