The end of the course

After almost two weeks here in California, at the Fullerton University, the course of Academic Writing is ending and I have learned some interesting things in this course. And I have practiced some things that I already knew or had learned in the High School.

Some of the things that I learned was how to summarize, paraphrase, and quote the phrases, it will be useful. I also practiced a lot how to refferer to sources and do bibliographys. In this course I also practiced researching and learned a little more about how to do good research and use trust sources. Academic Writing will be useful in my future in works and in school too.

Summarize


With the release of a photo of Iron Man 3, there are rumors that Robert Downey Jr., the protagonist of the film, will be now a mutant. In this image of concept art that Marvel released appears an armored suit emerging from Downey's body. The movie will be in the theaters only in next May and until that this will continue a mystery.

A little about me

I am Brazilian High School student in Texas Tech University spending one month in California on a Study Vacation program to improve my English and learn a more about American culture. I intend to take this opportunity the best way I can because I know that this will be really helpful in the future when I get in college to be a designer. 
Before I go to the college I want to take one year of break from school to travel around the world and know different places, people, and cultures. If I go on this trip I will be more prepared to go to college because I want  to go to a college in the United States, and knowing this cultures can help me to relate better with the people all over the world that will be in the same college that me.
