Post 7: a carreer-related website / an expert on your field

Dear Students



This week you have to write about a career-related website that you enjoy visiting: 
1. Provide the link 
2. Describe the website (sections, features, etc) 
3. Say how often you visit the site 
4. Explain why you like the site


BUT if you don't have or know a website related with your future career you can write about an expert/a person on your field that you admire
You have to mention:
1. Who this person is (short biography)
2. What this person has done (examples of his/her work)
3. Include his/her image

WORDCOUNT: 170 WORDS
Make comments on 3 of your classmates' post + your teacher


Thinking of a specific career related website is difficult for me because I visit many nowadays; but I remember when I just started to work as a teacher I had one it was my favorite: www.mes-english.com. Even though it is neither an appealing nor a relatable name for an English teacher’s website for me it was like a first time teacher’s paradise. 
This website has flashcards, PPTs, worksheets, games, etc. and the thing that I liked the most; the site allows you to use its images and formats to create your own brand new material!!! I modified a lot of PPTs and create tons of wordrsearches, crosswords, spelling readings and vocabulary handouts; all of them including visual aid, of course!!!
I was so happy because I was able to put in practice all the ideas that I had in mind on attractive teaching material. I have admit that not all the material created by me worked 100% well but that wasn’t an issue because I had the chance of improving it for the next course.
Currently, a website that I use quite often is www.wordreference.com, which is one the best online dictionaries, it is also available as an APP so you can carry it with you 24/7. Apart from getting a word translation you can know and understand its meaning in context and most of the times also listen to its pronunciation with several accents, for me that is simply awesome!!!
