Hard Work is Never Enough

Hi, my name is Briggit, and I am from Venezuela. Since I was a child I have always wanted to be chef or work with food in general. When I graduated from high school I decided to move from home to study nutrition in other state within my country. I spent one year of my life in the University but I was not studying nutrition because I had to study one or two years for another career. While the university would be able to give a matriculate in the career that I wanted it didn't ever happen so I decide to leave my dream of being a nutritionist. Actually, I am waiting to start in an aeronautic academy to be flight attendant. Now, what I really want is to move out from my country. I do not want to live here anymore because the economy here does not allow me to be independent and grow like an adult. So, I am working hard for a new life. I have studied English since I was a child; however, I think that I need practice. If I want to be a flight attendant I need to have perfect English. I hope you can help me a lot with my skills and I can help anyone who wants to speak Spanish.. it will be a pleasure.

Youtube

A new era is coming, or perhaps it would be better to say: A new era is here. In recent years, the growth and expansion of the digital era has been incredible and unstoppable. Nowadays, people spend more time watching videos on YouTube than programs on TV, or at least that’s my view.

Personally, I’m a huge YouTube fan. There are many advantages to YouTube. You can choose what you want to watch, whenever you want, and that’s an important advantage over TV. Furthermore, you can find videos about everything; such as, cooking,cars, and comedy. No matter what you’re looking for you will most likely find it.

For me, YouTube is a major tool used to learn English. I’m living in Spain so here its quite complicated finding native English speakers to converse with. YouTube gives me the opportunity to practice my listening skills and of course the opportunity to learn grammar and expressions. There are a lot of good channels to subscribe to. For example,  Amigos Ingleses, Papa English and English with Lucy are good channels. YouTube gets us closer the “real” English. I mean, the English of “street”, that English that nobody taught us at school or even at University.

A common phenomenon on YouTube are the “YouTubers”. These are people who record themselves regularly and then they upload it. There are some that are quite interesting and obviously others that are dreadful. But if you find one you like then you will probably learn English with more motivation and maybe it will be easier to learn. So It´s up to you. ;)

Should you live alone or with roommate?

I'm going to write about whether to live alone or with a roommate. My first experience living alone was amazing. I was 20 years old and one friend asked me to live with him. We lived in a small flat with two rooms, one bathroom, one kitchen and one living-room. It was the last flat in the building and without a lift. In this flat I had the best moments of my life. I remembered playing Pro Evolution Soccer 8 many times and the parties we had in the flat.

The main advantages of living with a roommate(s) is that the bills are paid between two or more people. Another advantage is that you do what you want in your flat. If you want a washing machine you get it but if you don't want it then you don't get it.
The main disadvantage of life with roommates is the order in the flat. You must order your flat minumum once or twice a week if you don't want the rubish in your face.
Another disadvantage is that you must cook if you want to survive, and go shopping.

In my opinion living alone is the best option in order to be free and to do things alone.


I am very confused with 'make' and 'do' and other things. Level A2.
Thanks to all.
