Hi Les,
It’s great news that you are thinking of visiting my country this summer and you will definitely be very welcome here.
As you’re only staying for two weeks, I think you should see the principal Mexican monuments such as Revolution Monument, Independence Angel and more, which are about ten kilometres away. In my opinion, it would be a good idea for you to rent bikes specifically to go on the Reforma Avenue in order to know the different parts of the city.
There are good museums full of great displays about the history of Mexico and other kinds of art, which is not boring at all! There is also an old castle called Chapultepec Castle you can visit, which is very special.
I know how much you excited of this trip so it wouldn’t be expensive as you can stay with me in the apartment.
I really looking forward to seeing you here and showing you around my favourite places. Do email me or phone if you need something. (If you are learning American English, we use "favorite." Otherwise this part is good.)
See you soon!

In this case, The sentence is saying that Putnam lived in Kentucky at first, but then lived in Ohio for college. An example of how an average person might use it is, "I can't go to the party until my parents get home." At first they were unable to go, but then they were. Until is the move between the two.0 votedDecember 31, 20171
Essay: Being a musician or an actor
Nowadays, young people sometimes dream of being a musician or an actor because they think that everything is good, but the problem is that they are not aware of the disadvantages that there are.
On one hand, there are many interesting advantages, but the most important is to do the job that people love and make people enjoy. It is important to pursue a dream up to getting it as long as it is possible. Doing what you really enjoy helps people to feel themselves happy and self-confident. In the case of artists, they will be able to become well-known if they do their jobs so well since they travel all over the world in order to show their work and experience to everyone. In addition, being a famous person helps you to get access to exclusive places and work along with the most important people of that field.
On the other hand, being a famous person brings some unknown disadvantages as well. First, they lose their privacy, cannot see their families due the lack of free time, and are away for a long time on business trips, for example. Regarding the job of an artist, they sometimes work a lot but they don't earn enough money to buy the basic things such as diary food to eat, etc. So they need to get a second job and then it is even more difficult to share time with the family.
To sum up, I recommend to pursue your dream but rate everything, the advantages and disadvantages.0 votedDecember 26, 20170- 1. The T-shirt that he bought for me was too big.

1. A high five is when two people hit the other person's hand in the air. We usually do it only with our friends or family. Slamming hard means that they their hands together really hard.
2. "In your face" is an expression for when something is so aggressive, it is almost touching your face. The mom is getting really close to the guy and is angry, so we say she is in his face. We can assume she is yelling at him from this expression. (It can also be used as a way to brag about winning against someone, but not in this scenario.)
3. When someone has bags under their eyes, it means that they are very tired. The sentence likely means that the person was surprised to see the other person that tired.
4. A spitting image means it looks almost exactly the same. In this case, it means he looks almost exactly like his dad.

0 votedDecember 12, 20170Another finished semester at the university/college (USA)
Hello, everyone! I want to tell you I have finished another course at school. I think that this semester went well, because I have gotten good grades, so I am happy about the results. This year has been great (We only really use "nice" to describe people and objects), because I met more new people and I made new friendships. Also, my English teacher of this course helped me a lot with my English skills such as grammar, speaking, writing and listening. I got a high grade in the English course, and now I am in A2. I will practice more English during my vacation to start the next year more motivated, since I expect to learn more vocabulary and be able to apply it in a actual conversation. Next semester will be my third, so I think I still have time to get to level B2, which is a requirement to apply for a exchange scholarship. Around the sixth or seventh semester I will be able to apply for (Can is the conjugation of "to be able to" (poder) that scholarship. I haven´t decided yet which country I want to go to yet, but I think that Canada or United States are good options because they have very good universities. That´s it for now. Thanks for reading this. I really would appreciate if you could correct me in case I have mistakes. Have a nice day!Not too bad Alberto. A native speaker can understand exactly what you are trying to say. They might just be confused for a sec about why you are saying something a certain way, but that's expected at this point. Keep up the good work!
