My favourite piece technology is my photografic camera. I bougth it one year a go, and i paid for it $100.000. I don't realy like the technology (my movil is old) but i like so much take pictures and that is why i love my camera.
This summer, in my hollidays i went to Chiloé, and there i took a lot of pictures, for example a pictures of the national park Chiloé and in Castro when a sailed in a small boat a took some good shots too.
i used my camera very very often, because i like to caught the moments for remember it. Some times i think that my life would be boring without it, because take pictures is a fun activity.
one time, a guy tried to stold it, but i ran away very very fast and i can save it.
1) In relation to your introductory post:
ReplyDeleteMATIAS,
I liked your sincere and good-hearted post. You should have been born in the fifties and been to Woodstock!
Some songs come to my mind: Imagine (Lennon), Give me love (G. Harrison), Blowing in the wind (Bob Dylan). Have you ever heard about them?
Please have a look at the corrections, in capitals, and the notes at the bottom.
About Me
i'm a nice man and i want to be your friend. i live in the big Santiago but always try to escape FROM this crowded city. In the future I want to live in the south of this country among the forests, lakes and rivers. Somebody says that i'am A hippie but i think that they are wrong because i'm only a good boy, what do you THINK about this?. In the university i'm a "maometano" student, because my marks are more less, but I DON’T MIND because i have a big heart (for get you : THIS IS NOT CLEAR) . I don't like the intelectualism VERY much, the only important THING is ( ) love. Well, i HOPE that you will be my friend, i love you brother and i love ( ) peace, i love Ghandy, i love "truque", i love ( ) life in comunities, i love all trees and animals of this wOnderful world, i love Africa, and i hate ( ) war, ( ) capitalism, i hate united states, i hate ( ) starvation. I’M GOING to figth for a new world and IN 2012 I’M GOING TO to be reloaded.
Keep in mind:
a) Use a capital ‘I’ to talk about yourself.
b) Compare the uses of ‘feel’, ‘think’, and ‘believe’
• Feel (Sense/Perception)
• Think (Opinion)
• Believe (Conviction or principle; value)
Example sentences:
The delegate said he THINKS (not feels) his bill will be approved.
The minister said she BELIEVES (not thinks or feels) there is life after death.
The applicant said she THINKS (not feels) her interview went well, and she FEELS good about her chances of getting the job.
I FEEL the wet grass between my toes.
c) - I don't mind - quite polite way of expressing you have no preference.
- Don't care - generally quite negative, informal, and can be construed as impolite at times
d) Word order: I like/ don’t like …………………. very much.
e) To expect: to see something as probable, likely or reasonable.
For example: You expect to get paid for the work that you do because it is reasonable.
To hope: the general feeling that some desire will be fulfilled
For example: you hope the bus is on time because you have a plane to catch.
f) Compare: I hate the hungry (people) / I hate famine (or starvation)
-I expect you don’t hate people who are hungry!!
g) Compare: I go (habitually) / I’m going to + VERB : (in the future)
Matías,
ReplyDeleteYour post is well planned but has some basic mistakes. Now, you have missed many classes and this is reflected in your posts. So please attend classes for your own sake.
Try and rewrite your post according to my corrections, instructions and suggestions, in capital letters, and contact me if you have any doubts.
MY FAVOURITE PIECE of TECHNOLOGY
My favourite piece OF technology is my photografic camera. I bougth it one year a go, and i paid $100.000 for it (word order). I don't realLy like ( ) technology (my moBILE is old) but i like (word missing) take pictures so much and that is why i love my camera.
This summer, in my holidays i went to Chiloé, and there i took a lot of pictures, for example (a: USE THIS WORD ONLY FOR SINGULAR THINGS) pictures of the national park Chiloé and in Castro when (a: ‘i’?) sailed in a small boat (a: ‘i’?) took some good shots too.
i (used: WRONG TENSE) my camera very very often, because i like to CATCH the moments (SO AS) TO remember (it: USE PLURAL). Some times i think that my life would be boring without it, because TAKING pictures is a fun activity.
ONCE / One DAY, a guy tried to (stold; WRONG TENSE) it, but i ran away very very fast and i (can: USE PAST FORM) save it.
a) Don’t use ‘the’ to talk about something in general. Compare:
I like dogs ( all dogs, no dog in particular)
What’s wrong with the dogs? They are barking too much. (some dogs in particular, some specific dogs)
b) ) We say: ‘like/love/hate/have/need? + something. Ex. I like pizza, We love coke, They need new experiences.
But we say: ‘like to/ love to/hate to/have to / need to’ + verbs. Ex. I like to run, She loves to chat, Do you have to go now?
c) When you use a verb in the past + to + verb, please use the simnple form after ‘to’. Ex I went to see… / We had to go… / She wanted to buy…/ etc.
