I told when Monica went to Dublin.]]> 2018-10-09 11:04:22 UTC https://padlet.com/a_paocorest/oe78rlvmirhp/wish/290653728 a_paocorest https://padlet.com/a_paocorest/oe78rlvmirhp/wish/290657828 We were watching a video which shows us the pros and cons of studying in the UK. Then we created a MindMap to present the information to our classmates. We were working with Bubbl.us. However, Diego found a different website to create MindMaps. 
Finally, we concluded that Bubbl.us was easier than the other website.]]> 2018-10-09 11:18:40 UTC https://padlet.com/a_paocorest/oe78rlvmirhp/wish/290657828 a_paocorest https://padlet.com/a_paocorest/oe78rlvmirhp/wish/290663445 Being honest, I wouldn't do the same as my cousin did. That is because, I would like to study one year abroad (specifically in Italy) during my Universities studies. I don't want to do it as my cousin did.

One helpful thing was that a partner corrected my essay and I corrected him. That was a really good way to improve my grammar.]]> 2018-10-09 11:35:41 UTC https://padlet.com/a_paocorest/oe78rlvmirhp/wish/290663445 a_paocorest https://padlet.com/a_paocorest/oe78rlvmirhp/wish/290665317 I think a Mindmap is a useful way of studying because you can see clearly the most relevant information of the contents. Personally, I don't use it when I have exams, although, I use it when I have to present anything. ]]> 2018-10-09 11:41:13 UTC https://padlet.com/a_paocorest/oe78rlvmirhp/wish/290665317 a_paocorest https://padlet.com/a_paocorest/oe78rlvmirhp/wish/293244997 We were looking information about entry requirements in different universities. I found information about Cambridge. Then I shared it with Laura and Carmen that were looking information about the same university.]]> 2018-10-16 10:54:59 UTC https://padlet.com/a_paocorest/oe78rlvmirhp/wish/293244997 a_paocorest https://padlet.com/a_paocorest/oe78rlvmirhp/wish/293251021 Found the correct information was so hard.

We were learning how to do a CV, a résumé and a cover letter, and when is useful to use it.
After that, we were working with some examples (specially Amy's ones) to take ideas for our résumé and our cover letter. We toke some ideas, sentences or expressions such as "from an early age my ambition has been to...".
Know, that we are informed, we are going to do our cover latter. For that, we have picked up words from our student book and from websites too.

At the end, I did it! It was based on my short experience and the aim of the cover letter was to join in a rugby club. ]]> 2018-10-30 12:12:11 UTC https://padlet.com/a_paocorest/oe78rlvmirhp/wish/298438653 a_paocorest https://padlet.com/a_paocorest/oe78rlvmirhp/wish/298449500 It was quite difficult to do it because first of all, I didn't know what to apply for. Then, I haven't got any kind of experience, ever more, I didn't know what kind of experience was useful and which one's wasn't. I didn't feel comfortable, which it is a really good point because I overcome myself.]]> 2018-10-30 12:33:51 UTC https://padlet.com/a_paocorest/oe78rlvmirhp/wish/298449500 a_paocorest https://padlet.com/a_paocorest/oe78rlvmirhp/wish/304756964 It was about of having a look at the Erasmus+ website to learnt about grants, exchanges or jobs.]]> 2018-11-15 12:34:40 UTC https://padlet.com/a_paocorest/oe78rlvmirhp/wish/304756964 a_paocorest https://padlet.com/a_paocorest/oe78rlvmirhp/wish/304757468 I have been always thinking of getting a grant during the degree year. However, after I had a look at the Erasmus+ website I have changed my opinion about it. I would like to the Traineeship for students. It looks awesome!
I found it useful because Eramus+ is unknowing ]]> 2018-11-15 12:36:17 UTC https://padlet.com/a_paocorest/oe78rlvmirhp/wish/304757468 a_paocorest https://padlet.com/a_paocorest/oe78rlvmirhp/wish/310843151 This activity is about of creating our résumé based on our cover letter.

