Welcome to my blog!馃専

     Welcome to my blog! My name is Marina and I've created this website for an English project, in which I am asked to make posts twice a month about any topic I like. After thinking for some time, and as there were many things that I would like to write about in here and I was having some trouble at deciding for a theme, I finally came up with an idea: why not be random?  

    It's my own website, right? I consider it a little window where others can look at my inner self, an opportunity to express my thoughts, anecdotes, hobbies, recipes and much more. 

    I hope you enjoy my varied content, and please feel free to share your opinions in the comments! 馃挅

All you need to know about infographics (+ their recipe)

If students were asked by their teacher about the definition of "infographic", they normally wouldn't need much time to come up with a straightforward answer (of course, after getting over the confusion of hearing such an unusual request). A student chosen at random could answer: "they are graphics which contain information". And it is true, partly...  But it is so much more than that. I mean, there is a whole Wikipedia article about it.  Welcome to the entry of your dreams, the most exciting, breathtaking and appealing (yes, all at once) piece of information you may ever find: an entry about everyone's favourite kind of chart, the infographic.  First of all, I am sure that you cannot wait to read the standard dictionary definition:  a visual representation of information or data, e.g. as a chart or diagram.  Others may explain, in different words, a similar thing: " a collection of imagery, charts, and minimal text that gives an e asy-to-understand ove

Doctors of the soul

W hen students are asked by adults about what they plan to study after finishing high school, they can sometimes receive looks of disappointment (or even disapproval) if their answer is: "I want to study a degree related to one of the arts!" These adults maybe consider that, by going for a career that involves being in touch with the  application of human creative skill and imagination  (for example, visual arts like painting, or literary and performing arts) you can be less intelligent than a Physics student, or that you are making a bad use of your potential.  In our society, it is more valued to be useful at improving technology and/or our economy by being an entrepreneur than to communicate with people through beauty - and this is because only a few people believe that this last job is profitable. But, why should it be that way? Why should an artist be less respected than a doctor? Nevertheless, through the past quarantine because of COVID-19, I sa

Top 10 composers that (I believe) everyone should listen to

       I salute you, fellow readers of this arbitrary webpage! It's been a while! For today's post, I'm bringing a new and totally different topic to talk about: classical music . I'm aware that a huge majority of people do not like listening to it, mostly because they have made wrong judgements about this wide musical genre, or because their ears just have a different musical taste,  or because they have heard from others that it's boring and just adopted that opinion without making one for themselves - however, I'm not going to be defending classical music in this post. Instead of showing its highlights and presenting a thesis on how it contains so many genres from all around Europe that you could never get bored of it or find it monotonous,  I'm just going to give you my top 10 composers. However, as I like all of them (and more!) that I won't be showing, the list will be arranged according to who I currently listen more to.  I love classical music,
