HOW TO BE A GOOD FATHER


Hi, how are you? Today I’m going to talk about an article that I read and I believe is very interesting for you, is important you follow some advices that I will give you to be a good father, first of all I think that being a good father is a difficult task and a big responsibility,but above all is a great blessing, therefore as a parent you should guide and educate your children with a lot of love and shouldn’t control them, because in this way you won’t be able to maintain a good relationship with your children. Also, you should be a good friend, for example if your son has a problem you should listen to him with attention and give him good advices, this way you will help your children, and she/he will make better decisions, and in the future your children will be very grateful with you. Also I think is very important you give a good example to your children because they will learn from you; probably you can teach them how to treat a woman, or how to take care his family and other things, is important you respect their opinions and decisions, as it is important to tell the truth to your children about everything, because this way they will trust you.

On the other hand I think an important factor is to give affection and warmth to your children and don’t be afraid to tell your child “I love you”, also you should play with them, in the same way you should have good communication with them and to keep a good sense of humor. Finally is important you show support and love through actions, I believe with these advices you can be a good father, that’s all, see you next week. Bye.

HERE FOLLOW SEVERAL OCCASIONAL MEDITATIONS


Today I´m going to talk about a poem that I read,his poem talks about how is a woman when she is in love, for example the poem says that while most of people sleep at night, a woman who is fall in love can´t sleep or in other words her eyes keep open, because she thinks in that men whom she has interest, and also poem´s author says that her love appear in her dreams and with tears seek him earnestly, but afortunately that man who she thinks, always is with her in bad and in good moments of her life, because someone who wants you will always be with you whatever happens and never will get hurt you and he will always protect of somoething or someone who want hurt your feelings.

I think love is one of the most wonderful things we have in the life, and I believe when someone really has interest on you, he/she will always be with you and will support when decisions you make in the life, I also think someone who love you is not selfish and give you all his love and warmth, that person also cheer up when you most need, and share with you good and bad moments.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN TELEPHONE AND EMAIL



Both telephone and email are important technological advances on our life, and although the telephone is a very quick metod of communication, if we use appropiately, email can be much more effective and efficient.

Telephone and email allow us to keep in touch with people around the world, we can interact with friends, family, classmates or someone in special who we want and love so much, help us also when we want to do an important business and we have to establish a conversation with someone in any part of the world.

Telephone is neccesary when we have an emergency, for example, when we are in a dangerous place and want to call our best friend or our family because need someone who help us, also once we are talking by phone with someone, we can resolve situations immediately. The telephone also help us to develop the hability to hear spontaneity and for express what we feel in that moment which we are speaking with another person, we answer quickly what we want to say and we have a free conversation. On the other hand email is a way of sending messages from one person to another using a computer, and we can also wait long hours to get a response, but we can send an important document someone who need it or a text to do homework as a team, in email we have to write and we don´t develop the ability to speak, email is good to make appointments for busy people. And though email we can send photos and documents to our friends and family to share information with them.

Whereas telephone allow us to have communication with people around the world more quickly, and witout be waiting hours to get a response, and to have access to email is cheapest, what is more help us to develop our ability to write, and allow us pass the time with more fun.

PRAYER


Hí, how are you? Today I´m going to talk about a poem which I read and I believe is very interesting. This poem talks about god, The author says that he will always believe in god whatever happens, even if the rest of the people think differently or don’t believe in god.

He says the most important thing is to have faith because god is always with us. I agree with this because I think it is very important not to loose faith in him, because he always help us when we have a problem, he give us a lot of love, thanks god we can see all wonderful things on the earth, and we can enjoy of a family and of nice friends.
In my personal opinion thanks god I feel lucky because I have a close familia, my family and I enjoy good health and everyday also we have something to eat.

When I read this poem I felt happiness because I think god is the greatest love we have, I think also faith to move mountains, And finally I think we should give thanks him by all happy moments that we had lived, ok that´s all, have a nice day, see you next week.

FRANKENSTEIN


I’m going to talk about what I understood of this movie called Frankenstein which I saw in the classroom with my classmates in American literature’s class.

Frankenstein unburried a man to carry out an experiment, he wanted to bring him back to life, but he needed a brain, then the Frankenstein’s assistant stole a brain which was in the laboratory of the university where frankestein was studying.
Unfortunately he took the wrong brain, since it was an anormal one, and it was set on that man, after a few days the experiment had sucess, since the man was alive, but he was incontrollable and furios, then Dr. Waldman, his father and his girlfriend Elizabeth weren´t agree with Frankenstein idea, but he doesn´t care what peole thought about him, in fact Dr waldman told him, you are creating a monster. Because he was called monster.

