Going walking in the mountains is not only going walking There are several levels of difficulty to spend a day or more walking in the mountains. But all of them have a lot of things in common to keep you safe. Firstly you have to prepare every detail about the way. You should have looked for information about where the route stars and finishes, you could get a map, for example. Also, if there are some fountaines with water to drink or some resturant nearby. Secondly, make sure you are going to carry on all things that you can need before you star your trip. Remember not to put on new boots if you are going to walk a long distance or more than one day. You should put it on the first time in a short walk to try it. Don´t forget to put in your backpack food like chocolate, nuts, almonds in case you or other can need it. And the most important: enough water to drink, especially if the day is sunny. Finally, it is better go in group or with another person but if it is not possible, don´t forget to tell someone where you are going and when you will come back. In the mountains, the day before is very important. Remember it!.

My English exam Two week ago I did the final English exam in the Laguages school. I had thought not to do it because the last two months I hadn´t could go to class. I was very busy (and lazy with the English) and I hadn´t studied enough during the year. These were my thoughts...... I was sure that I would fail the exam; but anyway I went to try my luck. The first day I was working and I had to ask permission to go out sooner as normal. The exam was in the afternoon and I arrived tired after work. We began the writting. The first was about a story competition in my school and I had to write a story. Unfortunately I didn´t understand well what was the topic and my first writting was a complete disaster. The second was better. I wrote and informal e- mail, it was quite easy for me. The next part was listening. I read the questions and concentrated to listen to. Luckily I could understand very well the woman who was speaking and I began to feel happy, perhaps my exam wouldn´t be so bad. At the end, I only wish to finish, I was exhausted. Reading was not so easy as I hoped, but I had read a lot the before year and I was self- confident. The following day I was going to speaking exam. This is the worst part for me. Having to speak English with a unknown person, who is as nervous as I, in front of a tribunal makes me drive crazy for some hours. Just before the teacher said my name I was thinking of run away.... Keep calm, keep calm, repeated into my head..... Finally I started speaking and nervous disappeared.... Yesterday I went to look at my califications and incrediblely I passed the exam!!!! After that, I have proposed to study a little in summer, write from time to time here, read some English book.... who knows?? Perhaps I get it.

I am here again!!! Hi everybody!! I was missing for moths because I was busy with so many things: exams, work, some race, my new nephew..... I would like to tell you that I finished my course in the Language School and I passed my exams with a good mark!!!! In summer I am not going to have class but I don´t want without contact with English because I could forget everything that I learned, so....... I am in Italki again!!! I hope your corrections and to learn more and more.... Thanks!!!!

Running Have you ever run on a winter sunny morning? It´s an amazing experience. I started to go running three years ago. At the first I am not very constant and when I run I suffer a lot but little by little I became to feel good. Now I can´t live whithout running. The weather where I live is rainy, especially in winter. Going running is less nice when it´s raining. Last two week it was raining all the time.... until today!! I woke up one hour and I looked through the window and..... surprise!! Today is sunny!! I have to have my breakfast quickly and go out. I can´t wait because the weather is very changing and it never knows. Perhaps I put on my running shoes while the sky is covered with clouds...... I hope that the sun is shining for next two hours......

My job Sometimes I think I have the best job in the world but another times I would like to have a different job. I´m a nurse and now I´m working in a critical care unit. It might be exciting many times but if you have so much excitation it can became stressful. I have working in this unit since 2005 and every day there are new things to learn. But I believe that nobody should be working in a critical care unit for many years because it can drive you crazy. I love being a nurse. However, yesterday night I was working and thought that the moment to leave critical care is coming......not yet.....but in a few years or months..... who knows?? We will see....

First notebook entry: Introducing myself Hello!! My name is Sara and I´m trying to learn English. I´ve studied English for years when I was a child. I studied gramatic and some vocabulary but my teachers never taugh me to speak. After that I missed quite every things I had learnt. Some years later I want to learn to speak English because I love travelling all over the world and English is necessary if you want to travel. My native language is Spanish. I have always lived here, in different cities, but in Spain. I like playing sports. I love running and cycling. The best thing that you can do in a sunny winter morning is train on the beach. It´s amazing!! Also, this year I have started to do yoga. It make me feel relax and happy. I´m nurse and in my job I suffer a lot of stress, so yoga is fantastic for me!!
