My second time in NYC
I'm pretty excited because I will visit my favorite city for the second time in August. I have been in NYC in 2013 with my boyfriend and I fell in love with the city.
This time I'am planning to visit some places I did not visit the last time and I want this travel to be more relaxed since I will stay longer.
I would like to practice English there but I'm really shy therefore It will be hard. Every day I practice with my boyfriend, who is a US citizen, but I think I need to talk with strangers to get along with the language.

TOEFL exam excersices
I'm studying for the TOEFL test, and there are some excercises I have to do.
1) What is your favorite holiday? Use reasons and details to support your response.
My favorite holiday is Christmas because It is an occasion when my hole family are reunited. I enjoy our traditions, for example every Christmas evening we have full of different and delicious meals. The fireworks announce us 12:00 o'clock and it is a beautiful spectacle in the streets. Then, everybody open their presents and the children play around.
That is why Christmas is my favorite holiday, an event that represents the family gathering.
2) Which person has helped you the most to get where you are today, and how has he or she helped you? Use examples to support your response.
The person who has helped me the most is my father. Since the beginning he always has supported me with the decisions I made. In addition he has teached me a lot about my profession since we are going in the same professional direction. Also, he has teached me about my responsability as a professional.
In conclusion I owe him a lot.

My Town
I live in San Miguel de Tucumán, a city located in northern Argentina with 550.000 dwellers.
I could say that my town has a lot of problems, nevertheless I will focus on the great aspects my town has.
First of all, I have to mention food. "Humita", "Empanadas", "Tamales" and "Asado" (argentine barbecue) are some of the delicious meals that I could remark. Those meals, full of calories, can take you to heaven.
Secondly, near the city there are beautiful landscapes, mostly mountains. It is very common in SMT climbing, trekking, paragliding and riding enduro motorcycles.
In addition, this city has a funny and some times hateful aspect: Everybody knows everybody. It is usual when you meet someone that he/she says for example "Oh, your mother is my dentist and your grandfather was the best friend of mine!. Also I think we'd met before when we were kids."
To sum up, in spite of all the problems my town has, I really enjoy the traditions and the familiar faces around here.

English
Learning a language is always difficult because you have to learn to write, speak, read and also think in other language. I had studied english for nine years until 2008, so my english now is very rusted.
For example, I can understand un-subtitled movies and english conversations but when I have to speak or write in english I take a lot of time searching for the best words.
Since two weeks ago I have been studying english again because I want to improve the language and take an international english exam. I know that I have to practice a lot, that is why I attend to a english course and I joined to this english websites as well.

Travel to USA
I travelled to USA in May 2013 and It was the first time I visited a place so far away from my home in Argentina.
Previously I had visited a lot of southamerican countries, therefore this trip was quite different.
I stayed in Manhattan but I visited other cities like Washington, Baltimore, Rockville, etc. I went to a wedding in a little town in Maryland that I enjoyed a lot.
I loved New York the most, It is a wonderful city.
