To whom it may concern

I would like to apply for a job in this supermarket as a shop assistant this summer.

I have experience in this area, because I worked in others supermarkets like Lidl and Aldi, and I am keen on having contact with the people. If you like I can work in other job. I speak four different languages, English, German, Catalan and Spanish.

I want to work in the summer because the rest of the year I am studying. And this can be useful for  pay my university studies.

Yours faithfully

Ubisoft’s therapeutic video game Dig Rush treats ‘lazy eye’

News link




Ubisoft has joined with Amblyotech to create Big Rush, a game developed by researchers at McGill University in Montreal. This game is part of a trend that's "games for health", which are used to treat health problems. According to its creators the game has a 90% effective.

Recently, the video games aren't only for to play,but as you have seen with this game, these can go a step further and be useful to people. I think this is the beginning, and as a continuation of this will begin to design or consider if the gaming industry of video games can be useful for solving certain health problems.

In general I think that the presentation was good, but I failed especially the pronunciation and read too much. For this reason always I try that the content is good.

Presentation         10%	Do you use any resources: powerpoint, video, images, sound, real material...? Are the resources focused on the topic? Do the resources support your oral explanation? Is the timing 5- 10 minutes?	8%

(verbs, word order, tenses learnt in class) Is your vocabulary rich, varied (synonyms, idioms, expressions, phasal verbs, topic-related) Do you use sentence linkers? (and, but, moreover, also, furthermore, although, however…) Do you use fillers? (well, you know, for example, one second, repeating a word…)	14%
Pronunciation & Intonation         10%	Do you know how to pronounce all your words? Did you check the pronunciation? Do you change your tone of voice or use a monotone tone all the time? Do you speak in a fluid continuum or with breaks and interruptions?	4%

My favourite video game

 

The discussion among people to decide what is the best game or the best series of games lasts a long time. But I think that deciding which is your favorite game is as personal as your favorite food.

Personally I think that the best video game company are Rockstar with Grand Theft Auto, Bioware with Dragon Age and Naughty dog with Uncharted, because these dedicate a great work to his games, and neither overexploite their series game for getting all the money possible, as do Ubisoft with Assassin's Creed or Activision with Call of Duty.

The shooters games don't keen on very much, because they are very repetitive and monotonous with maps already marked, where you can not explore. For this reason I prefer roll games because the story is better and they are also quite free to explore.

Review of 50 Shades of Grey: The film

This week has been performed for the first time in the cinemas the movie "50 Shades of Grey", one of the most anticipated movies of this year.
The book has sold many units although personally I think is a very special story, or even a bit unreal, and denigrating for the women (I haven't read the book, but from what I have seen I know more or less the story). I have also seen some dialogues between the characters, and personally I found these stupids.
Maybe I don't like this movie because I'm a guy, but also has been criticized by many women, although it has been a great success.

My idea for a research paper

The truth is that cost me more than I thought choosing the research paper. First because you have to look good all the options that you have and choose a theme that you like. After because I may have to choose a theme, but I didn't know what to do, and decided to choose a one proposed theme.

In fact I would have liked to choose a practical theme, because I keen on technology. But it involves several problems, because apart from the practice should also I make the writing of this.

I'm interested especially in the subjects of mathematics, physics or chemistry.

Japanese company develops world's most powerful microscope

News link

Technological manufacturer Hitachi has developed a microscope with higher resolution in the world, based on transmission electron and able to make observations at the atomic level.

The electron microscope has a resolution of 43 picometers (one Picómeter is a billionth of a meter). The device was able to achieve this record of resolution thanks to a high concentration of emissions of electrons through wires and circuits specially designed for this.

This microscope could be used to develop new materials, through the observation of the position of the atoms.

These new materials that can be discovered, could be used for new inventions, if their properties are suitable, which personally I want to observe.

#TheDress

This image has created a big discussion on Internet, and separate the two. Those who see the image in black and gold, and those who see the image black and blue.

There are several theories why there are people who see different colors. Some say because it is the fault of mood (who believe that is stupid, I think. ), others say that their eyes perceive color tones different or something similar. But in reality it is nothing more than an optical illusion caused by light yellow background.

The dress is actually blue and black, and I personally see it as well. But is a stupidity the fuss that has brought a suit.
