- Práctica de vocabulario Para aprender otra lengua, la resistencia es imprescindible. Asimismo se necesita que una persona se motive a si misma. Ya que es obvio que aprender otra lengua requiere mucho trabajo y prueba y error, esa motivación ayudaría a uno a continuar. En la primavera, las aguas pluviales causan muchas inundaciones. Los habitantes de dichas zonas pierden sus casas y tienen que salir en busca de asentamiento (que usualmente el gobierno abastece). Hay cuentas de familias que, después de perder su casa, viven en o se aproximan a la pobreza. ¨Ese Bad Bunny sale hasta en la sopa,¨ dijó abuelita mientras pasó la aspiradora. Cuando me pregunté ¿para cúal candidato vas a votar?, me sentí incómoda y intenté a esquivar la pregunta. No me gusta la política. Escuché a una presentación sobre la despoblación de los indígenas en Latinoamérica y cómo la composición étnica ha llegado a ser como es actualmente. El presentador plantea que este devenir refleja mucho sobre la actitud de la gente hacia los aborígenes. Cada sábado caminabamos por el malecón, mirando el bar y hablando de las taquilleros de la semana.April 13, 201920
World Book Bay Note: we capitalize every word in a title in English unless it is a preposition and not at the beginning of the title. You can read more about title capitalization here: https://webapps.towson.edu/ows/capitalization_rules.htm
It’s was world book day. I like reading books. I love detective novels and science fiction, but I also read other literature when I have spare time. Although My favorite writer is Truman Capote; I read his books translated in Japanese. I wanted to be able to reading them in English some day. I’m reading "A Bear Called Paddington" now. It’s for children, but it's not easy for me!子供の本を読むのは言語を勉強しながらとても有用ですね。今難しいけど、そろそろ簡単になりますよ。頑張ってください!

This is what we would normally say if we are describing what we are doing. I hope this makes sense! If you have more questions, I'm here to help.0 votedMarch 7, 20190

Durante la conversación me pregunté una y otra vez si ella no quiso hablar conmigo porque ella parecía muy renuente de comunicarse. Me sentí como yo fuera la única persona prestando atención y haciendo un esfuerzo a mantener el flujo natural de la conversación. Como yo no sé mucho de la cultura Colombiana, lo encuentro difícil leer entre líneas en relación con su estilo de habla y su lenguaje corporal. Todavía no sé si ella se comportó así porque estuvo nerviosa de conocer a una nueva persona o estuvo nerviosa de practicar su inglés o no me gusté. Me duele el corazón pensar que ella no me gusté pero la realidad es que no todo el mundo me va a encontrar agradable. Al fin puedo decir que a pesar de todo eso, la experiencia fue buena. No tuve tantas dificultades hablar con una hablante nativa de español de mi misma edad como yo pensaba originalmente. De hecho me sorprendó que lo encontré muy facíl y no hubo mucho que me costó. Espero la oportunidad de conocer más gente de otros países latinoamericas para aumentar mi habilidad de interpretar el lenguaje corporal de mucha gente y también aumentar mi exposición a dialectos diferentes. Eso me trae a otro pensamiento: estoy en el proceso de encontrar gente que estudie el inglés y quiere hacer un intercambio de los dos idiomas. Si alguien tiene interés, por favor enviéme un mensaje y podemos hablar más de este tema. Muchas gracias por leer y corregirme.February 23, 201960
Practice Number 14
・byline
He forgot to write his name in the byline.
The seats near the byline went sold out in just 1 minute.
・catalyst
You need a catalyst if you want to keep yourself motivated.
This is not a common use of this word. This sentence would be more natural as "You need a reason if you want to stay motivated." Usually we use catalyst like "his article served as the catalyst for a nationwide debate about recreational marijuana usage." It's a pretty formal word.
・on a roll
I've been on a roll recently. Whatever I do, I don't fail.
・bash
That yakuza bashed his thumb with a hammer.
My dad bashed up my PC.
・groggy
I caught the flu and I feel really groggy.
・nauseous
That roller coaster made me feel nauseous.
I saw a nauseous cruelty in a slaughterhouse. We don't use nauseous that way in the U.S.
・blatant
He did a blatant cheating blatantly cheated on an exam.
That radio is blatant. We don't use this word that way in the U.S.
・opposition
Today's opposition is a dirty team. They commit a hundred of fouls in one match.
・presumably

You are going to that party, presumably.Wow, great job!

I have started to watching ER from near the end of May. and It came to the I watched (about) half of the season 12.
Dr. Carter, who I had thought he was the main character in the drama, has left the county at the end of the season 11.
Also, Dr., Lewis, who had returned to the county in the season 8, has left (or: is gone).
Only Dr. Kovac and Dr. Weaver were still there.
I feel like that Dr. Weaver will leave the county in season 12.
I can check about that at an find out online internet but there are many pieces of information what I don't want to know I don't want to see spoilers because the drama has completed. (In English, we say "spoilers" for information that reveals twists or information about the plot of a movie, book, or TV show that could spoil the surprise for someone else.)I did that and I regretted it many times, for example, with the death of Dr. Green and Dr. Romano, so I never do that anymore.
I miss that I'm sad that I'll finish watching the drama soon, but it's okay. (I would normally say "I'm sad the drama ends soon.")
Because I'm going to watch it all over again whole seasons from the first season. (In conversation, we will sometimes start sentences with "because," but we don't do it in writing.)
Watching foreign dramas is one of the ways of I study English.That's a great way to study! You'll learn lots of new vocabulary and natural phrases that way. Good luck!
