Bienvenido - Welcome - Boas-vindas - Benvenuto - Bienvenue

Ser FELIZ no significa que todo sea perfecto, a veces la MEJOR opción es la que duele; debemos sentir la ausencia para valorar la presencia. No busques el momento perfecto, sólo busca el momento y HAZLO PERFECTO. Hay días grises, pero a la final SIEMPRE saldrá el sol. Recuerda... sólo vuelve lo que realmente VALE LA PENA, lo que no, simplemente se aleja. EXÍGETE mucho a ti mismo y espera poco de los demás.

What did we do in the third week? - Video

What did we do in the third week?

On this week, we made activities about eating habits (in the childhood and in now). Also, we spoke about our favorite restaurant: type of food, service, atmosphere, style and the cost. So, the teacher taught us to make a descriptive text. This text contained an introduction, details and characteristic. Finally, the text contained a conclusion, invitation or critic.

In conclusion, in this week I learnt:
to make a descriptive text
to take notes
to ask questions from a topic.

How do you feel? - Second and third week

Second week:

Always I thought the teacher's methodology is very good. Her activities are fun and I learnt much. I like  her classes, because she did activities to practice pronunciation. Also, I like so much to do an activity after another. The teacher is very dinamic and recursive.  Almost always in the classes, we practice listening, writing and speaking. I like it!! 


Third week:

In this week, I couldn't go one time at classes, 'cause I was so sick. But the teacher was friendly and she said me the activities made in class. One day, I felt a little uncomfortable, because I couldn't finish an activity. My group It was not very efficient. Moreover, in last class, I couldn't participate an integration (This was a "picnic", something), 'cause I had to apply some vaccines. It was painful! My arm still hurts!! 


What did we do in the second week?



During the week, we made activities about "my first experiences", vacation trips and narrative text. 

In my first experiences activity, some students spoke about first kiss, first party or their first accident. I spoke about my first accident. Also, my classmates and me made a narrative text about vacation on Medellin. The structure's text contained an introduction, a climax and conclusion. Moreover, the teacher taught us vocabulary or expressions about feelings.

In this class, I learnt to make a descriptive text in past. It was interesting!

French fries

The french fries are a types of potatoes. These potatoes are cut into strips or sliced and it's friend in oil. These potatoes originated at a restaurant called "Moon Lake Lodge" in NY, around the year 1853. Because, a customer had complained so thick potato and the chef decided to cut the potatoes very thin.

Although chips were already a popular dish in most Commonwealth countries, the thin style of French fries has been popularized worldwide in part by U.S.-based fast food chains such as McDonald's. These are the best french fries, oh yes!!

Note: The french fries have more vitamins than cooked, 'cause cooking process is shorter.

Descriptive text

McDonald's is a fun restaurant. Here, you can eat delicious hamburgers (American food) and ice creams. 

In this restaurant, also they sell salads, shakes and the most delicious french fries. Restaurant's service is good, but when there aren't a lot of people. Restaurant's style is modern and youth; its atmosphere is nice to eat and it´s very comfortable. The restaurant is not very expensive, it all depends on you have money.

My favorite restaurant

My favorite restaurant is "El corral". This restaurant is located in many cities, por example: Bogotá, Cali, Cartagena, Medellin and others. The restaurant's specialty are hamburgers. These are delicious! Several types of burgers: Hawaiian, Italian, Mexican, creole, coast, Texas, SUV, etc. Each hamburger has ingredients and special features.

In this restaurant, also it sell sandwichs, wraps, salads and other delights. The corral's desserts are very luscious: sundaes, shakes, brownie with ice cream, apple pie and lemon. Oh my God! all it's so exquisite! I love chocolate's shake.

The restaurant's style is 60's or 80's (Marilyn Monroe style). All restaurant has cartoon pictures.

I like to go to Corral from 80 street. This place is very nice. It's outdoor, there is a playground and also there is a terrace. The restaurant's service is good, but it's not excellent.

I think the restaurant isn't expensive, because the food is adsolutely delicious. The food has a unique flavor. The cost of burger is between approximately 9000 and 15000 pesos. However, there are other less expensive restaurants and the food is equally exqusite.

What are you eating habits? - What were you eating habits?

I eat all type of food: vegetables, cereal, legumes, meat, fish, chicken....whatever!

At breakfast, I eat eggs with ham or sausage, arepa, cheese and chocolate milk. During morning, I mean, after breakfast, I like to eat cookies or fruits. At lunch, I like soups with many vegetables. Also, I like to eat meat, fish or chicken. On afternoon, I eat chocolate cake or "bocadillo" with milk. I love it!!

At dinner, I eat arepa with cheese or a couple of hot dogs. Always I eat something light. I love to drink box juices. That are very refreshing.

In general, I like everything type food, especially some coast's dishes and the desserts (candies, ice cream, cakes, cookies, gummies).



On the other hand, when I was a little girl, I ate very bad: I hated vegetables and soups. I ate only chicken or meat and many candies. 

At breakfast, I ate sausage with eggs and milk. At lunch, I ate meat or chicken and french fries. I ate little rice. Finally, at dinner, I ate arepa, sausage, eggs and milk.

I cried, when I had eat soups. In my childhood, I was whimsical; so sometimes, my parents gave me candies for I didn't cry.

In conclusion, I ate very bad, but now I eat balanced.

Bad experience

26 may 2011

My first bad experience


When I was six years old, I went to Ayapel with my family. I was on vacation, so I played all the time: I rode bicycle, I watched TV, I jumped, I run... I did everything.


One day, before I got home, I said to my brother: "let's ride bike". So we went to ride. My brother was driving the bike and I was sitting on crossbar. While we did the tour, I put my foot on the rim, so the bicycle went forward. Then my brother and me fall down. I broke my arm, it was very painful!!! My brother didn't get hurt.

This was my first bad experience.

What did I do on Saturday?


On Saturday, I got up early and took a shower. At 10:00 am, I went to market with my mother and my godmother. Here, I bought a couple of earrings, but my mother gave me a pair. Then, I had a lunch in godmother's house.

During afternoon, I slept and when I got up, I watched TV. At 6:00 pm I went to mass. Later, when the mass ended, I ate a pie and a rice pudding. It was delicious!

On night, I talked with my godmother about of university. She said that my university was very strict. After, we went to Sabaneta. In this place, we went to a "fonda". It was fun, because we laughed so much!!! Also It rained a little. We got home around at 11:30 pm.

How did you feel?



When course started, the students were only 8 o 10 (I don’t remember very good). I liked that my group was small. After, other students arrived, then, the group became bigger. I felt a little uncomfortable, but I thought that it hadn’t importance. I can study with many students or few students. Everything depends on me.




One day, I arrived very late, because I went to bus stop at 10:15 am. I felt a little bad, I hate being late. But the teacher was not angry, she was quiet. She's a good teacher.

In general, I liked all activities that I made in class. Also, I liked to make everyday homework. I think that there is not much to write, because the course just beginning.


What did we do in the first week?

During the week, the English classes were very entertaining. I liked all games, especially the "concentrate". It was very fun, because my group won!! Also I remembered the past of some verb.

The teacher made activities that help us to practice writing. The teacher's methodology on the week it was very good. The teacher wrote in the board the contents of each class, I liked it! because the students can organize their notes. I hope that the teacher help me to strengthen my pronunciation and listening, because I made mistakes in some classes.
