Intermediate English by Thel

  This assignment is always useful, because it is about learning vocabulary, which is adding more words to our personal lexicon. This increases our English level and adds confidence to use the English language. I enjoyed organizing the information on sequence adverbs to make it clearer and easy to understand. First defining them, then describing their usage, adding examples and finally writing their rules.

  I liked this topic because it is more concise, since the use of specific modal verbs that are used to make petitions and requests is implied. The most difficult thing was organizing the information to be understandable. The information also included the intonation and pronunciation, since it is also an important part of the use of modal verbs.

  Time to review modal verbs. It is never a waste of time to read the rules of the use of this auxiliary verbs. The most difficult thing with this assignment was deciding how to organize the material, so it was appealing and clear to understand.

I looked them up in some other resources I found on the web. And I also got the opinion of one of my best friends, who is a Psychologist and works in a well known university.  I´m sure this subject is an important part for us as students of the English language.

 The following are, in my opinion, the best posts in our forum and wiki activities during this course. From our classmate Cristian Jesus Cauich Magaña -  What did your brothers eat? v    My sister and my little brother ate chocolate cakes. Why didn’t you eat chocolate cakes? v    I didn’t eat chocolate cakes because I don’t like chocolate. Give an example of a specific situation (elabora en inglés un ejemplo como el de los pasteles) .   Example Situation: “Last weekend, we had a family picnic. My dad brought ham sandwiches, and my mom made turkey sandwiches. My older brother prefers vegetarian food, so he had a veggie wrap, and my sister ate peanut butter and jelly sandwiches because she doesn’t like meat. I enjoyed the ham sandwiches because they are my favorite.” Greetings to everyone, looking forward to your feedback. I think Cristian´s post is clear and concise. Cristian´s example situation is descriptive and detailed. He wrote long sentences with ...
