reflection

La correcta utilizacion de los diferentes tiempos del verbo es uno de los puntos que considero claves para escribir y comprender el idioma con más facilidad. Para que una oración sea correcta gramaticalmente hay que procurar tener en cuenta detalles q aunque parecen obvios se olvidan con facilidad. Por esa razon, escogi este par de ejercicios para practicar esta parte y aunque parecen sencillos son oraciones que permiten manejar la conjugaciond elos verbos en forma activa, pasiva y para los diferentes sujetos.
Considero asi, que la practica de las estructuras basicas permiten ir añadiendo complementos que más adelante formaran textos complejos.

Multiple Intelligences

Según los resultados del test de Inteligencias múltiples, existe una notable diferencia entre el porcentaje, cantidad o como deba llamársele al distinto uso que hago de mis capacidades intelectuales.

Apoyándome más en el componente lingüístico y Cinético, hay otras areas como la parte lógica y musical que muestran puntajes algo limitados. A pesar de reconocer un fuerte componente intra personal, la relación con las personas y ambientes externos muestra un nivel significativo.
