February 12th. Activity

Hey, how's going? Well the week almost has been finished and this is the last english class of it. Friday 3pm. I just came from a baseball game and I'm a little bit nervous about my next class, it's my first partial math exam! In another hand, at english class, Seamus asked for laptops and make questions about our doubts and here are some:

1. How long I need to write in my blog post?
2. How many times a week I should post?
3. Should I write all about my practice?
4. How can I find interesting widgets for my blog?
5. How can I be more organized to practice on time?
6. Is correct translate lyrics or just understand the phrases?

I think I don't have more questions so have a nice weekend and enjoy it with your family or if you have boyfriend or girlfriend, husband or wife, make them happy everyday!

And finally...

♥♥♥ Happy Valentine's day ♥♥♥

P.s. Classroom 2304 needs dark curtains and more confortable chairs.

The busiest week.

Hello, yeah I know I hadn't written nothing, but this week has been so hard. On monday we had the first oral presentation, I really studied my pronunciation and fluenty. I designed the slides in a uncommon way yet. I found the video and I liked a lot the part of "mybook & facespace" haha!

In another hand, I have been training my skill on reading trough english web pages, e.g. when I have a homework which needs a lot of investigate, I try to find information in english, is more confident, and I read and do my best to understand strange word only using the context.

Well, in class we are having the TOEFL test, Yesterday we did the listening and grammar part and today we'll answer the reading part.

Tomorrow I'll have 3 test! English Quizz, Math's exam and EVAP's exam.

See you!
