What happened today
Today, as I always do it, I got up at 7.00 am, put the kettle on fire and woke up my children. We had tea and milk for breakfast. Then, we went to the Bakery and I bought some biscuits for my kids. I took my son to School and went back home with my little daughter. I immediately turn on my computer and checked emails. After that, I sent a message to a Computer Studies teacher with whom we are carrying out a Skype project at School.
I was fulfillying my job responsabilities when my daughter asked me to play with her. I didn´t leave my tasks and she kept on insisting to play with her. I couldn´t bear the guilt of devoting more time thinking about my job to spending it with my daughter. So, I left my task and went to the bedroom to play with her. We had a teddies party and I enjoyed seeing my little daughter smile.
At 11.00 am. my husband phoned to tell me he wasn´t coming home for lunch. Afterwards, I cooked some potatoes, carrots and broccoli. Later, at 11.50 am my daughter and I went to School to pick up my son and went home for lunch.
After lunch, my son did his homework, my daughter went to sleep and I washed the dishes. Next, I turned on the computer to write this new entry on Itaki because I really want to improve my second language.0 votedNovember 19, 20140- What happened today Today, as always I do it, I got up at 7.00 am, put the kettle on fire and woke up my children.

- My hometown I live in a town in the centre of Córdoba, Argentina. It´s small but quiet. There is a Bank, a Hospital, a Church, a Police Station, a Post Office, a Café, an Elementary School, a High School and a River near the town. There are some shops, Greengrocer´s, some Baker´s, some Butcher´s, some Kiosks, two Clubs, two Parks, two restaurants and a lot of Hairdresser´s. There isn´t a Cinema or a Disco in my town. There aren´t any Universities, Shopping Centres, Zoos, Museums or Theatres. You can spend some time at the river or at the Parks at the weekends. Teenagers usually go to a Pub or a Café at night and adult people eat at a Restaurant or have dinner at a friend´s or relative´s. Mariza´s Bakery has delicious croissants and cookies but they are too expensive. Mauricio´s Clothes Shop has great jeans but they aren´t cheap. People in my town are nice, polite and friendly.October 16, 201421
- My Job I am an English teacher. I have started teaching English, in 1997, in small rural schools and then in a Private Institute. In 2002 I got a job in a High School and in two Adult Schools. I have taught little kids since 1997 and 7th, 8th and 9th graders since 2002. Now, I feel that my English is stagnant, that I am loosing fluency. I haven´t had many opportunities of practicing my English with native speakers. No English native speakers live in my town or in neighboring cities. And as always you realize what you need when you need it. This year I created a project and shared it in a website to give my students the opportunity to speak English with students from other countries via Skype video calls. When I made the trial video calls with the other teachers I felt really embarrased and sad for not being able to speak as fluently and correctly as I wished. That is the main reason I have joined italki.com to find someone eager to help me refresh my English.October 12, 201420
Mis vacaciones en España
Las vacaciones a España que Mi mujer y yo fuimos de vacaciones a España y nos fue muy bien la pasamos muy bien (usamos el verbo "pasar" en lugar de "fue" para evitar repetición) . Empezamos las vacaciones con Los primeros cinco días estuvimos en Galicia, ciudad natal de donde es mi padre. Es la primera vez que mi mujer ha estado allí, pero yo a mí, la segunda. Mi padre tiene una casa en Carballosa, cerca de A Coruña, donde ahora vive mi abuela. Como hay tres habitaciones, mi prometida y yo nos quedamos en aquella casa. Galicia es una parte muy rural y muy tranquila de España. Cada mañana los gallos del barrio nos despertaban. Todos tienen una finca pequeña pequeñas fincas. Mi abuela no, pero Mis tíos y primos todos tienen alrededor de cinco gallinas, uno o dos gallos, quizá un cerdo y muchos perros y gatos pero mi abuela no. Pero Los perros y los gatos solo se quedan afuera de la casa, no es como en los Estados Unidos que las mascotas duermen en las camas con la gente. Como mucha de la familia no podrá ir a nuestra boda el año entrante, esta fue una oportunidad para que mi mujer pudiera conocer toda mi familia en España. Nos gustó mucho Galicia mucho, pero aunque a mi mujer un poquito menos no tanto , ¡porque las moscas allí la comieron toda! la molestaron todo el tiempo. Entonces Cinco días fue corto poco tiempo, pero bastante suficiente para que mi prometida pudo pudiera conocer mi familia y de donde es mi familia sus orígines. Después fuimos para a Barcelona para otros cinco días.
Barcelona era muy bonita y divertida. Hay mucho que para hacer allí. Caminábamos por todos lados durante el día. Así pudimos conocer mejor la ciudad mejor. ¡Pero como dolían nuestros pies cuando regresábamos al hotel! Vimos la arquitectura del arquitecto Gaudí que la cual es muy bonita e interesante. El segundo día fuimos a un show de flamenco, y nos fue muy bien. Mi mujer nunca ha visto un show de flamenco. El tercer día fuimos a un partido de fútbol en Camp Nou para ver un partido de Barcelona jugar contra Elche. Barcelona ganó tres a cero y fue una experiencia muy buena a ver un partido de fútbol en España. La única cosa que fue un poco extraña fue que ¡mi mujer y yo fuimos los únicos en el estadio que llevaban las camisetas de España! .Todos tenían las camisetas de Barcelona o del Cataluña. Se me olvido que la independencia de Cataluña es un tema muy caliente ahora. ¡Pero no tuvimos que pelear con nadie! La El (concordancia de género, artículo y sustantivo masculino)última día fuimos a Barceloneta, una playa muy bonita en Barcelona, para descansar antes de regresar a EEUU.
Comimos y nos divertimos muy bien mucho en España y fueron unas vacación vacaciones memorables (inolvidables) para mi mujer y yo para mi.0 votedOctober 9, 20140
