Alexandra, here is your feedback!

Hello guys! today I will write about a book that I'm reading at the moment. It is called "Foundations of play therapy". It is written by Charles E. Schaefer and It is a (WF) academics genre. I really enjoy it, because I'm not reading it for a test or for any university course. I'm reading it for pleasure, and besides, this book shows many clinical and educational tools for the Child and Youth Psychotherapy. The author write (T) about the importance of the play, because "the play is the Child's language and toys are the Child's words". In effect, play therapy is the natural way for (?) to  express their feelings and problems, and that is the reason why the play therapy have (T) an impact on the emotional regulation process, self-esteem, child efficacy and social integration. In addition, the play is a very good tool for the clinical evaluation.  It's a really good book, especially for psychologist and parents. 

Unfortunately, at the end of every semester, I don't have too much free time for my personal activities, so I have (WW) only read this book a while before I go to sleep. I have to admit that this while it is a very short time, because I fall asleep almost instantly. Therefore, I hope I can read more after the end of the academic year.

Henri Matisse

    

Hi! Well I know I said I would write about cats, but I change my opinion. Today I’m going to talk about art, specifically about a painter that I love: Matisse. Henri Émile Benoît Matisse was an important French painter. He used the color like no other! He was one of the principal represents of Fauvism, a pictorial movement characterized by the use of strong colors, not necessarily inspired on the reality.

My mom is a painter too, so I grow up between canvas, paint, paint brush and books of art. That’s why for me art is so important and I decided write about it. I love Matisse because I think he painted the beautiful and essential of the nature. Even he said: “A work of art must be harmonious in its entirety: any superfluous detail would replace some other essential detail in the mind of the spectator”. So the nature is the inspiration, but good art is not about doing a copy of nature, we have to put something of us in our productions.

I think Matisse do this in an exceptional way! Saving the best of the nature and mixing it with their own sensing. Added to this, he had a natural ability for proportions and to do a fluid line even when he wasn’t yet a professional painter. Well to be precise, he was also sculptor, draftsman, and in their last years because of his sickness he couldn’t paint so he did amazing collage.

   

My performance

Well I’m satisfied about my performance but obviously could improve. The area of reading was my best, I delay more than I want but I almost didn’t fail. The area of listening was more difficult for me, because the exercise had a little trick! Like said all of the possibilities but only choose one. So I have to be very attentive. But definitely my worst area was the vocabulary. There were a lot of words than I didn’t know, and I fail a lots. Please tell me how I can improve!
