I've recently been working, studying, and learning English at the same time and I reckon that this kind of routine should be just temporal, not for several months.

In spite of being overwhelmed and up to my eyeballs, I slot in my routine some tiny time for doing english activities, those which I consider they help me to improve, which from now are: the Gossip girl  TV serie and a romantic novel called The Woman He loved before, which I'm still reading. As I agreed, I will devote time to share my advancement here. Best wishes.]]> 2017-01-31 18:32:08 UTC https://padlet.com/ananglez1995/h622ycsyfnl2/wish/150637711 ananglez1995 https://padlet.com/ananglez1995/h622ycsyfnl2/wish/152402896 Once I've finished with the book I read the previous months, I feel myself better because of the improvement I achieved. With the aim of getting fluency at the time I'm reading, I learned more than just  this. I post here a short summary of the plot:

This novel is a great choice if you're looking for a smart one because it has appealing characters and you can find yourself invested in this story from the first page.Libby is the main character of this story, she is in love with Jack, the guy she would never thought she will fall in love with. Jack has some secrets in his past, namely his relationship with his ex-wife Eve. Libby tried to respect his boyfriend's wishes but after having a hard car accident she realized that perhaps Jack haven't forgotten his exgirlfriend yet, so here launchs the main conflict of the novel.

Afterwards, Libby gets obsessed with that and consequently needed to investigate everything so as to calm herself. The thing impacted me more was that she discovered that Jack murdered Eve and the next one would be his wife Libby. It was for me striking because this wasn't predictable. 

Besides, "The woman he loved before" was intriguing as well because the other part of the plot was related to explain Eve's awkward past and the author Koomson brings up many different issues through her retelling of Eve's experiences.

Finally, I would strongly recommend this book for the ones who feel devotion with romantic stories and comedy at some point. ]]> 2017-02-08 10:05:48 UTC https://padlet.com/ananglez1995/h622ycsyfnl2/wish/152402896 ananglez1995 https://padlet.com/ananglez1995/h622ycsyfnl2/wish/166820984 Almost two years ago, I travelled to Exeter, the place were I was in touch with English language daily and made me improve a lot. Due to my living during a few months there, where I could discover myself by means of having my own free time to disconnect, I came across spontaneously with Bogi, who is from Budapest and she worked in the same hostelry bussiness as me. Having come back to Spain, I kept having contact with her and moreover, nowadays I still making Skype calls as well as typing her almost everyday, and what's more she travelled to Barcelona last summer for 2 weeks, an intense experience which turned out to be the funniest one as same as profitable in terms of improving my English. ]]> 2017-04-18 16:57:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ananglez1995/h622ycsyfnl2/wish/166820984 ananglez1995 https://padlet.com/ananglez1995/h622ycsyfnl2/wish/166830598 "You don't know you're not able to do something until the point you've done it", that's the expression which came up to my mind when I realized that yesterday I was talking by skype during one hour and a half with Bogi, an activity that indirectly served me to practice my speaking skill. 

The truth is that we keep in touch often, but the process of buying my airplane tikets for Budapest this summer is the reason why our conversation was longer than usually. 

It's important to open your borders to new adventures, that journey will imply a great progress for my learning curve in this language.]]> 2017-04-18 17:25:48 UTC https://padlet.com/ananglez1995/h622ycsyfnl2/wish/166830598 ananglez1995 https://padlet.com/ananglez1995/h622ycsyfnl2/wish/166839025 Due to te fact of being a busy girl and feel overworked often, I try to slot in my routine a bit of English almost daily. So, before going to sleep, I try to listen to an interesting Ted Talk so as to get a sense of belonging with the language before nodding of. 

