Final entry.

Hello sir, I already checked all the entries out. I corrected every mistake I made as well. 
At least to me, this was a very nice way to put into practice everything we learnt in classes. I cannot overlook the fact that you took your time to tell us what we were doing wrong, so we could improve some aspects about our grammar skills.

Search Warrant.


Some police officers came to my house looking for something illegal I had. As soon as I realized they had a search warrant, I hid some illegal alcohol I was selling to my neighbors. After they spent almost an hour looking for it, they could not find anything. Besides, since they found nothing, they had to leave my house once I asked it. Because I knew they would not give up on trying to bring me down, I left my town to start over in another country. Nowadays I live in a country that is really cold, whereas Sahara desert is extremely hot and dry. Everything I can say is that even though I almost got arrested, I could get away with it, and now I set up the business so far away from my native country.

Entry 4


Something similar to it has never happened to me, but I got a friend who was part of an exchange program some years ago. He told me he was worried because he didn’t know where he would be living. When he found out he was traveling to Sweden, he asked the girl in charge if he was allowed to live by himself in an apartment; however, the girl whose rules were unbreakable refused to let him do it, for she was the one who decided what to do. Once in Sweden, he realized it is a shame that making friends in a new country is not easy, so he used to do whatever in order to avoid feeling lonely. The time went on, and he eventually made some friends; he was invited to one of his friend’s house to have dinner. When he got to the meeting which he was invited to, he could see the houses that belonged to the residential were very colorful by the way, he started eating like a horse and ate everything he was served on the plate. When finished eating, everybody was looking at him kind of mad. He was told by everyone that eating all the food in Sweden was considered disrespectful, of course in CR it’s considered the other way around. Which is why his friend’s father told him the friend he had invited to the meeting was very disrespectful.

Madder Libs


If I had to pick one word I use too much, that word would be “seem”. I really like using it because I feel the speech becomes nice. In fact, I like it because almost everyone uses the expression “looks like” instead, and I always try to sound different from the others. Some days ago I read an English article for my mom and I noticed that word was constantly used, so I can say I am going to keep using it. In regards to the city I would like to visit someday, I have to pick out Toronto out of many others because people find Toronto really astonishing. Besides, I consider Canada an amazing country, so if one day I have the chance to visit it, I’ll do it without even having second thoughts about it. Additionally, I have heard by word of mouth that Canadians are stunning hosts, that’s why Canada became the best destination for many people in the last 20 years.

The day I will never forget.


When I was a child, I studied at Campo Kennedy primary school. I was happy to be part of the marching band, for everyone was expecting to be part of it. I remember once, our leader told us we had to play in a really big parade, so we got really nervous because we knew some of the best marching bands were going to be there as well. That’s why, our leader made us practice very hard every single day, and no one was hesitant we were capable of making a great performance that night. Each of my friends was invited to the parade by my mom, so I couldn’t get them to miss it; of course I was trying to avoid being seen by my close friends. The expected day finally arrived, and everything seemed to be perfect, but once we started playing our leader had us play some songs differently from the way we had practiced. Unfortunately for me, in our final performance in front of lots of people and the judges, I forgot the leader’s instructions and I messed it up. I was really embarrassed because my leader instead of helping me, he came close to me and looked at me full of anger, so it was noticeable for everyone I had made a huge mistake in the most important part of the parade.

The best athlete ever.


A well-trained soccer player, Andres Iniesta has made his career as a Spanish player considered as one of the best athletes in the world. It could be either his great skills or his wonderful personality that makes him be loved by everyone around the world. That means not only his playmates but also his fans look up to him because of the amazing person he is. With his head pointing up, Andres usually runs fast leaving his opponents behind. Besides, there is not a person smarter than him when it comes to make his partners play well. He always says he is very grateful to his parents because both his mother and his father taught him how to be a respectful and disciplined person in life. Furthermore, training every day is the best way to keep in shape and improve his skills because he thinks that “practice makes perfect”. Iniesta has just quit playing for Barcelona; however, he wanted to keep on playing soccer as he was offered to be part of another team. He accepted to carry on playing not in Europe but in Asia. Andres Iniesta, feeling pleasant to be part of one of the best teams of the history, agrees that he is one of the best soccer players.

How do I feel about Grammar VI?

The experience I have had while taking Grammar course has been rewarding so far. As a matter of fact it's rewarding and challenging as well because most of the structures we have gone over are new for me. Being honest, to me Grammar is the most important aspect of learning English because by learning the structures properly I am able to not only communicate but also expand my knowledge. These have been some of the topics we have seen so far: 

  • Morphology classifications
  • Sintax
  • Subject-Verb agreement
  • Pronoun and precedent
  • Indefinite pronouns
  • Conjunctive adverbs
  • Coordinating cunjunctions
  • Parallel structures
I have to admit that it's been no bed of roses, I had been told by some people that Grammar VI would be probably the most demanding course of the major; however, that's what it takes and by making a great effort success is possible to be achieved.