On the other hand Frankenstein had an argument with his father, because he wasn´t agree with his experiment, and he also would want to marry to his son Frankenstein with Elizabeth. Frankenstein also couldn’t control to monster, because he attacked to people and he get exalted with the fire. Ok this is a brief summary of this interesting movie, I believe that´s all bye, have a nice day, see you next week.

FACTS ABOUT HEALTH AND EATING.


Hi, how are you? I´m fine, ok. Today I´m going to talk about what we should eat and what we should do to be healthy, since I read an article and it seemed very interesting to me, in this article I read that we should eat soya because it help us to keep our healthy skin, as well help us to keep our healthy heart, and it helps people who suffer from osteoporosis and cholesterol, in the same way is recommendable to eat many fruits, vegetables and whole grains because it help us to prevent the age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) by 35%, since it affects 1.75 millon americans and is one of the most important causes of blindness in older adults.

Likewise is advisable not smoking, not drinking in excess, do exercise, and maintaining a healthy weight, and to have also a balanced diet, since if we follow those advises we will get reduce the risk of heart disease by 87%. On the other hand, as you know we shouldn´t eat fatty foods because it has a negative impact on our health, but if we take a brish walk after a meal, we can reduce some of the risk of eating too much fat. In the same way is recommendable don´t consume too salt, since it affects seriously our health, and also is very important you drink tea, because it not only replaces fluid but also is rich in disease- preventing antioxidants, one to six cups of tea daily can lower you risk for heart disease and increase your antioxidant status, ok... that´s all for today, have a nice day and follow these important recommendations. Bye.

ANOREXIA


Hi, how it’s going! Today I´m going to talk about a topic which I believe is very interesting, this topic is called “anorexia”, and I think can be of great importance for you, ok.. Anorexia is a nourishing disorder which begins to develop between ages 12 to 14, or later in adolescence, at about age 17, the cause is unknown, I think this illness could be caused by lack of affection, attention, and love on the part of their parents, and person who suffer it, try to attract attention of any way.

The main symptoms are unnatural or obssesive preoccupation with food, dieting and weight, distorted body image and intense fear of gaining weight, cessation of menstrual periods, excesive exercising,inability to concentrate, lack of energy, weakness, fatigue and depression among others, what is more we can find two types of anorexia. The restricting type, it is when the sick lose weight through of the diet, and she/he does excessive excercise, the other type is the binge- eating purshing and it´s more complicated because can be confused with bulimia. The main symptoms in this type are purgue after eating only small amounts of food, and misusing laxatives, diuretics among others, in the same way there are two important points about the treatment for anorexia, first, denial what is usually up to a family member or close friend to recognize the problem and get the patient into treatment, second continued treatment and monitoring is crucial because anorexia is often a chronic and recurring condition.

Finally I think is very important parents give them all his love, attention, and warmth, in this way anorexics will feel better and will have a great success in his/her treatment.

A LAW TO HELP PROTECT EAGLES.


Many species are now in danger of becoming extinct. One of the most importants is “the eagle”, because many people pursue, shoot, poison, wound, kill, capture, to set a trap, collect, molest o disturb, sell, import or export their eggs.

I think a good way to control the problem would be prohibit the sale, possession, export or import of this specie, and I also think that should increased civil penalties, or in other words people who attack these beautiful birds should get a punishment, I believe penalties could include a maximum of six years in prison, laws should be more stricts, in this way people who commit this kind of crimes will learn the lesson and will think before do it. Unfortunately most of people are unconscious and don´t realized they are ruined their natural habitat, depriving them of food and shelter. And is sad to see how a specie disappear, by this reason if you are interesed in helping the eagles you can help them include making monetary donations and supporting groups that help the eagles. I think their situation will improve because of these efforts and with each person who helps, and I believe their chances of surving will be better.

LAST NIGHT I FINALLY DECIDED TO ASK ELISA TO BE MY GIRLFRIEND.


