    Hi everybody

    Hi folks. how is it going? I have been away from this website and skype due to my grandmother breaking her hips and I don't know yet what's will happen to her.
    Well I want to improve my English and to learn the language more, I'd like to improve my grammar and pronunciation. I feel that I know the language but my vocabulary is very simple for me.
    I feel that I have to check on the dictionary for the words on the internet or well I avoid those words and I try to understand what I know. I don't know, what do you think? But I think that sometimes I have to skip the words in English because I don't have the desire to check them later.

    Lost suitcase.

    When I was travelling in Argentina I lost my suitcase.

    In this suitcase I had all my things, including my passport, which I needed to travel around the country.

    I had to go to a policeman and explaines my situation.

    Argentina is very beautiful but I didn't enjoy it a lot my first week.

    I had to make a new passport, I bought new clothes and came to report to the police that my suitcase had been stolen in order to make a new passport.

    After I finished all that, I enjoyed myself a lot. We visited Iguzu falls, Perito Moreno glaciers and Buenos Aires.

    I hope to return one day.

    Hi Patri, I would translate that as 'I've had a very active childhood'. Generally, when you say someone is active you mean it from a physical point of view, meaning they get involved in a lot of sports/dancing/etc as opposed to being sedentary :) Also, if you are talking about traveling a lot you can also say 'I've had a childhood on the run/on the move' by which you mean that you were never rooted in one place and kept changing your location. Hope this helps! Alex

    Best way to translate 'already' What's the best way to translate in Spanish 'I already didn't want to do it anyway' ? I am particularly interested in the 'already' construction as the only translation I can find online for this is the word 'ya' which I'm not sure would work in this sentence.. Thanks!

    Never again

    Last Summer I achieved a grant to assist a microbiology congress in Barcelona. When I arrived to the residence that the organization commitee had arranged for us I met a lot of young interesting people. Soon, all we got close and spent the days attending conferences and the nights going to pubs and discos. Last day, four of us attended a gala dinner to celebrate the end of the congress. Going out that night wasn't in my plans because I knew I would have to arrive at 5:30 am at the airport. But I couldn't disappoint my new friends on the last night. We had a great time talking, dancing and drinking until we agreed to go back to the residence. It was already 5 am so I called for a taxi, grabbed my bag and gave my party mates/friends a big hug. The taxi journey wasn't nice because I was so tired, the temperature inside was too warm and the car driver, even though he was nice, he was very talkative too and I only could think about sleeping. When we got to the airport and I felt the fresh air outside the car, I felt alive again. I passed the luggage control and looked for a screen to see my flight gate. It still took twenty minutes to assign the gate number to my flight. It was in that moment when I made a terrible mistake. I was tired, so I sat on the floor with my back against the wall. I guess I was so comfortable because I fell asleep and didn't wake up until seven o'clock. When I opened my eyes I knew something bad was happening but It took around thirty seconds to realize that my flight was gone. I think a normal person would get mad or angry or nervous, but I'm a very calm person and I was hungry, so I decided to go for a coffee and a chocolate muffin. Once the caffeine started to do its job, I went to an airport desk to try to get a new free flight with the same company. There were two men and I chose the one with the bigger smile. I told him about my situation, I prefered to tell him the truth because I'm not a good liar and I thought that my story was stupid but believable. And It was! He was half feeling sorry for me and half laughing in my face. He told me that when it was the passenger's fault, they weren't obliged to give them a new flight. However he asked me for my phone number and said that If the next flight to my city had a free/vacant seat, he would call me. I stayed at the airport, I didn't have enough money to buy a new flight and I didn't want to ask anybody for it. Luckily, the man kept his promise and five hours later I was flying home.

    Politics

    Politics is the most important area of our life. We are all watching how rapid the political processes are in our country and around the world. Some policies even become a matter of life and death. I've never been interested in politics, but I think it plays a huge role in the development of society. Firstly, the structure of society determines the existing political structure. Secondly, the presence of different political institutions implies a certain direction in the development of society. For example, the existence of political parties suggests that in such a society there is a democracy, and therefore the members of this society have the opportunity to influence the political situation in the country. Thirdly, the policy keeps order in the state. And (never start a sentence with 'and') This is indeed true, one of the main functions of the policy being the control of social processes and the regulation of public relations. In addition, the policy should represent the interests of different social groups.

    Trabajo y otras cosas Hoy hace medio mes desde que he empezado mi primero trabajo serioso. Hasta ahora, he tenido muchas puestas pero solamente temporarios y como no tenía contractos, podía irme o elegir de no trabajar sí no quería, así que esto se siente muy diferente. La cosa que me parece mas dificil en este momento es de encontrar tiempo para hacer todas las cosas que hacía antes, y lo mas molesto es que no puedo hablar con todos mis amigos y mi familia tanto como este verano que ha pasado. Tambien, es muy extraño vivir en lo mismo cíudad en que viví cuando era estudiante, porque ahora casi todas las personas que conocía aquí se han hido para trabajar en otras lugares, o viajar o empezar un master en otras universidades. Por eso siento que este tiempo es de acomodacíon y para darme cuenta que es lo que quiero hacer en este año que viene, y las cosas que tengo que cambiar con mi vida ahora.

    TRADER

    The Mentalist is my favorite television series; the main actors are very good, particularily Patrick Jane who is very funny and intelligent.
    Every night I am very happy to watch the Mentalist because I love pnl (?) and I know that all I see in the series is the truth.
    The supporting actors are sometimes very good enough (OR: are sometimes good enough).
