How has your learning process in English III been with Lisette Lunar?
Over this semester I was able to learn several aspects of written English that I didn’t knew about before, such as some new vocabulary, writing techniques, the different types of paragraphs that can be used in texts, and to organize all the primal ideas to be express on a text before starting to write. Trough all I am very pleased to say that I feel an upgrade on my writing in English, which was a primal goal for me in this class. Do to the methods of teaching of my professor Lisette Lunar, I must say that it was a good experience to learn from her, because she is a talented professional and a very understanding person who can help you not only with your work in class but also with any doubts that you can have over the process. Now I feel more capable to express myself in English, and to write a more meaningful and coherent text in other tongue that’s not my native language.

Yelle and Zaho representative singers of the French music industry (narrative text)
Yelle, a combinated name between Yeah and Elle, is a French singer from a town called Saint-Brieuc located on Bretagne. She started to be recognized since she posted a song titled “Short Dick Cuizi" in her Myspace page. Months later she had the opportunity to sign a contract with the producer GrandMarnier, recording her debut album “Pop-up”. After her hit single “Je Veux Te Voir” she recorded a featured song with Fatal Bazooka called “Parle à ma main" witch has been an international success. Now days she’s opening Mika’s European tour and has been elected MTV’s artist of the month at UK and Latin America.
Zaho was born in Oran, Algeria. She grew up in Bab Ezzouar, a suburb of Alger, until she was 18 years old and her family decided to move to Montreal, Canada. Her music career started when she was little with her interest in music instruments such as guitars and drums. In 1999 she discovered the professional world of music and recording studios, and decided to follow a music career putting aside her studies. She has worked with notable names in the French industry such as Tunisiano, Idir, and Soprano. In 2008, she released her debut album titled Dima and has grown an incredible success among French and international fans.
Both singers are very different, including style and backgrounds, but still keep the similarities of singing in French and having a profound love and dedication towards music. These women are part of the new industry of music, promoting European talent and giving showing that underground talent can be a part of commercial music.

Describing a piece of Jacqueline Bissett's art work (descriptive text)
In this image we can see a clear example of a very good illustration work. The lines are conformed by vectors and none of them are out of context. The colors are simple, yet full of contrast, giving the art work a great definition and richness.
It represents a very fashion trendy looking girl, relaxing and having a good time lying down. Maybe she is posing for a photo shoot she’s having or she is working on a photo book for her career. Her clothes are made of animal print, her make up is very glamorous and gives her a deep stare, and her lips are very voluptuous and glossy, making her more attractive.
This illustration is a small part of Jacqueline Bissett’s art work. Most of her images are fashion oriented and have been published in many magazines and beauty products. The tendency of using plain but vibrant colors is her trade mark. Particularly I find this piece very beautiful and delicate; it exudes good vibes and makes me think about fashion editorials.
