Felipe’s cartoons, TV and video games



The last presentation was made by my classmate Felipe. He chose to talk about Cartoons, TV and Video Games. The topic was quite interesting and very original. Felipe spoke about how we can get students close to use massive aids such as TV or Video Games.
He gave us some examples, first, about some TV programs that do not change their original names here in LatinAmerica, for example, Prision Break, Lost, Friends, etc.

Then he spoke about some cartoon called Pokemon. In this TV show there are some animals, that have some names hidden in English, or compound, for example, seahorse (caballo de mar), ekans (snake), etc.
Finally, he showed some Video Games, in which the names aren’t changed either and that all students know very well.


The idea of this topic, as Felipe explained, is to show that students who use English of many ways, and that English is a way of communication used in different aids.
Felipe’s performance was quite good, you could tell that he managed the topic well, but as a detail, Felipe moves too much all the tome, and he sometimes generates a little bit of lost of concentration.
But the topic was really interesting.

Thanks Felipe!!!
