Names!!!!!

Hey...what a hassle!! (ja I just learned) I couldn´t write the 2nd entry of last week I had a problems that´s why that I´m writting it right now....well as you know the teacher is giving us some readings that are really interesting because they let me know more about other countries or cultures for example the three talk about names.

The first one is something that happened with the President Bill Clinton he thought that in Korea the women should have the husband´s name but he was wrong, in Korea and Japan have the same tradition: the women or wives keep the maiden names, here in Mexico is different when they get married retain the maiden name and add the name of their husbands; the 3rd reading is similar because talks about maiden names too, but the difference is these women had to change their names because of their husbands. I think that men are insecure or... I don´t know because they think if we change our names maybe in this way we demonstrate that we love them I´m not agree with this opinion is not necessary to do this kind of things. Another thing is that they want to control us if we do that, like the woman in the reading says is something that happened to her... we´re not slaves of them ja.

In the 2nd one is about 2 girls that don´t like their names. I like only my first name: Gilda, the second I don´t: Edith it doesn´t sound pretty I would never change it because is my mother´s name too. If I have a child I´ll name, if is a girl Silvia Sofía (I love this name), a boy maybe Mario Alejandro. Nowadays there are some parents that name their children with a horrible names for example I know a person that his name is Gaudencio another one Próspero Hemeterio.....nooooo can´t you believe it!!! :S if I had those kind of names I´d suicide myself jaja i´m just kidding....

I think that´s all guys see u...bye bye... and remember BE HAPPY!!!!

hwk!!!!

___________________. Everyday stress is inevitable and there are some precautions can be taken to avoid some of it but for the most part it is unavoidable. However what you can do is force yourself to have a little down time each day so that you can help yourself to stay happy and healthy and not allow stress to bring you down. There are many ways to get rid of stress for example: *find a quiet place when you´re overwhelmed, * take a bath, play soft music and lay down in bed, *do yoga, *go for a walk, * avoid people who are constantly or complain (stress can be contagious jaja) and the most important thing for me *smile and laugh.

Topic sentence: Take time for yourself and just relax.

...this is the worst thing that had happened to me in my life!!

Hey!!!

"Am I the first man you have ever loved?" he said."Of course," she answered "Why do men always ask the same question?".

When I was young I didn't like going to weddings.My grandmother would tell me, "You're next"However, she stopped doing that after I started saying the same thing to her at funerals.

This is a bilingual English/Spanish joke-- especially good for a class of native Spanish speakers. It also illustrates an important gramatical difference between languages (genders of nouns).

An Englishman went to Spain on a fishing trip. He hired a Spanish guide to help him find the best fishing spots. Since the Englishman was learning Spanish, he asked the guide to speak to him in Spanish and to correct any mistakes of usage. They were hiking on a mountain trail when a very large, purple and blue fly crossed their path. The Englishmen pointed at the insect with his fishing rod, and said, "Mira el mosca!" The guide, sensing a teaching opportunity, replied, "No, senor, 'la mosca'... es femenina."

The Englishman looked at him, then back at the fly, and then said, "Good heavens... you must have incredibly good eyesight."

I decided to search for some jokes, I just wanted to have fun for little time jaja and I like these ones, there are more , if you want to read them here´s the web page http://iteslj.org/c/jokes.html, I like it because says: jokes in English for the ESL/EFL and this could help us to learn phrases and vocabulary, and do you know what? is easy to understand these jokes....

Well, changing the topic, see u on Sunday, I´m sleepy and I´ll get up at 6 am tomorrow I´m going to visit my grandma, she lives in Glz, Tamps with my aunts....byeeeee :)

Tampico!!!

Hello again!... I`m here because I decided that I`m going to do my hwk right now and I don`t know what to write :S ...well, I`m going to start saying that:

*Tampico and its historical, beautiful places.

*Tampico`s gastronomy

*sports activities in Tampico

Tampico is a coastal city with a tropical, hot and extreme weather and has many places to visit for example:

Miramar beach: I think it is considered one of the most beautiful beaches in Tampioco but is located in Cd. Madero. It has a breakwater where you can go fishing.

Metropolitane park: this park has beautiful gardens for family recreation and there you can take a trip in boat.

Historical center: this place is a group of beautiful places such as the Cathedral and the Plaza. I like it because you can see doves and squirrels.

Finally, I want to tell you that these are some places that you can visit here I recommended you, it`s an excellent place for recreation and ìt`s popular for its bridge: Puente Tampico.

I feel stressed...!!!!!!!

Hi!! now I`m in Maty`s house, we have to do hwk about Literature and is too much: read, write on computer and look for images...I got up at 8:30 I`m tired ...let me tell you that I feel stressed I have to do many things (I really need my computeeeeer I think that I`ll have it on monday I`m not sure): the english hwk, to study for 2 or 3 exams, etc, etc...the next week will be stressful for those things that I mentioned...I have headache ja....tomorow I`ll do it the english hwk if I can `cause I`m gonna go to pay the telephone bill...well,that`s all for today... see u!!!!

Again......!!!!

Hello!! I`m in Arlene`s house because my computer it doesn`t work since last week, I have to buy a CPU it`s very expensive and in this moment my parents don`t have money so I need to go a cyber or to ask for help jeje ...

Well, I don`t know what`s the hwk about so I`ll do it how I understood...

I read the lesson of the book and I understand that there are some parents that teach their children at home this could be a good idea but I don`t think so, I`d rather go to the school, because there I can learn how to get along with other people this might be an advantage, in this way you can improve your communicative skills, a disadvantage: maybe your parents don`t have the knowledge for teaching you.

Something about me!!!!

Hi!! I`m going to write about me...... I`m 21 years, I live in Tampico, I have one brother his name is Braulio and he`s living in Matomoros where he is working too, My parents are Nohemì and Pedro, they are nice people but they sometimes are telling me what I have to do and that`s really bothers me je but I love them. I`m student, I`m studying English as career I like it so much because in the future I would like to be a Translator or Interpreter, at first I was studying Medicine but is a difficult career, there I was stressed and nervous but I`ll never forget that experience. My favorite hobbies are: listen english music, in fact I listen in the radio a program where records songs of the Beatles everyday (hey Jude is one of my favorite song of them), Gloria Gaynor, Olivia Newton are some other artists that I like, watch t.v especially programs like Grey`s Anatomy, Shark and Dr. House, surf the internet and sleep....My favorite actor is the really handsome: Johnny Depp I think he`s a good actor, I liked his performance in the movie " Pirates of Caribbean" .....well I have to go because I`m in the cyber and I only have $10 pesos jaja I`ll continue tomorrow....bye.......
