artist and very poor, she also she thought that he lived in a garret where he painted
pictures and ate stale bread

wish that the gentle-mannered artist might share her tasty meal instead of eating his

him if he thought it was a good picture, he said that is not in good drawing because

he had to judge perspective at a glance

One day the costumer came in as usual and called for his stale loaves, while Miss
Martha was reaching for them there was a strange noise outside so the costumer

pressed the loaves tight again

drawing a plan for a new city hall. When he finishes, he rubs out the pencil lines with

Talking Point

Giving your opinion

I suppose that robots can't replace teachers because we always need the human
attention. However the robots can be useful to do some mechanical things like
correct practices and exams, but I don't think that he can also explain the same way
that a person

It is my opinion that in the future higher education could be better because

technology is coming to help the new generations. Although technology could be a
distraction if the professional finds the way it can be useful to make more
entertaining to the digital native

Expressing your reservations and counterarguments

Distance learning is the future of higher education

Possibly, but the problem is that in distance learning the student does not have the
face to face contact with other people so that they can generate isolated people.
However, in some subjects it might be useful to do so in the distance

In general, people think that change is good

That's probably true, but sometimes people can change in a bad way, for example,
they could be change looking for revenge. Therefore, not always a change it will be a
good thing

What are you like

Although I’m not good enough to be a self-confident person, I can be motivating a

job group

I am a multitasking person because I can perform different and varied tasks in my

job

I'm a little ambitious in my career, that's because I'm a multitasker and a decider
person. I can perform different and varied tasks and I had the ability to act and take
responsibility for the results. What's more, I'm an independent thinker because I can
contradict my boss decisions and make what is better for the company

I find it easy to be an empathetic person is why I can be a team player because I

have the ability to work nicely and effectively with others

My strengths are that I'm a multitasker, so I can do many things at the same time
from the other side, my weaknesses are that I'm not a relaxed person, so is usually
difficult to me stay in calm while I'm working

I'm a multitasker and that is useful in my future career like a journalist because I can
be doing different things at the same time and that helps me to work on the rhythm
that journalists has to work

Intelligence

In my future profession the linguistic intelligence is the more useful intelligence

because we need to use language to express and appreciate complex meanings. I
suppose that's logical-mathematical intelligence are not relevant for journalist
because the ability to calculate, quantify and carry out mathematical apprentice is
not needed for us

I don't think so, I would say that none had only one type of intelligence, it may be one
predominant, but it's always a mix of different type of intelligence

I think that when they said that somebody is very intelligent, they are talking about
logical-mathematical intelligence because that's the common thing that is considered
for intelligence. Most of the people think that to be intelligent you had to be good in
maths

In my area of Journalism I suppose that there are 3 types of intelligence that are
necessary. In the first place, Linguistic intelligence, in second place interpersonal
intelligence because we need to communicate in a verbal and nonverbal way and in
last place a interpersonal intelligence because we also have to have the capacity to
understand oneself and one's thoughts and feelings

Work Environments

It's my opinion that the individual-focused environment is the best work environments
because in that way the office respects their employees' own working styles, each
worker can decide to work from home or maybe have flexible hours. On the other
side, the worse work environment is the 9 to 5, because it is too much strict ant that
can restrict the creativity

I would say that the three best work environments are in the first place, the individual
focused environment, because each worker could respect their own working style, in
the second place, the non walls environment, because that promotes the group work
and in last place the mutual feedback because all the workers, and the bosses could
give, listen and act on mutual feedback

I suppose that the three worst work environment is, in the first place, the 9 to 5,
because it's too much strict in several ways, in second place the punitive
environment because penalizes failure or bad behavior, but didn't reward good
behavior and in the last place the class system because bosses can't be questioned
and employees must submit to whatever they're told

I suppose that the three worst work environment is, in the first place, the 9 to 5,
because it's too much strict in several ways, in second place the punitive
environment because penalizes failure or bad behavior, but doesn't reward good
behavior and in the last place the class system because bosses can't be questioned
and employees must submit to whatever they're told
