https://padlet.com/a_diealvcha/hx9m1x2dvsb4 This is where I will be collecting all my work during this year en-us 2018-10-09 11:00:25 UTC 2026-02-21 06:21:51 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Dartstarget.png a_diealvcha https://padlet.com/a_diealvcha/hx9m1x2dvsb4/wish/290660913 Last day we showed our teamwork to our class. We had to talk about the reasons of why you should study in the UK. There were also some disadvantages like the weather or being far from your family and friends. The others groups explained how is about studying in Ireland or America. During it we had to put some marks to the classmates of the others groups.

Thanks to this I have learnt the reasons for studying abroad. However, I'm not sure yet of which is the best option to go. In my opinion the best is the UK because it has a lot of advantages although there are some points against it but not very important.]]> 2018-10-09 11:27:53 UTC https://padlet.com/a_diealvcha/hx9m1x2dvsb4/wish/290660913 a_diealvcha https://padlet.com/a_diealvcha/hx9m1x2dvsb4/wish/298435949 CV and résumé are more or less the same. The résumé is shorter than the CV because it is the summary of your education, experience, skills and personality traits. It's usually one page long whereas the CV is two or three pages long and it is more detailed.
The cover letter normally accompanies the CV or the résumé. It is normally sent by email and there you have to use formal language and you can't use contractions or emotional language.]]> 2018-10-30 12:05:29 UTC https://padlet.com/a_diealvcha/hx9m1x2dvsb4/wish/298435949 a_diealvcha https://padlet.com/a_diealvcha/hx9m1x2dvsb4/wish/310841040 In this class the native English teacher Amy came to our class and explained how she made her cover letter. Furthermore, she explained and answered to us some doubts that we had about the cover letter and studying abroad. Also she told all her professional experience which is written in her cover letter.]]> 2018-12-04 12:23:38 UTC https://padlet.com/a_diealvcha/hx9m1x2dvsb4/wish/310841040 a_diealvcha https://padlet.com/a_diealvcha/hx9m1x2dvsb4/wish/310841366 There we had to talk about someone who had gone abroad. We had to tell their experiences and share our ideas about it.
I used the example of my friend Manuel who I invented because I did not know anybody that had traveled abroad.]]> 2018-12-04 12:25:00 UTC https://padlet.com/a_diealvcha/hx9m1x2dvsb4/wish/310841366 a_diealvcha https://padlet.com/a_diealvcha/hx9m1x2dvsb4/wish/310844331 There we learned how to do our cover letter using our own information. We used our experience, our education, skills and personality traits. Our cover letter was based on Amy's one. Having done this, we have learned to apply for anything we want like an employment, university place...  Before doing it we saw a video to guide us with our cover letter.                         ]]> 2018-12-04 12:35:07 UTC https://padlet.com/a_diealvcha/hx9m1x2dvsb4/wish/310844331 a_diealvcha https://padlet.com/a_diealvcha/hx9m1x2dvsb4/wish/310844655 Having done the cover letter, we used the information of it and we did a summary of the main aspects. In the résumé you have to schematize the information of experience, skills, personal profile, personality traits and education using only short sentences or keywords.]]> 2018-12-04 12:36:09 UTC https://padlet.com/a_diealvcha/hx9m1x2dvsb4/wish/310844655 a_diealvcha https://padlet.com/a_diealvcha/hx9m1x2dvsb4/wish/313353886 There we had to do a research about the website of one of these three universities: University College Dublin, University of Edinburgh and University of Cambridge. Mine was University of Edinburgh and I really enjoyed doing it because I have been in Edinburgh. I loved this place and I stayed at Queen Margaret University. Furthermore, we had to look for the entry requirements of our university and how to reach it. Having done this, now we can know where are the entry requirements of each website which are useful to apply to this university.]]