My Engtlish Teacher at college says we can improve our English by writing to a pen pal.

I got your name from a list that she gave us, and I would like to write to you.

The truth is that for transfer reasons, I am looking for a place to stay.

My family is really small, we are just my parents, my sister and I, we are all of legal age, my parents work and my sister and I study.

Really, we are each responsible for our things, I would like to know about the work of the room, I do not think it is complicated because Mom has taught and educated us.

Additionally, I would like to know about the schedules for the different activities and be able to adjust.

I usually focus on the main activities of the school.

 

Nice to contact you.

Dear Blanca

As you know, I´m going to go to México to stay with you on the Student exchange Program next week.

I´m arriving on flight US 666 at 5:25 a.m. on October 1^st. I wanted to ask you about the things I will need in the school, but I thought it was not essential. I know I can find a lot of things in the supermarkets and also I´ll carry some things with me. 

I have a few questions I need to ask you: first of all, could you pick me up from the airport to your place? I know that´s crazy because I´m getting there at 5 a.m., but my Spanish is not very well, that´s why I´m asking you for thatL. In case you can´t pick me up, can you give me your address, please? 

I know we are going to be focus in the school, but do you know any place where we can have fun? And what do you think about having a tour through the most important places of the city? I really want to know the place where you live, and it´s culture.

I’m worried because my Spanish is really bad and maybe I Won´t understand all the information the teachers are going to give us in the school, so I wonder if you could teach me some Spanish. I´m not a really god student, so I hope don´t give you a lot of trouble.  I really want to improve mi Spanish, that´s why I decided to go exchange.

I have a one more question (this is the last one, I promise youJ), Could you tell me if you think some candy is a good idea, or do you think they would prefer something else? Previously I bought a Coca Cola packet,  I remember you told me they love Coca Cola, and I´m sure they will love this ones, because it´s a package with different Coca Cola flavors like Cheery, Vanilla, etc.

Please tell me if the candies are perfect or if I they would like some else. If you need something from here, told me and I´ll take that to you.

I think that´s it for now. I´m so exciting for meeting you and your family.

Lots of love.

Lalo :)

Thanks for writing.

I definitely think that the communication should be more specific, if you don´t want to have future problems you should  talk about things like these.

Maybe getting to know him a little more time before you get married and sure that his habits have improved.

You so beautifull so in love.

Sincerely Sally

Thanks a lot for your letter. It sounds to me like you are having a hard time. It´s easy to forget when you are in a situation like this, that you are close to get married and the emotion goes before the reality.

According to you letter, I can see that your boyfriend is a good person. You said he is always giving you help and encouragement and that´s something that everybody expect from a relationship.

You wrote me, because you are worried about his bad habits. I put myself in your place and I understand it´s too difficult to be with a person who don´t do the same things we do, or even a person who do something we would never do. 

I can solve your doubt by an easy way. The key is the communication. Sometimes we don´t communicate what we feel, our likes or dislikes because we are worried about what the other person will think about it, but remember that the base of a healthy relationship is the trust between the two parts.

I recommend you to talk with him about what you don´t like. Tell him how you feel about cleaning his mess, and his addictions. By the way you can know if he is the right one to get married. I´m not saying he has to change everything for you, but he can moderate the way he smokes and drinks and you both could clean your apartment together.

I hope what I said help you to solve your problem. I´m here if you need an advice.

Lots of love, Sally.

What I hated the most about my teacher, is that he didn´t give the confidence to speak or participate in class. My classmates were the kind that laugh when someone when someone is wrong or does not use the correct pronunciation and that makes you insecure and you end up hating the language.

 Now it´s really different, because instead the boring
sentences we can write long paragraphs about different topics, but using the grammar we learned before.
 Nowadays we practice a lot of speaking, even we have a class focused on that kind of activities.
 I think the speaking activities are really useful, because we
can learn a lot of vocabulary and the best part is that it appear naturally.

I thought the class was going to be the same than in the past, but now I feel really good, because my new teachers are always supporting me to improve my skills. My classmates are always doing the same and they are really kind.

I think the most important thing when you are learning a new language is the support and confidence that a the teacher give you. That motivates you to be better.

 They say that in asking is giving.

 To be able to ask you, I must tell you that I ´ve behaved very well, this year I helped old people to cross the street, I continue studying although my grades aren´t the best, I already had my anticovid vaccines, I go to church, finally I ´ve behaved very well.

Although you looked bad for some years I´m not angry, but if this year you can satisfay some wishes for me, I ask you for the health of everyone, especially for the health of the people closest to me including my colleague and teachers from LULS.

 This year I hope you enlighten my boss so that he can give me a good salary increase and just in a flash if you want to change my car for a better one. I apreciate it.

 With Love ..... Luisito

Another of my favorite memories in 2021 was when I took my professional test and the news of being approved was crazy.

 

One thing for which I am grateful is for the health, fortunately no one close to me died from covid.
 
Another of the things for which I am grateful is for having a stable job even with social and job difficulties.
 

Mainly I am very grateful to be reunited with my family

One hard lesson that lived this year was that a beloved aunt died.
 

One way I can help others is creating jobs through the family business.

Another way I can help others is giving some help like food, clothes, etc, not money.
 
This year I would like to go to the beaches of cancun, Europe again and South América.

I definitely want to improve my English
 

I want to test my ability to learn fast
I want to try a new specialty
I want to try to save a lot

I am looking for a new job and I'm looking for a new career

Before, I used long curly hair and now I have changed my look, I usually used short hair

I never had the habit of reading, lately I have invested in some books and I am reading almost daily

Some years ago, I used a long beard but for hygiene and work reasons I don´t use a beard any more

In recent years, I have improved my saving habits I have bought some piggy Banks / moneyboxes and I am always saving as much as I can.

I need to make exercise, I need to found the correct time to be able to star.

My hasband and me have been a nice course of “Tasting wines” and we will start a diplomed in this topic in two weeks. We recommend this course because we have been taught to know a Little history of wines  and with wich they can be paired. Is very funny, is only one time of the week  and has served as a relaxation in the middle of the week.

My origins are from a poor family but my thinking has always been that we should not give up despite the different circumstances and always find out how to solve difficult situations we must be patient and always look forward to, we must take care of the most vulnerable and look after the rest, sometimes we will stop being some friends when we fall out but we will always continue look forward to, many times work out on understanding the life.

The products aren´t the cheapest but if it has an average cost

The Crepe Gallery is a place that you really have to visit.

Mochomos is a new restaurant on San Luis Potosi, is located on The Tangente building on the second floor, the place is very nice, The International-style food is innovative. People that visit Mochomos at night can enjoy view the all city.

We order differents dishes to share and we be able to try several options. I recommend taste the root beat carpacho is delicious and it is oblagatory taste the desserts, all the food has a very Good presentation, the unique but is the portions are reduce.

The unique drawback arrive with the account, because was very expensive but the place is very nice and we enjoy the visit. Another drawback is a restaurant where the boys can not enjoy it because it doesn´t have an area where they can play.

I recommend this restaurant for a especial occasion for example: the married anniversary or celebrate a birthday, It´s necesary book before because it is a very visited restaurant.
