Hi,
I think this is the last text that i write, although I want this blog to post another things in a nearby future, maybe it'll still be useful after all.

I have to say that I did enjoy my blogging experience, because I like to write and I like english. For me these tasks wasn't a bother at all, on the contrary, i liked more than any english work. Besides, I had a blog on my own before this, but since a long time ago that a never write in there. I had other things to do and i didn't had a great topic to write about either, so that turned boring actually; but with this blog i had to write for a certain date and about a certain topic. Those factors and the fact that i have to write in english were like a challenge to me and that made it funnier. Plus the other fact that i think I'm a bit lazy person who only works well under pressure.

Of course that the blog helped me improve my english, because anyone doing this could realised that it helped to write better nad to think better in english, and i think too that those are good advantages of blogging at an english class, but the disadvantages are lack of practice after the end of classes. After that, many people could forget what they've learned. But I think this could happen with any exercise, specially with a languaje, when you leave practice.
The other disadvantage is that people doesn't take too much attention to the corrections: not because we don't read them, but is something that we see and realised but don't remember so much at the time to write again, because we remember more when an explanation of a correction or a tip is given verbally by someone, with examples, etc, more didactic, not just reading it.
In spite of that I think that this helped me a lot and I hope to keep writing in the next class, but if it's not like this, I hope I don't forget what i've learned. Bye!

Painting: One of the bests in my area

Hi,
For me is very difficult to choose just one person who I think that could be the best. In fact, I believe that it's difficult not only for me, but art critics, historians, etc. But what I do can write about is about someone that in my opinion fulfills all the requirements to be "the best" or, at least, one of them.


Salvador Dalí


Spanish painter, known as one of the most eccentric and craziest persons of the 20th century. Histrionic, intelligent, creative and over all talented, Dalí represented dreams, guided by the movement of surrealism, as no one could do. Even more than precursors of this movement. I think he was the best in that area. Apart from this, he did more types of art and communication like sculptures, movies or commercials.
I Like him because of his capacity of create credible scenes of dreams (specially about theories of Freud) and then, when he was older, mixed that oneiric world with ideas of nuclear physics.
Besides I love his biography (full of weird stories, like he was expelled of his art academy because in a exam he didn`t answered about an oral test of Miguel Angel because he said that knew more about him that his professors) and his personality. It fits very well with the times in wich he lived. The truth is, that I like this painter too because I like the 20th century and all its rushed causes and different times that people had to live.
But not only for his eccentric life or for surrealism that I find him the best. I think that his way of painting is incredible and Dalí was really a person full of imagination. And I aprecciate both characteristics over the rest. Although I think that some people who I can were bests in painting too were: Vincent Van Gogh, Caravaggio, Jacques Louis David, Da Vinci and many others.