Otherwise, If I've had a full day, I try to change that and watch a short chapter of Sex in New York or other kind of comedy TV serie, which is slightly amusing.]]> 2017-04-18 17:52:41 UTC https://padlet.com/ananglez1995/h622ycsyfnl2/wish/166839025 ananglez1995 https://padlet.com/ananglez1995/h622ycsyfnl2/wish/166957460 My little sister had an exchange months ago in Dinamarca. The reason why this week I've been constantly in touch with the language finds its reason in Anne's arrival to Barcelona. So this week have been full of visits to the Graffiti Boom, the Flea Market, different restaurants... the best one was the first of them because the urban culture shows to the guests how the city is an open air art gallery showcasing local street art and graffiti from some of the best in the world, which was cool and enough interesting.]]> 2017-04-19 09:06:50 UTC https://padlet.com/ananglez1995/h622ycsyfnl2/wish/166957460 ananglez1995 https://padlet.com/ananglez1995/h622ycsyfnl2/wish/166961336 I could have never imagine myself in front of the laptop for so long trying to search for one specific-suitable article within the whole quantity of them. 

This act can be categorized as the process of doing my degree's final project which is at the same time the responsible of my eye bags.

Obviously are not in Spanish, so step by step I'm focusing on new vocabulary connected with the cryminal justice sistem and it's consequences to the population, which I'm about to end up and hopefully I've acquire new background, as an english learner in progress I am.]]> 2017-04-19 09:32:10 UTC https://padlet.com/ananglez1995/h622ycsyfnl2/wish/166961336 ananglez1995 https://padlet.com/ananglez1995/h622ycsyfnl2/wish/167220224 I personally consider myself as a vague but restless girl, being both adjectives dissimilar between them. 

However, I strongly believe that we must slot in our routine a bit of peacefulness from time to time so as to avoid being loaded or feeling in over our head  because of our responsabilities, liabilities, daily conflicts and so on. 

That's why at least I came up with a free day so as to solely devote time to stem the inflow: At the moorning, I booked one-hour massage in a known-privilege-beauty shop located in the centre of Barcelona, where I could have the pleasure of enjoying the best form to care my mind despite the thunderstorm I was listening background.

Afterwards, I took my free afternoon to lie on the sofa at the same time I was doing something profitable in terms of improving my language: an eight-hours marathon of "How I met your mother" which lead me drift off to sleep with the sound of the rain background again; another sensation which made me feel totally relaxed. ]]> 2017-04-20 10:43:08 UTC https://padlet.com/ananglez1995/h622ycsyfnl2/wish/167220224 ananglez1995 https://padlet.com/ananglez1995/h622ycsyfnl2/wish/167554207 Today I attended to my first speaking corner. I reckon that I should have gone more times but l'm a messy girl and It's particularly complicated for me to organizate my labours. Actually, shooting the breeze for a while with my mates lying at EOI's sofas  it's an infrequent form of hanging out outside class. ]]> 2017-04-21 17:47:42 UTC https://padlet.com/ananglez1995/h622ycsyfnl2/wish/167554207 ananglez1995 https://padlet.com/ananglez1995/h622ycsyfnl2/wish/167559152 Last class I assisted to the fourth Friday at EOI, which forms part of the ordinary evaluation but in a not-coloquial way. I'd hazard a guess that it's created to provide tools for the students in order to enhance our skills, which is a dynamic and distinctive manner because sometimes wehave a tendency to take for granted that we're conscious of how to pick up with our language, and that's not simple when we're in a high level. So, it was entirely refreshing somehow.]]> 2017-04-21 18:04:10 UTC https://padlet.com/ananglez1995/h622ycsyfnl2/wish/167559152 ananglez1995 https://padlet.com/ananglez1995/h622ycsyfnl2/wish/168162479 This week I've been with my classmate Laia pulling our weight in terms of speaking so as to end up our hard learning curve during this course. So we met two hours after our ordinary classes of Tuesday and Thursday so as to put in common different ideas to talk about connected with the topics that could appear in the speaking task. 

