WE FOUND LOVE

Hello readers! At this time we have done a very interesting and useful work.

The project consisted on choosing a music video in English and translate it into different languages; minimum two, English and Basque or Spanish. For that, we had made an account on a program called Dotsub and we studied how to use it. We could do this work in pairs or individually and Idoia Eceiza and I decided to make the work in pairs.

I think this project has been very useful because in my case, I didn't know any program to translate videos and now, I can use it whenever I want and without problems. Although it has been a work, we have enjoyed it because the video music was chosen by us and we like it a lot.

The song and the video we chase was called "We found love", maybe you know this song because Rihanna, the singer it is famous all around the world. The song is from Rihanna but is featured with Calvin Harris. We have chosen the video and the song because its meaning is very nice and the video is perfect.  We translated the video in 6 languages; Spanish, English, Basque, Italian, Japanese and Arabic.

As I said, Rihanna is very famous all around the world. This singer was born in 1988 in Barbados, but now she lives in USA. Her music styles are pop, dance, dubstep, dancehall, reggae, rhythm and blues & soul and she has collaborated with many other famous singers such as Kanye West, Katy Perry, Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj, Eminem, etc. Her discography history is very big, but my favorite songs of Rihanna are Umbrella, Man down, I love the way you lie, Te amo, Cheers and You da one.

Here is the project, I hope you'll enjoy it:

HUMAN RIGHTS

Hi readers! I want to show you the last work we did in class. The work consisted on doing a poster with a programme called Glogster. The poster's topic had to be about humans rights, womens rights or children rights. We did the work in pairs and my partner was Idoia Eceiza. We chase the human rights as topic and we started to read and find different information about it (pictures, etc.).

SECOND TERM

Hello once more! We are finishing the second term and I want to explain you the works that we have been doing along this three months. First, we did a presentation about all the works that we had done in the first term, we made it in a programe called SlideShare, where we learnt how to add audio to a pictures presentation. (You can see the SlideShare presentation that I did with Idoia Eceiza in my previous post)

After that, we started to use Google Sites to create a webpage of our imaginary commerce. We learnt (and we are still learning) how to edit our site changing the colours, backgrounds, etc. On that webpages, we wrote the location of our shop, the products that we sell and many other things. After finishing the webpage, we did a Basque version of it and we connected the two webpages by creating another page which had the link to both.

SUMMARY SLIDECAST

Hello everybody! In the first term we have done many different works and our tutor Ana has sent us the work to do a slide presentation to summarize all the works of the term. We did the presentation in a programme called SlideShare where the slides are accompanied with an audio of the explanation.

Here you have the link for the SlideShare that I did with my partner Idoia:

SUMMARY SLIDECAST

Nobel Peace Prize in 2001

Hi everybody! Here I am again to speak you about more interesting things. This time, our teacher has given us the work to write an article. But the article won't be about any subject, first, we have collected the information in pairs about the Nobel prizes given the latest 12 years and every pair had a year to write about, organized in different groups concerning to the theme (Physics, chemistry, literature, peace, economics and physiology and medicine). Then, we have investigated the persons that interest us the most  and we have chosen one. Here you have the document where we have been collecting all the information.

THE BEST DECISION

It was a summer night, Kate and Kevin were running under the rain laughing about the ridiculous situation, they were coming back from their interpretation classes. Kate’s hair and dress were completely wet and her makeup was smeared, Kevin’s sweater and shoes were also soaked. When they arrived at Kate’s home she realised that it was time to say goodbye but she felt so good with Kevin that she wanted to stay more time with him. She had never had such an interesting conversation, neither with Mark, her boyfriend. She loved Mark, yes, but since many months ago, things had changed and what Kate felt for Mark was a different type of love, a love of friends, only friends.

SHOCKING TRADITIONS IN ALL AROUND THE WORLD

Hello everybody before I've been thinking what about to write, I have decided to speak you about traditions  in all around the world. And why I have choosen this topic? Well, I think that it's curious to know about other traditions and cultures, personally, I like very much to listen about different traditions that people in different countries have.

I'm going to share with you some traditions that have shocked me.

In the Indian state of Maharashtra a dangerous tradition has been practiced for the last 500 years; when a new baby is born, his parents throw the baby from the top of a building to a sheet. We may think that this is a crazy and senseless tradition but indu people believe that the practice of this ritual blesses their children with good health and luck.You can watch this video to understand much better how it's practiced:

SOCIAL WEBSITES

Hi readers! In this post I'm going to speak about the social websites, I'm  sure you'll know any of them; like Tuenti, Twitter, Facebook...

Nowadays, nearly all of us use this type of sites, but we are not conscious about the consequences that they could have. When we start using a social web we get so excited because we have got the possibility to speak with all our friends, upload photos and share them with the people to see who likes them, also, we can play many games with them and send private messages to whoever we want.

But as I said, it has some consequences, many of your friends on Tuenti or Facebook for example, could gossip on your profile and see what you do, with who, where... Also, although your photos are protected for people not downloading them, anybody can take a photo of the screen and then your photo will be in hand of someone that maybe you don't want to be. Besides, if you have a private conversation with any of your friends, it's so easy to copy and paste it to anybody, and your conversation won't be so private.
