My english experiences

This audio is about the life of Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla.  In this audio I used present simple and past simple. I think Elon has a very busy life, because he is the CEO of 2 companys, and isn't easy to coordinate both at the same time. Nowadays he try to mix both, because Tesla needs technology to storage energy, and Solar City have the answer.  Here is my audio: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6yNV_e7lJIWTmNDWHFzdVQyRUE/view?usp=sharing

This is my video talking about my Remedial IV course, I think it was very challenging for me, because we needed to record videos and voice, and I feel very nervous when I record myself.  https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6yNV_e7lJIWQmtaRU0zZXNfSzA/view?usp=sharing Interesting sites to visit:  http://www.sas.upenn.edu/onlinelearning/ https://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/es http://www.ef.com.mx/recursos-aprender-ingles/gramatica-inglesa/simple-present/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fqch5OrUPvA https://es.coursera.org/learn/wharton-launching-startup

This entry is about the mistakes I did in my email, and why i was doing that.  I did a lot of mistakes, in the first part i wrote "Writting" instead "writing". I used a wrong word in "properly", I can change to "properly" and it will be ok. Other mistake was trying to translate expressions from spanish, because often they don't have coherence in english. The most difficult part was say things in a polite way, but trying to go straigth to the point. In grammar I did a mistake with "another", because I was talking about activities (plural), and another is for singular. 

Job Interview:  In this activity I am in a job interview 5 years after I graduated. I feel comfortable, but I was a little bit nervous. I practiced a little bit with my friends things like body language, and always have eve contact, because things like that makes a big difference when the recruiter need to take a decision.  I know that this is very important, because in some years I will be applying for jobs, and usually interviews are in english.  Here are my audios! original: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6yNV_e7lJIWRXJlMzVQbEpqaGM/view?usp=sharing Improved: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6yNV_e7lJIWMjZoTFpRbGlSd1k/view?usp=sharing

In this activity i recorded a video of how to do a business plan. As you can see, is not easy to do a business plan. I learned a lot, because i did not know how to make figures, and I became aware of the importance of make market research before launching a new product, and I learned a lot of new vocabulary to talk about  business. I learned how to use some interesting tools like google forms, is really useful when you need to do a survey. 

I am Raúl Rodríguez Gutiérrez and right now I am coursing my second semester of Mechatronics Engineering. My learning goals are be able to speak better in a business environment, be able to write business emails and improve my vocabulary range. I think english is so important for business environment because someone in every part of the world can speak english, so is really easy to communicate with people. In this blog You will find some of the activities I did on my course with my reflections. I hope they can be useful for you. Welcome to my E-Portfolio!
