The future
Hello my friends,
Today I want to write about the future. Nowadays I am a student of Economy and Business Management. I am very interested in Marketing, Internet and Social Network. I don't know where I will work but I would like working in a company related to these fields.
My questions now are: Should I look for a job now? Should I study other things? Should I be more prepared to start working?
What do you think about?
Where do you work? Do you like your job? Are you happy with your life? Have you gotten your dreams?
I think you will be able to get your dreams, if you fight for them.
Will I work in Marketing or in something related to my interests? I don't know, but I hope it.
pd: I am looking somebody interested in exchange english per spanish by Skype. If you want speak with me, you can add me with my Skype name: dxnmusic
Thank you for your corrections!
Homework
Hello my friends,
I have to write a letter about this report:
Today Eugenia Marcos Fernandez is recovering after spending the night on an Andalusian hillside with two injured schoolchildren. The 38-year-old business woman was with her husband on a trip to Spain. "While he worked I went walking in the hills," she explained from her hospital bed. On a lonely hillside she found two ten-year-old boys who had fallen into a large hole in the ground. "They had hurt themselves quite badly and couldn't climb out," said Eugenia. "When I tried to help them, I fell in as well, and then none of us could get out!" They were trapped for 15 hours. "I knew we'd be rescued, but the kids were really frightened," she said.
I have to write the woman because she was a student of my school (it's not real, it is a homework). This is my letter:
Dear Eugenia,
My name is Rafa. I have read the report that appears in the magazine. Your story is admirable. I think that you are very brave.
I write you because I am a student of the same school where you studied.
When I have read the text, I have thought that probably you were very frightened. 15 hours in a hole should be a bad experience. So, you have to be very happy because you are out, and the children are alive thanks to you.
How the rescue was? Were there firemen, helicopters, ambulances, etc? How many? I am sorry for my questions, but I am very interested in your story.
Could you speak me about you school years? Is this school a good school? How the professors are? I hope that you can talk me about some interesting story.
Thanks you for your time. I hope that you leave the hospital soon.
Regards,
Could you correct my letter? Thanks you! :)
The weather
Hello,
Today is a grey day in Warsaw. There are clouds in the sky but it isn't raining.
I am waiting the Spring. I want to see the sun in the sky. I want to go out and walking by the bigger parks that this city have.
But I suppose that I have to wait that moment.
What will you do when the Spring arrive? Maybe, Do you take holidays?
Is the Spring important for you?
If you want to answer my questions, I will be happy. If you don't want, I will continue waiting the Spring.
Hello!

¡CorrĂjame por favor!
I hope to use these blogs to see how much I grow. I have used the internet to decipher every sentence of this blog, so a lot of it may be wildly inaccurate. Please correct me!
Introduction
I am learning spanish because I would like to travel in Spain. Also in many countries in South America. I feel as though learning a new language is like allowing yourself to blend with an entire different culture. I am excited for this to begin, and I believe that I need to start talking to people who don't mind correcting me when I am wrong.

Re: Your advertisement offering “summer on a farm”
Testing writing, Please, correct it
I was getting reeady for work when the bell rang. It was the postman bringing me a very particular parcel…
… I don’t remember well what it was my feeling in this moment, however I had the perception that something special it was just to happen. I didn’t hope anything refered to work because we had never received any parcel, envelope or box from anybody, in fact, it was the first time that I saw the postman. Neither the shape nor the colour of the box gave to me news.
I picked the parcel up from the postman, I gave to him my thanks and I started carefully to open it. My birthday wasn't near and neither anybody was felt in love with me… because of my curiosity, I was quite excited.

Literatura
Los dos libros que hemos leĂdo recientemente son demasiado dificĂl para mi. Tanto CaĂn de Saramago, como El Acoso de Carpintier. Sin embargo ni pude entenderlos en español o inglĂ©s!
El próximo será mas fácil- los de abajo escrito por Mariano Azuela!
Gringo en Colombia
Saludoas a todos. Mellamo es Joel, soy de Texas pero vivo en Bogotá en este momento. Hablo español casi cada dia (obviamente porque estoy en Colombia) pero me siento mal sobre mi viaje porque tengo mucha pereza avezes. Veo el televisor, leo libros y paginas del internet, pienso en Ăngles todo el tiempo. Vivo en Colombia porque querĂa un ambiente de inmercion, pero ahora estoy en el final mez de mi viaje y me siento flojo. Extraño mi familia, mis amigos... mi vida en Texas. Todavia estoy divertiendo pero tengo ganas de irme a mi pais, mi estado, mi ciudad, mi barrio, mi casa, mi cama... jaja. Creame. Me encanta Colombia y voy a volver con frequencia en el futuro, pero en este momento, quiero regresar a Texas. Yo he vivido con las familias de mis amigos de Texas, y son increiblemente amables. Super buena gente. Pero siento como un "bum" y extraño el sentimiento de responsibilidad. Quiero trabajar y tener más control de mis planes y mi vida total. jaja. No sĂ©. Me entienden?
El español de Colombia es el mejor? Daniel Samper se da a la tarea de responder a esta inquietud
La Feria del Libro de Guadalajara, que acaba de celebrarse en MĂ©xico, tuvo a Colombia como invitado especial; una de sus curiosidades se refiere a nuestro dominio del castellano.
Muy a menudo a los colombianos nos preguntan: "ÂżEs verdad que ustedes hablan el mejor español del mundo?" Fue, exactamente, el interrogante que me lanzĂł una revista mexicana a raĂz de que Colombia fue el paĂs invitado a la Feria Internacional del Libro que se celebrĂł entre el 24 de noviembre y el 2 de diciembre.
Le expliqué a la revista que las respuestas posibles se clasifican en tres escuelas:
1) La escuela narcicista, que contesta de manera desvergonzada "sĂ, es verdad". Resulta aconsejable que quienes optan por tan tajante y soberana afirmaciĂłn procuren ser breves, porque podrĂan enredarse en las faldas de su propia respuesta. SĂ© de un antiguo ministro algo pomposo que, enseguida de aceptar con fruiciĂłn el aserto, agregĂł que ello se debĂa en buena parte a la labor educativa de su gobierno, pues antes "hubieron otros que no se preocuparon tanto por el buen uso del español".
2) La escuela de la modesta flor, que niega con sonrojo la pregunta, pues profesa normas de cortesĂa que impiden aceptar la alabanza en causa propia.
3) La escuela eclĂ©ctica, que parece decir que no, pero dice que sĂ.
Yo pertenezco a esta Ăşltima. Al oĂr la pregunta, amago con sorprenderme, finjo un poco de embarazo y ofrezco por todo comentario una sonrisa que pretende ser humilde. Pero que en ningĂşn momento niega el contenido del interrogante.
En realidad, la mejor respuesta la dio hace años José Antonio León Rey, el profesor colombiano que fue delegado por América Latina ante sus colegas de la Real Academia de la Lengua Española.
Club de libros, que libros debemos de leer en los 12 meses que vienen?
La lista completa de los libros leĂdos son:
La casa de los EspĂritus, Demasiados Heroes, Cajas de Carton, En el tiempo de las Mariposas, Cain, Malinche, El juego del Angel, Santa Evita, Cuentos FolklĂłricos Latinoamericanos, Ficciones, El Acoso, Cronica de una muerte annunciada.
Por regla general, los libros deben de haber publicados primer en español, y cerca de 200 páginas. Cuales son los libros que debo de recomendar al grupo por los doce meses entrante?
gracias
Terry
