Un día típico en el tiempo presente
Durante un día típico, me levanto a las cuatro de la madrugada pero no me despierto hasta de las siete. Saco (o traigo o llevo, no estoy seguro) a mis perros a pasear entonces y después voy a trabajar. Yo trabajo por todo el día y vuelvo en a casa a las dos de la tarde. Trabajo en casa hasta las seis y media entonces y después preparo comida la cena. Como Ceno a las siete y veo un poco de televisión. Me duermo a las nueve solo para hacerlo otra vez el próximo día
Gracias otra vez y siempre me gusta la ayudar (o la ayuda siempre es bienvenida)0 votedSeptember 30, 20110- LID (Language Identity Disorder) / NID (Nationality Identity Disorder) A few weeks ago I was watching a “documentary” about a mental/physical disorder where a guy was describing his childhood when he used to have a strange feeling that his left leg was not part of his body. He then finally as an adult finished cutting his leg off. They called this as BIID (Body Integrity Identity Disorder) and defined it as a neurological and psychological disorder that makes sufferers feel they would be happier living as an amputee. This “documentary” deals also with the concept of genders and sexuality and how some people feel that they were born in the wrong body (male or female). As in the story above, some people suffering a GID (Gender Identity Disorder) end their problems by switching gender, what we call a transgender. It is worth mentioning that this subject sows a controversy in the fact that some people consider that this “disorder” is not mental but biological or they don´t even consider it a disorder. The fact that there is a physical component on both of these “disorders” is pretty intersting and it brought to my mind an old idea about those who, in their mind, feel they were born in the wrong country / family / language community; and brought me to write about it and their/our feelings. I would like to exclude from this group those who are immature or in their teenage and still searching for their identity; probably to exclude also people with parents of different nationalities (i.e. American father and Japanese mother) or adopted because they may have a conflict of interest; and finally people living in a foreign country with a different heritage, because they yearn for their home country. Thinking outside the box and giving the resulting group the benefit of the doubt I will assume that there is a biological/neurological or even a karma or reincarnation factor on their thoughts, and I would call it a LID (Language Identity Disorder) and the other a NID (Nationality Identity Disorder). This two links are examples of them. http://notreallyaustralian.blogspot.com/2011/04/brunswick-street-andrew-street-metlink.html http://about.me/oogatta I might write some more about it in the future. If you feel like fitting on the description, please make a comment. If you see something wrong on my writing please correct me. Thanks RichardSeptember 29, 201120
Married
Hey Chris,
Long time no see buddie. How are you doing? I just read your email the other day. How long has it been? Oh boy. Anyway, I hope you're doing fine. How's everyone? How's the kittten? Tell me our hairy friend's is he still around?.
As for myself, I'm doing fine, really. You know, I came to Oxford last year and found a really good apartment for a few hundred pounds a month; cheapest thing in town, I let me tell you., I can't complain at all. I'm a little bit sick of getting the train to London every day, but usually I do that on sleepy mode. I bet most people on that train know me as the dribble girl. And about the jobwork, well, it doesn't pay much, but I guess it's better than nothing.
Anyway, I've been thinking lately about you lately. I still have that adidas sweater you used to wear all the time. It's two sizes bigger larger than what I wear, but I quite love it, even if just for the indoors thought I only wear it inside the house. You left a few books here, and the Sarah Records collection. I'm sure you've downloaded those so far already, but I can send them to you if you want to. Just tell let me know, okay?
Mum still asks about you from time to time. She adored used to love you, you know. I think she still does, even if she's not seeing you anymore. She still laughs when she remembersing the way you used to misspell her name. Anyway, I'm sure she would love to see you any one of these days. Just feel free to paygive her a visit, you know. Do that same thing you used to do: ring the doorbell three times, wait for Bobby to bark at you and shout "where's my Laura?". You're gonna give her a stroke if you do that. Please, do that.
I haven't told you, but I'm gonna get married next June. His name's is Mark. As I told you, I really can't complain, you know. He's such a lovely man. He gives me a smile every morning and keeps my fridge full of food. Oh, and he supports ManU, just like you! Are you still training those kids on sunday mornings? Anyway, you know you can come to the wedding if you feel like coming. You're invited, of course. It's gonna going to be at that small church just down mum's place. I'll send you more details if you askwant to. I'm so excited! but the truth is I'm trying not to think about it that much. You know me, I'm a nervous wreck. Oh, and of course you can bring anyone with you, you know. Yes, even the kitten cat. Kittens are always welcome. And anyway, Bobby's coming too. Woof!
Thanks for the email Chris. It's been so nice to hearing from you again. And I do hope you're doing fine. Wish you best of lucks. Write back soon, okay?0 votedSeptember 29, 201113 senteces to practise !! please correct my mistakes !!

(Furious is extremly angry) He I told me about some problems into its on his house. The problem were was the about some leaks and smalls fissures in a wall. The solutions were changed I solved changing all the roof and repairing the wall. Luckily I had insurance !!

3. The British. I don´t understand his money their currency , units of measures and the speed units. They had been used pounds, yards and miles per hour. However I always carry a cheat conversion sheet in my wallet that I use for cheating.0 votedSeptember 29, 20110- First notebook entry: Introducing myself I´m from Mexico, I´ve been living in here all my life. I currently work for an US based company with some southern (hillbilly like) fellows that I love. It has been six year since I joined and started working in a English-speaking company. And I might say that English was not know to me until I got into high-school (or what we call Preparatoria), and besides of that short basic lessons, I went to a small private school for like two months and got bored with the paced lessons. To make a long story short, I feel that I learnt English too easy basically by hearing and translating music and some reading. I do remember myself, thinking and speaking in my head in english when I was younger and still taking the first lessons. I also do remember, that when I was in high-school, there was one time that I was watching an american TV show with a friend and his brother, and these guys took English lessons since kids (in private schools) and while we were watching the show I could not understand a thing while they were laughing the whole show. :p Anyways, I still feel that I have too much way to go, and mainly in my accent. I´m looking into taking the TOEFL or a similar test in the short run. I found italki by chance, and I think that I´ll try it... I´m willing to take over and get dipper knowledge of what I tried to train myself in Japanese and French with audiobooks and improve my English. I you feel like correcting or commenting my entry, feel free to do so. Thanks RichardSeptember 20, 201120
