Una más y nos vamos

Queridos compañeros y Lic. Enrique Cabrales:

Ha sido largo el camino que hemos recorrido juntos, desde que iniciamos esta carrera hasta éste semestre que vamos terminando, por nuestro paso en esta universidad hemos tenido diferentes maestros y creo que uno de los que nunca olvidaremos es nuestro profesor Juan Enrique Cabrales. Debo confesar que cuando lo conocimos en 4º semestre nos fué difícil adaptarnos a la manera de trabajar de él. Hoy puedo decir que ya nos entendimos y sobre todo que el teacher ha dejado en nosotros enseñanzas muy importantes, no solo en lo que al aprendizaje del idioma se refiere, sino que debemos recordar siempre sus consejos de ser autodidactas y de no quedarnos en el camino, que las cosas cuestan pero querer es poder.

Esta actividad del blog fué para mí muy difícil, pero creo que al final algo aprendí, hay que ser constantes en lo que hacemos. Por el momento hago una pausa y me siento satisfecha, tal vez no soy la mejor estudiante pero creo que algo he aprendico, sobre todo que podemos contar con verdaderos amigos, esta antrada va dedicada a todos ustedes compañeros a Celia, Kandy, Maty y a ud. profe Cabrales, ¡¡¡GRACIAS!!!

PD. Realmente disfruté el ¡Karaoke!

F R I E N D S H I P

We have developed a good relationship during six semeters. I think we have improve our each other's understanding. I really enjoyed your friendship and I wish we finish this bachellor together next November.
I want to share a poem I find this night...

When we first talked to each other
I knew we would always be friends.
Our friendship has kept on growing
And I'll be here for you to the end.


You listen when I have a problem
And help dry the tears from my face.
You take away my sorrow
And put happiness in its place.

We can't forget the fun we've had
Laughing 'til our faces turn blue.
Talking of things only we find funny
People think we're insane-If they only knew!

I guess this is my way of saying thanks
For catching me when I fall.
Thanks once again for being such a good friend
And being here with me through it all.

- Rachel Ellis

Thank you for being my good friends!!!

Ups¡ The corrected blog

Advantages and Disadvantages of watching TV

Nowadays, television has become the most popular source for entertainment to have at home. It is also an indispensable device in our daily life. Television has been very popular since it was invented, and almost every family has access to it. By watching TV , we get see many things happened in the world . The advantages of watching TV are very considerable:

*You can get a whole look of world events.
*Television programs enrich our knowledge .
*Many events and competition can be watched “live”.
*Many exclusive movies are presented as well .
*Television specializes into many channels , each one satisfies the different audience’s taste such as news , sports, and film .
*You can learn and meet many interesting places watching discovery channel or national geographic channel.

Beside those benefits , there are some disadvantages that we must notice:

*Wasting time is one of the inherent disadvantages of watching TV.
*Television programs are not always suitable for all ages. Sometimes, there are some movies with sexual content and violence which affect the stormy phase of growing children and teenagers.
*The government control the information so we are not suposed to believe all we watch on TV.
*Families rarely comunicate among each others because they have adopted watching TV as a normal activity during the whole day, even for dinner , brakfast, or lunch time.
*If you don`t care about how much time you spend in front of your TV you may turn into a "couch potatoe".

Finally, I have reached the conclusion that nowadays television could be indispensable for some. TV benefits our life by getting us informed about things happening all over the world. On the other hand watching TV affects our lives,thoughts and habits.

My wonderful kids

It`s time to tell you about my children, you know them but I want to tell you more information about them you don't know.

I'm going to start with my first boy MORONI, his birth was very difficult because he was trapped with his umbilical cord so was difficult for him to born. Once he arrived to this world we were very happy, he was my mom's first grandson so you can imagine how loved he was.

Moroni was a very quiet baby, he used to be calm most of the time. Now he is an obedient boy, helpful, responsible, and perseverant. When he has a goal he never rest untill he gets it.

My second child is ISAI, he`s a mischievous boy, he likes to play all the time, he was a noisy baby and he needed a lot of atention. He enjoys playing with his brother, he`s lovely boy because he tells me that he loves me all the time. He is very smart at school and he likes to sing and to dance.

My beautiful boys are my support, believe it or not, they cheersme up and I really enjoy when I'm with them. Well, once you turn into a parent may be you would understand how important is a child in your life.

