TASK 3 (VIDEO ACTIVITY) The Meaning behind the words.


I have seen the video and i have learned that depending the handwriting you have a different personality.
For example, if you have a big letter means large ego and if you letter is small means small ego, if you write far apart means loneliness and if it is close together means always surrounded.
Also, if the handwriting is thick and dark means aggravation or frustation, if it is light and wispy could mean displeasure and if it is constant and even means happiness and flexibility.
The direction of the letters (backwards slant of forward slant) would means if you are expressive.
In the video there are example of people and about their handwriting the video speak of their personality.

I'll never forget when...

I always remember the day that Unicaja Malaga won the ACB. This season the Unicaja was very strong, and when the playoffs started, they showed. The final was against TAU Victoria and it was the best of five games. The last game was in Victoria, and I went with my brother to watch it on a big screen in the Malaga center. It was amazing to see Berni Rodriguez lift the league cup. Many people were wearing green and we went to source to celebrate it. It was a moment that i will never forget.