An useful webpage is canva. I focused my skills in relation with the contents of the cover letter.

REMEMBER: short sentences.  ]]> 2018-12-04 12:30:58 UTC https://padlet.com/a_paocorest/oe78rlvmirhp/wish/310843151 a_paocorest https://padlet.com/a_paocorest/oe78rlvmirhp/wish/313347821 It wasn't the first time that I did a résumé. There weren't so different about contents. However, doing it in English was hardest. 
I believed that I were doing something new. When I finished it, I realized that were more or less the same!

Better for me, now I had one in Spanish and one in English more updated. ]]> 2018-12-11 12:03:28 UTC https://padlet.com/a_paocorest/oe78rlvmirhp/wish/313347821 a_paocorest https://padlet.com/a_paocorest/oe78rlvmirhp/wish/323862314 Let's have an interview! We have seen a video about a boy telling us what we should do on an interview and what we shouldn't do. We had take notes about it and then, we have created a powert point with our notes to share it with our classmates. ]]> 2019-01-24 12:21:25 UTC https://padlet.com/a_paocorest/oe78rlvmirhp/wish/323862314 a_paocorest https://padlet.com/a_paocorest/oe78rlvmirhp/wish/323868138 I found that there are a lot of tricks. It is really important look after your body language as well as is important to be punctual.

It is so important, things that we think that are irrelevant, are so tricky. The eye contact, the handshake, the volume, everything counts! 
I created a list about things that i had to consider ]]> 2019-03-05 11:53:07 UTC https://padlet.com/a_paocorest/oe78rlvmirhp/wish/337854013 a_paocorest https://padlet.com/a_paocorest/oe78rlvmirhp/wish/337856368 I felt completely lost when I had to answer the questions. I realized that I can't answer questions about myself, especially my strengths and my weaknesses. For the next interview: try to prepare some questions that are usual. Read about the University/Company. ]]> 2019-03-05 12:02:28 UTC https://padlet.com/a_paocorest/oe78rlvmirhp/wish/337856368 a_paocorest https://padlet.com/a_paocorest/oe78rlvmirhp/wish/337858007 Once we had learnt how to behave on an interview, we learnt how to answer the questions of the interview. There are some questions that are frequents on a interview. Fore example, tell me about yourself, what are your weaknesses?, etc. are examples of typical ones. We found in a website, that are some tricks to answer them. In pairs, we worked on that. First, we had to try to answer the question without having a look the website. Later, after having a look the website, we answer them again. the result was completely different.]]> 2019-03-05 12:09:12 UTC https://padlet.com/a_paocorest/oe78rlvmirhp/wish/337858007 a_paocorest https://padlet.com/a_paocorest/oe78rlvmirhp/wish/337862051 The last activity that we had done is record a voice note answering one of the question that an interviewer would ask you if you apply for a place in an university.
My question was: what can our college offer you that another college can't? ]]> 2019-03-05 12:24:31 UTC https://padlet.com/a_paocorest/oe78rlvmirhp/wish/337862051 a_paocorest https://padlet.com/a_paocorest/oe78rlvmirhp/wish/337862758 It was so hard for me answer the question. I didn't know what to say, what they exactly want? I had to read a lot about that different university that Seville has and try to select the most important points for myself. It wasn't an easy thing, however it was so useful. Now, I know a lot about The University Of Seville and Pablo Olavide University. ]]> 2019-03-05 12:26:59 UTC https://padlet.com/a_paocorest/oe78rlvmirhp/wish/337862758 a_paocorest https://padlet.com/a_paocorest/oe78rlvmirhp/wish/337864043 It is very important how to wear, how I should sit down on a chair, where I look, etc. I didn't know that someone would be focus on where I am looking.
Things to remember: everything count, since the tiny movement of my hand to how I had my back. I should try to show that I am confident not only in my speech, my movements and my body languages should show that I am confident of myself.]]> 2019-03-05 12:31:44 UTC https://padlet.com/a_paocorest/oe78rlvmirhp/wish/337864043 a_paocorest https://padlet.com/a_paocorest/oe78rlvmirhp/wish/340371064 Broadsheet or newspaper? There are some different between them. The broadsheet is bigger and more objective. It is more focused on news than in gossip. It uses formal languages. On the other side, tabloid is smaller and use more informal language. Topics are related with gossip and famous live.
However, nowadays newspaper are less used than online newspaper. 

