BLOG: 8

To me the English class has been very entertaining and productive. Well, to say the truth I hate (not too much), talking english, it was very difficult to me at the first time, I feel very embarrassment when is my turn to talk because my pronunciation is not the best, but I now it’s not so terrible, I feel more confidence about me. The class has helped me a lot, now I talk in English without care what people think. I really have learnt a bit from this language over the class. Despite, I know that I have to study more, mainly grammar, because I don’t remember a lot of things. However, I like this class because I always liked to learn English. And of course it’s useful, specially with the work that we develop in the blogs, the listening, everything that we make in class is useful.

It is noteworthy that this is my only class in the morning, so I try to do my best work to get on time to the class. If I would change something about this class is the arrival time, this is too early, I hate that because the bus and subway were fully and is so terrible!!! We have to change that. (This is a real problem you most have to think about this).

Well, in this video Denis Dutton is talking about beauty (Darwin’s theory) and how this concept has been present in our evolution history.  He said a lot of things, like: beauty is natures way of acting at a distances, or, like beauty is a concept that the ancestors created to keep and developed their way of relationships with others in many task, for example the reproduction and survival, etc. Finally Dutton concluded that one of the idea that persists today, as in our present as in the pass, “that beauty we find in skills performances” (or something like this), that’s included pieces of arts, the nature, the people because to him “we find beauty in something done well”. He is saying that beauty is concept that has to do with some skills to made things, like behind beauty are not emotional interest. Well, I find Dutton’s theory interesting; I find senses in his worlds, I would like to say something more but my English is too basic.  But, I always though the experience of beauty (in all senses) has been determine, principally, for the culture and by the other hand, is a something to do with personal tastes, or in arts terms, the aesthetic taste.  And when I say this, I’m talking about Kant’s concept of beauty, something like the judgment of taste.

Hello! Everybody, I have to say that I couldn’t go to the class today because I did not feel well, I felt sick, so Im sorry. Well I saw the website by Frank Warren and I think it was fun and interesting. I think is rare why can people say when no one can see them, or why can people say in the anonymity, and I understand why people keep some secrets because some are very innocents and others are very important, I think these last you can not keep them. Im refer to keep the secret of the name of the father of your son, for example, things like that. But is interesting to know how people keep things or details so important, I dont know how can live with that!. This was the most interesting and astonishing of the website by Frank Warren. I enjoy it. Well I have to say that I dont have many secrets, but I have save many secrets of my friends, but I think that Im a good friend, so his secret are safe with me or not???

Well that’s all, I hope you see the next Friday, in the next class. You have a nice week!!!

Bye.