We’ve been sharing so much time together at school and I’ve come to the conclusion that she’s the one, I’d like to get to know in another level. I thought about it for quite some time because if she says “no” I think that’s going to hurt our friendship, but I’ll take the risk.
I love the way we get along, she seems to understand what I think even before I mention it, and exactly the same happens to me when it comes to her thoughts.
We both have been without a significant relationship for some time now and that gave us the opportunity to share time together until I found she was very important to me.
This happened the day we all had a party. Everyone was there when I arrived but not her I felt lonely without her, I suddenly realized I felt incomplete and that´s when I decided to ask her out on a date, I don’t know what her answer is going to be, but it’s going to happen the same If I don’t ask, so, tonight is the night.

Finally I arrived to her house and I gave her a bunch of flowers, she told me “oh, thanks, the flowers are beautiful”, she was very surprised and I tell her “you are the more beautiful of all the flowers”, I felt embarrased and she was blushed, in that moment she realized of my real intentions, after that I ask her if we could go to my favorite restaurant and she told me “yes, of course, let`s go”, I opened her the door of my car and she told me “how nice of you”, after a while we arrived to my favorite restaurant, it was a elegant restaurant,we sat, and we ordered chinese food, the waiter told us “their orders will be ready in a minute”, I was getting very nervous, I spoke in a trembling voice, my hands and my legs were trembling all the time, I didn’t know how to express her my feelings, we were talking about our families, our job and the school, I took to her house, that night I couldn’t express what I feel for her.

After two days she celebrated her birthday in her house, and I brought some chocolates and a teddy bear for her, then I found the time to declare my love to her, I took her by the hand, I couldn’t take my eyes off her, finally I told her what I felt and she told me “I had been waiting this moment a long time ago, after that give us a kiss and now we are very happy together.

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF WATCHING TV.


Hi!, how are you?, I´m fine, ok.. Today I´m going to talk about some advantages and disadvantages of watch TV. I think is a very interesting topic for us, since television to play an important part in our life despite influence of the internet and other technologys of information.

I think one of the most important disadvantages is wasting time, since some people to spend long hours watching tv programmes what are not useful for them, I like to watch tv, but I don´t spend much time in front of this, I spend one or two hours daily when I have time and when I feel bored and I want to see interesting things what happen around the world, but on the other hand I think people who spend long hours in front of the television could do another kind of activities in that time, for example they could practice any sport as for example to play volleyball or to play football, or they also could read books or going to the theatre, among other things, in the same way I think to watch tv is harmful to our eyesight, since our eyes get tired and after we have to wear glasses, I think also people become tv addicts, in the same way I think another disadvantage is when children to see violence acts on the television because it affect their phase of growing, they also try to imitate to the characters.

On the other hand one of the most important advantages of watching tv is that we improve our knowledge, since for example when we watch news or when we watch scientific channels, we have the opportunity of to be well informed about what´s happening around the world, in my personal opinion when we watch news we learn new vocabulary, in this way we improve our cultural heritage. Another advantage is that we get entertainment, many competitions can be watched, I remember when I watched the Olympic Games, I felt really very excited and I could get a lot of fun. I also think with the help of tv it´s possible to learn foreign languages, another advantage is that we can select programmes what we want to see, but I think one important advantage is that we can provide our creativity, because for example when I watch tv I can imagine a lot of things and it help me when I do my homework, ok that´s all see you the next week.

A LESSON IN CARING.




Hi, how are you?, today I’m going to talk about an article what I read and I believe is very important you can learn about it. Ok.. first of all this article talk us about how we should help to needy people from all over the world, I think also if you want to help people, you can find a way of doing something to help them, because they need us.

On the other hand and to my way of thinking I believe that Nora taught an important lesson to her father, and he learnt about it, since she was noticing suffering and poverty in the world, I think Nora is a good person with a great heart, therefore we should follow Nora’s example; I remember one day when I gave toys to poor children, I felt really happy because I realized how they cheered up, I saw their faces fulls of happiness, and it gave me a great satisfaction.

In the same way I think some people volunteer to help others because they are kind-hearted, and they like to make happy to people, since they feel a great emotion, by this reason I believe they are heroes because they carry out an important labour in their lifes, and I think they help to people with all their warmth and love, as well I believe the author and his daughter benefited from the visits because they helped to people to feel better emotionally, also I think he author was motivated to begin doing volunteer work thanks to her daughter because she gives a lot of love to people who more need it.

Finally I think to help to people is the most wonderful around the world.

FEEL COMFORTABLE THAT’S ALL THAT MATTERS.


Hi, how are you?, today I’m going to talk about clothes, first of all, I think before you go any important place, you should choose very well, what kind of clothes you will wear, because it talk very much about your personality, in my personal opinion I think you should wear clothes what you feel comfortable.

