Post 8, Summer Holidays

-
Write about your future summer holidays
Mention: 

- Places  you are going (or would like) to visit
- People you are going to / would like to be with 
- Activities you are thinking of being part of.

You have to write 240 words.


Giving your opinion

"In my opinion…."


"As far as I'm concerned…."



"As I see it…."


Giving a strong opinion

"I'm absolutely convinced that…."


"I strongly believe that…."


"I have no doubt that…"


Example:
As I see It, 2017 was quite a bumpy ride, full of unexpected turns and detours. But in the end, I think it is going to finish all right. I have no doubt that next year will be much quieter, I am really looking forward to keep on studying and getting into new projects.
As far as I am concerned, the summer holidays will be a time to rest and concentrate on what is going to happen after. Since I am just a part-time teacher, getting the next job is always a matter of preparation, good timing and luck.
Anyways, I would like to keep it quite a bit, stay with my loved ones and not worry too much. I know it doesn't sound that exciting, but up to now I have been going out a lot less and spending much more.
Living on your own has its costs, and one of them is not being able to travel a lot. When I was younger holidays were the perfect chance to get out of the city and get into unexpected adventures. As far as I am concerned, being able to keep working on art projects is an adventure in itself.
After having said that, I am still planning to do some traveling in the future, although I'd like to connect them with my professional life. Therefore, an Artist-in-residency program wouldn't be bad at all. 
Last March I was lucky to be part of a project that involved staying at a house devoted to this (Casa Poli). It was a great experience since I could share with the local people, and get to know about their lives. All of this helped me to reflect upon what means to travel, and how it shapes our future decisions.
Henceforth, from this summer on, I will start working on a project that allows me to get back to this same place. There are still plenty of things to do.

    Hello Dani ! sometimes proyects are exciting too, mostly if it involve your future plans. I remember several times I didn't travel because I have to do works or take time to think about an idea of proyect, this is funny too :)

    Hi, it sounds like you're really busy! so yes, it's nice to use the holidays just to rest and do the things you can't when you're working/studying. I hope you spend a nice summer :P

    The important thing is that you can rest and enjoy the couple of months.

    Hi teacher, the idea of connect the travels with the professional life is very interesting, I never have been in an Artist-in-residency program, but I want to do it. I hope for the holidays you can be free of preoccupations, and you can stay with your loved people.

Dear Students, This is your course Blog, here you can find all the instructions and samples to guide you on your writing. Our first post is titled A country I would like to visit. Please check out my sample: Fitzcarraldo (1982), filmed in Iquitos, you should  definitely  watch this movie If you ask me, I  have always dreamt  about going for a long holiday trip around the world. I know it is no easy task, but I really like  the idea of  moving constantly from place to place, meeting new people and adapting to their customs. Some years ago, I  backpacked  to the south of Peru, It was a wonderful experience. I loved every bit about it. The beautiful sights, the warmth of the people, and all the fun you can find even when you are  on a budget ! I f I had the time and money I would love to get back there , but this time I would choose to go north, to Iquitos, and stay a  whole season  in the jungle. Iquitos is the ca...

Post 4. Free-Themed post. Talk about your favourite artist

For this post, you have to talk about your favourite artist, please keep in mind the following: -What kind of art does he/she make? -What is your favourite piece of art? ( In which ways does it influence your work?) -Talk about his/her life You have to write at least 200 words. Don't forget to comment ( 3 classmates). To comment is to care ;) Robert Rauschenberg To begin with, I think this is a hard question since there are so many artists -local and international- that I find interesting. Even more, each day one gets to know newer art makers, or rediscover some old forgotten work from the past, It is a never ending quest. At this moment, the only artist I can think of is the late Robert Rauschenberg, an extraordinary american artist, who almost single-handedly redefined the definition of modern art. When I was younger, I could not distinguish Rauschenberg's work from some of its contemporaries.  He was a bit too prolific, too hard to nail down (or classify). ...
