Week 8

  • From the book we reviewed writing using Figurative Language:

vSmile: a way of describing something through a comparison using like or as. This comparison is with something not connected with the subject.
vMetaphor: a way to describe though a comparison but using is. The subject and the complement are the same.
vPersonification: gives human qualities to animals or objects.
vOxymoron: two words used together, which mean two different or opposite things, such as 'bitter-sweet' or 'smart casual‘. 
  • If scientists created a pill that allowed you to live twice as long while remaining free of infirmities,  would you take it? Why or why not?
vI would not take the pill because I don’t want to live more than I should. We don’t know what is going to happen in 50 years. People don’t know how to live properly nowadays.

  • From unit 6, “Give and Learn”, we remark the concept philanthropy: a way to show concern for people by giving money or volunteering to help people in need or organizations which help people in need.
  • We spoke about Oprah Winfrey, Mother Teresa, Angelina Jolie and Bill Gates. This VIP were seriously committed to the needy  all around the world and they have made an impact on their lives.
