"Seeing comes before words"


Every person is unique. So that means that what every person see is unique too.

The way we see things are affected by our different experiences and ours believes. That is why if two different people are in front of a painting, they may see it in a totally different way. Sometimes with a painting we can share some one else experience or feelings. Sometimes words can’t express what a painting can.


With the invention of the camera, the way of seeing change. Paintings, images, pictures etc. were no longer unique; copies of them appeared all over the world. There was no need for the person to move to see the painting. The painting moves to the person.

For me, this chapter was significant, because it showed me that even though we are pretty similar to each other, at the same time we are really different.

Chio my darling,

I think it was a very good summary of the chapter. Nonetheless, the conclusion was a bit short and obvious. You should work on that later.

Regarding grammar, there were some mistakes. For instance you wrote

"The way we see things are affected"

Be careful, it's "the way is..."

"ours believes" or "our believes"? I believe that this was a typing mistake, wasn't it?

Instead of "some one else experience", I would say "someone else's experience"

There are more mistakes regarding to grammar, which I'll tell you about after class, but as we're running out of time, I can not continue correcting you

Love ya'!!!

Hi Rocío,
I like the way you start your summary. The fact that your first remark is that "every person is unique" makes it clear that you have got your own viewpoint.

Also, you´ve managed to capture the essence of the text and you finish with a significant conclusion which will probably impact your teaching.
Well done!
Claudia

I liked your presentation because it was different and funny. When you were showing the pictures and explaining your point of view about the book which you read, I think the idea that you wanted to express was understood clearly.
You did a good work!
Congratulations!
