I finished exams! For three or four weeks I've been telling some of you that I had to study a lot because my exams were near. And now I can say I've finally ended them! I had the last one on Monday. They weren't as good as I'd like to, but I'm happy that I now can relax a bit. The bad thing is that the course is not over, so I have to continue going to class and getting up early until exams come again. That's the student's life! These weeks have been horrible, not only because I had to study, but also because I was (and I am) really demotivated. I have the feeling that none of our teachers like us or our future profession. They still think we're going to be doctors and they only explain us medical concepts. But we're going to be researchers! Anyway, what I wanted to say with this writing is that I'm already able again to practice my English and to help you with your Spanish... at least during some weeks. Contact me if you want :) See you!

The use of "enough" I think I studied this once, but now I can't remember it. When do you have to say "enough"? For example: I don't have money enough I don't have enough money Or both are correct?

Magic Today I'd like to write about what I did last night. My birthday is in July. One of my last birthday presents was a ticket to go to a magic show. I really like magic shows, they make me believe in magic and I feel as if I was a child again. The magician was "Mag Lari", a famous Catalan magician. The show was called "Splenda" and I can say it's the best magic show I've ever seen. He did lots of great tricks, but also there were some dancers that made the show more special. Apart from magic, the thing I liked most about Mag Lari was his sense of humour. I couldn't stop laughing for two hours! I wanted to come back to the theatre today to see the show again... but I couldn't. The show was quite expensive, so the most interesting thing I've done today is watching some of the videos he has on the Internet. I've laughed a lot, but of course it's not the same! I hope he comes again in the future with another show. I'll be the first one to buy a ticket!

Staff is / Staff are What's correct? "Staff is" or "Staff are"? They both sound good to me.

My favourite books I really like reading. In my opinion, it's a really good way to forget about your problems and real life for some hours. It may not sounds good, but sometimes, if I'm sad, I need to think about someone else's problems to feel better. But I'm not such a bad person! So I prefer reading so that the problems are not real :) I love thriller books. I think that this kind of books makes you continue reading until it ends. You can't stop! Some of the books I'd recommend would be the following ones: Firstly, I must write about my favourite writer. He's Spanish and he's called Carlos Ruiz Zafón. I think he's quite famous not only in Spain but also in other countries. His best book is The shadow of the wind. The story that he tells is very interesting and the book is even better because he writes about Barcelona, so I know what he's writting about. It makes you feel that you're part of the story. On the other hand, I also love Swedish thrillers. When I say that, everybody thinks about Stieg Larsson and Millennium, but I read the first book and I didn't really like it as it's too long and he sometimes writes about topics I don't understand (for example, economics). For this reason, my favourite Swedish writer is Camilla Läckberg. I've already read six of her books and I'm waiting for two others, as they're not able in Spanish yet. All of her books are based on a little town in Sweden where some murders take place and police try to find who the murderer is. As you can see, I love reading. In fact, I'd like to read more, but because of university I don't have enough time to read all the books I want to read.

Introducing myself Hello everybody :) I am Beatriz, from Barcelona. I'm 20 and I'm studying Biomedical Sciences at university. What I want to do is to be a researcher and, for this reason, is very important to have a good level in English, as everything in science is in English! I'll have to write articles and maybe I'll have to give some lectures. And all of this, of course, in English. In addition, it's quite difficult to find a job here, in Spain, so I maybe go to work abroad in the future. My native language is Spanish, but I also have a good level of Catalan as I always speak with my friends in that language. Some of my interests are books and music. I love going to concerts or listening to music at home. It's a really good way to relax!
