What is your opinion about using blogs to learn English?
Fantastic I like this method for working because we can mix the technology with our knowledge.
Is very dinamic and interesting to learn things every day for teaching in the future our students.
Maybe we can work continue with this or other method like this method.
Is there anything you would change? or you wouldn't change anything?
I think that with the method in which we work no, but in other aspect as the internet or the classroom yes .. but are details ...
I liked this form of work. it was something different.
"Thank you Miss for your manner of working with us"..

" PARTS OF SPEECH"
1.WHAT ARE PARTS OF SPEECH?
Part of speech is any of the grammatical groups into which words are divided depending on their use.
Parts of speech are the basic types of words that English has.
We have eight parts of speech: nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns, conjunctions, prepositions and interjections.
2. What are the main parts of the speech? Define them and give examples
The main parts of speech are:
1.Noun :A noun is a naming word. It names a person, place, thing, idea, living creature, quality, or action. Examples:cowboy, theatre, box, thought, tree, kindness, arrival
2.Verb :A verb is a word which describes an action (doing something) or a state (being something). Examples:walk, talk, think, believe, live, like, want
3.Adjective :An adjective is a word that describes a noun. It tells you something about the noun. Examples:big, yellow, thin, amazing, beautiful, quick, important
4.Adverb :An adverb is a word which usually describes a verb. It tells you how something is done. It may also tell you when or where something happened. Examples:slowly, intelligently, well, yesterday, tomorrow, here, everywhere
5.Pronoun :A pronoun is used instead of a noun, to avoid repeating the noun. Examples:I, you, he, she, it, we, they.
6.Conjunction :A conjunction joins two words, phrases or sentences together. Examples:but, so, and, because, or.
7.Preposition :A preposition usually comes before a noun, pronoun or noun phrase. It joins the noun to some other part of the sentence. Examples:on, in, by, with, under, through, at.
8.Interjection :An interjection is an unusual kind of word, because it often stands alone. Interjections are words which express emotion or surprise, and they are usually followed by exclamation marks. Examples:Ouch!, Hello!, Hurray!, Oh no!, Ha!
3. Why is important to know about Parts of Speech ?
It's important to know the different sorts of words that sentences are made. This knowledge helps enormously when looking words up in a dictionary, when trying to figure out what goes with what in a sentence and to improve your writing as well as your speaking.

TIC-TAC-TOE GAME
I think that tic-tac-toe game is an interesting game because is a new form for teaching students and is a fun form to learn more about conditional.
With this game students could be more interested, atented and motivated with the class.
A lot of them could give theirs answer and opinion in the case if someone is wrong.

Some exercices were dificult for me, but I can understand a lot of them without problem..

In the first and the second exercises I haven`t problem but in the third conditinal exercises I have more problem..I have to study more for understanding the structure
