https://padlet.com/a_mardiagon/sdae32feqjev Hi! My name ia María and here I'm going to show you what I am learning in this subject. en-us 2018-10-09 11:10:44 UTC 2025-12-08 12:34:05 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Rocket.png a_mardiagon https://padlet.com/a_mardiagon/sdae32feqjev/wish/290658070 This year we are taking a new subject. It is called English for specifics purposes. I decided to choose it because I think It is a good way to improve my English and be more self confident speaking it.]]> 2018-10-09 11:19:26 UTC https://padlet.com/a_mardiagon/sdae32feqjev/wish/290658070 a_mardiagon https://padlet.com/a_mardiagon/sdae32feqjev/wish/290662523 When we had the presentation I had a really good impression.
I thought that this subject would be more systematic, like the current English, but it is the opposite and I like it a lot.

I told the story of Julia, a friend who has studied journalism and telecommunication in Germany, and that made me realise that I want to study Law in Prague.
Later we worked in groups. We had to watch a video about studying abroad in Ireland, the United Kingdom or the United States. My group had to do a mindmap with Bubbl about studying abroad in Ireland, and it was really interesting. I think we did a great job. After getting informed about that, I believe that studying abroad in any country can be a unforgettable experience.

One of the other activities that we had to do was search information about Universities' requirements. I had to do it about the University College Dublin. 
I have discovered that studying in other country is so difficult, you must have a high English level in this case, and your marks must be very good.
Maybe your desire to study far of your house will disappear after read the entrance's requirements, but don't lose courage, nothing is impossible.
Here you have the official page of University Dublin College.

A few weeks ago we had to write our own cover letter and that made me realise that I have so many skills and so many qualities that I thought I haven't.
We used Amy's template. Amy is a girl who came from Liverpool and who has talked us about her degree.

It is like a summary or a diagram that include all the information that we had gave in the cover letter.
We done it with Canva, a useful tool of work.
Here is my resumé.

I think it is going to be very interesting because the next year will be our first year at Univesity!
We are going to learn how to behave in an interview.

The video shows two situations. In one of them there is a boy who is being interviewed and he behave inadequately and some professionals study his responses. In the other situation the same boy behave adequately and the professionals say what are the most important things todo in an interview.]]> 2019-02-26 12:02:50 UTC https://padlet.com/a_mardiagon/sdae32feqjev/wish/335307826 a_mardiagon https://padlet.com/a_mardiagon/sdae32feqjev/wish/335316625 One of the visits of Amy of this term was about body language.
She showed us a video and we were talking about it.
I learnt a lot of things about body language in relation with look,gestures, etc.
I realised that body language can say more than words.]]> 2019-02-26 12:36:02 UTC https://padlet.com/a_mardiagon/sdae32feqjev/wish/335316625 a_mardiagon https://padlet.com/a_mardiagon/sdae32feqjev/wish/337856944 After watching the video of University interview, we had to do a presentation and talk to the class about what we must to do and what we mustn't to do in an interview.
I did it with Lucia and I really like work in pairs or in group because I think we develop our communication skills.
The teacher was recording with her camera the presentation and that helped me lose a bit of shame.
Here is our presentation.]]> 2019-03-05 12:04:59 UTC https://padlet.com/a_mardiagon/sdae32feqjev/wish/337856944 a_mardiagon https://padlet.com/a_mardiagon/sdae32feqjev/wish/337860027 We watched a video that taught us how to clean up our body language.
In the video Deborah Jacobs ( a worker of Forbes ) talk about what is the proper voice, the correct handshake, etc.
It is a really interesting interview.

I chose "Tell me about your communiti service". I chose it because I think that community service says a lot of your personality and it is a strong point to consider in an interview.
This is the video where I chose the question.

We had to look the price, the situation, the bills, etc.
It has been a interesting practice and I have enjoyed it.
I realize that it is not cheap living abroad, but I think it is worth.
Here are the web where we were looking for flats in London.
