Final post :( !



Many stories and ideas was wrote on my blogg. At first, was difficult for me think in english, listen and talk, I was insecure. At first I translated in spanish and then english, a job that I´m tired!. With the practice in class, tried improved my conversation and understanding, from that moment i had to start thinking in english. Writing my blogg, I knew more words, I only needed someone to correct me and post to see my mistakes recurring. My favourite story was the best designer because by this post I received a mail from Laurence Loewy , Raymond`s daugther who said “well, done!””, was really exciting for me that she look my english blogg and has written. THE INTERNET POWER!!!!! On the other hand, in the BBC web I discovered a page where I can practice every week to learn more, but my favourite way was what I learn in classroom, I learn to really think in english and don´t have fear to talk about different themes with differents peoples. The class “it opened my hears” to understand each word, now is more easy for me listened and understand movies and songs. Actually is so necessary talk in english, if I want go to study to other side, travel, or work, I have more possibilities and tools. Is a very important languaje used by many peoples. Many books that I´m interesting are in english, it improve my reading too. I will miss the class, I would like have more levels to reinforce what has been learnt, and practice. I will practise forever, maybe we should organize practic groups or continue searching bodies for doing increasingly well. I hope you liked, and you know me, to share my learning, with each person who read my posts.Thanks!, see you, goodbye!

The Shining


The famous Stephen King wrote one of my favorites novels called The Shining, wich awoke my fears for first time in my life. From that moment I lived thinking Why is so difficult write, if only you need a pencil?.

Moreover, i liked the protagonist thought, because really frightened me his pathological actions in madness moments and I could not sleep in several days...I read this book when I was a teenage and recomended it me a teacher who was a little crazy.

This novel recounts the writer life, who had to begin a new story, a novel than will change the course their family life, because to write it had to live in a far away hotel supposedly haunted, before of they, other family had dead, all family... The writer falls in completely madness and try to kill his wife and son.

I like this book because I love the abeyance and how it developed the madness along story.

The best Designer








Hi!, I want to show one of my favorite designers, this isn`t an easy job, because there are many designers in the history, but i chose Raymond Loewy to his intervention on Industrial and Graphic design.
He was a french designer and worked in U.S.A.. Was born in Mónaco in 1893. At 15 years old design and built an aeroplane toy, with it won the James Gordon Benett Cup, and then he discovered design could be funny and profitable.
Loewy studied in Universitè of Paris and then in the Ècole of Lanneau, where he was graduated like engineer.
His Vision“Between two products at the same price, people buy the most beauty” That said in his presentation card what he sent to every people that he knows. Loewy has a purpose to this create an country identity and lift the nation spirit.
Considered one of the best streamlining exponent, Raymond said the cover it chance to express the machine or product for it self.
The streamlining begins to use for improve the aeroplane performance, locomotives or cars, but soon begin to use to give elegance and attractive for the customer.
He worked with engineering and aesthetics to give successfully good appearance and function.
I like them for his futurist thought to desing and because his designs remains currently.
