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.
