https://padlet.com/mireialopezgil/ffcrvrpy14d0 Some of my English experiences! en-us 2019-04-29 19:24:53 UTC 2019-04-30 13:17:53 UTC hello@padlet.com https://imgglb.padletcdn.com/v13/image?t=g_auto&url=https%3A%2F%2Fpadlet.net%2Ficons%2Fpng%2F1f9da-2640.png mireialopezgil https://padlet.com/mireialopezgil/ffcrvrpy14d0/wish/355186497 This is an interesting article about women and the arts. According to this feminist historian of art, Linda Nochlin, there have been no great women and men traditionally were so defined and women had to charge of house and being a good mother and wife, they were removed from art's institutions and art's school. Therefore, although we can find some great woman artist in Art History (Artemisia Gentileschi, Berthe Morisot, etc.), they are minority not because of their talent but because there have been no equality and the same opportunities for women. ]]> 2019-04-29 19:32:46 UTC https://padlet.com/mireialopezgil/ffcrvrpy14d0/wish/355186497 mireialopezgil https://padlet.com/mireialopezgil/ffcrvrpy14d0/wish/355188859 The boy in the striped pyjamas is a novel about an eight-year-old boy, called Bruno, who, because of his father's job (he is a Nazi commandant), moves into a new house, near to a Nazi extermination camp. There, Bruno, who has no idea about what is happening with Jewish people, meets Shmuel, a Jewish boy who lives on this camp. They become friends and live and innocent and strong friendship. 
This is an interesting novel above all because the tragedy of Holocaust is showed from the perspective of little innocent boys. ]]> 2019-04-29 19:39:28 UTC https://padlet.com/mireialopezgil/ffcrvrpy14d0/wish/355188859 mireialopezgil https://padlet.com/mireialopezgil/ffcrvrpy14d0/wish/355190233 Carol is anovel about a ninteen-year-old gril, called Theresa, who has abored life in New York. But this changes when she meets Carol, a sophisticated housewife. They both will start an intense and complicated love story.
I strongly recommend this novel because it is a classic book in lesbian literature which breaks with stereotypes of lesbian relationship (Carol was published in 1952, when there were a lot of perjudices related to homosexuality) and because the story explained is so moving. ]]> 2019-04-29 19:43:39 UTC https://padlet.com/mireialopezgil/ffcrvrpy14d0/wish/355190233 mireialopezgil https://padlet.com/mireialopezgil/ffcrvrpy14d0/wish/355194275 The train journeys from Sant Vicenç dels Horts (my town) to Hospital de Bellvitge University are so long and boring. Luckily, I have a friend (Claudia) who has to do the same journey as me every day. Then, we talk during the journey and, in this way, they are less dull. Moreover, as she is studying for Advanced English Exam, our conversations are usually in English. This is a good way to practice thislanguage because we can talk about differents topics (our live, the news, the studies, etc.) in a quotidian context. ]]> 2019-04-29 19:56:38 UTC https://padlet.com/mireialopezgil/ffcrvrpy14d0/wish/355194275 mireialopezgil https://padlet.com/mireialopezgil/ffcrvrpy14d0/wish/355201232 This course, I watched two series in original version with English subtitles. I enjoyed them a lot!

STRANGER THINGS
Stranger Things is a series about four children who are friends and one of whom, Will, disappears strangely. His friends, with the help of Will's family and Elevan -a poweful and magic girl-, try to find him. But hey have to face magic and strange situations and also have to confront a governmental organization which is involucrated in the Will disappearance too.
In my view, this is a thrililng and emotional series, with a great interpretation of the actors. Stranger Things is also fascinating because it is contextualized in the 80s American society. I really recommen it!

THIS IS US
This is us is a series about the life of a family, composed of parents and their kids, who are tiplets.
The series shoes the present life of this afmily (thati is, the day to day of triplets -Kate, Kevin and Randall-  when they are already adults) and also the past life of them (when they were children and their father was still alive).
I think it is an amazing series because it is a portrait of the real life, which is full of problems bu also of happy moments.
Moreover, the spectator (at least in my case) can identify themselves with situtations exposed on the series ehich make think out about our personal lives. ]]> 2019-04-29 20:22:33 UTC https://padlet.com/mireialopezgil/ffcrvrpy14d0/wish/355201232 mireialopezgil https://padlet.com/mireialopezgil/ffcrvrpy14d0/wish/355204490 Listening to music is also a good way to learn English. And https://es.lyricstraining.com/ is a fine web page to learn song's lyrics. Trough this web, I practised listenning and learnd by heart some songs by Passenger, Birdy, Lady Gaga, Adele, etc. ]]> 2019-04-29 20:35:09 UTC https://padlet.com/mireialopezgil/ffcrvrpy14d0/wish/355204490 https://padlet.com/mireialopezgil/ffcrvrpy14d0/wish/355412703 Every Friday I usually do Skype with my Txec friend called Nataly, unless the ones that I go to parties but I’m not accustomed to do it. 
From my point of view is one of the best moments during the week, because on the one hand, I really miss her and I always remembered every single moment that we have lived and on the other hand, I love speaking and when I speak in English it seems to me like I’m progressing.
I extremely recommend it! ]]> 2019-04-30 13:17:27 UTC https://padlet.com/mireialopezgil/ffcrvrpy14d0/wish/355412703
