2nd term personal reflection


In the 2nd term I learned a lot of things. Everyday that passes I learned something. English is not my language and always learn vocabulary or pronunciation. For example in my last presentation I learned a lot of vocabulary, and during the term I wrote a lot of writings and now I have more practice to do it. I think is important to record ours dialogues because my pronunciation is not very well I'm embarrassing to listen to me. In this last term I site next to Adam and he helps me with English. Thank you Adam!
I think that is important to say that the portfolio is a good idea to organize our English task. All in all, the portfolio is funny!

Presentation, The Oscars

In my presentation I talk about the Oscar. I think is important Know about it because is an actually even.



What is it talk about? THE OSCAR

The statuette is called Oscar because the most popular story is that Margaret Herrick, librarian and director of the Academy, after looking at the statuettes exclaimed: "it looks like just like my Uncle Oscar.” The meaning of Oscar is a Sir holding a Crusader’s sword, standing on film reel with five spokes.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences was established in May 1927 as a non-profit corporation to promote the art of movie making.The first Awards were in 1929 and were presented at a private dinner in the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel with 250 people.

Oscar suffer changes during the years. At first the Oscars’ ceremony awarded the better actors and actress of the moment. A few years later, Oscars awarded the overproductions of Hollywood. And, in the actually the cinema is based with marketing and money has more importance.


Woody Allen's opinion is very important for the cinemas world because he is a famous film director and he has total creative control. Woody says: "I would like that the prizes represent something, but unfortunately the way which they organized it, I don’t believe that it serve for much."