On the other hand when people look at me and the clothes I wear, they can get and idea general of the kind of person I’m. For example I like to be in contact with the nature, what is more I’m nature lover, I like to learn new things, In the same way I like to meet new people and I like to visit new places, I’m a supportive person because I enjoy to help to people, I like to practice voleivol, I enjoy to dance, I’m friendly, shy, honest, very polite, but sometimes I’m temperamental, above all I like to be with my family. Therefore, I prefer to wear comfortable clothes like jeans and pretty blouses, but depending the ocasion is how I dress, for example if I have to give a speech at university I try to wear formal clothes but comfortable, and if I go to a big party I wear elegant clothes but comfortable, I like to wear color combinations like red with white, black with pink, beige with red, blue with black,etc.I don’t like extravagant clothes, I prefer clothes with no luxurys, I think that’s why I’m sincere person.

If I wear pretty, formal and elegant clothes it doesn’t mean my clothes aren’t comfortable, ok. I believe that’s all, bye.

WHO IS EVA?


Hi, how are you, today I’m going to talk about a friend who is very special for me, or in other words about my best friend, her name is Eva, and she is someone who is sociable, modest, supportive and she has a good sense of humor, she is not a egotistical, stingy, intolerant person, she also forever is with me when I have troubles, is someone who is very sincere with people, but sometimes is temperamental, she is a good person.

My best friend, eva, and I are different in many ways, but it doesn’t mean that we can’t be great friends; also we have one important thing in common, since when I want to visit any important place or when I want to go shopping she always goes with me.

The differences between Eva and me are significant, in spite of we are studying the same career, she is very talkative and I’m quiet, also she is Christian and I’m Catholic, therefore she likes to listen Christian music and I enjoy listening all kind of music, also I hate to eat a lot of junk food, I prefer having a well balanced diet, and she likes to eat junk food, in the same way we have different customs.

Still, eva and I both love meeting new people, and to make new friends, I discovered this shortly after we met three years ago. One day I invited her to eat in my house and she was talking with my sister for a long time, in that moment I realized she was a friendly person.

Although our personalities are quite different Eva and I are great friends, and we now have a very special friendship, we have shared important moments of our life. I think the main reason for this is that we respect the ideas and opinions of each other.

ALL IN THE FAMILY


Hi! Today I’m going to write about a Topic which I believe is very interesting, but to start with I would like to ask a question, how many siblings do you have? One, two, three or four, because depending the number of siblings you have may seriously affect your life, since according to a Norwegian study older children might suffer a brain tumor and younger children could be gays, in the same way as I understand it first borns obtain more knowledge or intelligence than second borns. For example an oldest child has probability of end up intellectual careers and their also parents offer them more attention than older children. On the other hand second borns and middle children are who make good negotiators and hold a lot of friends and the youngest are more likely to be artistic and creative, but these differences might be caused by childs environment after birth, in my opinion, I’m totally disagree, since I think younger children are more intelligents than older children.
Finally, I believe this topic should be studied with depth, in this way students could retain a wide knowledge.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE COMPUTERS?


Hi! Today I’m going to talk about “the computers”. Ok first of all I think computers are an indispensable tool in our life that allow us to perform different activities, even you can get a lot of entertainment, since you will find interesting games, but on the other hand I believe is important to indicate that people who constantly use computers can suffer serious alterations such as eyestrain, headaches, doble vision and photofobia, among others, therefore I think is very important to follow appropiate measures to avoid manifiest its. For example we could change the screen’s background to a color more bright or we shouldn’t also be near of the screen, we could be to a distance of 15 to 20 centimeters of the computer, by this reason you have to remember that our eyes allow us to see a lot of wonderful things, in this way we can realize different activities, they are essentials for us, we should care them.
Likewise the correct posture for working at a computer is one that provides comfort and circulation to the back, arms, legs and neck.
Finally, you can use the computer, but is important take care of your health.ok that’s all bye.

GENE THERAPY FOR PARKINSON


Hi! How’s it going? Are you enjoying this holiday season? I want the best for you, the best of luck! Ok, changing the subject, today I’m going to talk about the Gene Therapy for Parkinson, but first of all I will give you the definition of Parkinson because I believe is very important you know which is the meaning of this word, although I think you have a general idea about it, ok. Parkinson is a disease what is caused mainly by the loss of neurons in a midbrain part which is called the substantia Nigra, and the substantia nigra is a part of the brain that produce dopamine which is a neurotransmitter present in regions of the brain that regulate movement, emotion, motivation, and the feeling of pleasure, the symptoms importants are slowness of movement, trembling in the hands, arms, legs and jaw, in the same way stiffness of the limbs. I think this disease is a consequence of a lifetime of stress and anxiety, likewise I believe we should have a more relaxed and healthier life.

