Hi everyone, I think the most effective way to improve your fluent in English is speaking in a relax and funny way, so I'm here looking for people to help me achieving it. I'm an open-minded person that enjoy meeting people. I'm married and I have two daughters, my little princesses. I like going to the countryside, running, cycling, and, it goes without saying learning languages. If you're looking for pretty much the same thing but in Spanish, don't hesitate to contact me. Regards,

Today was our first lesson together and so we started by introducing ourselves and you explained to me why you wish to improve your English language skills. After that, I explained the methodology and how we use Google Docs for an interactive experience. It was a pleasure to meet you and I hope that you enjoyed the class and return for more in the future. See you in the next lesson!

    Proposal for Cadiz to improve transport and housing facilities. Problems with transport and housing facilities. Nowadays the city of Cadiz has several problems of transport. The main complain of the bus users is the price. Cadiz is a small city, has the most high rate of unemployment in Spain and the commutes are quite short, less than 7 km, so users don't understand why the price of the transport is so expensive. The reason why it is not more economical is because the bus company is private and they don't have competence because of the not existence of the others kind of transports like subway due to the lack of space in the city. They decide the price of the ticket, and every year it gets higher and higher. Respect of housing facilities, Cadiz has not space to build so the price of the buildings is higher than in near cities. Young people have to buy their houses out of Cadiz because they cannot afford the price of houses in Cadiz, and the population in Cadiz is getting older. How they can be improved. A grant could be used to reduce the cost of the bus ticket, for instance creating family ticket for families that all of their members were unemployed, and boosting the company to hire worker from Cadiz to reduce the sadly high unemployment rate. Furthermore, the grant could be invested to build more government houses that ease the young people access, which will do people in work age stay at Cadiz, keeping the wealth in the City and not translating it to the near towns. It goes without saying that such a government houses should be built for companies that hire workers from Cadiz. I urge to the Planning Director to invest the grant in measures that improve transport and housing facilities, which should help to create employments that is the most important issue in Cadiz.

    What is the most popular TV show in your country? “Casados a primera vista”, it could be translated as “Married at first sight”, is one of the most popular show in the current Spanish TV. It is a kind of quiz where several couples that have ever met before get quickly married and have to know each other in depth after the wedding. The argument is very impressive and captures the attention of spectators because there are a lot of question that bears in mind, how can 2 people that haven’t known their characters get married and keep together for the rest of their lives? How will live together be? How will the wedding night be? Will their family be able to get on well easily?… It has become so popular because people like guessing which couples will stand together. Firstly, spectators can discuss if the couple fits well by mean of their physical appearance. Secondly, they can tell if their characters are similar and they can get along. And last, they can discuss their relatives if they even could break the couple. There is no doubt that the program deserves its popularity because the concept is really new and people love watching new things, although the main reason why it has reached success is because most people like gossips and enjoy knowing private aspects of the lives of others.

    Do you think fashion reflects how people live? Do you think fashion reflects how people live? I agree with this statement to a certain extent, but not entirely. For instance, in the last decade you can tell how people around the world are wearing similar clothes, so fashion is reflecting the current globalization we are living. Time ago you could see how people from different countries with different politic situation wore in a different way. This change has not appeared in the poorest countries, where they have another priorities and less access to foreign news. To tell the truth, I have noticed two different kind of fashion in the world. In one hand, we have the fashion you see in the street and on the other hand, the fashion in the parade of the famous brand with thin models and that kind of stuff. I would say that the fashion in the street reflects how people live, but the fashion in parade is only for richest people that want to show his status wearing the most expensive clothes in parties and social events. To sum up, I want to notice how fashion brands, cheer people up spending money and buying clothes that they don’t really need, in order to increase selfishly their profits.

