2. Write the tips to write a script. Explain. It must be Minimum 5 lines.

10p.
Keep the Main Plot Simple
Complicating your plot structure is not the place to start when you want to
make your script engaging.
Write a Character to Root For (or Against)
Whether you’re asking audiences to watch a short sitcom pilot or a full-length
film, you want them to be engaged in your protagonist’s journey. They do not
always have to be extremely likable, but they do have to be interesting. In fact,
character flaws can add a touch more reality and make audiences empathize.
Make It Visual
Scripts stand apart from prose because they allow the audience to see the
story as it’s happening.
Trust Your Actors
If the casting process goes well, you’ll have a team of talented actors to bring
your script to life.
Stick to the Page Limit
It’s difficult to engage an audience with a very long script.
Avoid Chunks of Dialogue and Action
Scan your script. Do you see any sections that take up large parts of the
page? Long chunks of dialogue and action run the risk of boring your
audience.
Do Your Research
When you decide what kind of script you want to write, research it. If you want
to write shows about the police, then study police procedures.
Write on a Schedule
Some writers prefer early-morning sessions; others like to stay up late to write.
Become an Avid Viewer
If you want to write movies, you need to watch them.
Read as Many Scripts as You Can
Great novel writers are great novel readers. That doesn’t mean screenwriters
and playwrights are off the hook! Read script after script to learn what works
and what doesn’t.
Never Stop Revising
You need to revise, revise, and revise. This is key to improving your show.
Rewrite and proofread, making sure every word counts. You may want to join
a screenwriting or playwriting group that proofreads and critiques each others'
work.

a Exposition: Characters and setting are established and the conflict, or

their lives.

4.What was the most important things that you learned in this subject?
What were the new things? Describe It must be Minimun 6 lines in total
10p.
When I entered university, I already had an average level of English that I had
learned on my own, usually by watching television, movies and listening to
music, also reinforced by the classes I had taken in middle and high school.

Although he already had the basics of the language, he was still not able to
speak English fluently, much less start a conversation. I could understand
everything a person said to me but I couldn't respond coherently in English.

It was in this subject where I began to work with my pronunciation and to

formulate sentences on my own, things that I have been able to put into
practice by having conversations with people who only speak English. In
general, I leave with a better level than the one I started with and hopefully the
learning I acquired will be permanent.

5. Differences between resume and C.V 10p.

a It usually includes tables and graphs.
b It has a formal language.
c It is written in third person.
d It is based on verifiable information.
e It has future recommendations for future actions.

7. Do you think a good writer is innate or is a skill? Explain 10p.

I definitely think that anyone can learn and improve the skill of writing by
practicing and taking notes of what is good and bad, all of this is possible by
reading and analyzing other works from many different authors that have
written more and therefore have plenty of more experience. So, I personally
don't think you have to be born with this skill to be a writer, anyone can have
an interest about it and research more to improve.
