Reflection: XXI
Topic: Present Perfect with adverbs

In this class I learned abour a new topic, I felt that's easy because I can understand the structure and its use. I did sentences for practiced this topic. 

• Structures checked

 Present perfect:

Subject+have/has + verb + complement

 Adverbs with present perfect: 

Subject+ have/has + verb (P.P.) + for/since comp.

  

For: used for periods  

Since: used for specific time

• Examples:

1. He has graduated two years ago.
2. The company has started out five years ago.
3. We have met six years ago in a party.
4. I haveran a marathon one years ago in Mexico City.

• When to use it

This topic use when you have to describe events from the past that to date are still alive.

Reflection:

I was able to learn this subject very well, however I plan to practice more exercise, since sometimes confused the order of the structure. I'll see videos where this subject is used in the professional field to practice.

Topic: Timetables and arrangements

In this class, I learned about the difference between timetables and arrangements. In the past course I learned it, so this class was a review. Also I did exercises to differentiate between these two topics.

• Mention the difference

In the case of timetable use the present simple and it's for schedules. In the other case, the arrangements use the present continuous and it's for futere events. 

•  Give some examples

1. The meeting starts on netx week
2. They're presenting them show at the midnight
3. He comes for the dinner at 7:00 pm 
4. We're going to New york for bussines the next month

• Importance of doing reading and grammar quizzes 

Practicing grammar and reading through quizzes is important to improve our abilities. Likewise, it helps us to know how we have progressed, our weaknesses and that we have to study more. 

Reflection:

This theme just like others, I had already learned in the past, but this is focused on business. That's why I think I should do exercises to know how to use them appropriately. And I'll see videos explaining more about the subject.

Topic: First conditional

In this class I learned a new topic, this is 'first conditional'. Previously the teacher sent us a video explaining the structure and uses of the new topic. And We did exercises about the topic.

• What I liked about this class?

Of this class what I liked the most were the activities we did. They were very fun and dynamic. 

• Mention the rule of the conditional

The rule of the first conditional is:

If + subject + verb (simple form) + complement + " , "

                                                           [cause]

        {This past is in present} 

  

subjec + will/to be (+ going to) + verb (simple form) + complement 

          {This past is in present}  

•  Somo examples with your own objectives (4)

1. If you work hard and make important friendships, you'll become a good leader.
2. If we practice our music every week , we'll have great talent.
3. I'll be a successful financial if I finish my career and I'm still studying.
4. She'll have the job of her dreams if she doesn't give up.

Reflection:

This topic was simpler, but I think I should go over the rules, since I forget it sometimes. 
And I'm looking exercises in the support book to keep practicing.

Topic: Discussing past projects

• Relevant aspects in class

In this class we remember old lessons about the simple past and other topics. These activities are very relevant because they help improve and verify our knowledge, as well as check our strengths and weaknesses in past issues.

• Any new vocabylary? Mention it.

I didn't learn new vocabulary, in this lesson we only remember past exercises.

•  Did you improve your listening?

I noticed that I can understad more when I listed the track, in the previous semester I can't understand, but  now I can linten best, this situation enjoy me, because this mean the my practis and efforts have borne fruit.

Reflection:

 I am pleased with the growth I have had in all areas (such as reading, speaking, vocabulary and more). And I think I should keep practicing so they do not forget me. 
And I'm going to look for exercises on the internet so I do not forget what I've learned.

Topic: Making arrangements

In this class, the teacher taught me how to use the expressions 'will' and 'shall'. Also I practiced my speaking and listening and I learned about the tools I will use in my work area.                                                                                                         

• New expressions

1. I will get back to
2. Shall I look into?
3. I will call...
4. I will contact/ get in touch..

• Use of these expressions

These expressions are used in the professional area when you want to meet with a colleague for work, etc. These serve so that you can offer to do something for your colleague in the laboral area.

•  Importance of making arragment in the market place.

The arrangement in the market place is very important, because when you want to meet a colleague or boss in a formal way, you must have these knowledge.

Reflection:

I could understand this topic, so I think I practice this subject periodically, as it will help me in the future.

Reflection: XVI
Topic: Too/enough

In this lesson I learned about too much and enough, their differences and structure. I did exercises on the subject using the copies that the teacher gave us.

1.-Did you find this topic simple or dificult? Explain

 This topic was very difficult to learn for me. I was confused with the grammar rules, since this factor in my weak point. I think that i should study more about this topic.

2.- Can you mention the rule?

Too:

In this case, first is 'Too' and then the adjective:

Too + adjetive + complement 

Enough:

In this case, first is the adjective and then it's 'enough': 

(not +) + adjetcive +  enough 

3.-Can you write 4 examples?

• The budget isn't enough to buy the project materials.
• The time isn't enough to study for my exam.
• The topic is too difficult to study.
• Correr demasiado por la mañana debería ser peligroso.

Reflection:

This topic was very confused for me, since I didn't understand the grammar rules, so I will practice the grammar rules and I will make some examples. 
And I'm also checking pages where I can enrich my knowledge about this topic.
