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.

 What's in my room There is a closet in my bedroom in which there are clothes like sweaters, pants and dresses inside.  There is a desk in front of my closet. The desk is brown and big. Over my desk, there are school materials, papers, books and some beauty products like brushes, perfumes and make up. There is a bed that is in front  of the window and nexr to my door. Over my bed, there are pillows, stuffed animals and under my bed, there are all my shoes. Finally, there is a small gray carpet under my bed. It's a small bedroom but I like it.

What I usually eat

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.
