Level 3 - Post 2 Why did you choose this career/study programme?


Write about:- your dream jobs when you were a child- other career options that you had at the moment of applying to university- what made you decide in the end- your experience at university until now- the kind of job you would like to have > word count: 130 words > don't forget to leave comments on 3 of your classmates posts and on your teacher's post as well.  



My career:When I was a child, I used to dream of being a truck driver. Obviously, my parents recommended studying something with 'more future'. I never understood that.After finishing my secondary education, I had to choose a career. I had a lot of possibilities: dentistry, lawyer, painter, etc. However, something  that I wrote in a copybook when I was in primary school was definite: I wanted to be a teacher of English. Coincidence?, destiny? I don't know. The only thing I am clear about is that I have never regreted becoming a teacher. On the contrary, I love working with human beings. My experience at this university has been fantastic. I can find nice people everywhere, and hard-working and respectful students. If I had to choose again, I would be a teacher.

    wow, that note in your copybook is a very interesting coincidence.

    PS: being a truck driver, a truck hit an antenna in your neighborhood, coincidence ?, I don't think so

Blog 3: WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE PIECE OF TECHNOLOGY?    What it is When you got it How you use it How often you use it Why you like it What life would be like without it. - 140 words minimum. - Include a picture.  - Comment on your teacher's post and 3 of your classmates’ blogs. My favourite piece of technology Technology is everywhere. I have different pieces of technology in my house. The one that I like the most is my Ipad. I bought it five years ago when I needed to attend a conference and I wanted to record as much as possible. I use it for saving documents and information in general, I can check and send emails, I can also take good pictures of what I need. I use it mainly when I have to go away from my working place. I can be connected and I don't need a laptop for that. It is lighter and more comfortable and I can use it to play when I have some free time. Without it, I would be alive anyway but my life got less stressed when the Ipad appeared in my hand...

Level 3. Post 4. Free post 1 - Write about a free topic. - Comments: Leave a comment on the teacher's post + 3 of your classmates posts - Word Count: 140 words   Inclusive Tourism Clair and Scott Crowley own and manage  Push Adventures . Together they wish to enhance travel experiences for people with physical disabilities, and are passionate about strengthening the tourism industry to be inclusive for everyone.    I learnt a great deal from Clair and Scott during our short chat, and one thing that resonated was that I felt so enlightened by their mission, that I asked them if they would like to pop together some more qualified information on Inclusive Tourism for our readers, so that we can continue the conversation about Inclusive Tourism.   Inclusive tourism is not about offering special or separate assistance, it is about putting people first and recognizing that all people are unique in their abilities. Being inclusive doesn...
