    Exam Letter

    Dear John,
    Thanks for your letter. I'm so glad to hear from you. I hope you and your family are well.
    First of all, I love Mexican food! My town only has two Mexican restaurants [short sentence].  I used to go to one of them with my boyfriend, but now he is working in other city and my friends don't like this type of food, they prefer Italian restaurants. Do you like Mexican food? It's so spicy! The restaurant is colourful and amazing, it has typical mexican objects on the walls and you can hear Mexican music while you are eating.
    When you come to my town, we will go there and taste all the dishes! I think you will enjoy yourself there.
    Write to me soon.
    Best wishes.
    Maria.

    Where I've written [short sentence], it's not incorrect, but it's unusual to write such short sentences, this is known as a fragment i.e. it should be part of a longer sentence structure.

    Switching over Jobs

    Early on in my likelife I knew that I will would work with Information Technology . In the 90´s 90s age I have had been started this learning about IT.. Even tough though sometimes I had any doubts about my profession career, I really appreciate enjoyed to working with computers. To me it is really excited exciting... Nowadays, I have worked with as a  web system developer. I intend to switch over this function from this role to another in the future. I took a post-graduation course in Management Project and I hope to work in this function capacity as soon as possible. First of all, I need to improve my skills in English. In this case order to achieve this, I have been practicing every single day, at least the  reading,/listening/writing reading, writing and listening. The next step will be improve the my speaking... I still haven´t got the confidence to speak to a native speaker language...

    I've switched the order of reading, listening and writing, as the words "reading and writing" are usually said in that order (instead of writing and reading).  Good luck!

    Any changes created in by a perfectionist are an illusion that s/he they are is improving the project, even if s/he  they are destroying it.

    Perfectionism

    Articles on the job interviews advise us, while when answering to the questions about your weakness, not to tell talk about your real weaknesses, but rather make up a weakness which wcould be perceived as a strength. For example, you may say that even at home, whilst with your family, you cannot stop thinking about your work, which makes and your wife want to divorce you. Or you may say, “I am a workaholic.” Oor “I am a perfectionist!” I am overacting exaggerating with my examples, but you gotget the idea. Let’s discuss if it’s really good to be a perfectionist?. Many people think that it is it's good because a perfectionist strive to improve whatever they s/he is working on.
    In reality, it is it's  not good at all. According to the WHO, perfectionism is a personality disorder. A person with perfectionism personality disorder suffers from anxiety that whatever they s/he is have done is not perfect and must be redone. You may think that it is bad for person people, but it is good for people's person’s employers… Unfortunately, it is bad for both.
    It is bad because a perfectionist can never finish his or her project. As soon as they s/he is stopped making changes to it, his or her anxiety increases and to decrease his or her anxiety, they s/he starts making changes to it again.
    The real reason why perfectionists makes perpetual changes to his or her their projects is not to improve it them, but to decrease anxiety. As a result, perfectionists may make changes from the good things to the bad. It does not matter what kind of changes to they make to decrease the anxiety. [out of words]

    What's your level of English

    I guess my level is moderately advanced if you only consider my reading and writing.  I still have a hard time when listening and I have a pretty heavy accent, which means that I can get by in informal conversation but often have to repeat myself when speaking to natives.

    Spanish Self Study - What should I learn? Hola! I've been learning Spanish for a few months, including Skype lessons. At the moment, I spend most of my self-study time learning verbs endings, as per my teacher's homework, Present, Preterite, Imperfect, as well as Regular, Irregular, Stem-changers, etc. I know these are really useful, but not all sentences are just Subject - Verb - Object - Noun/Adjective/Adverb, for example I am not very good at connectors such as ademas de, ahora, casi, desde, etc. (had to look those up!). Because of this, I struggle with a lots of conversation where sentences don't follow the basic structure above, so I feel like I'm not progressing! My question is, what should I be focusing on to improve my communication in 'real' conversations. For example, should I try and memorise more connectors? Should I write out sentences in English, then try to translate them into Spanish, first without help, then using a dictionary? I would be grateful for any practical advice. Gracias! Amit
