Learning

Hi,

I took my first English class when I was six years old at a religious school. Back then (or that year), we only started with easy exercises and worksheets. The next year we didn’t have any class and the third year we began regular lessons. Now I believe up and down (sporadic) system (or method) was a totally disaster. Nevertheless, I had been waiting until my twelfth birthday (or, I turned twelve years old) to have my first lessons with a Spanish teacher who spoke only in English. Moreover, I didn’t have time to go to Official Language School because I attended other out-of-school ("after-school" or "extra-curricular" are better words here) activities like solfa (not sure what this is), piano, ballet, painting and diving.

However, when I was a freshman many teachers told us how inefficient ("useless" would be better here) it would be to have a degree in Business Administration if we couldn’t speak English. Realizing (or Hearing) this made me change my behavior about English. It was a key moment for me. In other words, it was when I really met (not sure what you meant here, maybe "was introduced to") English and started to learn on my own.

Hence, At this point, it made me think, over about if I could start learning English again, I would do it absolutely different. I would have probably tried to include English classes in my after-school activities. I would have started watching series and movies in their original versions with subtitles; tried to learn pronunciations and colloquialisms by heart; or just enjoyed going to a bookshop, checking the English books section, and buying an interesting book; and not started doing it in my twenties.** Unfortunately, I can’t change it.

Albeit my close English moment was late (I'm not sure what you meant here). I searched (better: looked for) opportunities to go to study abroad. Thus, last summer I was in Bournemouth (U.K.), it was an amazing experience. I learned so much from the different people from around the world as well as from (or about) the British people and their culture. Also, I was able to improve my communication skills (or, gain confidence in my communication skills and improve them). Besides that, I obtained a scholarship for a week-long intensive English course by the International University of Menendez Pelayo (or, Menendez Pelayo International University).

Henceforth (or, From here on out), I only wish to be able to get better in English every year and keep learning more because languages are endless.

See you mates!

**: This is a really long sentence. We call these "Run-ons" in English. Sometimes they can work. Some English writers use long sentences well. You just have to be very careful about your grammar and sentence structure. For a long list like this, I would add these marks (";", semi-colons) to make the sentence clearer.

Great essay! I see that you're a strong writer. There are some small grammatical things to work on, but great work! Muy bueno.

My article

Hi, I study industrial engineering and I am writing an article about my thesis. Please I need to know if this is understandable.

The Peruvian textiles are recognized internationally for the quality of their natural fibers. (Who? The Peruvian textile industry?) has used this advantage to penetrate demanding markets. However, customers currently demand high-quality products that are also produced in compliance with international standards sustainable development. This is why this article will explain the importance of the design of an integrated management system , aimed at the integration of quality management systems , the security of the supply chain and social responsibility , development productivity , increased efficiency and competitiveness**. Furthermore, it attempts to establish business models of the companies studied, improving the ability to anticipate trends and conducting creative and innovative product development processes.

Investigating the textile sector, analyzing the industry's political, social and economic situation. The study was conducted at 6 major exporters in Lima by evaluating their trend graphs and export volume production processes, from spinning to the packaging. Subsequently, using management tools like the Deming cycle and based on certifications such as ISO 9001:2008, ISO 26000 and WRAP ( social responsibility system for production of clothing) , we designed the implementation model.

Having made this model and analyzed the information (integrated management systems of quality, safety and supply chain social responsibility), we can see the results: the development of procedures cadres for each management system, improving processes and facilitating audits. The greatest benefit was the traceability of processes, because this tool allows one to know the history, location and trajectory of a product or batch of products along the supply chain at any given time.

It is essential that companies change their organizational culture to meet the certification requirements and those to the client. Additionally, management systems should be performed when they are suitably administered together by a leader. Otherwise each system must work separately to strengthen, interact properly with other systems and effectively contribute to the strategic objectives.

Gracias :)

<em>Interesting and complex writing. You clearly have done a lot of research. Good luck in your studies!</em>

Innocent Remark

Seventy years ago, even more, The New York Times predicted that "TV would fail because people wouldn't have time to stare at a screen"! Maybe they thought it was a stupid idea? Jumping to conclusions could be as ugly as sin. They should've jumped into a pool of water instead! Do not jump to conclusions, otherwise, you'll look like a lost chicken in a busy street.

There are benefits to doubts, patience and waiting. If you don't have another agenda, just shut your gob.

Have a nice day!

<em>Great, funny blog entry! I loved it! You're clearly an excellent writer.</em>

A new book

Luna is the name of my little dog, sometimes my family and friends don't understand how can I love so much a pet so much like she was a kid. I have to admit Luna is naughty and anti-social unsociable. This situation has given me some troubles worries... [Or, you could say "This situation has created some problems for me..."]

Last week my brother gave me a single present, a very popular book called "How to Make Your Pet Happy" written by Cesar Millan.
I have just finished to read the first chapter. In this chapter Cesar asserts dogs haven't got [or, "don't have any"] feelings. I was thinking about that the whole day. If that is true then I wonder: can I really make my dog happy? Isn't happiness a feeling, or is it simply a mood?...

[You could add "What a"] contradictory title!
