Hi folks!

This was the first semester that I take this class. I had not had English subject since I was at high school. This was my reencounter with the English language and it was a very grateful experience. I enjoy this subject because is a theoretical and practical way to learn English and the class is not boring like Hydrology or SIG. My favorite post was the post about your favored TV show at childhood, because it brought to me many memories and some nostalgic thoughts.

I have not a least favorite post. I think that all the post and all the activities in this semester were funny and enjoyable experiences. I enjoy very much to read the blog of Anita, because the blog show a part of her life and she is my friend. Also, Sofia gave me cookies every class. The most attractive blog is Charlotte´s. The Charlotte´s blog is awesome!!!

The conclusion of this semester is that the blog way to learn English is a very good tool to make the subject, because it is a mixture between fun, language and work. I hope that all my classmates thinks in that way, it’s a very good group and I ill waiting the next semester!

Hi dudes!

This week I’m going to talk about my favorite TV show of all times: Rurouni Kenshin, also called Samurai X. This TV show is an anime (an animation based on a comic, called “manga”) broadcasted at the 90s on Chilevisión and Cartoon Network (at El Club de los Tigritos and Toonami respectively). The anime is based on the life of Kenshin Himura, a swordsman called “The legendary Battousai, the Manslayer” 10 years after the Meiji Revolution (the anime takes place in Japan). Himura is a wandering samurai that travel around Japan to search for redemption for his past crimes. At the Meiji Revolution, he was an assassin at the orders of the Ishin Shishi Clan, the revolutionary party at those times, and he fought against the Imperial Shogun and his elite police, the wolves of Miburo, the Shinsengumi. He is described as a master of the most powerful style of sword art, the ancient Hiten-Mitsurugi Ryu. After the Revolution Meiji, he begins his journey promising not to kill anymore. He wields a sakabatou, a reverse-blade katana, to maintain his promise. He arrives to Tokio, and meets Kamiya Kaoru, a teacher of art sword. The history begins in that point. This is my favorite TV show of all times because the history of Kenshin is the history of redemption, is the search for the forgiveness of all the enemies that he killed at the Revolution. For Kenshin, the punish for his crimes is to live. 100% reccomendable.
