UNIT 3. The Bold and the Bashful.





HI EVERYONE!

This time I share a glossary of words that we rarely use and that we may not know in Spanish. It is important to know the meaning of the words instead of translating them into Spanish. This will help us expand our vocabulary in different topics:

BOLD

adjective
Bold is defined as free in behavior, or prominent.
a.     A person who is not afraid to speak up for what he believes, even to people with more power than him, is an example of someone who is bold.
b.     A child who is too confident and arrogant as a result of being spoiled is an example of a child who is overly bold.
c.      A strong, deep rich red color is an example of a bold color.
d.     When you have certain letters thicker than others, this is an example of bold.

BASHFUL
Bashful means shy or timid. You might feel bashful when meeting a famous actress, a high-ranking government official, or just someone whom you find really good-looking.
Bashful and shy are similar in meaning, but not quite identical. Bashful often describes people who are shy but friendly. In fact, being bashful is sometimes seen as an endearing quality. So, you probably wouldn't use bashful to describe a quiet, reserved coworker with whom you have little contact; shy would be a better fit. However, bashful is a perfect description for your good friend who unfortunately becomes tongue-tied whenever she tries to talk to strangers.

Definition of reticent
1: inclined to be silent or uncommunicative in speech: RESERVED
2: restrained in expression, presentation, or appearance the room has an aspect of reticent dignity— A. N. Whitehead

HANDICAP

noun
UK 
 /ˈhæn.dɪ.kæp/ US 
 /ˈhæn.dɪ.kæp/
Handicap noun (CONDITION)

[ C or U ] old-fashioned
a condition in which part of your body or mind has been permanently damaged or does not work normally. This word is now considered offensive by many people, who prefer the word disability:
a physical handicap
In cases of severe mental handicap, constant supervision is recommended.

Unir 1  The internet and others addictions Justt like Bill, i think there are lots of people having this kind of addictions. I can tell You My own experience because i' ve been there before, i know how it feels not to use the internet when you were used to. The sintoms could be almost the same as when you are depressed. You feel sad, alone, you don't want to eat, etc.  I asked some people what do they feel when they don't have data or internet and these were dime answerss: Rubí: I feel bored, i never know what to do.  Nairobi: I don't feel sad. For me it is the same thing to have it ir not. Elizabeth: I can't solve My everyday problems. The worse thing is when you don't have data nor money.

After i did that, i could do some personal dilligencies and i got more money.  As we can see, people are becoming involved, and t...

The Internet and the other addiction

The internet addiction.       Fist of all, for me the internet is a new technology that has impacted the world and provided many benefits of its users. At the same time internet has had a negative impacts, some people are becoming preoccupied with the internet, are incapable to control their use. The internet has becoming a incontrolable addiction it can damage your family, work and you relationship. Some people think that internet addiction it isn’t real but for me it’s,  I often see how the families are destroyed due to this addiction because the husband is passing hours seeing pornography or the wife chat-room lovers,  also, people are loosing their life savings on gambling web sites online. In my opinion we needs to be careful in how we use the internet and for, because believe or not the internet can be a headache in your life or a benefit; it going to depend  on how you use and manage  it.

Unit 6 - Spiritual Renewal All around the world we can find many people that practice different ritual. We have different religions and each person go to their favorite or just the one they feel comfortable with. In this unit, called “spiritual renewal” we analyzed  the different rituals that some people practice. The one that call my attention the most was “fasting” which is a practice made in different religions. Fasting is when someone decided to stop eating for a specific time with a purpose. Most of the reasons are spirituals. I think this is a beautiful practice that people decide to do. I have never done it but it I could I would. I really like the spiritual practice, it just get ourselves more relax, and algo help us to get closer to God. I think everybody should have their own spiritual practice  in order to get closer to each of us. It is amazing when many people from an specific church get together to create an spiritual environment.
