La catedral de Santiago de Compostela data del siglo XI-XII y es un ejemplo del estilo románico. Construida para albergar los restos del apóstol Santiago y recibir a los peregrinos, presenta una planta de cruz latina con tres naves, transepto y girola, cubierta con bóvedas de cañón y pilares cruciformes. Aunque su exterior ha cambiado a lo largo de los siglos, su interior mantiene elementos decorativos románicos como capiteles escultóricos.
El documento describe la arquitectura del Renacimiento italiano. Comenzó en Florencia en el siglo XV y se centró en los principios clásicos de proporción y orden. Filippo Brunelleschi creó obras maestras como la cúpula de Santa María de las Flores que definieron el estilo. En el siglo XVI, el centro se trasladó a Roma, donde arquitectos como Bramante, Miguel Ángel y Palladio crearon diseños monumentales y solemnes basados en modelos clásicos pero con un enfoque más dramático.

This document provides an overview of historicism and romanticism in architecture and art. Historicism developed in the 19th-20th centuries and involved copying historic styles from the past. Examples include the Houses of Parliament in London built in the Neo-Gothic style. Romanticism emphasized feelings and individualism and rejected rational classicism. Romantic sculpture focused on movement and emotion while painting featured themes of nature, folklore, and nationalism with loose brush strokes and bright colors. Eugène Delacroix's painting "Liberty Leading the People" exemplifies romanticism with its allegorical representation of the 1830 French Revolution.

This painting by Claude Monet depicts a sunrise scene at the port of Le Havre, France. In the foreground are two small rowboats, with fishing boats and larger ships like clippers and steamships in the middle and background.

The Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco continues a tradition of circular temple architecture that can be traced back to ancient Greece. Specifically, it emulates the tholos, a circular structure with a ring of columns surrounding a domed roof. While originally intended to gradually fall into ruin to symbolize the impermanence of human achievement, the Palace instead crumbled in an unsightly way. In the 1960s it was completely rebuilt using more permanent materials while striving to accurately recreate the original design, ensuring its legacy would continue for generations.
Plaza de Espana in Seville was created for the 1929 Ibero-American Exhibition and resides in the former private grounds of a palace. The enormous Gothic Seville Cathedral replaced an Almohad mosque and contains the Giralda bell tower, originally a minaret. The Alhambra palace in Granada was converted from a 9th century castle and is renowned for its Moorish architecture, frescoes, and interior details like the Lion Court featuring 12 marble lions.
Technology is playing an increasingly important role in education as computers, tablets, and other devices are being used more frequently by students and teachers in classrooms. While technology offers opportunities to enhance learning, it also raises questions about how it impacts traditional teaching methods and whether it could replace certain functions of teachers. Overall, technology may transform education by offering new tools and resources, but human interaction and guidance from teachers will likely remain essential aspects of the learning process.

The document provides tips and guidelines for completing a photo speculation exercise, which is commonly given in English proficiency exams. Students are shown a photo and must speculate or guess what is happening in the picture based on visual clues. They should provide an overview of what can be seen, then speculate about what is occurring, happened before, or will happen after in the present, past or future tenses. Tips include taking time to observe details, going beyond just what is visible, and not worrying about mistakes. The document outlines the order and structure to follow when responding and common grammar and vocabulary that may be useful.

The document discusses the differences between direct and reported speech. Direct speech uses quotation marks and maintains the same tenses and pronouns. Reported speech does not use quotation marks, usually changes verb tenses back one time, and may change pronouns and other context-dependent words. It provides examples of how to report statements, questions, commands, requests, suggestions and conditional sentences. Reported speech is used to tell someone what another person said without using their exact words.
The document discusses the use of passive voice in English grammar. It notes that passive voice focuses on the action rather than the subject performing the action. It provides examples of when passive voice is used, such as in more formal or academic writing. It also discusses how to form passive sentences from active sentences by changing the subject and verb form. Tenses, negatives, questions, and verbs with prepositions or double objects are addressed when changing between active and passive voice.
The document provides tips for comparing two pictures in an English language exam. Students are shown two pictures and must compare or contrast the key details within 2-3 minutes. First, briefly describe each picture without details. Then note the similarities between the pictures using expressions like "similarly" or "likewise." Finally, highlight any differences using phrases such as "on the other hand" or "whereas." Follow this order and avoid overfocusing on one picture. Use vocabulary related to actions, landscapes, descriptions, feelings, times. Employ comparative structures, adverbs of degree, verbs of existence, and connectors to clearly show similarities and differences.

The motto of Seville is "NO8DO". The "8" is shaped like a skein
of wool, or, “madeja” in Spanish. The motto, therefore, is a rebus,
reading "NO madeja DO," a play on the sentence, "No me ha
dejado," or "she [the city] has not abandoned me [the king]". The
motto, according to one legend, refers to the city's support of King
Alphonse X in a 13th-century war with his son, Don Sancho.
Another places the phrase in the mouth of Ferdinand III while
riding into the city after expelling the Moors in 1248. This motto is
seen in the city flag and throughout Seville, inscribed on manhole
covers, and on some street signs.