Well, he is from Tampico, his mom is from Tuxpan, Veracruz and his father was born in Tampico too. He lived his childhood in Tuxpan, Veracruz and his adolescence too, then, he moved to Tijuana City for two years. Latter he return to Tampico, but he decided to study in Mexico City and that was the reason I met him.

He culdn't to study at the Metropolitan university so he return to Tampico and he started to study Psychologist Bachellor. I married him and we were living here the last twelve years.

What my husband likes is listening music, doing exercise, spending time with his family, playing with his children and helping people because he is a psychologist.

He plays basquetball very good and he cooks delicious enchiladas. He supports me and chers me up when I'm week, He helps me a lot since the time I decided to study in this university .

We have had differences but finally we have have get over them.

Well, this story is special to me because is the one we had to write, at the begining I didn't liked the idea but at the end I enjoyed it. We had many ideas, and we were talking and talking but the most dificult was to write it. Well, i think that was good for our writting skills anyway, as this blog is.

Now the story of Carlotta....

Long time ago, in a Village of Kansas, there lived a very rich woman who used to lend money to the poor people. Her name was Carlotta. She was single with no family, and no children.

Carlotta was a mean person even she lend money to everyone she never cares about the people needs.

She lived alone in an old house, she didn’t have any friend because she never wanted to give or share anything. She looked like a miserable person because of the old fashion clothe she wore.
People in the town sometimes wanted to help her but she never accepted their friendship because of her bitterness. She didn’t love anyone.

One Sunday afternoon a couple knocked at Carlotta’s door. They were Peter, Julia, and their little baby named Daniel. They seemed to be in problems. When she opens the door she talked to them in a despective and aggressive way.

What they wanted was a huge amount of money to solve their problems. As they were planning to travel they decided to leave Daniel with Carlotta as a guarantee that they will return in a week or before with Carlotta’s money.

Carlotta accepted the deal not very convinced at all because she had to take care of the child, but she thought it was the only way she can get her money back with the high benefits she was going to gain out of it.
Two weeks passed and the couple showed no sign of themselves. After sometime Carlotta received news from the couple. They had had an accident on which they both died.
Carlotta was very angry, but at the same time she thought that the child could be of help to her when he grew up. As the time went by, the young child was growing. He was a nice and cute boy. He always wanted to pleased Carlotta but she never accepted his love because of her bitterness.

Fifthteen years latter Carlota became an old woman living alone and sick. Finally she recognizes her attitude against all people and Daniel, so she decided to leave all her belongings and money to Daniel as well as she asked him to help all people she had abused to.

Some days later, Carlotta died. Since that day, Daniel started helping al people from the village. Latter he knew a pretty young woman and married her having a beautiful family. Celia Del Toro and Maricela García.

The Phantom of the Opera House

Hi! I want to share more about I read last month, I need to explain you that I saw this movie when I was living in Mexico with my family, I realy liked the movie of the Phantom of the Opera, I remember that it was interesting and sad. I enjoy the drama and love stories and this is a good one.

For those of you have never seen the movie or read the book let me tell you what this story is about...

...This story is about strange things happening at the Paris Opera House, people hear voices and see shadows. Everybody say there is a phantom, the phantom of the Opera. The phantom that many people have seen is a strange man with an awful face, he loves music and singing. He participated at the construction of the opera’s building so he knows very well that place; in fact, he lives in a place down the theatre next to a river. The problem is when he felt in love with Christine, a young singer who accepted a relationship with him after he gave her singing classes.

The themes we can tlak about in this story are: horror and ysticism, impossible love and arts and music.

TOM SWAYER

Well, as you know, in literatura class we were reading some books and short stories. I really enjoyed it because, believe it or not, I like to read is just that I rarely have time to do it. Tom Sawyer is one of the stories I liked. I had hear that story before, but I have not known the plot before. I went to the SAC and couldn`t find the book so I decided to listen an audio material with Tom's story. I want to tell you a little bit of Tom Sawyer`s personality, Tom is a mischievous boy with an active imagination who spends most of the novel getting himself, and often his friends, into and out of trouble. Despite his mischief, Tom has a good heart and a strong moral conscience. As the novel progresses, he begins to take more seriously the responsibilities of his role as a leader among his schoolfellows.

I think all subjects are important for getting knowledge but I think American Literature is necessary if we want to understand the American culture and the English as a second language. I think teacher Ana Maria is an excelent teacher because she encouraged us to read and to understand what we read.
