Ivan Martin is a represent the music industry and he shows the bad part of the fame and power. Furthermore, Horsemouth is a hero because he gives money for poor people.

   My experience learning english at university divide in two parts: the last semester and this semester. In the last semester I had English class with other teacher, Jordan. And the experience was very bad, I don´t learn almost anything, because he don´t interest  about our learning. But, in this class I had many friends and we had a good time.

Outside the English class I use the english in many o

     When I think about the changes that the ICEI need, first I think in the workload of new curriculum map, because is very exhausting for the students. The new curriculum map consider course of journalism, course of film and journalism, course of language and elective of  basic formation. All this course are since six until twelve courses for semester and the consequences are very disastrous: crisis of panic, depression, crisis of anguish, suicide atemmpt and others mental diseases. It´s very horrible, I see many friends with episode the crisis of panic and other friends have depression. I feel tired and sad, the university don´t worry about this problems. The number of hours for psychiatrist and psychologist is absurd and the indifference from teachers, workers and students is too painful. In my personal case, I have crisis of panic since september 2016 and this attack control my life for weeks. I can´t went in metro , because the confinement under the ground and crowd cau
