English Teacher - FACSO

  Hello, dear students. Last semester I wrote about the books I had read so far, so in today’s blog, I will tell you about the books that I have read so far in this second semester. In the book Honjok, The Art of Living Alone , the lifestyles of several South Koreans are depicted here, giving a “fresher” perspective of how to handle living in a society where everything must be done in pairs and how businesses are shifting towards this new type of customer, the “individual customer”. Honestly, I was biased due to the cover of this book and, unfortunately for me, many of the ideas about flying solo were things that I have already read before, so I was truly disappointed about this purchase.      If you are interested in learning how people from other countries live a long, satisfied life (and I mean, living up to 100 years), Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life is a very friendly and trustworthy approach to these lifestyles, where the writers exp...

  Hello dear students. I hope you are doing well. In today’s blog, I will describe my favorite technological device. If we look up at the definition, technology refers to processes and elements that help to solve a problem or that has a purpose or end for it.

I wouldn’t say this is my favorite technological device because it’s oh-wow-amazing-incredible-fantastic-etc. and it has multiple functions, but rather, it has helped me a lot throughout the working hours to make my teaching easier. Despite this, I do have a favorite brand of whiteboard markers:   These are the best: they are thick, they have different colours (besides these, I have found pink, yellow, orange and purple), and you can buy the ink instead the full whitebo...

  Hello, dear students. I hope you are having a good day. In today's second blog, I will talk about why I decided to study my major: a bachelor’s degree in English Language and Literature.     When I was a child, I was truly scared of going to University: it seemed like an impossible dream to pursue since everyone talked so solemnly about it. My first impulse was to become a baker; it seemed easy at first, but I discovered that it is such a strenuous job, so I quitted that idea immediately. As a high schooler, I wanted to study psychology after I graduated from school, but I declined after my mother talked me out of it: She noticed that I was going to enter a major for the wrong reasons. As I was approaching my school graduation, I decided to pursue this major since English was one of my best subjects at school and, unfortunately, I didn’t have the guts to pursue one of my true passions: plastic arts. Looking in retrospective, and considering all its ups a...
