Utility of Electronic tools in L1/L2

We use them to redact documents, to get information in seconds, to express our opinion without moving from our chair. All these things are possible to do; you just need a computer and internet access, which is the reason for the popularity of these tools. In this essay you are going to read: how I started using those tools, the usefulness of them to me and how they can be used in order to get information.

when I was younger I did not use electronic tools. I used to write all my assignments on pieces of paper and the only element to investigate that I had was a text book from the syllabus. My handwriting was terrible so teachers were always criticizing me; that was annoying, but then I arrived to the C.E.T.i.s 155 where my new teachers taught me how to use them. I would be technician on computing so I needed to learn how to use them. Once I started using them, I never stopped of using them.

About word processors, the most useful word processor for me without a doubt is “Word”, you can also try with “open office” but it is most difficult to use. A word processor is a good tool; it can help you a lot with assignments, homework and more. In my case, word processor helps me find synonyms and antonyms, to modify pictures and of course to redact. That word processor helps me to improve my vocabulary.

What about blogs, e-mails, pages and chats? We can use these resources in order to research about any topic! You can find out any information seen or asked in your classroom. Books will not be your only source now; you will not have limits to research. With these tools you can give your point of view, participate and even write in a blog your thoughts. I use them constantly to do my homework and assignments.

As a conclusion, electronic tools are essential: to formalize and give presentation to any assignment or to get information easily. If you know how to use them, you can get many advantages like doing your homework easier. To get information from blogs, chat rooms, web-cites and e-mails even videos are always good options. You can arrange your information in a word processor and that is all, your assignment will be presentable enough.

Introductory essay

The purpose of writing this essay is to introduce myself. If you are looking for information about me, you will find it here. On this essay you will find: my complete name, my age, my personality, my likes and dislikes, my hobbies, some memories and objectives. I hope this essay help you to know me better.

My name is Mayra Gpe Razo M. Del Campo. I am nineteen years old. I was born in Aguascalientes, México. Life in this place is very comfortable and calm. My personality is soft, I do not like to get in fights, i just want to get some fun. I try to be responsible in everything that I do. I like to draw in Photoshop, flash and videogames are always good options too. I do not like nosy people and sunny days.

Some positive experiences that changed my life were for example: my high school, my actual boyfriend, and my friends. My high school friends and boyfriend changed my way of thinking because I thought that all people were bad and crazy because of the junior high school memories, but now it is very different. I decided to study “Human languages” because I am not able to understand computer languages such as C++, pascal, etc.

The objectives that I will achieve in 5 years are for example: I will finish the B.A. in ELT from the “Univesidad Autonoma de Aguascalientes”, I will get married and I will get a job in the cetis 155 or in the secondary number 3, maybe I will learn another language. And about long term goals maybe become a mother and keep working on a secondary or on a high school.

The purpose of writing this essay was to introduce myself, for other people to know me better. Most of what I do or how I think is written here: The important aspects that changed my mind, objectives, short-term goals and long-term goals (five to ten years) who am I? Where do I come from? All this is written here.
