Example:

The man in the picture is Noam Chomsky, He is a very well known and widely respected Language Scientist. He is american and all his life, he has done research in the areas of Grammar and Language Development among others.
At the core of his theory there is the thought that the structures of language are not mere ordering of words in that there are principles underlying the structrure of languge biologically determined in the mind and he thinks they are, therefore, genetically transmitted, in other words, since we come to life as humans, we come with the capability for language development.
He changed my perspectives of why people learn a language, of how people learn it and how can that proces be reproduced in further stages of life such as "learning" a laguange as an adult or as he says, "acquiring" a foreign language in later stages and contexts of a lifetime.
He is considered the Father of Modern Linguistics and because of his extensive research, many new methodologies to language study, and also many new areas have opened up, an example is the applications of his language theory into Neuroscience and IT, and even today he keeps on opening up new ares of thought mixing his theories with Discourse and particularly Public Discourse Critical Analysis, and needless say, he is a must-study for every linguistics or language-related-area-student.

    In the field of grammar and lenguage there is much more to learn than I think. There's a whole world.

    The world needs more people like Chomsky, that spend a life trying to understand between us (human civilization)

    I think it's great that an English teacher has such a vocation in the language. It makes me grateful.

    Personally, I found this topic fascinating. Once, i heard that in a village of Islas Canarias, the people live far from each other, so they communicate through whistles, they have dozens kinds of it.

For some time I had been quite disconnected from all society, I had already spent 6 months without a mobile.

Time went by and some day I had an urgency, I had to hand in a very, very importan document, but with the rush, I left it over my desk at home, and the only way to get it was to call my...

Add comments to at least 3 of your classmates’ blogs The story of a picture This might look a bit naive but , let me tell you, it is alcohol!, it was taken at a pub in Paris, in a bar across from Place Vendome. I was with friends and we wanted to see the non-romantic and alternative side of the city. This picture is a portrait of the memories I have from my best holiday ever, and even though I haven’t had many superb holidays, because most of time I prefer visiting my family more than anything else, I have had some memorable ones.

Anyway, to make a long story short, I dropped by the place I used to work for an...
