Week 18: Who we are

I have found a lot of idioms in this webside: https://www.ecenglish.com/learnenglish/lessons/body-idioms

I have decided to choose the first 5 idioms:

1. Foot in mouth: To put your foot in your mouth means that you say or do something that accidentally embarrasses or offends another person.
2. Cost an arm and a leg: When something costs an arm and a leg it costs a lot of money. It's very expensive.
3. Get off my back: We use this expression when someone is criticising you or telling what to do all the time.
4. Cold shoulder: To give someone the cold shoulder means to ignore someone.
5. Cold feet: To get nervous and to have second thoughts about doing something.

I have been very busy with English this week. I had to study a lot because I had a CertAcles exam to pass B2. Also, I have been practising my listening watching Harry Potter. Besides, to train my speaking, I have been answering different question about different topics. So I must say that this week has been a very completed one.

Week 17: IN MY VIEW

A topic that I strongly support is to have the right of being able to study at university for free.
I do not understand why in my country, public studies must be paid. So, why do public and private universities exist? If finally we have to pay our degree, either private or public. From my point of view, it is a cultural delay, since in many European countries, anyone is able to study any degree without paying anything. As I said before, it is a right and everyone should have the possibilty of study to get a good job in their future. Or even if someone, already having a career,  just want to get knowledge about an specific subject or degree afterwards.

This week has been focused on my listening, since I believe it is my worst skill in English. I really need to practice it much more because depending on the accent I understand everything or the mostly and other times is impossible. So, as british English is one of the hardest accent for me, I have decided to watch britsh films this week.

Week 16: Language

There are a lot of different languages that I would like to learn. But my first goal is to get a really good level in English because it is the language that I love the most. I think that I have to get better in many different ways, either my speaking or my writing, but also I believe I am improving every year a bit. So, I am happy for that. When I finish my degree I would like to continue with German. From my point of view, it is a really hard language but at the same time very useful in nowadays. German is spoken by a little amount of people, so it is a great decision to learn it. Thus, many jobs will be interested in you.

It is very important to get a schedule about your week. In my case, I decided to make one about the whole month. In this schedule, apart from my homeworks, I take note about what extra exercices I want to do to pratice my English, such as reading books, watch any film, etc. So, every week I try to achieve my weekly goals to complete my month.
