What I learned about UNIT 1?

In this unit we talked about New Perspectives. First, in class we socializated about a map in which we found some animals to describe different places of the world. In pairs we made a classwork, we answered some question such as: What is unusual about the way the map despicts the world? and What do you think the artist is trying to say with the ilustration?. Also, we read a converstaion between two collegues working temporarily in another country. The teacher told us we have to be careful with new expressions and new vocabulary. I had to explaint some new phrases like: "Am I ready to head home!", "I can´t get enough of this place", "I think I´ve had about enough", "I can´t get over How much I enjoy being here", "It´s a pain in the neck having to work so hard" and "There is no place like home". After that we checked the grammar about Gerunds and infinitives (changes in meaning); I learned that some verbs are followed by eigther a gerund or an infinitive with no change meaning for example: love, hate, can´t stand, like, prefer, begin, start, continue. However, some verbs change meaning, depending on whether they are followed by a gerund or an infinitive. In this unit, I learned to describe a person with some adjectives like: funny, optimistic, professional, etc. At the end of this unit we talked about a life-changing experience, then we made a writing with this topic. I write about getting a new job. I really enjoed this unit because the information I learned some time ago was useful to remember about this topic. In conclusion, I think that now I can talked about my past experiences with new vocabulary and uses new adjectives.