Besides, we trained it repeatedly in order to bond as a speaking couple. Actually, we planned to slot in our diaries more afternoons to devote more time for the activity with the aim of making an extra effort for trying to get the C1 certificate. I post here some speaking tips that show a bit of our progress and I'll post on the next one all of them completed. ]]> 2017-04-25 16:32:45 UTC https://padlet.com/ananglez1995/h622ycsyfnl2/wish/168162479 ananglez1995 https://padlet.com/ananglez1995/h622ycsyfnl2/wish/168171482 On 25th of February, my friend turned to twenty years. That's why I didn't hesitate to called her ruthlessly by skype and we were talking for long reminiscing about our old memories together.]]> 2017-04-25 16:59:33 UTC https://padlet.com/ananglez1995/h622ycsyfnl2/wish/168171482 ananglez1995 https://padlet.com/ananglez1995/h622ycsyfnl2/wish/168177415 That free week I took advantatge of my free time and trying to relax my mind a bit  I watched  two chapter seasons of theTV serie named as pretty little liars, which is a  American teen drama mystery thriller television TV serie that follows the lives of four girls: Spencer, Aria, Hanna and Emily, whose clique falls apart after the alleged murder of their leader, Alison. So, they begin receiving messages from a mysterious villain named "A" who threatens and tortures them for the mistakes they made before and after Alison was alive. This serie basically explains their funny but mysterious adventures towards the finding of their disappeared old friend. ]]> 2017-04-25 17:18:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ananglez1995/h622ycsyfnl2/wish/168177415 ananglez1995 https://padlet.com/ananglez1995/h622ycsyfnl2/wish/169192316 This weekend I've been revising last year books while taking notes of some relevant expressions that would be interesting to take in mind so as to deal with the exam. I ought to confess that I'm a bit restless because this month will be full of exams and I won't have much free time for resting. But.. as the expression refers: the more you work hard, the more you gill get, and obviously, the recompenses will best enjoyed. Because there is no better feeling than being satisfied because of obtaining what you deserve. ]]> 2017-05-01 15:05:00 UTC https://padlet.com/ananglez1995/h622ycsyfnl2/wish/169192316 ananglez1995 https://padlet.com/ananglez1995/h622ycsyfnl2/wish/169196016 For me it's a pleasure working as a hostess because I have the chance to practice my English. As a hostess you're responsible of many things depending on the position you're working for: you need to cheerfully greet guests, take the to their table or appreciate them for being there. 

I worked for many agencies which payed me not bad at all, but for forming part of that companies I had to attend to various interviews and make a protocol course so as to learn polite manners of treating the clients, that most part of the times they're people of a high social status, so it's required an educated attitude and a good presence with a dapper uniform provided by the business according to the type of event. 

That's another way of improving not just your curriculum vitae by the way of showing that you know how to deal with business environment and to treat with high class people, but also aids you to enhance your language because it's common that in international events are requested hostess with an English Certificate and some exclusive characteristics related with an specific height or hair tone chosen by the events' organizer.

I worked for the Mobile Congress in BCN, for a conference in Plaza Catalunya helping the staff with the organization, in a congress located in Hilton Hotel, in various fairs having to stay in a stand greeting people and in some football matches in Camp Nou. One of the reasons why I got my fluency was due to the fact that I had no option for not practicing it. ]]> 2017-05-01 15:15:58 UTC https://padlet.com/ananglez1995/h622ycsyfnl2/wish/169196016 ananglez1995 https://padlet.com/ananglez1995/h622ycsyfnl2/wish/169897027 I must say good bye to my personal blog, which has covered mostly all my activities connected with enhancing my language. I ought to asume that I haven't dedicated all the time required just because I haven't had in off time in my full diary. However, I've attempted to achieve it and surely I've improved at least a bit than previously. I pledged to attach the other part of my speaking activity with my trainer Laia but we've slot in our routine to meet together today and I must end up right now the Art Dossier. After the exam, I'll feel like a huge weight has lifted off from my shoulders! 

Hope you've enjoyed my learning curve,

King regards.

That was the place where everything used to feel nothing to me.
