Today we practiced our listening skills, we saw a video about the history of Nashville Tenesee, and how it turned in the american music capital.
Before the video we thought in some specific words that could be in he video. The names of people, of places, the relationship between the people, especif numbers like dates or amounts are the most important things. We should write this words for could give an opinion about a listening or a video because you can remeber a complete phrase with only a word.

Today the teacher divided us in pairs for to do some exercices of PRESENT PERFECT.
After a few minutes all teams explained their parts, I think this method is very good for learn a new topic because you understand very well some part and you can expalin the topic easily.
And the class is more interactive and less boring.
I think we should do more this excercise because the class is more interesting and it will change a lot.

Today after 10 years of listen the song of Pink Floyd , "Money" I understood the lirycs of the song, "Money" talks about the problems that causes the cash, Pink Floyd say : "The money is the root of all evil today", and "why does anyone do anything?".

"Money" is one of the more succesful hits of Pink Floyd, these song is recorded between 1972 and 1973 for the "Dark side of the moon" album in the Abbey Road Studios and Roger Waters wrote the lirycs.

I think "Money" is quite sad and extremely deep, is good for reflect about somes situations and the music is absolutely wonderful.
