What I do to improve my English... ​ by Cristina Celis https://padlet.com/mariacristinacelis6/b2pgjrzz4bp9mbry This space is done to upload my two strategies used to ameliorate English language. These are, reading any subject in English of my interest and talking to someone in English. en-us 2022-09-27 21:35:41 UTC 2024-04-03 08:44:10 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f48b.png Will vs Going to πŸŒΊβ€‹ mariacristinacelis6 https://padlet.com/mariacristinacelis6/b2pgjrzz4bp9mbry/wish/2316744985 Today I have been reading about a relevant topic that I am dealing with, in order to be clear about its use.

I summed it up as follows (I put some examples):

WILL
Instant decision:
- I'm thirsty, I think I will buy a drink
Offer:
- That looks heavy. I will help you with it
Promise:
- Don't worry, I won't tell anyone
Threat:
- If you don't stop, I will tell your mother
Refusal (won't; will not)
- She won't listen to anything I say

GOING TO:
Prior Plan (the decision was made before the moment of speaking)

- They're going to get married next year

Evidence/signs (When there are signs that something is likely to happen)

- I don't feel well, I think I'm going to throw up
- It's 7 - 0 they are going to win.

I hope it may be useful for you, regardless of whether it is for review or for learning.

P.S.  I am a very curious person, so if I have a question, I ask or search it until I can comprehend it. 😊

"SHOULD HAVE BEEN"
We use should have been in order to state our opinion. 
Example:
I have used as follows:
"Your sentence should have been: on Saturday, I was standing up again a young lady"
🀭🀭🀭

Tbh, I was that lady who got stood up 🀣, but never mind, life is about moments πŸ₯°, and nonetheless I went out with other friends. πŸ’

Keep that structure in mind, as it could be useful, besides you might use it at any moment of your life.  πŸ€—πŸ’–]]> 2022-09-28 04:09:49 UTC https://padlet.com/mariacristinacelis6/b2pgjrzz4bp9mbry/wish/2316780580 Analysing about songs. Part I 🎢 Send My Love (To Your New Lover)πŸ”Š mariacristinacelis6 https://padlet.com/mariacristinacelis6/b2pgjrzz4bp9mbry/wish/2316811370 Hii there!! Today I have a recommended song πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯

This song popped up as a suggestion on Youtube, I must admit that I am not good at memorising lyrics (I barely know three songs, including the birthday), nevertheless, I love the rhythm as I was once a dancer πŸ’ƒ.

In any case, this song gives me a lot of motivation and empowerment πŸ’ͺ✨. I like filling myself with self-confidence and self-esteem, which helps me to confront my fears and get out of my comfort zone πŸ‰

Regarding the song, I learnt some words while I was reading its lyrics on the computer screen, as:

  • Everlasting : (adj) It means lasting forever or a very long time.
  • Set free: (verb) to release; liberate
  • Keep up: (phrasal verb) Move or progress at the same rate as someone or something else.

Let's look for the lyrics πŸ‘πŸ‘

This was all you, none of it me
You put your hands all over my body and told me
You told me you were ready
For the big one, for the big jump
I'd be your last love everlasting, you and me
That was what you told me

I'm giving you up
I've forgiven it all
You set me free

Send my love to your new lover
Treat her better
We've gotta let go of all of our ghosts
We both know we ain't kids no more

Send my love to your new lover
Treat her better
We've gotta let go of all of our ghosts
We both know we ain't kids no more

I was too strong, you were trembling
You couldn't handle the hot heat rising (rising)
Baby, I'm so rising
I was running, you were walking
You couldn't keep up, you were falling down (down)
There's only one way down

I'm giving you up
I've forgiven it all
You set me free, oh

Send my love to your new lover
Treat her better
We've gotta let go of all of our ghosts
We both know we ain't kids no more

Send my love to your new lover
Treat her better
We've gotta let go of all of our ghosts
We both know we ain't kids no more

If you're ready, if you're ready
If you're ready, I am ready
If you're ready, if you're ready
We both know we ain't kids no more
No, we ain't kids no more

I'm giving you up
I've forgiven it all
You set me free

Send my love to your new lover
Treat her better
We've gotta let go of all of our ghosts
We both know we ain't kids no more

Send my love to your new lover
Treat her better
We've gotta let go of all of our ghosts
We both know we ain't kids no more

If you're ready, if you're ready (send my love to your new lover)
If you're ready, are you ready? (treat her better)
We've gotta let go of all of our ghosts
We both know we ain't kids no more

If you're ready, if you're ready (send my love to your new lover)
If you're ready, are you ready? (treat her better)
We've gotta let go of all of our ghosts
We both know we ain't kids no more

Would you be able to dedicate this song?πŸ™…β€β™€οΈ

On my own I would just enjoy listening to it, to the other person I would wish him/her the best and let me be quiet. πŸ™ŠπŸ™ˆ

Yesterday, I was practising with my friend Paola Elles who is one of my close friends πŸ’žβ€‹

The sound in the background is the workers fixing the leaks in my room πŸ’€.

As you know, it's been raining a lot in Pamplona, and I'm flooded!  πŸ˜­β€‹

Can you believe that I filled a whole bucket of water? πŸ™…β€‹πŸ™…β€‹πŸ™…β€‹

Furthemoreee, let me know in the comments how you have felt this semester πŸ™Œ.

Have a good day/afternoon/night!!

Today we talk about an interesting game, random questions about what would you do if such a thing happened? πŸ€Έβ€β™€οΈ

We are still finding it difficult to communicate properly in the language, but we are little by little trying to do so. 🌷

Don't worry if you make mistakes or hesitate, it's all part of the learning process.  🌈

Now it's your turn, what would you do if you were invisible for one day? 😁

Today, while we were waiting for the learning assessment professor, Margie and I started to practice it πŸ˜… we didn't have enough time!! Everyone was already entering the classroom 🀑

I must emphasise that I did not manage to record the previous part 😿, where I was talking to my colleague Juan Posada about a subject called applied linguistics ☺. I must say that I like to make known what I learn, it makes me feel that I am part of a society that is interested in others πŸ₯°.

What do you think about sexuality education? πŸ‘«
Why do you consider it is not given the importance it should have? πŸ™…]]> 2022-09-30 04:08:35 UTC https://padlet.com/mariacristinacelis6/b2pgjrzz4bp9mbry/wish/2320466118 Learning through TikTok??? πŸ‘€ mariacristinacelis6 https://padlet.com/mariacristinacelis6/b2pgjrzz4bp9mbry/wish/2320528747 I'm sure most of you have TikTok, it turns out that due to lack of time, one of my distractions is watching videos on it🀠, I want you to watch the following one, where I learned some vocabulary πŸ‘‰ : https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMFL4bwya/

As you could see, the lady says the following πŸ‘‡:

"My fenders don't really whip me into a verbal frenzy"

  • Whip into:  to cause (a group of people) to be in (a state of excitement, anger, etc.) 
  • Fenders :  A low frame bordering a fireplace to prevent burning coals from falling out. (Defensas)
  • Frenzy: A state or period of uncontrolled excitement or wild behaviour. (FrenesΓ­)

The translation for Spanish would be: "Mis defensas no me hacen perder el control verbal"

Hinting that she is willing to speak out without fear, as she has good natural resistance.

My example: Resolving problems whips me into a smart lady
"Resolver problemas, me hace una chica inteligente" 🌿