On the other hand researches have done a great amount of studies and they have stated that Gene Therapy may be a very effective treat for patients with this disease. Gene Therapy consisting of improving motor function and correct the chemical imbalance.

Finally I believe this could be an important topic to be learned in depth for the future.

FORGETTING TO REMEMBER


Hi! How are you? Today I’m going to write about a Topic which I believe will be of interest for you, also I think you can get a surprise, since I was surprised when I read this article, because I used to think that forget important details of our life or forget someone’s name among other things was bad for our health but thanks to this information I changed my way of thinking since according to a study at Stanford University if you can’t remember something or in other words if you are a forgetful person such as when you leave your wallet wherever or where you keep you cell phone and can’t find them, you shouldn’t worry, because forgetting things is not harmful for our brain as most people think. On the contrary it not only helps the brain conserve energy, but also improves our short-term memory and improve efficiency, also a psychologist state that when we want to remember things that are importants, we put much less effort if we have forgotten the things that are not importants.

Finally, I believe this topic is really interesting and should be studied with depth for the future.

Forgetting may be part of the process of remembering.

FINDIND THE CONNECTION


Hi! Today I’m going to write about “the synesthesia”. Do you know what is synesthesia? Ok, as I understand it The synesthesia is when people associate something or a situation with another. For instance: Beth might see the red color as a algebraic symbol, but not everybody have this kind of capacities; people who have these knowledges are able to help scientists in their researchers about cognitives process, also I think synesthetes are more creatives on the contrary people who don’t have this capacity, in the same way I believe to be a synesthete person is a great advantage since many famous people have been labeled as synesthetes on the basis of at least two historical sources.
On the other hand and as my point of view I believe is important to indicate the term mirror-touch synesthesia, it is when synesthetes suffer the pain or happiness of another person: for example, when one person feels depressed then one synesthete will feel exactly same, I think this situation is very similar to sensations which experience the twins.
Finally, I believe this article is very interesting, therefore I would suggest to my classmates what they read about this kind of information.

THE BEST BRAIN FOODS.


Hello! How are you? I’m fine, but I don’t know about what I can write, Ok I know today I’m going to write about a very interesting topic which I found in a magazine while I was reading, since I like to learn new things, also I think this topic will be of real interest for you.

This article talk us about what we should eat to maintain our brain active at all times, since if we don’t have a balanced diet it can influence memory, learning concentration and decision making, in this article I can see a table which show us the function of some foods as well as their nutrients, for example the fish, walnuts, spinach, soybean oil are essentials to build cell membranes, also including Omega – 3 fatty acids, also the fish, chicken, broccoli, rice, turkey, wheat germ, whole – grain bread, are fundamentals for learning and memory formation, likewise milk products, fish, almonds, peanuts, cheese including tyrosine and are importants for alertness and concentration.

On the other hand is important you know that a diet of fast food can cause fatigue, forgetfulness and concentration problems, but one of the most important things which I realized is that you should include fish in your diet, since according to a study children of mothers who had ingested more fish during pregnacy had higher IQ than others children. Ok that’s all bye.

YOUNG COUPLES IN MY COUNTRY WANT TO GET MARRIED


I think should exist a law in our country, which state that the age to get married is starting from 22 years old and if you are too young, then you must have the permission of your parents, since I believe to become married is very important to be a responsible person, and you need to have maturity enough to know how you should act and control your impulses when you have a problem with your couple, would also be very neccesary to have a good job, because it will help to become stable into family. since if you want to have children is very, very important you remember that children implicate quite a lot responsability, what is more they need attention, therefore you should give them a good education, since one reason to get married is to give a good example to sons and daughters and one of the most imporrtant things in a family is love for each other.

On the other hand I think you should know the other person well enough because he/she could change over the years.

In conclusion, first of all to enjoy your life, after that you can choose very well the person who will be your couple for the rest of your life, to get madurity and make the better decisions, finally you can get married and have a good family, because it is the best thing we can do in this life.

