#EnglishBootcamp - Day #27

3️⃣ Advanced . Did the blogpost have most of the points mentioned in today’s class? If not, how can it be improved? . I recently finished reading Matthew Walker’s Why We Sleep, so for this reason I looked for a post about it. And I found this one by Bill Gates titled This book put me to sleep.

I could find a very good structure in the post. First Gates opened with an Introduction, adding his own experience and how sleep is so important. Next in the body, he supported his post with some evidence that the author in the book said, he analyzed some important points. In the end, he shared his conclusion. He said that Walker taught him a lot about this basic activity that every person on Earth needs. And just to finish in some way he recommended the book for the audience. Because he thinks that the book will help them as well.

And I can say the same, I highly recommend you the book Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker to have a better sleep hygiene.

I've always been fascinated by ancient civilizations on how they decided to give up their nomadic lifestyle and settling  down at one place. Thanks to history  these places can be clearly identified today: Egypt, Mesopotamia, Greece, Rome, The Indus Valley, China, Japan, Mexico and Perú -although I'm Peruvian I haven't been in most of the historical places yet- But I hope I could travel to all of these places before I kick the bucket. If I could choose one of those places, that would definitely be Egypt. I'd love to meet the people, their culture and customs, visit all the magic and mysterious places of Ancient Egypt, ride a camel in the middle of the desert, take a cruise on the Nile river, and learn the basics of Demotic if possible.

Thanks for reading 😎

P.S.: Here's a video of the Inca Empire, It's short, entertained and in English.

I'll always be fascinated by German culture. Germany is a beautiful country, it has a great arcuitecture and its people are very happy. What strikes me is its variety because it has beautiful lakes, incredible home designs and good football.

Someday, I will visit Germany, that is one of my dreams. I love that country.

Advanced

I chose an article provided in a prior class and it's about the golden rule of customer service.

I think this article is very clear, it takes you through in a way that you don't miss anything, so it's easy to read and understand.

From the beginning its objective is established. Then you have an introduction explaining the origins of that rule.

Then there are 4 sections that analyze the rule and there is a final conclusion.

For me it's 10/10.

Hi! I'm Oscar and I share the paragraph to acomplish the challenge for today.

Some time ago I read a book called 'El salvaje' by Guillermo Arriaga. The story has two stories that in one point of time they merge and one of them is about an eskimo guy and how he achieved to domate a wild wolf. The point is that this part of the story develops in Alaska's forest in winter. The way nature is described makes me mad. We are talking about a lot of snow, silence, rude climate, a kind of desolation and at the same time, calm, peace and the human being face to face with nature force. There is another book called 'Into the wild' by Jon Krakauer where Alaska appears again. The main characer decides to left his whoe life behind and goes to Alaska to try to survive by himself in the middle of the forest.

Yes, I love forest landscapes and unfortunately I don't have many experiences visiting forest in my country. The most attractive thing about scenarios I have described is snow and the feeling of stay as far away as possible, almost in the end of the world (or in one of the corners, better said). There are other reasons, for example, I like cloudy cold days and by its geography, Alaska has this kind of climate. I feel attraction about wild life and I think I can be in touch with animals and nature force in special way in Alaska. There are some places aroud the world where you can see the northern ligths. Alaska is one of them! I love eating salmon and climate and conditions make me belive I can do it a lot there. I don't have any experience about sports like kayak or climbing and Alaska can give me the opportunity to try them at pro level hahaha. And the last reason I have is population. People is molded by their enviroment and I'd like to know how people living in Alaska is. Maybe the first step is try to know places which could have similar caracteristics, I'm sure in Mexico (where I live) I can find this kind of places but it is a fact that in the future, I'll be eating salmon in front of the nature, sitting on the snow and remembering when it was my dream.

2️⃣Intermediate You have the opportunity to visit a foreign country for two weeks. Which country would you like to visit? Use specific reasons and details to explain your choice.

I will like to visit Vietnam because i saw different videos of travel bloggers who went to this country and the landscapes was amazing, in the videos you can see different amazing places, the food looks very delicious, added to this they have a beautiful locations as halong, Ho Chi Minh City, Hue, Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park, that are a historical places. On the other hand many travelers sais Vietnam is very cheap, the hotels and food had a low price and the quality is excellent. Also i heard the people is very friendly, there are many tourist, and is a safe place

Can a pair of sunglasses help build compassion in the classroom?

• Review

Have you ever heard about the Washington State Teacher of the year? If so, this post talks about the Washington State Teacher of the Year 2021, Brooke Brown, who helped her students to students explore their identity in extraordinary times.

This is a well-written text with an attractive structure, and while you are reading it, you feel inspired and motivated by what she has made. If you are a teacher, this article may help you by giving you some ideas and a model you can copy and use in your classroom.

Although I am not normally keen on this kind of post, I would definitively recommend it to anyone who wants to read a short, easy reading, and informative post.
