English

Writing practice

Body

Hello everyone!

At the last week I went to a books fair with my friend Danna. It was at the Obelisco Hotel. I brough the book "Crimen y Castigo" by Fiodor Dostoievsky. Then we went to park near to the hotel and she talked me about her trip to the Amazonas, showed me some videos and photos. I talked her about my live at the place where I'm living at the moment and that I had planning to move to another place.

After that she went to work and I started to walking to the boulevar where I found for casuality an old friend. She was with her girlfriend and with her friend's girlfriend. We was talking about three hours about our lives and remembering old times. It was a very exciting moment.

This week I have not plans to get out, just stay at home studying and get out just to swimming for excercise.

I want to dedicate all this week to study English, I want to improve all my English skills, since listenning and reading to witing and speaking.

Maybe at night I will write about one of the books that I'm reading at the moment.

Thanks to all for reading, and please correct me if you can.

My daily living

Body

I normally wake up kind of late in the morning because I love spending time during nights watching videos on youtube and learning, I believe it's the best time to do it as there's not too much noise around. In the afternoons I do some excercise just to keep in form and feel positive.

I've been continuously practicing English by watching or reading in order to feel more confortable in my new job. I almost forget to mention that I like drawing as well; I usually do characters from anime series or animals that I like.

Condemned

Body

On my bare neck that my hand, as swift as a flock of dark sparrows, caresses beneath the collar, let your red lips lay a final kiss. Oh, my beautiful sun, my Spanish night, come and stand before my tired eyes that will by noon be dead. Reach me. Hold my hand. Open the door and carry me away to our yellow fields. Soon the sky will shine bright, and the flowers will sigh among the grass, but I will be no more. Come, my scarlet sunset, my blonde basket, visit me tonight. Climb, bite, kill, but come. Lay your soft cheek on my shoulder before my time is up. We haven’t yet finished talking about love. Race through the hallways. Run fast. Swoop down the stairs as quick as a falcon, as smoothly as a mountain brook. Threaten and plead if needs be, but come, my white frigate, and reach me at least one hour before my death.

What do you think is the best way to learn about a place you are visiting for the first time?

Body

When I travel someplace new. Before my vacations, I love to investigate on internet and watch youtube travel videos for ideas and popular attractions in this place. In case, that my mobile data service doesn’t work in this area, such as other countries or remote areas, I figured out a solution because I prefer a travel with mobile data. After to visit popular attractions, I look for specific activities that I would like to know because some day read something about it, for example, when I was child, I read a novel relate with bridge of sighs in Venice, Italy. So, when I was visiting Venice, I planned to go there. Another thing that I love to do in my travels to learn more about a place is talking with a local resident, I love to ask question about his/her live there and questions such as What do you like most about live here? How many years are living there?
