I have always had contact with the English language. Not as constantly as I have today. My parents were into international music and this sparked my interest as well. The first contact I had with writing was when I started translating the lyrics and trying to understand them. Then I became interested in watching subtitled movies and series, and that's what has helped me improve my speaking and writing practice as well. Currently my biggest difficulty is expanding my vocabulary and being able to form coherent sentences, this interferes with my writing practice as well, so that's where I try harder to improve.

9. Write because it fills the emptiness in your heart or your soul or your pancreas or wherever your particular
emptiness happens to be.

I write for reason number nine. Because most of the time it is the only way to get it off my chest, even though I know no one will read it, and maybe that even comforts me, the fact that no one will really know how I feel. I had some narratives and poems written some time ago.

A few weeks ago I was trying to rewrite them in English to practice my training for longer texts.

In week three we had no activities so we gained more time to review the content and practice.

The proposal for the fourth week of class was that we write a formal e-mail using the verbs presented in class by the teacher. This was a simple, but very important activity that helped us to better understand how to communicate in the academic environment and to ask for help from a more experienced professional.

English writing is more complex than I imagined, but the classes this semester have taught me how to communicate with people and professionals above me without being awkward or rude.
The classes on email writing were essential and I will definitely remember them when I need to go through a similar situation as the ones shown in class in my professional life.

1 - 🤣 I am 1.75 tall (lie, actually I am very small, but I won't say my height because it's embarrassing. My primary school students will think I am a student too. This gif above is me when they ask me my height). lmao

2 -🎶 My favourite songs are the international ones from the 70's. (Yes! I like a lot of old songs, like the ones my mother used to listen to. She loved to buy CD's mixed with different songs. I have them all to this day).

3 - 🎥 I hate fantasy books. (That one is more or less true. Sort of because I used to really like fantasy books, maybe I've had a really strong literary hangover from that genre, but I still really enjoy the movies).
