304 Our experiences!

  Mareli de León         I liked this semester a lot! Even with all the changes, I think that I could adapt really good. With our new teacher, we didn’t get the time to see all the topics that we should’ve seen, but the ones we did saw, were pretty interesting. I´ll explain some of the first topics briefly: -         Narrative tenses Past simple Subject + v. in the simple past   The past perfect Subject + had + v. in the past participle                            Past continuous Subject + had + v.ing                            Past perfect continuous  Subject + had + v. ing   -         Future in the past  1.       To talk about intent in the past. 2.       An event that wasn’t planned but happened. 3.       Reporting a future form.   Form would A past future promise or prediction with no evidence.   Subject + would + v. in infinitive   Form was/ were going to Past future firm plan, intention, prediction with evidence.   Subject + was/were + going to + v- in infinitive   Form was/were P

  David Jiménez   This semester we didn´t have the time to watch that many topics, but the first one we saw was: 1.       Narrative tenses ·         Past Simple Subject + V. in the simple past   ·        Past continuous Subject + had + V. ing   ·        Past perfect Subject + had + V. in past participle   ·        Past perfect continuous Subject + had + V. ing   After practicing that topic for a while, with activities in the book, we started watching:                   2.  1 st  conditional vs 2 nd  conditional ·        1 st Possible future situations we are sure will happen. If I do…, I will. (We can use might, can, must, should). If it rains, I will stay at home.   ·        2 nd Unlikely or impossible situations in the present or future. If I + Past simple + Would/wouldn’t + infinitive verb   I would have a cat if I had a garden.   We saw some extra topics after the conditionals, but those two are the ones that better sticked to me. I liked the teaching method of our new teacher and

  Richard Pazos        This third semester was full of surprises, but in general, I don´t think I liked it. Many changes happened and I don´t like change. But it is true that I had good moments with my friends.          Now talking about the English class, we didn’t have time to learn that many topics, but we did learn some. The first topic that we saw was the narrative tenses. We saw the different tenses and the structure of each one.   Past Simple Structure: subject + v. in simple past   Past Perfect Structure: subject + had v. in past participle   The Past Continuous  Structure: subject + had + v. ing   Past Perfect Continuous Structure: subject + had + v. ing               We also saw some examples, for the past simple: I visited Japan. For past perfect: I had visited Japan before. For the past continuous: He had been running. And for the past perfect continuous: I was living in Japan.                          

  Diego Sánchez        This semester was pretty good for me. Even with all the changes of teachers and other stuff, it was good. Now talking about the English class, I was a bit anxious getting to know the new teacher because I didn’t know how she would teach or if she would be strict, but she is nothing like that. In the first class, she told us that she always likes to play a game at the start of the class, one time we played jeopardy, then hanged-man, etcetera.         Going into all the topics that we saw, first was narrative tenses. Basically, it is about the four narrative tenses that exist: past simple, past continuous, past perfect, and past perfect continuous, its structures are the following:   Past simple: s ubject +  v erb in the simple past .   Past continuous : s ubject +  v erb in past +  v erb ing    Past perfect: s ubject + had +  v erb in  the  past participle   Past perfect continuous: s ubject + had +  v erb ing        After studying that topic for a while and pract

  Yareli Moreno   This semester was definitely not what I expected, it was full of surprises and situations that made me feel sometimes bad or anxious, but other times were great and I felt like I could do anything!    Lot of changes happened, many teachers went to other schools and others came, that was the case of the English class. Approximately a month ago, a new teacher came, teacher Acuña. She really made a change when we got to our class, learning was suddenly easier and classes were not as stressful as they were before.  The first topic that we learned was “Narrative tenses”, its structures are the following: Past simple  Subject + Verb in the simple past Ex. I visited Japan. Past perfect  Subject + had + Verb in past participle Past continuous  Subject + Verb in past + Verb ing  Ex. I was living in Japan. Past perfect continuous  Subject + had + Verb ing   Learning that topic was not hard at all, I don’t know if it is because of the teaching method of the teacher or if I’m sud

¿Qué piensan los tijuanenses de la pena de muerte? Por Hanna Gutiérrez, Yareli Moreno y Mareli De León Para el proyecto del primer parcial, realizamos un proyecto social que consistía en responder dos preguntas, estas siendo preguntas cerradas para que hubiera agilidad al momento de realizar la encuesta. Presentamos los resultados por medio de un video, elegimos dos preguntas muy simples sobre la pena de muerte. El punto de este cuestionario era revisar los distintos resultados de las dos preguntas y analizar qué tanto cambió la perspectiva de las personas durante las dos preguntas.  Decidimos realizar la encuesta sobre este tema ya que consideramos que la mayoría de las personas suelen tener opiniones muy distintas cuando en la situación que les planteamos su familia está incluida. Este cambio de opiniones podría ser visto como hipócrita, vengativo o incluso egoísta, pero esta finalmente se basará en las opiniones, ideales y experiencias de vida del individuo. La primer pregunta era:
