A Few years ago, after being in a meeting with the Pope and over 2 million people from all around the world in Madrid, I went with a group of friends to Paris. At the second night we went to the Eiffel tower, and everything was great, but then, when we were coming down lowering the tower we lost our group.. It was almost 9 PM and we didn't remember how to came get back, and we didn't even remember what was the name of the church we were passinged theat night, I just remembered the first part of the name, Notre Dame of.... After 2 hours of walking without knowing how to say even a word in French, madness came to me ("I went crazy" or "I lost it") when I realized that almost every name of the churches in that city start with "Notre Dame of..."
It was more or less about 12 AM when suddenly a glorious bus we remembered we took the last day to get to our place appeared., it was the last one, but we could not took catch it.. It was too far, so we ran after it for a while. At the end we finally arrived, almost at 1 AM, but we arrived.. I don't know if we should be proud for being the ones who knew the most about the city from our group, but unfortunately my mind was full of hypothesis ("ideas" es mejor. "hypothesis es más común en temas de ciencias) of how we would come back and probably we missed important tourist places inon our way.
I have to say that every person me and my girlfriend and I met during this roadtrip were was extremely cool and helpful. I'm still loving French people and hope to be back soon... With a GPS..Muy cómico! Es muy dificil en un idioma diferente, así que, buen trabajo!

La música estaba muy bella. Cuándo era joven, toqué el piano por ocho años, así que, me gusta la música clásica. Mis compositores favoritos son Beethovan, Schumann y Joplin. En mis últimos años de tocar el piano, compuse dos canciones. Una de ellas se llamó "La tormenta" y la otra inspiró de un poema de Robert Frost "La primera verde de naturaleza es oro".June 14, 201580
The Hardest Choice
SomeA few weeks ago I had a job interview at a well known company. The job offer didn't say that speaking English fluently was one of the main requirements for the position. So, it was a big surprise to me when I was told that the interview was going to be conducted in English, just five minutes before the interview. I didn't do well on the interview, and I think I said a lot of nonsense and felt really stupid. However, I noticed something. Employers seem not to care whether you really speak English fluently or not. They just care about your certificatesdegrees.
The interview was in groupIt was a group interview, and there was a girl who spoke all the time about her trip to Ireland to study English. Basically, she replied to almost each question by tellingspeaking about her experience in Ireland. Even though, to be honest her English was not great, but the interviewers seemed to be very interested in listening to her stories.
Obviously, I didn't get the job. I have a friend who works for that company. I asked him to knowfind out who got the position, and he told me that the girl who lived in Ireland got it and started to work four days later. So, I realized that I need to do something if I want to get a good job. That's why I arrived at the conclusion I have to study in an English speaking country and get a certificate from an English school in an English speaking country. Even if I still don't speak any English, employers are always impressed by those certificatesqualifications.
I didn'tdon't want to get in debt to banks, but it seems like this is something I have to do if I want to get a well paid job. The amount of money scares me, because it's nearly the amount of money needed to buy a high-end car. Hopefully, I will be able to recover the investment and pay off the loan once I go back to Colombia.0 votedJune 12, 20151My exam
I have an exam at the university tomorrow,
and I have a lot to read but I don't want to.
The topic is really interesting (Social Responsibility) but I didn´ton't like the way to teach of the teacher the professor teaches
and because that I feel unmotivated.
Now I'm still trying to read but I get distracted with everything,: internet, food, whatsapp. I hope to concentrate on my reading soon, I don't want to "amanecer" studying
dawn is a noun, but is the verb the same? How can I say "Yo amanezco" or "él amanece"?Respuesta: Creo que la frase estás buscando es "to pull an all-nighter". Significa estudiar toda la noche y no dormir nada. So, "I don't want to pull an all nighter studying"

El entrenamiento fue de martes a jueves durante 9 horas por día. Aprendimos sobre nuevos tipos de capacitores y semiconductores para diseñar nuestros productos mas pequeño, mas barato y con mas calidad. Por la noche, una amiga de escuela y yo nos reunimos por la primera vez en 10 años. Crecimos juntos en Nueva York, y ahora, ella vive en Madison. Platicamos mucho, y nos divertimos. La noche siguiente, mis compañeros y yo comimos (y bebimos) juntos. Aun así, aprendimos mucho, y nos divertimos.June 12, 201540
