L o n d o n !

Yay! Let's talk about my favourite place in the world... -some suspense here- ..... LONDON! Haha

I've been there just once, when I was 14 years old. Instead of having this big party (which Latin American people typically have to celebrate their fifteenth birthday), I decided to make my biggest dream (which, at the time, was going to London, England) come true.
The whole experience was absolutely amazing. I travelled with my mum, who cannot speak English at all. She can't even say "Hello!" So, communicating with everyone was up to me, and I was only 14... My English wasn't that good at the time, and as a result, we got lost several times (my favourite "lost experience" was when we caught the bus from Victoria -I think it was that one, I can't remember clearly- and we were there, on the bus all the way to Brixton, we had no idea where we were at, and I was too shy to ask the driver how to go back to the City. My mum went nuts. And basically we spent nearly 3 hours on buses until we were able to come back!! It was fun!).

I loved every inch of what I visited. Everyone was so kind to us, which I did not expect because in my country (where not everybody likes British people), I've always been told that in the UK people are cold and really unfriendly. My experience disproved that. I came back to Argentina with tears in my eyes: I really wanted to stay there forever! Still, I was delighted with my trip.

And now I'm determined to travel again to London, but with friends this time. Then I can share this amazing city with them.

This is how I would say those things: Sentence 1. He is a guy who likes playing sports. (Casually, I would probably say "He's a big sports guy." or "He's really into playing sports.") Sentence 2. I practice several sports in order to keep healthy and fit. Sentence 3. You usually go to the gym, where you run and lift weights. Sentence 4. He has many hobbies, among them practicing sports, hanging out with friends, going to the cinema, shopping, and reading. Sentence 5. She finds great pleasure in going with her younger brother to the park near her house. Sentence 6. You also usually meet with your friends to talk about all kinds of things, such as sports, jokes, and just life in general. Sentence 7. We try to go to dinner at my favorite restaurant once or twice a month. After dinner, we usually go to the cinema.

"You can say *that* again!" When we use this, we put emphasis on the word 'that.' So it's like this: "You can say THAT again!"