> 2018-12-11 12:23:36 UTC https://padlet.com/a_diealvcha/hx9m1x2dvsb4/wish/313353886 a_diealvcha https://padlet.com/a_diealvcha/hx9m1x2dvsb4/wish/323863058 After watching a video about what you have to do and what you can't do. There I have learnt how I have to act in front of the interviewers. There are a lot of points that I wouldn't have had into account if I hadn't seen the video.]]> 2019-01-24 12:23:59 UTC https://padlet.com/a_diealvcha/hx9m1x2dvsb4/wish/323863058 a_diealvcha https://padlet.com/a_diealvcha/hx9m1x2dvsb4/wish/323863340 Before reading the website which shows how to answer interviewers answers we tried to answer them with a classmate. After reading the tips we realized that we had answered completely bad. There we learned the tips to answer the most typical question that they can ask you.]]> 2019-01-24 12:24:53 UTC https://padlet.com/a_diealvcha/hx9m1x2dvsb4/wish/323863340 a_diealvcha https://padlet.com/a_diealvcha/hx9m1x2dvsb4/wish/332637803 Finally, we have learned how to act in an interview. It is almost more important than what we are saying. We must control how are we sitting, the handshake, the eye contact and the voice quality. The interviewers will have it into account and if our behavior during the interview is suitable it will help us to get what we are applying for.]]> 2019-02-19 12:30:39 UTC https://padlet.com/a_diealvcha/hx9m1x2dvsb4/wish/332637803 a_diealvcha https://padlet.com/a_diealvcha/hx9m1x2dvsb4/wish/337860465 Once learned the way of answering some of the questions of the interview, we had to choose one and record our answer.

On the one hand, the broadsheet is a formal and objective way to tell the news to the people. It is written on some big papers. On the other hand, the tabloid is more subjective and often manipulated with political interests. This one is written in a smaller paper.]]> 2019-03-19 11:52:41 UTC https://padlet.com/a_diealvcha/hx9m1x2dvsb4/wish/342791146 a_diealvcha https://padlet.com/a_diealvcha/hx9m1x2dvsb4/wish/342809155 To find the most suitable flat you need to have into account some requirements like smoking habits or having pets. Moreover, it is so important to attend to your priorities. For example the place or your flat mates. There are also other things like the cost and what it includes.]]> 2019-03-19 12:33:34 UTC https://padlet.com/a_diealvcha/hx9m1x2dvsb4/wish/342809155 a_diealvcha https://padlet.com/a_diealvcha/hx9m1x2dvsb4/wish/349869990 Here we learned about the importance of the small talk when we are meeting new people. It is useful for those who are introvert and have problems communicating with others. For instance, when you are walking next to someone you don't know very well you can use the small talk to argue some common topics which help you solving this uncomfortable situation.]]> 2019-04-09 11:21:20 UTC https://padlet.com/a_diealvcha/hx9m1x2dvsb4/wish/349869990 a_diealvcha https://padlet.com/a_diealvcha/hx9m1x2dvsb4/wish/355375213 It is a very useful part of the subject because when we go abroad it is important to meet new people and make interesting plans. There are a lot of options to choose like going to the cinema, the theater, live music concerts...
I learned how to look for tickets for those events on the internet. In my case, I found a very useful web page which was Vue.]]> 2019-04-30 11:34:52 UTC https://padlet.com/a_diealvcha/hx9m1x2dvsb4/wish/355375213 a_diealvcha https://padlet.com/a_diealvcha/hx9m1x2dvsb4/wish/356145890 One of the last things we have been learning are the TV series. We saw some typical series in England and some of them are the same in Spain. We must have into account which ones we can watch with our flatmates and which ones we can watch for free.]]> 2019-05-02 11:39:18 UTC https://padlet.com/a_diealvcha/hx9m1x2dvsb4/wish/356145890 a_diealvcha https://padlet.com/a_diealvcha/hx9m1x2dvsb4/wish/359840355 As we have seen in the video, English sense of humor is so peculiar. To understand it we must know how it is employed. When they tell a joke they are used to use irony and sarcasm. However, the most important point is being deadpan. Moreover, to be a professional in understanding jokes you must use your intelligence.]]> 2019-05-14 11:28:33 UTC https://padlet.com/a_diealvcha/hx9m1x2dvsb4/wish/359840355
