Hope you are doing well, this is my writing practice for today. I did not know what topic I could write about (I was not sure about what topic to write), sometimes nothing comes to my mind, maybe about my interpersonal skills, simulate an interview or translate the news but seeing that I am a little unwilling of I am just going to answer to the question; what are you going to do when the things come back to normal? It is sort of a friend’s question. First I am a person who rather stay at home with my stuff than traveling, even a trip, normally I only go to one place each year, a garden or a park here in my country, mainly because the persons convince me to, not because I do not like experience that, it is because I do not plan and do not want to spend money, I am thinking in changing this pattern and add two o three trips more per year in the future, going to other country sounds more enticing - appealing now. I am determined and I am going to add an account to my budget for this. (I like manage savings.) Notes: 1- When I say ‘even a trip’ I want to say (I mean) going to a near place, not too much plan, (inside my country) 2- Pattern = habit, custom, tradition. Reading I think pattern is not the right word here. Indeed, that is not an honest answer, but it is easier writing than speaking for me, if I would had to say aloud my response without too much time to think I will say: When all the things come back to normal, I want to visit the beach, or I will hang out with my friends because we had plans before the pandemic stroke us.

Some sentences using new vocabulary From July 13 to July 15. Hoof: -Oh! Look at that horse, there is no hoof in its leg, how could it have happened? -Do you know there are goats, wild goats in Argentina that climb steep mountains (dangerous mountains) and they can do it thanks to its hooves. Attainable: -When you set a plan for your future or to learn something you must set attainable objectives to help you see your progress. -After proving his plan was attainable, he were promoted to a high position. Forsake: I am not sure about forsaking Chinese for Italian. Please do not forsake me said the brown little Chihuahua to his owner. Are you aware you will have to forsake your bad habits to join the Army? Landfill: If I were you I would not forsake the dog in a landfill, I better donate it to someone. If I were you I would not forsake the dog in a landfill, I rather donate it to someone. ( I am not sure, both sentences are right but the idea is different? better is a suggestion, rather is what I want to do or I will do) Sidewalk-Walkway More than a sentence this is a question: The sidewalk is a parallel path to the street and the walkway can be any path in any place? The way to school in my town could be dangerous because there are no sidewalks, the children have to walk at the edge of the road-street. I think a walkway with flowers at both sides is a good idea to make our home more beauty. Tom please walk by the walkway or you are going to get your tennis dirty. Mow the lawn. If I were you, I would mow the lawn in the morning, it looks like it will rain in the afternoon. Can you mow the plants in the front part of the house, those plants need love.

The Usura law. Ley de Usura I want to explain this law to someone so I write some ideas about it. The objetive of this law is to reduce the amount of people with legal and financial problems because they cannot pay their credit cards because of the high interest rates. (once they start to have problems with their payment they could not get out of the snowball of interests). And the lay wants to avoid it by reducing the rate and others charges a bank can charge for the credit card, they think with this change many banks will think twice before offering credit cards to people because they will not gain so much interest like nowadays. But there are a real problem now, many people is angry because the banks, specially private banks will have to go over any contract and cancell it or start a new contract but many people say the will not have access to credit because of the law. They say this because the banks will think twice now to offer a card, before they could offer the cards to people without power of purchasing and set a high rate to "avoid-compensate" the risk but now they have a ceiling so many people will no have more credit now. It is difficult to asset if this is a good law or not. there are people talking the citizens without credit will look for ilegal ways of credit with more interest so in the end the law does not help the people. This is the current situation witn this new law, also a private bank fired more than 100 people because they say "the new law will reduce his business and they will need less people to follow the current contratcs". Thanks for your help.

Next March 12 starts mi vacation, I do not have many plans, I do not have much money either so the best thing I can do this time is practice speaking, call it as a intensive time of speaking but for that I need the help of the people here, I hope to receive some messages if you are interested in practice with me. If you learn Java and also would like to share something with me about it I will be grateful because I will learn two things at the same time and that is a good idea. I will here more time..

Should I say to my boss I am looking another job? This is a question I have, Since February 2017 I am working at the same place, a hotel near to my home, but I have learned all the things and the work is repetitive now for me. Also since I started to work there I said I was going to work just a year in the hotel to gain experience, having said that my doubt now is if I should tell him I am going to do this or just look jobs and call off my current contract when I have another. My relatives say, do not say anything (Is this a double negation?) because he could change you or even worse fire you at the first opportunity and it might be that you do not have another option for that moment. But perhaps, he can understand my point of view, I want to improve and climb positions (I could not do this in my current job) so he will help with some dayoff when I need it to attend an interview, give a recommendation letter and another things. Thanks for reading.

Computer and Smartphone Hi, this is a little comparison about my use of these devices. A computer is bigger, heavier and more potent than a Smartphone. A Smartphone is the opposite of that. I use my computer to do things like surfing on internet, doing this on a smartphone is not so good for me, I am not comfortable in the most of the cases with the page view of the browser on a smartphone. Also I read ( I am not used to reading but I am trying to do it more these new year), PDFs neither have a good view on the phone, i am not sure on a iPhone but that is another topic. Writing and practicing excel are another things that I do on my PC, in general working or serious things are done in my computer. The use of my phone is more for reviewing data on apps; check Twitter, Feedly, and messaging. But little by little I am using my phone for more things, Quizlet (an app to make and practice with flashcards is better or easier on my phone, equal on Kindle. Also in the night, when I am lie on the bed is more comfortable in most of the times use my phone than my computer because of the dimensions of this. Obvious on the bus to view videos or listening to podcasts is better the phone. Well, this comparison was simple and for me it does not have so much sense, I do not have so much practice writing but it help me to practice.

Hobbies Hello everyone, I going to tell you about my rutines. I play soccer in my free days. But I am not member of the some team. In the high school (almost 8 years ago) I was in a team of the town, I was member for one a half or two years. And two years ago I was member of the university team for one season, approximately by four or five months. I think that I am a good player but I do not take it seriously so other person replace me soon. Always I have played of defense, In back of the square. I can do almost everything that the position needs but always I fall because I am slim and when the people hits with me I can’t keep stand jajaja. Also I watch tv every day, series like Mozart in the jungle, chasing life, superstore, the big bang theory, two and a half man. Programs of comedy and drama mainly. I watch anime, many kinds of anime, I used to watch three or four chapters by day but lately I only watch one or two chapters by week. I sail in internet a lot of time, visit twitter, facebook and others pages with news. Sometimes a play playstation in my house but it is not mine, only when my friend Walter lend it to me. Ok, they are my hobbies, TV, Soccer, PC and Play. I hope a new hobbie will be speak in English with new friends, see you soon. Bye.
