Post 10: English Language Challenges

Hi guys!! This is my last blog, which marks the end of my English classes. 

In this last blog of the class I must confess that English classes have been really interesting and have helped me a lot of to understand the language and specially to practice it. The blogs were very fun and the “listening” were challenging for me, especially because of actor's accents. Nevertheless it's a good way to practice and to prepare for future work. 

Thanks to Professor Lourdes and her classes, my English has improved a lot of it used to be at the beginning. However, I think I have to keep practicing my "speaking", mostly I need to improve how express my ideas (because I'm sooooo shy and it's hard for me) and my pronunciation.


At first, I thought that writing a blog in English classes would be a bit boring, but I was very wrong. Really I liked many of the subjects that I wrote. Besides, blogs has helped me a lot: taught me to write things in different ways, express my ideas in a more fluid, also in my vocabulary and grammar.

I think that knowing English is an important part in the relation of the most people in The Earth. Not just to communicate with another person who doesn’t speak your language, but also for to do most of thing in day to day, as: find information in Internet, listen music or follow escape's instructions. This is examples of how important is English in everyone’s life. For example, I use English to find information on foreign websites, read books that haven't been translated into Spanish yet or understand the lyrics of a song. 

Well. This is my last blog, so I have to say goodbye. Thanks you very much for your time and for your comments.

Post 9: Year 2014. Good and Bad points

Hi guys: Today I will talk about good and bad points of this year.

Compared to other years (especially with last year), this year has been pretty good. Many good things have happened to me (and I'm very grateful for that), which is a very rare appearance to happen in my life, because usually I have a lot of bad luck. Today I can be smiling while I'm writing this blog, principally because of that problems in my family are over and our financial problems were resolved.


In relation to I expected to do this year, I feel quite satisfied and although there are still goals that I have not fulfilled, everything has gone wonderfully. During the first half of this year I've been able to accomplish many of my goals, the most important was to have passed all academic subjects corresponding to the fifth semester of the career that I'm studying. I'm very happy about that, because my mother is very proud of me and that pleases me very much.

On the other hand, the first half of this year has also been very stressful, mainly because I had to do many things. However, I knew make the most of the little free time that I possessed to rest a bit and then I recovered fully when the winter holidays came.

Thanks to God this semester I have much more free time, which helps me to rest and do things that I had earrings since early this year as: visiting my friends and playing sport. Finally, I also hope pass all my academic subjects as I did in the first half of this year.

Well, this is my assessment of 2014. Thanks for your time.

Post 8: Facebook

Hi guys, today I will talk about the social web Facebook.

I discovered Facebook, thanks to my friends of the secondary, which used daily this web page to communicate with family and friends, play some games and notice about the latest news. At first I wasn't very interested, and was rather reluctant to the idea of create a session in such websites, because I prefer talking to people in person or by telephone, rather through a computer screen. But due to the insistence of my friends, which they were trying to explain me that homeworks in groups were easier to perform by this way (Yes, my friends are very liers!), I ended up giving in and created a user account at 2010.

As time passed, I was still not interested in this website and I just used it to find out news about school. But it all ended when summer and holidays arrived, and leisure and boredom with them. I tried to find a way to ride out this doing many things as playing football or basketball with my friends, watching some movies, cycling, reading a lot of books, and even sleeping. However this wasn’t enough, then Facebook came to my rescue. And How? You wonder yourself. Well, thanks to its games.


Currently, I still think that the best way to communicate with another person is speaking personally. However, Facebook greatly facilitates communication for those people who cannot otherwise communicate other than by chat. On the other hand, one of the things I like about Facebook is that it reminds me the birthdays dates of my friends.

Bye everyone and thanks for your time!
