Dear Maria,

I'm writing this e-mail to apologise for not attending to our meeting, but I've been very busy with my exams. On Monday a have a very difficult exam, so I can't meet you on Sunday, I'm very sorry about it. If you like we still can go to the cinema the next weekend, and we can watch black swan, beacause everybody who have seen it have told me that it's a really good film. If you don't want I can understand it, but I really want to see you soon, because it's been too long since we saw eachother and I have a lot of things to tell you. I hope you don't mind too much and if you can meet next week just call me!

Take care, Sara

My experience learning a foreing lenguage

2011-02-07T08:13:00.000-08:00

Since I was little I started to leran English at school, but I think I've learned more these past years. More or less, I've been studing English for six years, since I signed in a lenguage school: Brigsol School. In a short time I started to like English, because it was easy to lern and it's very good to find a job or for travelling in the future. But, in the other hand, I think it's a little bit difficult for Spanish people to pronunce it, like all the sounds with H or W, like: Whatever, whenever, etc... In my opinion, to learn English it's more important to listen it or read it than grammar, so I think that to watch TV programs like: How I met your mother, Gossip Girl, Lost... Or reading books helps me much to increase my ability or my vocabulary. In the end I'm learning a lot of English and I hope to keep learing more lenaguages, because I really enjoy it.

Canada

2011-02-01T13:05:00.001-08:00

I have already visited Canada, but I'd like to spend some more time there, because it's a very beatiful country.

Canada is the biggest country of America. Its capital is Ottawa, and the economic capital is Toronto. There are two offiacial languages: French and English, because Canada was a French colony. The most practiced religion is Christianity but it isn't the most reconized religion. It's a cold country with amazing landscapes who have to be pictured.

I would like to visit Niagara Falls again, because they are very beautiful and get in the cruise that take you under thefalls, because it's quite impressive. I will borrow my dad's camera to take a lot of pictures in Toronto, because it's a very nice city. The food is good as Spanish food, and they eat many hamburgers like in USA, but I really enjoy that food. Moreover I hope the journey will help me to practice my English an learn a little bit of French.

I think Canada it's a great country for spendind vacation there or living, because it's really safe and secure. I hope I can make that journey soon!

This summer was amazing, it was good fun indeed and I enjoy it a lot. At the end of June I was a little bit bored, because, all my friends were in camps. But then in July I had a great time, because two girls from Nürnberg, Germany (Their names are Sina and Lara) were hosted in my house for 8 days. We visited Valencia, the City of Arts an Sciences, the beach... And also I had hosted a eight year old girl from the Sahara for all the summer, her name is Sida. And I went to a lot of places with all the children who come to Spain with the ONG ''Sahara Lliure'', places like Aquarama, Terra Mítica, and did a lot of activities like the parade of Moors and Cristians, or I also went to visit the courts of Valencia. And in september i went to a lot of parties like the costumes party of RafelBunyol, or La Canyada, Paterna... In conclusion, this summer was really good.

Social Nets

2009-12-17T12:18:00.000-08:00

Social Nets, is something that nowadays everyone can use, but it's specially used by teenagers.

In the one hand, social nets, are good, because you can communicate better with your friends, without the need to spend money, as for example, a call by a mobile phone. Also, if you have much free time, you can spend it watching the pictures of your friends. Some social nets, have games, and is a very enjoying way to show your friends habilities playing, for example, the aquario.

On the other hand, you have to be careful, because, how everybody can use it, maybe, can take your pictures and do a bay use, fortunatelly, some of thats nets offer privacity. Other bad thing, is that sometimes it is addictive, and you use your time for looking it and don't do your homework or don't study for your exams.

My conclusion is that socials nets are fine if you know how to use them, because if you don't know all their disadvantages it can be dangerous.

Niagara Falls

2009-09-14T13:11:00.000-07:00

This summer I travel to Nigara falls (Canada). There are two falls, the first one part to USA, is divided in two: fall of New York and Bridal veil Falls. It measure 56 metres of height.

The second one is in Ontario's province. They are more impressive than the americans but ther mesure 52 meters.

That point is very touristic, you can do a cruise on the nigara's river and be below the falls. Another options is go walking on a wood walkways that every winter they broke by the cold.

A legend said that the first human in plunge over the falls was Lelawala, a woman who don't want to get married with the most horrible and the eldest indian of the tribe, so she go with her canoe and kill herself.

When Nigara begin to be a touristic place, the name of the boat that do the cruise was Lelawala, in her honor.

2009-08-24T04:58:00.000-07:00

The camp instrucctors were fabouls because, besides being fun the help you all the time, and the teenagers that were there too.

Present Perfect

2009-02-12T13:08:00.000-08:00

The present perfect is used to talk about an action that started in the past and it continues to now. The sentences is formed with: sub + verb auxiliar (have) + verb (past participle)

Interrogative: Have you seen that film?

To complement the sentence we used the words: just, still, already and yet.
