July 26th, Daily Journal

On July 26^th, we begin listening a podcast about moods and words we can use to express how we feel, the podcast Georgiana start with the following vocabulary: sad, desolate, devastated, happy, enlighted, exalted, thrilled, static, boring, entertaining, amusing, mad, angry, upset, annoyed, pissed off, nervous, anxious and relaxed. She said that a person may feel optimistic about something or even pessimistic, then expose that when we feel optimistic we must expect good things in the future and in the case of feeling pessimistic then we don’t expect anything good.

Later we saw a TedTalk about to Self-Love and be intentional, she began with the question “What defines us as a person?” and that some people tend to define ourselves through our physical image, by our jobs, bank balance and a lot of time what others have to say about us. Then she told a story about her life and that when she was a little in the school she wants to be likeable and popular because being that way was so cool, at the age of 16 she started to obsess and she wants to look like the cover girl in Cosmetic Magazine, but she realized that she was living a live through other people’s opinions, she said that the personal growth has to be intentional and take ownership of our growth process because it doesn’t happen automatically like our bodies grown.

At last we were working on the book staring by the page 72, the fist think that we did was an exercise of check How much do we know about the Empire State Building, the next one was a grammar focus Passive with by (Simple past) witch structure is Past of be (was) + Past Participle as example for active sentence “The president opened the building” and then in passive sentence “It was opened by the president in 1931” and then we worked on a complete the sentences with the simple past passive form of the verbs exercise and  other one of a change the sentences using passive sentences with by. The next thing we do was a complete the chart with the categories of things that can be Farmed, Grown, Manufactured or Raised for example the cheeps can be raised and the final think we saw was the Passive without by (Simple Present) is the same of the last we did without by in Simple past but now we use the structure of present of be + past participle.
