Okay, there are new assignments : collecting phrases that we are not comfortable with in order to improve again and again our English skills.
So, I've decided to build on my own database using my webdeloper skills (PHP / MySQL). Due to the lack of spare time, I only create something really basic. You can find my list here : http://ah.pandaco.net/s2.english
Based on this database, I wrote the following text (254 words) :
Hello, today I’m going to talk about Linus Benedict Torvalds, the creator of Linux which is, as you know, a free operating system. According to me, we are all concerned about this subject since we do computer training.
So, let’s start. Linus was born on the 28th December 1969 in Finland. He created an operating system for his personal computer. Some people were impressed by his initiative and helped him in this development. The first version of Linux was released in 1992 with no detected bugs. Now, there are lots of Linux distributions like Redhat, Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu...
As for me, I constantlythink much of this operating system, which is flawless to me. I always keep myself posted on new releases. It doesn’t take long for me to realize that if I applied for a job, it would be in computing field. I'll plan to establish a career in an important company, like Opera Software. As a regular member of its website, I took a look at their job applications and found a summer internship with an interesting work schedule.
I would be grateful for the opportunity to work with them. I’m well organized, and I enjoy working in a team environment. However, my background and skills are still insufficient, that’s why in order to equip myself to be a suitable candidate for this, I’ve practiced a lot. I remain acutely motivated because I think I could learn a great deal about programming and network security during the internship.
Finally, I chose another video because there is already a transcript of Johnny Lee's conference on the Web. Doh ! The new one is about tracking fingers with the Nintendo Wii remote. Yes, it's Johnny Lee again, hehe !
You can find here in this post the transcript. It was a little bit difficult because there's lots of technical words. But this video is really interesting !
Aloha means family ! "Stitch don’t bite !" -> "Stitch doesn’t bite !" "a lot of post" -> "a lot of posts" "I Hope you enjoy my blog" -> "I hope you enjoy my blog"
