PAST PERFECT CLASSES (ARE MY EXAMPLES OK?) read pls. and correct.
I haven´t gone to the orphanage since 2 months ago. I was very busy with my business. When I went back to the orphanage, I realized that there were less children than there had been since I went on vacation. There are two places in the orphanage: one is for babies from 1 to 18 months and the other place is for older babies approximately 18 months to 30 months old. So the older babies had gone to another orphanage and the babies of 15 to 18 months moved to the place for the older kids.
It was funny because I usually played with the older babies and walked around the house, and now I am feeding the youngest babies with formula.0 votedApril 6, 20160My hobby
I'm a teenager and one of the thinks that I love to do is play music. I started to play the bass when I was 12 years old and since then I never stopped. I enjoy how the sound can tell more than words ever could and how a few chords can tell you the most beautiful story. I used to think that my bass was a part of me. I gave a name to my bass. I know that's ridiculous, but I also like to think that it has a soul.
In fact, I have 2 basses, and love both as the same.0 votedApril 6, 20161My first entry

Hello!
I still remember the first time I went to a theme park in Madrid with my friends without my parents. I was 17 years old.
I have always been afraid of heights, so I don`t really like the attractions at theme parks. When I went with my friends, I wasn't happy because there was a big rollercoaster that my friends wanted to get on, but of course I didn't. I was too shy to tell them, and finally I got on it. This was one of the worst experience of my life.
Since that day, I have never gotten on a rollercoaster, and never again have I been too shy to tell my friends what things I don´t like.
I think than the good of growing up is this kind of thing. With experiences you lose the embarrassment.
Thanks!0 votedApril 6, 20161- Puedo corregirlo para usted si quiere... My name is Ivan Mendoza I am seeking an opportunity in Delphi in the engineering field. I don't have experience with any big companies but I have knowledge and enthusiasm in different areas of computer science and engineering. I am interested in areas such as Test Engineering, software development and Co-Op Software Development. I am attaching my resume with my information and abilities. Hope you can offer to me the opportunity to have an interview or, if you have a list of your free positions and their requirements, please let me know to see which is the most suitable for my profile and abilities.

Another speaking immersion.
Yesterday I had an English speaking immersion with a native speaker of the language. I had to go to my university to have that interaction. It was terrible because I had to watch random videos about some important stuff for North Americans.
One of those videos talked about landmarks and another one was about American holidays and so on. I didn't watch those videos and when the tutor asked me for a summary of the videos I got confused. I had no idea what to say.
That tutor was very demanding and I thought I did it worse than ever. I couldn't even say a word without making a mistake and she asked me to say either a little introduction of each one of those landmarks or a brief explanation of the American holidays. When I could finally do it, she told me I needed to work on my speaking because it was bad in some aspects.
Do you want to help me to improve my speaking skills in English? I will help you with your Spanish.
Thanks in advance.¡Muy bien!

Hi! My name is Anna and I'll be working on my English the following month. I've decided, that I should write a lot of texts -- that worked quite well for me with German, so I hope this approach will help me with my English too. My first text will be about myself.
As I've already said, my name is Anna. I have been living in Saint-Petersburg since I was a child, but two months ago my family and I moved to Munich. Both my husband and I are software developers. We work for a Russian company that has offices in different countries including Germany. We had an opportunity to move to Munich and decided to take it.
I also have a daughter named Sofia. She is 2 and a half years old.
Sofia and my job take up most of my time, so I do not have a lot of time for hobbies or other activities. But there are some things I really like to do in my spare time.
First of all, I like mountains and everything related to mountains. So practically every weekend we go hiking in some place not far from Munich. Obviously, with Sofia we do not use any difficult routes, but it's still lots of fun for us and also a good opportunity to move a little bit more. As a software developer I sit in a chair for many hours on workdays, and it feels really great to take a nice long walk on the weekend.
Secondly, I have a small hobby of my own -- I like playing a quiz-game called "What? Where? When?" It's rather popular in Russia and there is a small club here in Munich. We usually have meetings on Sundays.
Basically this is all I wanted to say about myself for the first time.Almost perfect! :)

Examples: I tried to get some work done but did not do so well because I got distracted by an interesting news report on the television. I was going to go out but I got sidetracked by all of the chores I had to do at home so I never left. They are not so different, so don't worry if you use them interchangeably :)0 votedAugust 11, 20150
