Task 13: Facebook

Watch the video again. Please, write your reaction to it. I expect a substantial amount of text. Questions like the following should be answered: Have you ever had the same thoughts as the young man in the video? Do you think the story reflects well the doubts a Facebook user may have? Is it realistic? Is it well balanced, showing the positive and the negative sides of social networks? Do you like how the topic is presented? Do you like the end? etc, etc.
DON'T just put words together. I'd like to have a very clear impression that you have given it some though and have tried to express ideas in the best possible way you can.

· The first time I saw the video in class not understood very well, but I've seen it at home, and I got clear ideas. Now I will talk a little about this video. The first thing is that I liked it, the video explains very well what many people do on facebook, especially younger people. I feel very identified, because many times we go out to party and we meet a person, and I add to facebook directly this person and I only have seen him once in life. I've also often thought that Facebook was a waste of time or that it was dangerous because it shows personal information. This video shows very well like users may doubt between add or ignore a person on Facebook, or they may doubt if this page is a waste of time. This video is completely realistic, I think many people will feel the same as this young man. The video shows more bad things than good things of this network, but I think that is very useful because you can speak directly with yours friends and publish pictures. I liked the video it because it explains the situation of many people very well, but the end in my opinion is the worst part, I don't like how it ends.

Task 12: Globish

Please, watch the video and try to understand as much as you can.

Task 11: Holy week

We used a couple of hours this week to review Holy Week from different viewpoints: religious, traditional, folklore, art, citizen participation, and even weird and extreme customs.

Answer the following question in as much detail as possible: Does holy week have any special meaning to you? In any case, explain, please:

· For me this week means a lot of since I was a child. Since I was seven or eight years I went with my parents to watch the processions, but i didn't like as now, I think that is because I was a child and I didn't like the noise and the burden of the center. I am a person of Christian religion and I believe in God, so this week gives me good feelings. From Easter I really like the smell of incense, the music played by the bands and see how the people move the processions. But the most important thing of this week is ''El Cautivo'' for me the most beautiful procession that there are in Málaga. Every year I see it with my mother and always I see this is equal of incredible for me. This year has been the most important because when I saw it, I immediately remembered my grandfather. My desire would have been to see it with him. So every year to see him again, I will ask something for my grandfather.