    Careers conference The conference was really useful, the facilities were great and the organizer met the schedule with great punctuality, although the agenda was a bit of intense, attendants could hardly keep their attention in afternoon hours. There was really interesting talks, most of them were based in science or technical careers, so some language or philosophical careers were missed. It had been better to balance the amount of both types of careers, in order to cover the actual job market. The talks were well made with enough media means that made them easy to follow, and the speakers had a wide experience giving speeches, so it was easy audience got hooked on interest and entertainment way. In the question time, there were problems because of the number of questions and the experts to answer them. The consequence was too many questions left without answer. This problem could have been corrected easily if the organization had increased the number of experts for each talk. In the other hand, experts gave their contact details in order people could contact them by mail, so they could send them their question. In my opinion, the conference was great, I enjoyed it a lot, and get different points of view about careers in which I have interest, although I was lucky because my main interest is on science and technical careers, other people with different interest may think differently.

    I have a lot of favorite books, because you can learn and enjoy in each reading if you really love reading. But my last favorite book is "Touching the void" by Joe Simpson, a story of how people get over difficult situation as when die is near, the book is about climbing. I'm not an appasionate of climbing but this novel hooked me. Regards,

    First of all I have to say I'm from Spain and I will correct your writting as if I had written it. I think people from South America will write it in other way.

     

    Parte de una historia que escribí

    Hace 4 años viajé a <em>la </em>India por primera vez. Una mañana fui a la estación para pillar<em>(it sounds really informal better use coger</em>) mi tren. En cuanto entrase <em>entré en</em> la estación me di cuenta de que iba a ser un día inolvidable. Dentro de la estación había gente durmiendo a todos lados. Además, <em>¡</em>muchos de ellos estaban durmiendo con perros de la calle! Hay que reconocer que muchas de esas personas no tenían hogares. Solo dormían allí para evitar las afueras. Pues recibieron bien los perros a fin de mantenerse el calor <em>Los perros eran bien recibidos porque les daban calor</em>. Para mi era una escena increíble. Caminé por ellos para llegar al fondo de donde salían los trenes. Llegué al andén y vi la misma escena que vi dentro: gente y perros a todos lados durmiendo.

    Caminaba por la locura cuando decidí aprovechar una bebida caliente que hasta entonces no había intentado <em>probado</em>. A final de cuentas, hacía mucho frío y <em>no </em>tenía nada que perder. En ese mismo minuto <em>(I'd say "momento" instead "minuto" but it's correct too)</em> la bebida, que se llamaba "chai", se convirtió en una de mis cosas favoritas de <em>la </em>India. En caso de que no <em>lo </em>sepas, es té hecho con especias, leche, y bastante azúcar. Para mi es <em>está </em>(although you can use both, this sound more natural) increíble. A partir de ese momento, me disfruté de cientos <em>de </em>vasos de chai durante mi estancia. Lo bueno es que se ofrecía en <em>(I'd say "por" instead "en" but it's correct too)</em> todos lados. Era una parte importante de la cultura.

    Bueno, me disfruté de ese vaso de chai mientras miraba la locura a mis alrededores <em>(sounds better in singular)</em>. Dentro de unos minutos llegó mi tren. Abordé <em>(this is what pirates do "to board")</em> <em>Subí </em>al tren, pero no antes de conseguir otro vaso para el viaje. Luego encontré mi asiento y me hice <em>puse</em> cómodo. Durante las 10 horas del viaje me encantaba cada vez más el país y lo que le ofrecía a un viajero. De <em>Desde</em> las ventanas y puertas abiertas podía ver las vidas diarias <em>(for abstract concept better use singular)</em>  de los que vivían a unos metros del ferrocarril. Del tren podía aprender un poquito sobre lo que era vivir en <em>la </em>pobreza en <em>la </em>India.

    Lo que más me encantaba fue que a <em>por</em> todas las estaciones por <em>d</em>el camino hombres subían al tren para vender chai y comida típica y todo estaba bien sabros<em>o</em> y distint<em>o</em>.

    Gracias por corregirme! Por favor no duden en corregir o cambiar cualquier oración o error.

     

    <em>Great job! Only a few mistakes that not modify the meaning of the text.</em>
