First class of grammar review

In this post I will describe a couple of things we learned from grammar in English the last class, with a book that Catherine shared with us.
In class we have done some exercises with the book: English for aircraft. We started with part 1 of the book that explains the order of the words, since in English the keyword you want to describe is at the end of the sentence. For example: air used to cool hot air is: cooling air. We have also learned that the position of the object that we are going to describe goes to the beginning of the sentence. For example: inner marker light. 
Another topic that we have learned during classes with the English book are words that indicate position such as: in, on, in to, along... And how to use these words correctly like "Insert the engine into the casing" or "the cabin lights run along the ceiling". All these words, I already knew them before but it could be that I wasn't as clear as using them.
It may be that my mistake when trying to translate a phrase, I was looking for more than the phrases sounded good, as if I had heard it before and didn't think about the proper method that follows the grammar. I also previously translated the phrase literally in case it didn't sound to me at all. 
In conclusion, I have learned to be more methodical about the formation of phrases that describe an object and we have reviewed the words that are used to position objects.

Racing drones

A Drone is a flying device controlled remotely by a person or a program to develop many types of functions. There are many types of drones but my favorites are the racing drones. These devices are controlled by people who use a control with two joysticks and glasses where you can see in real time what is in front of the drone. Be careful if you are a person with vertigo or fear of speed. The device is normally built by four high performance electric motors that provide support and addressability to the device; a battery that gives electrical energy; a camera that allows you to control the drone as if you were inside and some circuits that control the motors and send the video signal to the glasses. There are a variety of forms of these devices: with more engines, with steerable propellers or even amphibious water-air. They are devices that don't allow a great time of flight, but can reach speeds of up to 130 kilometers per hour. Their flight range doesn't reach a kilometer aw...

Sushi and bad weather

This week, my in-laws they planned to come a few days to visit Mallorca and be with my girlfriend and me. Due to weather forecasts, they changed the day of arrival and advanced the trip a few days. From what they said on the news, it was going to rain a lot this week and the wind was going to blow very hard. These days we went to eat at two restaurants. The burguer Doze, is a small restaurant in Llucmajor that makes a very good burgers at a good price; or to kiyomi sushi, which is a Japanese food restaurant that has a menu where you can choose everything you want with a fixed price. The sushi is of very good quality and the entrees are very good. My in-laws left to Menorca a day before the storm began. This storm was announced well in advance, as it could cause a lot of damage to coastal areas and flood areas. Finally there have been waves up to 14 meters high and winds of up to 120 kilometers per hour. It has been days of staying at home in the afternoon. In the practice hours in Glob...
