    Cooking

    Hi! While I'm waiting for while my boyfriend comes from his Monday's football game I'm cooking a chicken with a sauce of cream and spring onion, and roasted potatos. I bought a beer to drink, though I know that this food fit goes better with a wine but I forgot to buy one and I'm too lazy to go again to the supermarket...
    Also I prepared a red pepper with garlic and olive oil, to eat as appetizer whit with warmed bread.
    Actually I'm not good at cooking but I'm doing my best!
    We have a dessert of a pineapple's cake that my Mom cooked in on her brithday birthday that it was yesterday.

     

    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    You seem to get better with every post. AND you are making me hungry! Well done again!

    Cheers!

    Olympic Matches Games.

    I'm very exited with about the Olympic Matches Games, specially in Basketball and Women Hockey. Here we (in Argentina) have good teams, as per my knowledge as far as I know. Maybe they're not the best but they're very good.
    I'm happy both of them won yesterday. I hope they continue winning and they could reach achieve at least one medal.

     

    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    Well done! Your writing is very clear and interesting. I think you must be using Argentinian punctuation, because it is very curious. Also the phrase "as per" is very casual and needs to be used with care. Apart from that - brilliant!

    Keep writing.

    Tomorrow's test - Simple Past and Past Perfect

    Hi All!, I'm from Buenos Aires, Argentina, I'm practising English. Actually, I'm attending an English course in at my work. as per as I mean that I have to talk in English to at work and they provide us with a training course.
    Tomorrow I'm having a test, this includes simple past and past perfect tenses. I always have issues with this perfect tense. In Argentina, at least where I live, it is not common to use this tense. We always use the simple past and it's hard to for me to change my way of thinking to include it in my vocabulary. I know the rules about when I have to use one or other, but I cannot include it naturally when I'm speaking or writing.

    **************************************************

     

    You are doing very well (apart from some curious punctuation). I can assure you that Spanish verb tenses are crazy ;-)

     

    Good luck in your next test

    Islas hermosas Casi todos los días en esta temporada hay unos aviones que salen del aeropuerto cercano destinados a las Islas Canarias, cada uno de los que está lleno de gente que está buscando un par de semanas en el sol. Y con toda razón. Parece que desde hace unos meses no termina de llover, y cuando no llueve está lloviznando. Cuando no llovizna siempre hay sobre nubes amenazantes. Es un poco deprimente, así que sería una excelente idea trasladarme en un país más soleado (o menos mojado). Las Islas Canarias están a dos horas y media, frente a la costa de África. A pesar de los turistas innombrables que llegan cada día, parece que las islas sigan siendo un especie de paraíso incluso para los indígenas que viven allí desde su nacimiento. Dicen que los turistas no les molestan porque las playas son bastante largas para todos. Por supuesto hay lugares muy animados hasta ruidosos pero no es difícil encontrar otras playas encantadores donde está poca gente o que son casi desiertas. Es posible extenderse y tomar sol durante todo el día sin ver u oír a nadie. Dicen que incluso en las playas más frecuentadas, se puede dejar su roba o zapatillas sin miedo de estar robado. Se puede disfrutar no sólo los placeres del sol, de la arena y del mar. Mientras hay gente a quien le gusta relajarse en nadar en aguas cristalinas, a otros les gusta caminar por un bosque o subir una colina por un camino sinuoso aprovechando allí el aire más fresco. Tengo que comprar los billetes ahora mismo.

    Well done! This is a very exciting story.

    Remember

    - to use "a" or "the" before nouns

    - use the correct form of the verb.


    Hope this helps

    The Relationship Between Parents and Children. part 1

    This is an interesting and emotional story if you pass it through relate to yourself.<em>(or</em>, <em>maybe you meant</em> "if you think about it"). This story isn't a dream. This is a real experience. It happened with to the friend of my girl.

    ... They have quarreled again. It is pity that parents and their children haggle often. Who is right? Who is wrong? To define it is very difficultly. The quarrel is basics based on a tiny thing. It look like he is an adult. He is 19 years old. But somebody has not wisdom. (<em>or</em>, "hasn't any wisdom") Perhaps the parents have not wisdom. Perhaps his son has not wisdom. Nobody knows it. Emotions are growing up. (<em>I don't know what you mean</em>)Most sad is that it isn't anger at for just one day. This is storage It has been stored up. He did told tell them about the parachute jump. The mother didn't agree with it. The father didn’t too either.
    He didn't wish to make the parachute jump so hard. But he wished to do something based on himself his own decision. Without advices, corrections, obloquy. He wished to do something independently. He is permited to jump. He have has learned the preparatory course. He is saying to his parents that he is going to jump and he is going out.
    He is in the sky. They are 800 yards high. Everybody are is jumping according to the queue. But he isn't jumping. He asks to get more height - 1600 yards. You have a few seconds free falling at this height and you must open your parachute after that. The pilot gets (= reaches) the height after everybody had left the airplane. He had paid for this case (= flight???). He saw that his parents had come and wanted to speak to him. But he didn't wanted to. He wanted just to jump with the parachute to spite them.
    The airplane is on at 1600 yards. The door of the airplane is open. The instructor have has called him to jump. But he is stopping in at the door. He doesn't know he must he jump. (<em>or</em>, if he should jump) He doesn't know anything. He is in a panic. The instructor is understanding that this one will not jump. The instructor is trying to pull the guy inside. But our hero is <em>getting another effect.</em> (I don't know what you mean). He is falling out. 

    You have few little time when you are free falling. But if it is your first experience you can feel that you are falling during infinity. He forgets about all everything. He forgets that his parents are staying down and are looking up at him.

    His mother is looking up at her son. What is she thinking about? He looks like a small point in the sky. But she sees him good well.

    The son are is falling down fast. What is he thinking about?

    ...

    What PaleMantis says is correct. However, if you mean these to be used when you give or present something to someone, the first (Here you are!) is the more normal. An alternative (more American) expression is "There you go!". I have not heard the expression "Here you go!" except to a child, and it is used when setting them off on a swing, or a bike, or something.
