People on the move

 People on the move At the beginning of the semester: ... I was feeling excited and happy to start a new semester and learn new things about my subjects. At first, my teachers told us about the topics. I took English this semester and I met the teacher for the first time.  During the semester... Now, I study my classes every week, I feel more confident and I like my new subjects and teachers. Although some classes are difficult, they are interesting too.  I learn and practice during my classes. Even if sometimes they are difficult, I try to study. After I finish the semester... When I finish the semester I will put all the things I learned into practice the next year. I will probably take some extra courses on the internet to improve more my skills. I'm going to practice my English by reading some books and comics. I hope next year will be good!

  My favorite things collage Pizza is more delicious than hamburgers because it has more cheese and the sauce has a tasty flavour. Cookies are the best snack when you watch a movie with a hot chocolate,

A popular dish

  Lasagna Lasagna is a traditional Italian food that it is very delicious. Even if it is too much work, it's worth it. For this food you need vegetables like a lot of carrots, some celery, many tomatoes, a few onions and a few cloves of garlic. We make the sauce with at least a kilo of tomatoes, one cup of onion  and four cloves of garlic. Once the sauce is ready, you prepare the meat.  The meat is fried with a pinch of salt and pepper and little oil, don't forget to add four carrots and some celery. Finally, you prepare the pasta layers, you put one pasta layer, one meat layer with the sauce, and a lot of cheese, you repeat until you fill a container and oven it. This dish is perfect for all the family in special reunions. The meat, vegetables cheese combination is perfect!.

A mexican tradition: The wise men's day

 The wise men's day In Mexico, we have a beautiful tradition named "The wise men's day". This celebration is on January 5th night's eve and in the morning on January 6th. The children write a letter to The wise men's in which they ask for toys, candies or gifts because they behave well during all the year. If the child was good, he will receive gifts but if the child behaved badly, he won't receive anything. This tradition was originated by the Holy night on December 24th when The baby Jesus was born and the three Wise men visited to bring him gold, frankincese and myrrh. Also, on this day Mexican families eat a delicios bread called "Rosca de reyes" which is a bread with "ATE" a popular fruit concentrate and dried fruits. This bread contains an unexpected surprise; baby Jesus made of plastic. If you get a slice of Rosca de reyes with a baby Jesus, you need to give tamales and atole on February 2nd, the day of the Candelaria, another Me...

What I usually eat

Imagen
On the week, I usually drink some coffee in the morning but I don’t put any sugar in it. Also, I have some chilaquiles or fruit like a banana or an apple . . For lunch, I eat different every day. But, I try to eat some vegetables like broccoli, carrots and peppers. And of course, I cook generally with tomatoes, chillies and onions. Also, I usually eat some pasta, rice or soup in my meals. I don’t eat a lot of meat. But when I do it’s usually chicken or tuna. And pork in tacos. At night, I drink coffee with milk and eat something “light” like yogurt with cereal or if I have some cravings, sometimes I eat bread.  On the weekends my food habits change a little. Sometimes I eat sushi, pizza, a sandwich or maybe a hamburger. I drink more sweet drinks like a soda or I eat  not so healthy food like chocolate, chips or wings.

Events that marked my family (Example)

 Events that marked my family When I was younger, an event that marked my life was when I started to study English. At the beginning I didn't like to wake up early in the morning on a saturday to go to school because it was my weekend and I wanted to sleep and relax but my parents force me. Little by little I started to like the language more and more, and realized that it really helped me in my high school classes.  Then, when the time for me to choose a carrer came, I decided to study the English Language Teaching, and it's a decision that I really affect my life. Even though sometimes the job is not so well paid, I feel happy to be able to help people learn about a  new culture.
