Hello everyone!
I hope you are having a wonderful time and are ready to get back to class work next Saturday. Better late than never, here I am with the links I mentioned during our last class which I highly recommend you listen.
The first link takes you to the video of Steve Jobs' speech at Stanford University. Listen and make a list of the key events Jobs mentions and describe in a few lines your own point of view about what he says.

Now, let's talk about writing a cause-effect essay. Having a clear idea of what a cause-effect essay is and how it should be organized are basic steps to get your work started. Besides providing you with the links to videos with information about this process, here are a couple of links with explanations that you might find helpful, try:

See you on Saturday!
I enjoyed the Steve Jobs speech, is very interesting and show us some profound lessons. What his experience teached him is that you need to have faith despite all the adversities, because everything that happens to you have a reason and forms part of a logical pattern.
ReplyDeleteHe said that we need to realize that this life is short and under that perspective we need to get rid of our fears and start to search what we really want to achieve and work for it!
Thanks for your comment Rafael, your points of view are very interesting!
ReplyDeleteSteve Job´s speech is motivating, I felt full of energy in the end, and I can make a consciousness test about my latest decisions, I invest a lot of time worry about the future, but who can ensure that I am going to live tomorrow? each moment in our life should be enjoyed.
ReplyDeleteYou've got it!
