IN THE HOTEL

I started a new job in May as a recepcionist receptionist in a hotel. I love it because I can practice my English and to meet a lot of people from other countries as well. When there are only a few people in the hotel I have to revise invoices, translate the menus to English, answer the e-mails, or pass send reservations to the computer. Nowadays I usually go from 08:00 am to 04:00 pm, althougt although I work some nights. When a guest comes for the first time I have to show a map from here of the area and I have to recomend recommend beautiful places to visit.

Good job Criss! 

Mi día productivo

Hoy fue un día ocupado. Me desperté a las dos y media de la mañana porque trabajo a las tres de la mañana. Trabajé por siete horas. Entonces Luego, tuve que alimentar a mis mascotas. Mi marido y yo fuimos al cafe y compramos tacos de desayuno y cafés. Estudié para mis clases de universidades por cuatro horas y tomó tomé un examen. Mi marido y yo caminamos en el barrio con nuestro perro. Por la tarde, yo asistí a una reunión por de mi trabajo. Ahora, estoy mirando los resultados de las elecciones.

My Birthday.

I turned 28 yesterday!

I don't know how to explain the feeling I had been dealing with lately, but now it's gone. The only thing I can say is that I felt empty, deeply empty. Nicely worded.

I decided to spend the day at my sister's house so I can could enjoy my niece's and my nephew nephew's company. I also went shopping and it helped me to feel a bit better and distracted. At night, my sister asked for ordered pizza at home and bought a cake for me. The kids were so excited playing with some balloons... it was the best part of my day. I couldn't have gotten a better gift than spending time with them.

My mom also called me, she knew I didn't want to stay at home and that something was wrong with me. A few friends remembered my birthday, just the real ones remember a date like that... even more when it matches with an unforgettable day like 11/09 9/11. You need to format it as Month/Day.

Now, I'm thinking that maybe is it's not the fact I'm getting older that which which sounds a little better here but not a big deal makes me feel blue,. Good place to end the sentence is It's the fact that there are some social problems in my country which are affecting me. Again we want to limit the long sentences. that are affecting me pretty much, those problems These are the things that are causing me the real problems I'm facing in my life.

Good job Luisa! Your English is getting too good... you need to slow down and let me catch up with my Spanish :)

Clothes and Smile

I had a tough day while dressing when it came to getting dressed. It was one of those days in which you have to go to many places. I don’t like to go out as a mess! My mom taught me how to dress for each occasion, from simple to more formal if I can say it that way. She has good taste when it comes to clothes. Even though I’m an adult, every time we go shopping together, I like to hear her opinion about the clothes I think to buy or much better, I love when she finds some clothes for me because I like what she picks most of the times, and I’m not a fan of fishing for clothes at the stores for a long time. This last sentence is a run-on sentence. Here is one suggestion on changing it: Even though I'm an adult, every time we go shopping together, I like to hear her opinion about the things I like. Even better, I love when she finds clothes for me, since I like what she picks most of the time. Plus, I'm not a fan of hunting for clothes at the stores for a long time. 

But, going back to the main point; I had to go to the mall to run some business errands, and run ran into some friends. I wasn’t in the mood, I’m sure about that that's for sure. I tried on four blouses, two jeans and three pairs of shoes, adding to that, I made did my hair two times and nothing seemed to change. I was so upset with myself. Time was passing and I had no idea what else to do, I wanted to take a shower and start over (haha) but I was going to hold up be late?, besides that it was going to be too much!

I poked around in my drawer to find some accessories to wear, but again, I didn’t like how my outfit looked. I wondered “is this the outfit wrong or it’s is it me?” Then, I looked at myself in the mirror and smile smiled. No way! I looked so beautiful! It was me and my mood what which made me feel and look terrible. How did I pretend to look nice with such a bitter face? I just needed a little smile and not changing an outfit like a crazy. instead of changing my outfit like a crazy person.

Good job Luisa, you have an advanced level of English. Just minor corrections :)

Mi mejor amigo acaba de tener un hijo hacia dos meses atrás hace dos meses. Nosotros somos americanos y vivimos en Nueva York. Su esposa habla alemán y el él habla español. Ellos le gustarían de A ellos les gustaría enseñar el al niño los dos idiomas para que el él sea bilingüe. Creo que es un buen una buena idea, por que porque los niños aprenden los idiomas tan rápidos y sin esfuerzo comparado a con los adultos.

Good job... I'm not a native speaker but those are my corrections. Have a nice day!

I would agree with Sergio and add that "permiso" is very common to say when leaving excusing yourself / leaving a room.

You're welcome! I would be interested to know if anyone has a better answer.

Hiroshi, in my opinion there is only a very small difference. When the subjunctive is used, think of them adding the word "may" or "might", like the example I wrote. Here are your three examples: He only wishes for all open windows to go away, even if it may be for a brief amount of time. (I'm not sure what this even means but you get the idea with "may"). Although it may seem obvious, we would like to make a point. And although he may not be able to stand straight at the beginning, he should start to walk as soon as possible. Of course I'm not an expert but this is what I've learned from my experience.
