Post 7 (week 11) >> Carrer-Related Website OR An Expert on your Field

British Council is a useful career-related website that I'm not using in my current job, but I used it a lot when I worked at school; Not only because it has available material for me as teacher, but it also contains a lot of exercises for students to practice at home and using the computer as a tool for learning english.
What's the difference with other  english websites? in my opinion here you have more than one option to achieve what you are looking for. For example, in other webpages you might find only fill in the blank activities, but here you have suitable tasks according to the different levels and proficiency. This webpage also has a friendly design, which makes easier for teachers and students to find what they need because the contents are organized into categories. Also, it is possible to develop different skills because you can find listening, reading, writing activities and some others of repetition.
I also used a lot of ideas specially games, that helped me to apply the contents in a meaningful and interesting way for students and of course they enjoyed them. 
I think it is important to use technological resources specially nowadays that most of the people have access to a computer and is something they are familiar with.

Post 6 (week 10) >> Themed/Free post 2 "My favourite Movie"

In this opportunity I'll talk about my favorite movie, and despite I love watching movies in my free time, I think that the one that I like the most is BIG FISH. It's kind of difficult for me try to find just one reason to explain why I like it so much, I love the way this story is presented and the characters are very particular. Among them you can find a witch, a giant, a werewolf and a very big fish in a lake. I love the way in which magic and reality are mixed, and above all I think that in a way the main character is very similar to my dad, and that makes it so special.
To tell the truth, I don't remember the first time I saw this movie, but I can tell you this: "this movie has the best ending I've ever seen" It's totally perfect for me, and I really recommend you to see it if you haven't yet. It has everything, action, romance, magic, tragedy and adventure.
In second place I like FIGHT CLUB, this one is completely different from Big Fish, but I totally love it too! and I think it is interesting to analyze through this movie the role of society, consumerism, behavior, and how we just reproduce a system without thinking if we feel happy or not about the way we are living. In a way I believe there is a Tyler Durden inside of each one of us, but of course we don't like to think about it.
In general I like different kinds of movies, because as the same as happens with music, there is a time for everything. Sometimes I want  to laugh with a comedy, or some others I like science fiction, etc. But there is one category I don't like at all, and this is horror movies, I'm not good at watching them because after I see them I just can't forget those scary characters or images that appear on the movie and I feel scary for a long time, that is why I prefer to avoid them. 
The most recent movie I saw was "Whiplash" about a young drummer, It is  an excellent movie... you should see it.
