    Dear Earthlings from FCQF!

No. Linguistics and Literary Studies are not going to save us from any natural force or danger. Linguistics is a science of language and only committed to describing it. Literary Studies only represents, nowadays, intellectual escapism and nothing else, unfortunately.  The

  Dear Earthlings from FCQF! Write about a photograph you like. Say: Who took it What it shows When it was taken Why you like it Upload it too Include any other information you'd like to mention. Write at least  150 words. Add comments to your teacher  + 3 partners   As usual, I leave you with a sample entry, This is the photo I chose that I really like. If you ask me I really do not know who took it, it probably was taken from a professional photographer, since it is a promotional image for the Japanese trio “Shonen Knife”. The photo basically shows the band image, which consisted of Naoko Yamano (vocalist, centre), Atsuko Yamano (Drummer, left) and Michie Nakatani (bassist, right) I do not know when the photo was taken, but, by judging the band appearance, it seems to be it was taken sometime around 1990.  I really like this photo as I already told you, because this band is a blast, a really cool rock and roll band. It derives from the punk movement in the US, particularly, from

  Warm Salutations, Earthlings from FCQF! In this week, you are expected to write about,   - what is it? (describe it)   - how is it made?   - why do you like it so much?   - how does it impact your health?   - upload pictures (optional)    >  word count: 140 words    > don't forget to leave comments on  3 of your classmates' posts  and on  your teacher's post as well.   As usual, I leave a sample post for you to make fun of or to take as a starting point for your own written work,   It is rather difficult for me to describe a specific meal or piece of food that I really like since I love all types and flavours. I would say that this activity does not make a single ounce of justice to all my taste spectrum. Ok, there you have it, only this time I would say that I really like a delicious avocado and tuna sandwich. There you are! There is no much else to tell you about such a simple and neat design of a meal. It is only a touch of avocado and tuna fish between two slice

  Write about your favourite piece of technology Warm salutations, Earthlings from FCQF! This time you are absolutely entitled to write about a piece of tech material you think is very important. Some of the parameters to follow may come below:  Say:  What it is. When you got it. How you use it. How often you use it. Why you like it. What life would be like without it?  Would you recommend using it? -  140 words minimum. -  don't forget to leave comments on  3 of your classmates' posts  and on  your teacher's post as well.   As usual, I leave my sample entry for you to take as a writing model -if you want to, of course- My favourite piece of technology is paper. No, I am not crazy, and I do not want to pull your leg. It is for real. Paper has almost always been there for us, I mean, ‘us’ as humanity. So, concerning my lifetime, I have been dealing with paper my whole life. Paper has multiple functionalities, so there would be a little difficult for me to name them all. For

  Warm Salutations, Earthlings from FCQF In this week, you are expected to write about,   - your dream jobs when you were a child   - other career options that you had at the moment of applying to university   - what made you decide on this major?   - your experience at the university until now      > word count:  130 words    >  don't forget to leave comments on  3 of your classmates' posts  and on  your teacher's post as well.     As usual, I leave a sample post for you to make fun of or to take as a starting point for your own written work,   Since I was a  child,  I did not think about getting a job or dreaming –daydreaming, perhaps- about getting a job. I did not contemplate the idea of an ideal job because it simply did not exist in my childish world. I was really into video games, soccer, and cycling. Now, that I think of it, I never imagined myself making money out of playing video games or playing soccer. I thought they were only hobbies to spend my time on.
