English 3, Post 3, 'Your Favourite piece of technology'

 Write about your favourite piece of technology

Warm salutations, Earthlings from FCQF!

This time you are absolutely entitled to write about a piece of tech material you think is very important. Some of the parameters to follow may come below: 

Say: 

What it is.
When you got it.
How you use it.
How often you use it.
Why you like it.
What life would be like without it? 
Would you recommend using it?

- 140 words minimum.
- don't forget to leave comments on 3 of your classmates' posts and on your teacher's post as well. 

As usual, I leave my sample entry for you to take as a writing model -if you want to, of course-


My favourite piece of technology is paper. No, I am not crazy, and I do not want to pull your leg. It is for real. Paper has almost always been there for us, I mean, ‘us’ as humanity. So, concerning my lifetime, I have been dealing with paper my whole life.

Paper has multiple functionalities, so there would be a little difficult for me to name them all. For some reason I still do not understand, paper is a wonderful piece of edible material – meaning that you can eat it – at least when I was a little boy. To a certain extent, paper also serves as a beautiful media to put your thoughts on. Also, you can make sculptures out of paper, and that would be called ‘origami’, the art of making tri-dimensional figures out of paper.

I really do not ‘like’ paper. I would say that I ‘need’ paper because I like to write almost everything that gets into my head. And, you would say, ‘for there is a ton of internet out there, you could create a blog and write whatever you want. But, and there is probably my taste for it, paper is something you can touch, something you can feel with your hands, and probably, within that fact, my preference of paper over the internet would reside.

Life would never be the same without paper. There would not be history, culture, and a whole transmission of first-hand material for us to read and understand how humankind used to be so long ago. Without paper, there would be no culture at all, or at least, not a ‘durable’ culture. 

Cheers.

    I guess paper became so daily that we now don't see it as something important, although it is.

    The paper has even been part of childhood. Surely at school, many played with "paper airplanes" definitely is very important.

    I agree, the paper has been fundamental in our existence. Besides I have a friend who makes origami, the uses of paper are amazing.

English 3, Post 2, 'Why did I choose my major (study program)?'

  Warm Salutations, Earthlings from FCQF In this week, you are expected to write about,   - your dream jobs when you were a child   - other career options that you had at the moment of applying to university   - what made you decide on this major?   - your experience at the university until now      > word count:  130 words    >  don't forget to leave comments on  3 of your classmates' posts  and on  your teacher's post as well.     As usual, I leave a sample post for you to make fun of or to take as a starting point for your own written work,   Since I was a  child,  I did not think about getting a job or dreaming –daydreaming, perhaps- about getting a job. I did not contemplate the idea of an ideal job because it simply did not exist in my childish world. I was really into video games, soccer, and cycling. Now, that I think of it, I never imagined myself making money out of playing video games or playing soccer. I thought they were only hobbies to spend my time on.

  Dear Earthlings from FCQF! Write about a photograph you like. Say: Who took it What it shows When it was taken Why you like it Upload it too Include any other information you'd like to mention. Write at least  150 words. Add comments to your teacher  + 3 partners   As usual, I leave you with a sample entry, This is the photo I chose that I really like. If you ask me I really do not know who took it, it probably was taken from a professional photographer, since it is a promotional image for the Japanese trio “Shonen Knife”. The photo basically shows the band image, which consisted of Naoko Yamano (vocalist, centre), Atsuko Yamano (Drummer, left) and Michie Nakatani (bassist, right) I do not know when the photo was taken, but, by judging the band appearance, it seems to be it was taken sometime around 1990.  I really like this photo as I already told you, because this band is a blast, a really cool rock and roll band. It derives from the punk movement in the US, particularly, from
