Weekly Update #4: kill me pls

I give up on life, hi.

I am doing this late again because apparently I can't do anything right, anyways here's what we saw last week wwuwuwuwuwuwu:

What I learned last week in SMRT 140

Here's the usual list:

• I don't want to talk about this anymore
• APA
• Sentences
• Obesity

WE

ARE

STLL

WITH

THIS

GODDAM

TOPIC

HELP

(fyi I am talking about Chinese and Western medicine)

I am already an expert in this topic, hit me up if you want to be schooled about it.

I enjoyed the APA exercises. I think that citing is very important even though I don't usually do it, but that's because I don't know how to not because I am lazy af. That's why I liked this, because I can learn how to cite correctly and not be sued of plagiarism. They showed you how to cite in APA format if you had all the data, if you didn't have the author, date, their address or type of blood, it was amazing!

Another thing that we saw was how to join sentences. Sometime it is better to have a more structured sentence than having a lot of simple sentences, or at least that's what the sad guy from the SMRT videos told us, and I trust him. 

We saw how to make compound, complex, and compund-complex sentences, I actually had to work in this because I didn't remember and I felt stupid.

I got really sentimental when doing thses exercises because I remembered SMRT 125. 😭😭😭😭😭😭

So now SMRT has the audacity of making me feel FAT all week with their topics about obesity and health and stuff.

The most relevant thing about this was a video that I didn't want to see and then after seeing it I got sad. 9/10 because I still felt fat thanks.

The word of the week is:

Self-esteem (which I lack)

Hi, here's and actual picture of me doing this:

Then this is me realizing my life sucks:

Here's me showing my cool t-shirt I slept on and that has a food stain:

And this is me showing you my pimple:

It's me again showing you my teeth:

Me being awkward:

And in here I am actually laughing of how stupid I was being:

I lost hope in life in here:

Then I got sad:

THANK YOU FOR READING AND LOOKING AT MY UGLY FACE BYEEEEEEEEEEE

Weekly Update #1: Why are we being forced to do this?

Being a student of CEB has been an incredible experience for me. It has made grow as a better sudent and person, make me realize who my real friends are, and introduced me to a lot of new experiences. One of which I am now very familiarized with: SMRT.

In first semester I started in level 125, with an awesome teacher and a fun class. I am sure it was and still is the best of all the other levels. As I advanced on this platform, I was asked to do different activities in order for me to practice my english and be better at it.

However, I had no clue of the storm that was coming. I am now in 140 and the activities I have to make are a nightmare. I am now being forced against my will to update weekly about what we see in class, and they especifically ask you to make it boring, so here I am.

Now that I wasted your time with this unnecessary introduction, let's start with the sad part:

What I learned last week (and Monday of this week) in SMRT 140

We've seen a lot of skills since we've been in 125; however, in 140 we are now focusing on a more college level English, since they are helping us to prepare ourselves for that academic level.

Last week we practiced the skills of:

• Reading
• Listening
• (and the worst) Writing 😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😖

In all of them we've practised the basics:

• Reading: identfying the main ideas and important details.
• Listening: paying attention, taking notes and identifying important information.
• Writing: learning to write something correctly because let's be real, we don't write good.

However, there has been an exhaustive reitaration in two aspects:

1. General Statement
2. Thesis Statement

I've been having nightmares about both of them, so let me explain to you what are they.

According to the paper Miss Karitza gave me,  "a general statement is a broad introduction to the paper's topic." And also "a thesis statement offers a concise summary of the main point or claim..." of whatever you are writing. 

So we've been mainly focusing on identifyng these two when we read and listen to something, and also we are learning how to write them correctly.

I've decided that each week I am going to choose a vocabulary word that stuck to me all week.

Last's week vocabulary word is : (drumroll)

HOLISTIC

Thank you for reading until here, you can now have a cute pic of a mini donkey. Enjoy 😊
