HOW TO LEARN ENGLISH !!!

Hi!! now I would like to write about how can you improve your english skills. Here are some tips for doing it:

  • Speak without fear people worry that they won’t say things correctly or that they will look stupid so they don’t talk at all. Don’t do this. The fastest way to learn anything is to do it – again and again until you get it right.
  • Use all of your Resources Even if you study English at a language school it doesn’t mean you can’t learn outside of class. There are many different ways you can improve your English, so don’t limit yourself to only one or two. The internet is a fantastic resource for virtually anything, but for the language learner it's perfect.
  • Watch English Films and Television and Listen to English Music This is not only a fun way to learn but it is also very effective. By watching English films (especially those with English subtitles) you can expand your vocabulary and hear the flow of speech from the actors. Music can be a very effective method of learning English. In fact, it is often used as a way of improving comprehension. The best way to learn though, is to get the lyrics (words) to the songs you are listening to and try to read them as the artist sings.
  • Study As Often As Possible! Take tests and do exercises Only by studying things like grammar and vocabulary and doing exercises, can you really improve your knowledge of any language. One of the best reasons for doing lots of exercises and tests is that they give you a benchmark to compare your future results with. Often, it is by comparing your score on a test you took yesterday with one you took a month or six months ago that you realize just how much you have learned. If you never test yourself, you will never know how much you are progressing.

I think these tips are very important for learning english. You have to practice as much as posible. Nowadays people think that only practicing at the school they`ll learn, learning English requires practice.

A lesson in caring!!!


I think the author and his daughter learnt in what way they can help others for example giving them food, clothes, etc... although at first he didn´t want to do it... but the most important thing is that they gave without expecting a reward back... so that´s a good reason that I consider him a hero...The author was motivated to begin doing volunteer work because of his daughter. He wondered, how can she thinks, being so little, in helping strange people and realized about the suffering and poverty??. .

Michael Jordan!!!




Michael Jordan (full name Michael Jeffrey Jordan) was born on February 17, 1963 in Brooklyn, New York, but his family decided to move to Wilmington, North Carolina when he was still a toddler and is the fourth of five children, having two olderbrothers and an older and younger sister. As a child, Michael Jordan played baseball, basketball and football.

By the time Michael Jordan was finishing his senior year at Laney High School, he enrolled and achieved a basketball scholarship from the University of North Carolina in 1980. Michael Jordan's ever-growing popularity began at UNC where he won the National Basketball Championship as a college freshman.

In the summer of 1984, Michael Jordan played on the U.S Olympic basketball team that won the gold metal and also in 1984, he joined the NBA as a player for the Chicago Bulls, where Jordan immediately became the NBA´s most valuable player (MVP) and would win the title 6 time. I think because of his skills and allure made him the perfect key figure to market both Nike products and the NBA.

After proving that he was the best basketball player in the world he retired before the 1993-94 season because he sought a new challenge: to pursue a baseball career. Jordan quickly realized that he was not cutout for baseball after a disappointing season so he decided that he would never excel at professional baseball.

In March 1995, Jordan made a surprise he returned to the National Basketball Association (NBA). In 1996, Michael Jordan led the Bulls to their best regular season record and the fourth Championship title in six years. He also took a shot at the silver screen, where he starred alongside Bugs Bunny in the animated comedy Space Jam.

After that, in 1999 he retired from Basketball , now he is an active businessman. This biography is an example of what do you want to achieve with an effort and willingness.

¡¡¡ Feel comfortable. That´s all matters !!!


For me this headline describes my own style. I don´t like to wear very formal clothes (only on special occasions) neither to get dressed sloppy, I like to wear casual clothes like jeans, t-shirts and tennis. I don´t care what people say about the way I get dressed, the only thing that matters is that with the clothes that I wear I feel very welland comfortable.

Hi!!! here I am again!!! but now...in 6th semester

Hey in my first entry i´ll talk about my vacations...a great experience!!. These vacations I traveled alone I got nervous when I was in the boarder getting the permission I went to Austin, Texas. There lives my cousin´s mom well in little town of Austin called Buda, Texas, I was there 3 months. I said that it was a great experience because I worked at first as a babysitter like 1 month and 1/2 (I had never worked as it) I was taking care of a little boy: his name Aiden Guerrero, he was 1 month and a half, I had to change his diapers, feed him while his parents were working, I thought that it was easy, of course not sometimes he cried and I wondered why??. His parents were a nice people with me, during the time that I worked with them I stayed with Aiden´s grandparents, they were a nice people too sometimes we went to the outlets where Mrs. Guerrero took me photos in a beautiful fountain that was in there and I bought some things. After that, I worked as housekeeper (cleaning houses). There were a BIG houses maybe with 5 or 7 bathrooms each one with a tub, 4 bedrooms, a kitchen, living room, dinner room... WOW!! really beautiful, inside of them there were stuff animals like deers, it was exhausted working as housekeeper but I can´t lie we earned per house like 60 or 80 dollar but in the other hand it was a good opportunity for me because I could practice the language that I´m studying: English. Well I think that´s all for today next entry I´m going to talk about......

Hwk!!!!!...supporting statements.

If young people in my country want to get married, first, they should love and respect each other and to think about it because is difficult to live together, remember that a successful marriage depends on two things: finding the right person and being the right person" , then they must get the permission of their parents, after that the man has to visit his future wife´s family for coexisting and talking with her parents about the "future wedding" and its preparations...

Happy tree friends....my favorite t.v program!!!




Hi!! I´m going to talk about...The Happy Tree Friends...these are cute, cuddly animals whose daily adventures always end up going horribly wrong. No matter how innocently their day begins, it always ends in mayhem. The ensemble cast includes Cuddles, the cutest darn rabbit you'll ever meet, and Petunia, a sweet girl skunk always mindful to wear air freshener. Traveling through picturesque settings and speaking in a kooky language all their own, the Happy Tree Friends never know what chaos lingers just around the bend. Jaja I love this program.
