http://campus.ort.edu.ar/articulo/387847/how-to-write-proposals-and-reports In this proposal we can see six different parts: Introduction, Overseas student's problems, revised student guidebook, social activivties, student advisors and conclusion. This is a proposal that has the intention of integrating new students into university life.  http://happycart.co/report-format-examples/ In this report we can see five different parts: The introduction of the report, the introdiction of the author, the summary and the body of the review. It is different from the proposal because the report is a review from a book, and the proposal represents a purpose or an intention. The purpose of the review is to show the opinion someone has about a book. This week, in order to improve my English I met with some Erasmus students to chat and practice my oral skills.

"Urban living" by Alba Muñoz

I would love to live in a house similar to that one. I love the countryside and the type of living that you can live there. The quietness that you can enjoy there, as well as the freedom feeling are incredible. I can imagine my life there when I am 50 as a very peaceful one, as I am. I imagine myself working at home and having breakfast outside as well as having a walk around the mountains daily. That would be really awesome to me. I would also love living in this places: Away from noise and near to nature Breathtaking views, skying and snowfalls A small village taken from a tale, close to nature and wild life This week, in order to improve my english, I have been listening to an audiobook in english: "The Chronicles of Narnia"

Post-it Watch I have the honour to introduce you the post-it watch! How many times have you wrote down very important things and forget the post-it sticked in the wall? Or in the post-it block? This is not happening to you anymore with the post-it watch, in which you can note your duties and to do things, and then you should stick it on your wrist and wear it wherever you go. It is original, practical and useful! Since I found it, it is a must on my desk! You may not forget anything else in the future! This week, in order to improve my english I have been watching the second season of the serie "Stranger Things" in english.

"Successful Business" by Alba Muñoz

A successful business, in my opinion, is a system in which the owner gets his own purpose. A successful business should provide you with enough money to pay the expenses, but also some money for you to live. But to be successful other important things are key, for instance, there should be a good relationship between the workers and it has to be an enriching job for them, as well as for the owner itself. Another key is to treat well customers, as well as think of them while creating products but also when establishing offers or prices. These and many other tips, can be found in the following websites:  - Types of people you need to start a successful business - 10 Tips for Successful Business Networking - Business Lessons From Mega-Entrepreneur Richard Branson In my opinion, from the given list the best things to take in account are using your leverage, acquire partners, being grateful, stay healty and never forget about family's importance. This week, in order to improve my...

"Connections" by Ana Mª Mondéjar

Dear Noelia, I'm writing this letter because some days ago since we don't talk. Apart from this, I don't know why but you turned off our phone and this is the only way I can talk to you.  I know you want to know how I improve my English because you told me you were interested in travelling abroad. So, when I'm not in class, I'm use to doing many activities to still improving my English. Forst of all, watching TV programmes is the best option because you learn while you enjoy. I recommend you some interviews from your favourite singers or actors. Also, you can do it alone or with your family or friends. For example, me and my mother like Lady Gaga and when she is interviewed in any programme we watch it together and I think that is fantastic.  Secondly, you can listen to music in English from different singers from different countries to learn also the different English accents. In this way, you can also discover new singers and bands.  Finally, what...

"Dream jobs", by Ana Mª Mondéjar

Undoubletdly, the worst job for me would be my favourite job. Probably you're thinking it has not any sense but that's true. My favourite job and what I want to be when I finish my university degree is an English teacher in any high school. It would be fantastic, due to for me, it would be a dream come true. But let's imagine I'm filled of energy and illusion and I face a problem which I didn't count on: I'm not able to face a class full of teenagers due to several reasons. For example, as a young teacher, teenagers wouldn't take me seriously. That's a big deal. Apart from this, teenagers are very complicated people. I really don't know what I would act in that situation. That would be the worst nightmare for me, because I've wanted to be an English teacher since I was a kid.  Here, I show you a picture of what I've explained above.  Now, let's move on to the working conditions in around 70s. That's a very important to...
