//**Courses Expectations**//
My expectation from this English course is to understand the language because most of the books are written in English and it is a language that everybody knows a little so it’s very helpful. By the end of this trimester I expect to have practiced the language so I would be able to talk, listen and write English.

//**Personal Profile**//
My name is Valeria Cristina Ramos. I’m a student of Architecture at USB. I’m 18 years old. I graduated in 2009. It’s kind of repeated but I love puppies and kitties, my social labor was at APROA. I have a dog named Nala, I would have a cat, a bird, a rabbit and others but my mother doesn’t let me. I love candies and chocolate. I hate tomatoes. I enjoy sleeping. My favorite movies are Amelie, Fight club and Jeux d’enfants. I don’t have a favorite color, I like the rainbow. Of all the sports, my favorite is tennis but I don’t like to watch it on TV. I like different kinds of music, the last album downloaded on my computer is Waking Up from One Republic and this week I’ve been singing Sentimento pentimento from Neri per caso, I can’t get it out of my head. I would like to travel around the world and I would like to learn more about photography, if you can teach me let me know. So, that's me. media type="file" key="Sin título (5).wma" width="300" height="45"

DESCRIPTIVE PARAGRAPH



The image that I’m going to describe is seventh. In the image we see a store with a real big hamburger with cheese and lettuce on the roof. The roof has form of a base from a pyramid and it is red and green. Also the door is the same color red in the roof. The walls are of wood. The store has a sign “Old Fashioned Hamburgers”, with that and the giant hamburger on the roof it seems to be a food store. On the wall outside there is an announcement of what it looks like a price´s list. In the image there is one person inside the store, who is dressed in tones of blue. Next to the store is another construction in green, white and red, just like the Mexican flat. On the top, the sky is full of clouds.

COMPARISON vs

CAD and BIM are types of technology of computer that help in the process of design. Both are useful for architects and engineers. Perhaps they have so many differences. BIM is newer than CAD (BIM was created in 1987, and CAD in the 60’s). CAD is more associated with draft than BIM. Nowaday so many companies work with CAD but they are changing to BIM. WHY? Because BIM works faster than CAD. For example, Revit is a BIM program and AutoCad is a CAD program, with both we can do plants, elevations, 3d views… but Revit is an “intelligent” program that supposes things and makes your work easier: Doing a wall with 2 doors is an easy job, with Revit you do the plant and the program generates 3d view and elevation, in Autocad you have to do the work of an illustrator and do the 3d view and elevations. Both are great, but it all depends on your preferences.

**Definitions**
**E-zine**. The contraction of “electronic” and “magazine”. specialized term appropriately applied to small magazines and newsletters distributed by any electronic method, for example, by electronic mail (e-mail/email). Some social groups may use the terms cyberzine and hyperzine when referring to electronically distributed resources. Similarly, some online magazines may refer to themselves as "electronic magazines" to reflect their readership demographics, and more importantly to capture alternative terms and spellings in online searches. Many large print-publishers now provide digital reproduction of their print magazine titles through various online services for a fee. These service providers also refer to their collections of these digital format products as online magazines, and sometimes as digital magazines. Online magazines representing matters of interest to specialists in or societies for academic subjects, science, trade or industry are typically referred to as online journals.

A display is an output device for presentation of information for visual, tactile or auditive reception, acquired, stored, or transmitted in various forms. When the input information is supplied as an electrical signal, the display is called electronic display. Electronic displays are available for presentation of visual, tactile or auditive information. Tactile electronic displays (aka refreshable Braille display) are usually intended for the blind or visually impaired, they use electro-mechanical parts to dynamically update a tactile image (usually of text) so that the image may be felt by the fingers. Common applications for electronic visual displays are television sets or computer monitors.

In periodicals, display advertising can appear on the same page as, or on the page adjacent to, general editorial content. In contrast, classfied advertising generally appears in a distinct section, was traditionally text-only, and was available in a limited selection of typefaces. Display advertisements are not required to contain images, audio, or video: Textual advertisements are also used where text may be more appropriate or more effective. An example of textual advertisements is commercial messages sent to mobile device users, emails, etc. One common form of display advertising involves billboards.

It is not only because the Law would punish you, it is about moral, respect and integrity. If you are an artist you know how bad plagiarism is. ==
