living in Southampton
A few months ago, i dediced to improve my English so that i looked up a course here in Southampton. it is the first time i have been here and I got here last week. it is as hard experience as i thought. At the moment, i am in intermediate level, though my speaking and listening is not good enough. Even so, i feel a bit blue because i haven´t still made friends, i have many classmates tough, who are much younger than me and i don´t live clote to others. I would like to spend more time with British people because i want to know how it is british culture and why not meeting people who are learning Spanish as well. i don´t know if there is a place where people meet one another to practice both languages. Maybe, i should ask that question in my college. Whatever i hope i have a great time during the next five months.
That is all for now from Southampton.
Greetings

could you give me some advice?
Hi everybody
I'm from Spain and looking forward to going to United Kingdom to prepare to pass the exam by Cambridge (first level) in summer. I looked up by internet but there are loads of companies which offer many possibilities to do it, but i don't know neither which is the best place to do it nor how long i would need to make sure i will pass it. Moreover, i would like to stay with others people who were another nationality because i would want to avoid to speak in Spanish
By the way, now i study to pass the exam PET and i think i have a leve almost intermediate.
What do you think about i should do?
Thanks for your advices.

An experience
Four month ago, I registered on this web to practise my English for my future job. I look up a partner with whom speak and try to open my ears, to sum up to improve it. At the same time, I would want to help to someone to improve her/him Spanish.
So I look up a person who was the same level me and was only learning Spanish because I thought it would be a challenge for us and funny. I have had good luck because I found a person and we spoke loads of days and we could improve too much, above all because of our timetables; in fact, it was very funny. Now, her/him life is very different and we don't speak hardly ever.
Since then, I have noted I'm not so currently as before and that make me sad.
I hope to find someone but it is difficult.

when a bus driver say me boy
when I was a child and had about 9 years old I had an annoyed experience. it may will be funny for you.
it was summer, the weather was hot here but not so much as in Madrid or Barcelona. My curly long and brown was cut because of the decision of my mother because I didn't agree with her.
well, one day, my brother and I took the bus to visited our friends who lived in a village close to our town. we enjoyed ourself the whole of day, in fact it was a lovely day. At the evening, we got on the bus and when I payed my ticked, while the bus driver was gaving me the change, he said “ thanks, boy". I couldn't believed that (or what?) I had heard! I was embarrassed by it. Besides, my brother was behind me laughing and I couldn't to say to bus driver I'm sorry but I'm a girl.
I think he was confused because I didn't wear earrings. Since then, I always wear earrings, even when I
'm in the bed.

About me
I'm Natalia. I'm 34 years old but in a few months I will be 35. I had been working in Navarra, Madrid, Castilla La Mancha and Andorra but, unfortunately, nowadays I'm unemployed and need the certificate B2 to have more opportunities to find work. That is the reason why I study English. Moreover, I think this language is very important because there are loads of people who speak it and it is useful to travel and know how others people think.
In spite of my old jobs, I have learned so much and I hope carry on doing it.
By the way, I not only enjoy cooking, reading and walking but watching films and hanging out with my friends as well.
In the future, I'm looking forward to travelling to visit some place where I have to use English. I'm thinking Prague will be good option.

a joke
I remember a weekend when I went to visit my friend to Madrid. we was still in our twentieth ages.
on Saturday night, we hang out her friends one of whom I met her through this friend. After we had been dinner, we was drinking some beers in a tavern which there was a musicians lived performance.Suddenly, the singer said "now we carry on playing a special song for a person who is called Natalia because today is her birthday". Just then I thought "but she has the same name than me!. where is she?". That was the same question the singer started to ask when my friend and her friends said " here, here" while they pointed me with their arms up and when I said "no, it isn't" no one belived me. Finally, the musicians played the song "happy birthday" and all people sang it.
The best all was the idea was the friend who I met once. Since then, when I saw her she always reminded me this joke.

acquittances or friends lost
I remember when I was a child and was nine. At the school I had a friend very funny. She was going and was always laughing and help to you when you need it. She had a good relation with all colleges. In fact, I went to her house to play so much and her family was very funny.
She had only been at school for two years because after they moved to another city. We were writing each other sometimes but we finally lost touch
I think there were many people in my life who were acquittances or friends and now I don't have any touch with them. Fortunately, mostly of them were good people with me and I have fond memories about different moments which we were together.

my city
I live in a small town. It has a beautyful park which is called "La Dehesa". This isn't very big but it is the most important park and is easy you can find one because it is situated in the middle of the town. Moreover, it has many churchs, shops and taverns. There is a typical food very delicious: "torreznillos". We eat them before having lunch with some drink such as beer, wine or other soft drink.
By the way, living in small town has advantages and disadvantages. On one hand, you don't need to take too your car and my life is more quieter than when I was living in Madrid. In fact, at the same day I can go to work, buy and have a beer with someone, though I have to go on the side of the town. On another hand, it is very difficult if you want to remain anonymous or privacy because there are many people known and you can know much things about others, even though the others you never meet with them!. To sum up, practically everybody can be acquitances not only because others know who you are by your family but also by your friends

my best friend
I'm very succeful because many years ago, concretely when I was a child, I found my best friend. I remembered a year when I was very cross with her because she went at the university in the evening and I went in the morning. Besides, at the weekend I had only seen her for one hour because she always stayed with her boyfriend. This is the reason why I was annoyed. In the course of time, she has showed me to be a good person, above all in my best moments of my life sach as she called me up or wrote a message. She has always worried for how I am. That did I could understand, whatever and wherever, although we can't speak for weeks I know I can tell all my problems.
Sum up, to laugh there are many people but to cry... no.

A dream
Yesterday night I had a strange dream. As custom, I returned at home after going to my English class. These day I'm specially tired. I woke up early and had been running for one hour. Afterward, I took the train to go to my work. Beside, not only I did my tasks but also my work college's task because is her illness, so that I left at the office later than I usually do.
Well, while I did all things, people had in their clothes a different cuadrades of different colours sach as yellow, orange or others. That is mean you could see the languages people could speak and stop they to talk and practice your new language wherever. The most funny was as if all of us were known and didn't have any problem to speak about several maters.
