How fast this semester passed! I am feeling kind of nostalgic because you guys made such a nice group and you made me feel ok every class. I do not really know whether your writing skills improved or not by writing your comments in this blog but what I want to know, and since this is the last post we will make this semester I will ask you to review the whole semester. Remember the first day in class in this group, and now, at the end of this semester how do you feel? What things did you learn? What did you enjoy in class? What thing(s) you didn’t like? Feel free to write anything you like about the class.

To end my comment I must say that I enjoyed working with you and that also I am very sorry if in one way or another I made a comment or had an attitude that may have offended you. I wish you all good luck in your lives and also I wish you can learn English very fast, and the next time we see each other on the street you surprise me by talking in good fluent English. Good luck and good bye!

Sincerely,

Jesús G. Flores.

For your information, we are having our second midterm this coming Monday, October 29th at 2:30 pm. Again, it will be in pairs, and some of you probably will have to work with a new coach or trainee. The units we will cover on the exam will be from 11 to 20.

Exams, exams, exams.

Well, probably all of you are having exams these days. First of all let me tell you all: Good Luck! This post won’t be too long, because I want you to concentrate in your other exams.

This time I’m going to tell you an anecdote I lived when i was a student in Junior High-School. This happened more than ten years ago. I was studying in the afternoons. One day, one of my classmates arrived with the mathematics key in his hand. I mean, he stole one of the exams, answered it, (with help from someone else, of course). I remember he said: I’ve got the exam answers, but please, don’t tell anybody. Fifteen minutes later, the whole class had the answers written on the everybody’s palms. We needed to plan an strategy, so we all decided that we would write some of the answers incorrectly so the teacher wouldn’t suspect that we were cheating.

By the time we arrived to the classroom, and received the exam we realized that it wasn’t the exam we were supposed to have. The teacher had changed it! Of course, a lot of us failed the exam because we wouldn’t know how to answer it.

Finally, the next day, when the teacher brought our exam results he scolded us because he said that he knew that one exam was missing, and he figured out who was the person who stole it. So we learned the lesson, we failed, the classmate who stole the exam was expelled and I had to learn mathematics. What about you? Share an anecdote here about exams. 



Busiest Days

Hi everybody again. I’ll try to answer some questions, all are very interesting.

Well, I’ll start telling you that on Saturday was a one day very busy for me. In the morning I was with my classmates to Plazuelas, it’s an archeological area, it’s in Pénjamo. I invite you to visit it; it’s very interesting, beautiful.

Now, I’m going to answer the questions.

First, I like my English class because I’ve learned so much; principally I feel that I speak better than before. I hope to write better also.

I really love my major but, I don’t like all subjects. I have many favorites subjects:   Cultural Heritage because I love the history and the culture and in these subjects all the time we talk about them. Other subject is Travel Agencies I because I want to set up a Travel Agency specialized in the cultural topics about Guanajuato State. Now you can understand because these subjects are my favourites.

About studying and working I think it’s difficult because to have two duties is complicated. The last semester I was working and studying. I was studying from Monday to Friday and I was working from Friday to Sunday. I really was finishing very tired, although, I have to admit that I learned so much.

I’m going to continue, my busiest day is Wednesday, maybe you’ve can to see it. I haven’t gone to Wednesday class. This day I have a subject, Recreation and Entertainment, and we normally have to go out the school. Sometimes we’ve finished the activities after at 4:00 p.m., for this sometimes I don’t go to class.

Today, that’s all. See you the next week.

Here we go again!

Let me be honest with you and tell you that I was being afraid that you wouldn’t post anything here, but now I’ve seen progress and makes me feel very proud of you my dear students.

It is raining outside, these days weather is been very weird, I mean, it’s cold in the mornings, hot in the afternoons, and rains at night. The only bad thing about it is that I’m going to miss the moon eclipse that is going to happen tonight.

Anyway, I enjoy all kinds of weather, but definitively I prefer cold weather. Why? Just because I can wear a lot of sweaters or jackets and I’m going to be ok. I am thinking right now on preparing a hot cup of chocolate and getting myself into bed, because and hopefully watch a good TV show, like for instance today it is Tuesday and Desperate Housewives will be showing. Can you picture this? It’s raining outside, drinking your favorite TV show in bed while having your favorite drink.

Ok, now you let me now about your favorite weather, what do you like to do when it is raining, favorite hot drink, favorite TV show, etcetera. I really enjoy reading your posts and comments.

Drinking a capuccino at Cafe Tal
August 21, 2007, 2:33 am
Filed under: Uncategorized

Hi there guys and girls, welcome to our blog. I’ve decided to create this blog while I’m having a capuccino here at Cafe Tal, which is a coffee shop downtown in Guanajuato. I really like to come to this place because the coffee they serve here is really good, and also I like to find some of my friends hanging around here, and I can also surf the internet and read blogs like this one.

This blog was created for you, so you can express your feelings, ideas, comments, findings, thoughts, etcetera. I want to see you people writing at least once a week, so you can practice your writing. Feel free to write without worrying about how good or bad you write in English, the idea is to offer you a space where you can do exactly that: WRITING in English.

Of course, I want you to write as much as possible, do not write just one line, I want to see you practicing. Do not write if you don’t feel like it. I mean, don’t do this just because you have to. I believe that you will have much to say if you feel motivated.

Another possibility that this blog offers to us is that we can upload photos, videos, and one very good thing is that we can share webpages that we find and you consider are important to learn or practice English, so feel free to do it. Please do not upload anything that is not relevant to anybody, or content that might be offensive.

Welcome to our blog, this is yours, use it, enjoy it, practice English, and why not starting by telling everybody who you are, your family, your hobbies, your friends, your pets, your favorite artists/singer/band.

I’ll start by saying my name, I’m Jesús G. Flores, and besides teaching I love to listen to music, I am constantly listening to new albums by lots of bands that I like. I enjoy to listen to electronic music, my favorite bands are Zero 7, Daft Punk, Justice, CSS, and my favorite rock artists are Fito Páez, Charly García, and Café Tacvba. Talking about movies I really enjoy to watch Science Fiction films, and I also enjoy to surf the internet, I spend a lot of time doing it everyday, I am a computer addict.

My capuccino is over by now, so it means that I have to go home and prepare my class for tomorrow. See you in class, and I wait for your first post.
