Super simple songs


In my writing class, I´m learning many important and interesting things to improve my English as for example: how to write essays in a correct way. Furthermore, I have discovered one new way to learn English expressions and words that you have to know.

Usually, I listen to all kind of music, but last months I have been listening super simple songs for little kids. These songs are being very interesting to improve me English. You can think that I´m crazy; however, they use a simple vocabulary easy to understand, and they use a lot of pictures and videos matching the words with the images.

If you want to try you can go to youtube.com and to look for “super simple songs”, there you will find some of them songs. My favorites are: five little monkeys jumping on the bed, Bingo was his name, ten in the bed, and the incy wincy spider.

Take care.

The summer

The summer is coming and some different possibilities to choose what do are open. Students love summer because they can enjoy a lot of free time, but on the contrary to Spain in the US we can take classes during summer semester.

 Certainly, we can choose take a rest, or to continue studying. It will be interesting to continue studying because I may improve may English a little bit more. However, people say that summer semester at college is very hard and many students don´t pass their classes. I can imagine that summer semester at college will be hard after all the year studying and working hard to pass the classes, so to continue two more months trying to study the same amount of information than in a regular semester should be real hard.

On the other hand, resting is a very good option to recharge batteries and come back to college after summer. On summer we can do a lot of different things, for the weather let us to enjoy the beach, friends, sports and the city. So I think that the better option will be take a period of vacations to have fun and rest, because I think that summer is to enjoy.

Take care.

get used to living in the.U.S

            Dear readers,
         
            After seeing last classmate`s paragraph, I get some same

feeling now. I am going to tell you my experience before I left from

China. I came here at April,4,2011. In other words, I have been 

here more than 1 year right now. The most happy time in my life is

my high school life. My grade was really bad when I was in middle

school. By the way, middle school is between elementary school

and high school, it costs 3 years.  So that I always feel I was a bad

boy at that time. But, in my high school, everything was changed.

My grade is No.1 in my class. I felt really full and happy at that time. The honor that belongs to me is

the biggest wealth in my life. I spent everyday with my friends, classmates, teachers, families. That is

all of my life at that moment. We studied hard together, played crazy together, traveled together.

Everything is together with all of my friends, families. To be honest, life in high school in China is

really really hard. You can not imagine it. But, all of us want just go back to that time. Just go back,

does not matter exam or test. Even just one day is enough. It is hard, because we study hard, and  

long time everyday. Dear readers, you must have your own the most happy time that in your life.

Everyone at here should miss it a lot. Maybe in your dream, maybe in your free time. Maye you cry,

maybe you smile. But, that is the time that we really want go back. Finally, I hope everyone in our

class can treat here is our home.

Way of life

Dear readers, we are almost ending the semester, so today I would like to tell you something more about me. Before to come to the US almost three months ago, I was living in Spain, I had my job, my friends, my family and all the things that I needed to live. However, I decided to come to the US trying to improve my life and change my way of life, so I’m going to tell you a single day in my past life.

 I was working as manager of a sport complex at Spain, so I was working for people entertainment. I used to work every day from 3pm to 11pm, so I arrived at home very late at night. In addition, I had my free time during the week in the morning, but some days I had to go in the mornings to work too, so. I used to spend my free time in the mornings to go shopping food, to make my house work, and practicing sports.

 When I arrived to Chicago, the change was radical, not only for the language, the way of life it is very different here too. I had to change my customs, so now I wake up very early in the morning, and spend all the morning at college. Later, when I arrived at home I do my homework, and I go shopping or to the gym. In addition, I spend the rest of the day at home having a dinner, watching TV, or surfing internet.

Certainly, my life is very different to it was in Spain, and I miss a lot of things, but I’m learning a lot of things here about English, American life, and about me too. I hope to enjoy my time here all I can, and feel the US like my home country.

 Take care.
