Yesterday´s class

In class yesterday we saw all texts related to new technology such as websites, e-mail, text messages, etc.
First, the material on websites is organized and this is influenced by the dimensions of the screen printed. They are also the non-linear text, graph logical that are important features, and is much more interactive than written traditional texts.
Then we saw the email, in particular, the informality of email, together with the Interactive relationship between senders and receivers, makes it to written communication from in Many Ways That is close to spoken language.
The lexis often conversational, that there is more tolerance of spelling errors; greeting and farewells illustrate the informality of the medium; the grammatical features include loosely constructed sentences, with some punctuation marks omitted; prosodic features of speech; and with emoticons that are graphical symbols used to represent facial expressions and body language.
And finally in text messages they are abbreviations like words shortened as in TXT (for text), phonetic spelling as in LUV (for love), letters homophones as in C (for see), number homophones as in 2 (for too), and grammatical compression.

Hotels around the world

When money is no object, the object is to savor a slice of paradise

There is a hotel nestled in the woods in upstate New York that boasts unmatched Adirondack beauty, a world class kitchen staff, secluded log cabin style accommodations, a fleet of boats for guests to use, enormous fireplaces and other luxurious amenities that surpass the expectations of even the most discriminating guests. 
"Staying here makes you feel like a Rockefeller, which makes sense, this is an old Rockefeller camp set on a lake in the Adirondacks, and it's the epitome of rustic luxury," says Rich Beattie, executive editor of Travel and Leisure.com.

Meals are elegant and whimsical. Breakfast in bed.  Elaborate dinners are served near a roaring fire. "You can go into the kitchen at anytime and talk with the chef," says Beattie.

If you want to see The Point in person, you will need to spend at least $1,300 a night, all inclusive  visitors are turned away at the gate.
If you are looking for something decidedly less rustic than a woodsy log cabin, then maybe Hong Kong's oldest hotel, the Peninsula, is more suitable. With  details like marble bathrooms, plasma screens in every room, an on site spa, and spectacular views of Victoria Harbour and the Hong Kong cityscape, the Peninsula's luxury befits its 82-year pedigree.

The same can be said of any of the hotels on our list. They're not the most accessible or affordable. These hotels should be seen to be believed.