Let's see the different between a broadsheet and a tabloid from the same new.

I found that I understood almost everything of the contents of the broadsheet. However, it was quite difficult to understood the newspaper.

I have learnt the differences between them as well as I learnt another way of be up-to-date in aother country in an easier way.

I have found the same piece of news (sport new) in two different types of media: The Sun, a tabloid, and The Guardian, a broadsheet. There are some differences. The text in The Sun is shorter, less objective and more focused on what the player said than on what really happened in the match. Also it has about two or three photos more than the news in The Guardian.]]> 2019-03-13 22:05:20 UTC https://padlet.com/a_paocorest/oe78rlvmirhp/wish/341102685 a_paocorest https://padlet.com/a_paocorest/oe78rlvmirhp/wish/342791684 Sharing a flat

-Localization.

-Single room.
-If it is for male or female.

We thought about pros or requirements of both: PEOPLE OR PLACE and we put it in common with whole class. We picked out all the information.

Then we put a post on the blog saying what we are more concerned about .]]> 2019-04-04 11:34:15 UTC https://padlet.com/a_paocorest/oe78rlvmirhp/wish/348456491 a_paocorest https://padlet.com/a_paocorest/oe78rlvmirhp/wish/348458748 Here are my opinion and my comment.

There are some topics that are usual when you meet someone or you are having a small talk. 
Some appropriate were sports, entertainment and the weather.
And the inappropriate one's were body, politics, religion, family, age, money....
Then we published a comment telling our opinion. ]]> 2019-04-23 11:21:04 UTC https://padlet.com/a_paocorest/oe78rlvmirhp/wish/353308087 a_paocorest https://padlet.com/a_paocorest/oe78rlvmirhp/wish/353309514 I found some inappropriate topics quite... different. I mean, I don't think that religion or relationship are bad topics, is something common in our culture. I found that she overreacted about that topics.

However, I have never thought that the weather was a good topic so i would use it!]]> 2019-04-23 11:28:09 UTC https://padlet.com/a_paocorest/oe78rlvmirhp/wish/353309514 a_paocorest https://padlet.com/a_paocorest/oe78rlvmirhp/wish/356140077 We have been reading a post. It was about a personal experience of a girl in her first days on an Erasmus year. 
She said that for her, small talk was quite difficult because she is shy. However, she had a lovely year.
We had to write a comment saying our opinion. We had to say if is going to be difficult or not the small talk for us.]]> 2019-05-02 11:10:17 UTC https://padlet.com/a_paocorest/oe78rlvmirhp/wish/356140077 a_paocorest https://padlet.com/a_paocorest/oe78rlvmirhp/wish/356140156 After meeting new friends on my Erasmus year, we have to thought a great plan. This activity was based on that. I made a plan.
I decided to went to the cinema. I had to search information about what film, how many it was, the time table, etc. All the necessary information. Then, we had to convince our teacher.  ]]> 2019-05-02 11:10:45 UTC https://padlet.com/a_paocorest/oe78rlvmirhp/wish/356140156 a_paocorest https://padlet.com/a_paocorest/oe78rlvmirhp/wish/356140280 The last activity was convince our flatmates to watch a series with us.

However, this post was useful to me because I forgot that some people are shy and have problems in small talk.

The timetable, the prices, which cinema.... It was quite difficult find a plan cheaper and near of us.
In addition, Nieves has different preferences so it was so difficult to convince her.]]> 2019-05-14 11:03:17 UTC https://padlet.com/a_paocorest/oe78rlvmirhp/wish/359834563 a_paocorest https://padlet.com/a_paocorest/oe78rlvmirhp/wish/359836108 While I were reading which series select, I released that I'm completely out-of-date!
