Describing my mother Hello everybody! Today I want to talk about a very special person in my life: My mother. Firstly I will tell you something about her appearence. She is eighty years old. She is an old person but she is a hard working person still. She isn´t very tall and she is a quite overweight. She has curly brown hair. She has brown eyes too, and she usually wears glasses. Everybody says that I have a similar appearence with her. I think so, but I´m taller and thiner than her. Her personality is amazing. She is very Kind and generous. She likes staying with all her family. She has two son and a daughter. She has two grandsons and two grandaughters too. She likes cooking. She cooks very well. Every Sundays she cooks a paella. It is delicious. Nowadays I can´t spend much time with her because I work in other city. I want to go to her house to see her and my father! My father is a very great person too but he likes Real Madrid and I like Barcelona FC. XD I have an excellent mother and... a very good father! :D

My village... Ciudad Rodrigo Hello everybody! This time I want to talk about my village or my small town (you can help me about this calification). I was born in 1977 in Salamanca. 80 kilometers from Salamanca there is a small town (or village). It is in the West of Salamanca, near Portugal. Its name is Ciudad Rodrigo. Ciudad Rodrigo has a popullation of 16000 inhabitants. It was foundated in Roman ages. It has a lot of constructions which were built by Romans. One of them is the Roman Bridge, over the Agueda river. Another is the Wall that "walks" around the Old City. The symbol of Ciudad Rodrigo is a strange roman construction named "Tres Columnas". Nowadays we don´t know very well the meaning of Tres Columnas. There are a lot of theories that try to explain this, but we dont have the correct answer of this question. In Ciudad Rodrigo there is a famous castle. It was built probably in the Middle Age. Today is possible to get into it because now it is an elegant hotel. There is a Cathedral too which was built next to the Wall. There are a lot of palaces and historic buildings. I think Ciudad Rodrigo is a little piece of History. I want to talk too about Ciudad Rodrigo´s Carnaval. It is the main celebration of this village. It is on February and you can run in front of a bull along Ciudad Rodrigo´s streets. It is a very funny party but it can be dangerous if you don´t take care. There are a lot of people dancing in the street that follow typical musical bands named "charangas". Finally I can tell you that the typical food of Ciudad Rodrigo are eggs with "farinato". It is very difficult to me explain that it is. I think is better that you came to Ciudad Rodrigo and eat it! See you soon... and thanks!!

AT, IN and ON Hello everybody, As I have said in other post, I'm learning English. One difficult thing of this language is to know how you can use the prepositions AT, IN and ON. They are very similar because they have the same meaning a lot of times. For Spanish people is very dificult to use the correct preposition. For example, you can play tennis in the morning, in the evening or at night. I would like to know how English people learn to use those prepositions correctly. Is there any rule that help me with this problem? Do you know any resource on the internet that would be good for me? Thanks a lot!
