https://padlet.com/mariaj_sg93/kdl3qm04intr Briefly introduction of my life en-us 2018-09-17 10:27:10 UTC 2025-10-01 15:39:36 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Lovecoffee.png mariaj_sg93 https://padlet.com/mariaj_sg93/kdl3qm04intr/wish/282210257 My name is Maria J. I´m 25 years old and I´m studying English Studies. 
I am from Segovia and I travel by bus every day in order to attend classes at the UAM. Also, I´m working in Madrid on the afternoons. Basically, I spend all my days in Madrid.

I love literature. Since I was a child, I had always love reading. Fun fact: I prefer to read in English because when I read in Spanish it took me more time to understand sentences. 

I like languages, I speak Spanish, English and a little bit of Japanese. But, I found languages quite interesting.

I like walking and listening to music because both things are quite relaxing for me. Although I don´t have a favorite musical genre, it always depends on my mood. 

I don´t have too many time for TV, but I like to watch series and movies. Although I must admit that I use the computer rather than the TV.

Talking about hobbies, I must highlight the importance of writing and drawing. I used to draw a lot years ago but nowadays I don´t have enough time. Nevertheless, when I have time and I feel motivated, I like to draw and to write. I would love to learn how to write properly in English.

If I have to talk about those things I don´t like, I would say liars. I don´t understand why people lie and I would never understand it. Okay, everyone lies in certain moments... But, those kind of people who are always lying...  I don´t like them.

I get bored quite easily.  Nevertheless, all my days are quite similar, but they never follow the same schedule. I wake up,I have breakfast, I take the bus to Madrid, I attend classes, I study, I have lunch, I work, I go back to Segovia,  I have dinner  & I go to bed.

Here I have met lots of people and I have done too many things.

I have met people from different places  (USA, England, France, Bulgaria, Check republic...). I love to meet people from different places because I like to know about different cultures and lifestyles.

Currently, due to my schedule I spend too many hours here. I attend classes, I study and I have lunch here. ]]> 2018-09-17 10:45:29 UTC https://padlet.com/mariaj_sg93/kdl3qm04intr/wish/282215263 mariaj_sg93 https://padlet.com/mariaj_sg93/kdl3qm04intr/wish/282216397 In my spare time I love to meet with my favorite person on earth: my GF. We love to visit new places in Madrid and Segovia. Also, we love to watch series and movies (in English). 

Apart from that, I love to have interesting conversations with my friends; those conversations deal with many different topics ( so I can´t decide just one or two).]]> 2018-09-17 10:48:18 UTC https://padlet.com/mariaj_sg93/kdl3qm04intr/wish/282216397 mariaj_sg93 https://padlet.com/mariaj_sg93/kdl3qm04intr/wish/282222996 This is the place where I was born. It is a small city near Madrid. It is famous because of the Roman aqueduct. Segovia is also well-known because of one of the main meals: the "cochinillo". Also, we have a the Alcazar which is a big castle in which Spanish kings had their summer residence. Supposedly, Walt Disney took it as an inspiration for his logo.

Despite of been my native-city, I don´t want to live there for ever. It is a quiet place and really beautiful but nowadays I think that Madrid is the city which suits more with my lifestyle. ]]> 2018-09-17 11:07:16 UTC https://padlet.com/mariaj_sg93/kdl3qm04intr/wish/282222996 mariaj_sg93 https://padlet.com/mariaj_sg93/kdl3qm04intr/wish/282227638 Since I was a child, I studied English. I can still remember my first English exam, which I failed. I went home that day crying and I told my mother that I would never study English again... 
Nearly 20 years later, I´m about to finish my degree on English Studies. 
I went to a bilingual school and high school where I learnt not only the language but a little bit about the English spoken countries history and culture. It wasn´t until I studied American history that I completely fall in love with English language (I love american English) and American culture. 
Nowadays, I´m studying for the proficiency or C2 exam which is the highest certificate you can have on English language. 
For me, English is more than a language I have been studying for years. I don´t know how to describe it properly but whenever I speak English I feel that I can be 100% myself. I cannot imagine my life without English language. ]]> 2018-09-17 11:20:37 UTC https://padlet.com/mariaj_sg93/kdl3qm04intr/wish/282227638 mariaj_sg93 https://padlet.com/mariaj_sg93/kdl3qm04intr/wish/283810888 She´s my GF and my favorite person on earth. She´s from Florida but lives in Madrid and she´s working as an English teacher.
She´s the most patient person I´ve ever meet and quite intelligent. ]]> 2018-09-20 10:17:39 UTC https://padlet.com/mariaj_sg93/kdl3qm04intr/wish/283810888
