My Joke
The programmer and the genie
A programmer is walking along a beach and finds a lamp. He rubs the lamp, and a genie appears. “I am the most powerful genie in the world. I can grant you any wish, but only one wish.”
The programmer pulls out a map, points to it and says, “I’d want peace in the Middle East.”
The genie responds, “Gee, I don’t know. Those people have been fighting for millennia. I can do just about anything, but this is likely beyond my limits.”
The programmer then says, “Well, I am a programmer, and my programs have lots of users. Please make all my users satisfied with my software and let them ask for sensible changes.”
At which point the genie responds, “Um, let me see that map again.”

Importance of English in my future career
I have learned from this course more about grammar
and I have improved my abilities to read and to listen, also my vocabulary has
improved and in addition to this I have developed self-trust speaking in front
of others and this has helped me to make very good friendships with my
classmates.
My progress along this course has been very
good but not enough to approve the partials exams. I don’t understand the
reason of this because before starting this semester, English was not an
obstacle for me, it might be because I was stressed this especially because the
value of this subject would be reflected in my grade book.
I have to admit, I didn’t make my best in
the first partial exam and I failed. But I made a best effort on the second
partial exam. I was stressed taking the TOEFL exam, for me the most difficult
section was reading. I have learned that to obtain better results on the TOEFL
exam it does not require only studying but also having self-trust.
What I heated most was to read historical
articles. I really love to read about technology, but I know I can improve my
skills reading more about different subjects.
The skills I learned in this course helped
me to be prepared to take the TOEFL exam.
I am on the second part of my career, my
career requires English skills. I will continue studying English because it is
fundamental to develop international business and also to obtain global
knowledge.
One night I had a nightmare, in this dream I
was by myself surrounded by strangers, they only spoke English but this wasn’t
an obstacle to communicate with them because with my basic English skills was
almost enough to communicate with them. I know I will learn the necessary
skills to succeed in this situations.
To know English is a very important tool
today, I can take advantage from the information of my interests that can be
founded in English on the internet.
In the future I would like to work at
Google Corp., they have the best job offer for Technologic Engineers. But that
requires a good English level.
For my career is necessary to know English,
most of the software the engineers develop is in English. That is an enough reason to keep learning
this language.
I want to end with something for my
classmates: I have to say that I had never been so open with classmates, I had
a good time with you I just want to say that I will miss you and I don´t want
you to have this course any more. Thank You For Being My Friends.
To finish, I want to say this words to my
classmates: ‘’ I had never been so open hearted with other classmates. I have
had a good time getting to know you, I will miss you. I hope to obtain good
grades and not to have to take this class again. Thank You for being my
friends.