CHANGING MAIDEN NAMES


Hi!, at the moment I feel happy because in a week’s time my classmates and I will go away on holiday and really will be fifteen days which we can enjoy with our family, Ok, but changing the subject I’m going to talk about a topic very interesting which talk us about women who would like to keep her maiden names after to get married, in this text, we can see four letters addressed to Ann Lander from different parts of the world such as San Diego, Kansas city and West Hartford, the first letter was written by Mrs. BT- DT, she says that there are few things in life as personal as one’s name and I think she has reason, therefore just because he’s the husband doesn’t give him right to decide which name his wife should use, in other words he should let his future wife to take this kind of decisions and avoid to put pressure her, since I think if a woman take her maiden name it doesn’t mean that she doesn’t love him, also the next letter explain us people never know if matrimony will persist for all life, ok this is my opinion about this topic, see you later, bye.

DO PEOPLE LIKE THEIR FIRST NAMES?




Hi! I think this topic is very interesting, in my opinion Delana is a pretty name even though is unusual and I believe she shouldn’t be worried about it, also Dee sounds nice at least this is how I see it, what is more my name is Patricia but I like everyone call me Patty and I had never felt bad about my name, by the contrary I believe my parents chose the ideal name for me, although when I was in high school my classmates called me patty-pami, but I found it funny, really I don’t took it seriously, on the other hand I do agree with the proffesor Cleveland Kent Evans, since in the same way I think teenagers more than other people concern about their names, likewise they show concern about what other people think of them, in addition to I think that names describe us or in other words names has important meanings which talk about our personality and identify us within of the society also I think when you think about something of your life, the first thing you think of is your name.

For end I think you shouldn’t worry about your name, by the contrary you can find it funny.

NAMING TRADITIONS


I think this text is very interesting because we can know about different naming traditions used by people in some parts of the world, since for example American president Bill Clinton wasn’t well informed about how he should have referred to the Korean president’s wife, also by this reason American president made an error and koreans felt very offended, likewise I believe would be very important learn strategies or ways which help us to avoid this kind of confusions and I think the best way is ask which names a person would prefer to use and if we can’t say it very well, then we could ask the person to help us pronounce that name appropiately, since in this way people will get be in a good working environment, or in other words if people express correctly when they begin a conversation then people will have friendly relations with people from all over the world.
On the other hand in Mexico is different as well, since a woman marries keeps her maiden name, but also she adds the word “of” after of her husband’s name but is evident it cause some problems when someone go to United States and for example writes his/her name, because in that country people don’t have the same naming traditions than in Mexico, also I learned the number of names a person changes with the culture. But I think only should have one or two names.

HOW TO RELAX


Hello! How do you feel? Good or not so good, have you worked hard?, do you feel tired or worried about something? Do you have problems with your family? or with you work? Do you feel very stressed? You don’t worry feel stressed is normal, but I believe when you have a lot of stress is important that you learn how to deal with it, also I think sometimes you should visit a therapist, since they can help you feel a lot of better, but as I see it, the best way to overcome your problems is to find healthy and relaxing things that you like to do, for example you could listen to music, I think in this way you will feel more relaxed and easily you will forget your problems, also if you like dance, then you can practice with someone really it’s a great way to relax your body, also you could do yoga, since not only relaxes your body, but also it help you clear you mind, in the same way you can relax in bed, since when you to fall asleep for long hours your body to take a rest, what is more sleep gives your eyes.

On the other hand you can go swimming, since swimming is great exercise for reducing stress or you can take a warm bath, taking a walk, take a weekend vacation, be patient, don’t try to do more than one thing at a time.

For end I believe would be a good idea to put a little fun into your day.

MY QUALITIES


Hi! How are you today! This day I’m going to write about my qualities.

I think my most positive quality is that I’m very supportive.
I’m the kind of person who likes to help to the people when they more need it, and I always try to give good advices to my friends, in this way they could make better decisions. For example last week my best friend was very worried because she had had some troubles with her family, then I said her that will take her time to think it over and after to talk with my friend she felts better.
On the other hand when I find people in the street very needy of money I give them some coins

I think that to help to the people is the most beautiful around the world.

My most negative quality is that I’m very shy, because I feel embarrased when I’m speaking in front of my classmates or large groups. For example I remember the last semester when I had an exposition about “The structure sentence”, I felt very nervous and embarrased, but the worst of all is that I felt too insecure.
Finally I believe that went a nasty experience, but I want to put it down to experience; I will never forget it because I would like to be more active.
