BLOG FINAL... UFF!!

El presente Blog es una actividad que el Lic. Juan Enrique Cabrales S. nos sugirio esta forma de manejar a aprender a redactar o escribir nuestro Ingles.. A lo mejor no lo escribimos correctamente pero aprendemos practicando, simplemente es una manera distinta de entenderlo.

A mi me parecio una buena idea porque despues de todo me gusto mucho hacer estos blogs, porque a mi en lo personal me sirvio para entender un poco mas el ingles, ademas de que fue mas facil que todos mis compañeros hicieramos algo que nos sirve, porque la verdad hacer horas SAC, siento que perdemos un poco de tiempo, sin quitar la idea de que tambien nos sirve.

Bueno aqui les dejo una pic mia jeje..

Dear Sir of Madam:

Last weekend my girlfriend and I arrived at your popular cafeteria looking for a very nice time to spend together. The motto in you window reads "Where your friends are as special as you are". Unfortunately the service that day didn't reflect those words.

As soon as we arrived there we had the chance to sit at a table and we waited for almost half an hour for a waiter to help us. There were not too many people for this to happen but I have to point out that the music was good and this helped us to be patient. However, when we were finally serviced, the waiter spilt a cup of coffee on my brand new jacket. It costed me $15.00 dollars to have it cleaned.

My jacket doesn't look that good anymore. I have never had an experience such as this anywhere. I hope you can understand my complaint because I want you to refund the money for another brand new jacket.

Sincerely yours,
Rubi Elizabeth Alvarado S.

Dear Sir or Madam:
1 - On July 16 my friends and I arrived at our inn hoping to spend an enjoyable weekend. Unfortunately, because of your poor service, our weekend was a disaster. Since your ad says "have a a fabulous time or get your money back", I am requesting that you refund our money.
2 - From the moment we arrived, there were problems with the service. First, a very unfriendly desk clerk couldn't find our reservation. After waiting almost half an hour, we were led by another unfriendly clerk to our room. The room, which had a view of a parking lot instead of the bay, had not yet been cleaned, so we found dirty towels on the beds and cigarette butts in the ashtrays. Despite these problems, none of your employees apologized to us. This was not the weekend we had been looking forward to.
3 - Service at your inn was not always like this. My previous visists were always enjoyable because of the courteous service and clean rooms with beatuiful views. Until things change at your inn, I will never recommend it to anyone. I expect to recieve my refund shortly.
Sincerely yours,Dale Thomas

Read the composition and choose the best thesis statement.

When I think about high school, I have both good and bad memories. During high school, the future seemed very far away. Now that I'm older, I think about those days a lot. I remember things that I wish I hadn't done or had done differently. I also remember things I did and would never change.
I have only one regret about the time I spent in high school: I should have taken more advanced classes. For example, I had the opportunity to take an advanced English class, but decided to take the regular class. I made that decision because I didn't want to study too hard. I also wanted to spend more time with my friends. Now I'm in college and have to take a beginning English class. I wish I'd studied harder in high school!
I'm glad that I had an opportunity to participate in extracurricular activities. I was a member of the gymnastics team. We practiced every day after school and had competitions on Saturdays. We even won several competitions! My teammates became my good friends. Now I know that extracurricular activities are important because you can learn about responsability, discipline, and teamwork.
Good and bad experiences are a part of everyone's high school years. Is it possible to learn from these experiences? I think it is because even the bad ones help to prepare you for the future.

BEGINNING NEW PARAGRAPHS

Lucy Gomez is the most creative person I know.She started piano lessons when she was only 6 years old. At school, she was always creating intetesting projects in her art class. When she was only 12 years old, she won a citywide poetry contest. Her parents were very proud of her.
Now Lucy works as a sitcom writer for a popular TV show. She works with a group of writers, and together they have to think of fresh ideas. They also have to come up with funny dialog for the actors on their show because the actors have to play believable characters that will make the audience laugh. It is not an easy job, but Lucy does it well.
She starts work late in the morning and often works until 1 or 8 at night.
Lucy is very curious. She likes to travel and meet new people who have opinions that are different from hers. She often carries a notebook with her and writes down what she sees and hears. Lucy tell me that these new experiences are a good source of ideas for her work. I always enjoy talking to her and am happy to know someone as bright and creative as Lucy

MY TRIP TO CANCUN

I traveled to Cancun when I was 16 years old. This was a birthday gift from my father. He lives in Campeche because he works in that city. On the trip I invited my best friend from high school. His name is Anali. We had a fun. We stayed at the hotel "Maria Lourdes". This a very beatufy hotel and has a big swimming pool. we visited the interactive Aquarium and Playa del Carmen. In the Aquarium you can touch starfishes, feed tiger sharks with the help of a aquarium professional and swim with dolphins. Personally, what I liked the most of the Cancun beach is its blue water and the white sand. It was one of my favorites trips. I think I'll always remember it...
