This picture shows a smiling Mexican near the 'Big Ben'. This is Parliament Square in London. I requested the police officer to move away but he didn't move (just kidding). Anyway, it was a cloudy but sunny day. The temperature was just perfect and everything was great that day. My son and I wandered around London all day long until we had to go the stadium to see the Chelsea vs. Werden Bremen play in the Champions League.

I thought I'd find those missing names...

Hey! I'm here to update my blog adding those two last blogs' names, but I didn't find them where I told you to write them down. Again, remember all this is to help you. Don't make things difficult for you. There's no sure way to success but through hard work. Sorry, but that's the best thing to do if you want to reach your goals.
Anyway, remember your new assignment. You have to pick one of those three options in your book and write a paragraph, first you have to think about the topic sentence and then develop your paragraph to support your topic sentence. If it doesn't come up perfect don't worry but I need to see you're really trying, OK?!

Helloooo!!

How are y'all!
Hope you're doing great. It's Sunday and I wish I could have some rest but... that's just impossible. There's too much work and too much to do. Somebody told me once that only when I die I'll have the chance to rest.
Anyway, I haven't checked your blogs but I'll do that in a few more minutes. Hope to find good surprises.
I found another good way for you all to practice your English, you'll need your computer, internet connectivity and sound to listen. Check the link I've added, I bet you're going to like it.

Here I am... Again!

First of all, I want to say "I'm sorry" because I didn't have the chance to write for almost two weeks! But, here I am again. Due to technical difficulties I wasn't able to post any entries but the time has come just now when Valentine's day is around the corner. Are you all ready to celebrate such a magical day with your significant other? Don't be ashamed of showing your romantic side, there's nothing wrong with that.
Well, I want you all to remember that you have to write at least twice every week. As I've told you before you can write of anything you like. Just make sure you find something interesting to discuss and share with us and that's it!

An Ad-hoc Post

Hello everybody!
It's Sunday. I usually have very busy weekends, but this weekend has been more than busy because we started our Saturday language courses at the CELEX. Besides that, we also started a course for Saturday and Sunday and here I am, seeing that everything is fine on this weekend course. So I decided to write something and check your work.
I haven't started to ceck yet and before I do it I want it to post this funny note a friend in Nashville sent me. She's originally from Houston, TX, but is now living in Nashville, TN. That's the reason because being in Nashville she always sends me stuff that is related to Texas.
Anyway, hope you all are having a good weekend, though is a bit cold outside.

Cowboy's Ten Commandments posted on the wall at Cross Trails Church in Fairlie , Texas :

(1) Just one God.
(2) Honor yer Ma & Pa.
(3) No telling tales or gossipin'.
(4) Git yourself to Sunday meeting.
(5) Put nothin' before God.
(6) No foolin' around with another fellow's gal.
(7) No killin'.
(8) Watch yer mouth.
(9) Don't take what ain't yers.
(10) Don't be hankerin' for yer buddy's stuff.

Now that's kinda plain an' simple don'tcha think?

Check those links!

Hey everybody!
I've added some new links that I think are really useful, interesting and good to practice. Some include quizzes, some others just provide information and, again, my advice about reading comics to improve your English proficiency remains the same. Read those comics and write those words or expressions you're not familiar with so you can come to class and discuss them to make sure you know how to use them.

It's Tuesday!

Hello everybody!
It's so good to see how much you're working to get the blog thing going on. I can see you're having problems to get things in writing, but don't you worry, that's one of the aims of this activity. The saying goes 'no pain, no gain' and I know you're struggling to get your ideas written in your blogs. At the end I'm pretty sure you'll improve and you'll feel more confident because your level of proficiency concerning the writing skills will have improved. And, who knows... you might improve some other skills as well. This is what this is for, to help you in every aspect possible.
For next time I'll have to assign you a very specific number of words to write down. So, my advice is to write it down in a Word document, count the words and once you are sure about the number of words you'll copy them and paste them in the blog. Hope you're able to understand this instruction and if for some reason there's something you don't understand, don't hesitate to approach me and ask me personally.
Until next time...
