Challenge. Exercise 1. 1. Last month, when I was walking on the main street looking for a pair of boots, I discoveres a new home appliances store. I got in and they sell very remarkable stuffs. The one that I'd like to buy is a washbasin in wood, that is very simple, but beautiful. 2. My friend Sara told me when she traveled to China, had some troubles to use their toilets, because they're lower than ours and she's very tall. 3. I neet to by another bathroom scale. The last time I weigh myself I had one more pound, later when I went to the nutritionist, on her scale I had two pounds less. I think my scale is broken! 4. This year I had changed three toilet paper holders! All had been in plastic, and now I want to buy a metal one. I think it will be more long-lasting. 5. I was looking for new english vocabulary. When I was checking a bathroom store, I found a plastic toilet brush thai is hidden into a ceramic cat. So, you can have this decoration and the guests you'll receive at home won't event notice it!

July 25, 2015 Hi everyone! 1. The other day I was reading about a seventy years old russian woman or so that participates in ultramarathon races. That's awesome! I can barely run two miles. She's definitely fit as a fiddle. 2. Eleven months ago I quit ingesting sugar and fluor in my dairy intake. Yes, I don't eat absolutely any sugar. Now I feel more energetic and healthy, instead a year ago I felt exausted and I had always bad mood. When someone tells me that I am very thin and how great I look is music to my ears. 3. My eleven years old daughter loves the Monster High products. She has some of these dolls and she really enjoys to read de Monster High magazine, to watch the T.V. program and all that jazz. Even though they don't like me a lot, I'm learning all their names and also their stories. 4. My dear friend Tom smoked about 20 cigars a day. He never had considered to quit, until his father got a very aggressive lung cancer, so he changed his tune, now he exercises, eats healthy food and visits at the hospital some cancer patients. 5. Peter is an alcoholic man, that has had may differents jobs, because usually his bosses fire him because of his lack of responsability. His last boss accepted him to work for him so that Peter could started a new life in spite of his reputation. Peter was irresponsible again and arrive drunk to work, so he had to face the music and he had to leave the job again.

July 24, 2015. Hi everyone! Today I made a mistake. I missunderstood my instructions and I arrived 12 hours before a job meeting!!! I usually think that I need to pay more attention, but today I could realize it, because sometimes I am a little bit distracted. However I am happy because this mistake doesn't hurt anyone, it's just about I get up very early to take a shower and to get dress. I wanted to be punctual, because the last meeting I have with my boss I arrived 5 minutes later. When I apologized because I was late, he said there was no problem, obviously I didn't believe, because 4 minutes before I arrived there, he send me a SMS saying: "Jéssica, we're waiting for you". Now I want to sleep. Maybe I'll take a nap. Anyway it's time to have my breakfast and I'll drink some coffee. Thanks a lot for the corrections!

July 23, 2015 Hi everyone! I've been listening some podcasts that I found. I also found on youtube some videos very interesting and useful one of these is englishpod101, and the other one is engvid. I like a lot the one that I mencioned at last, they are from Canada, I like that English. Is there any difference between the canadian English and the american English? Have I mencioned we have some female cats? One of these is a little bit fat, so she doesn't reach the zone near the tail and the hair is tangled! We decided to brush her hair, but the knots are very tight. Anyway she doesn't complain, she seems pleased! Today I'll continue brushing Teté (that's her name) and I hope the knots will be untangled today! Thanks a lot for your help to improve my writen skills!

21 luglio 2015 Ciao a tutti! A casa abbiamo diverse gatte. Mia madre è innamorata degli animali, cioè le piacciono molto. Una di queste gatte è un po' grassa. Da un tempo a oggi il pelo che si trova sulla schiena, molto vicino alla coda si è ingarbugliato. Penso che lei non riesca a pulirsi, visto che è un po' grassa, quindi abbiamo deciso di spazzolarla. Purtroppo i nodi sono molto difficili da sciogliere. Comunque sembra che a lei piacessero molto questi momenti, perché comincia a fare le fusa e a stroffinarsi sulle pareti. Grazie delle correzioni!

Sono in attesa oppure sto aspetttando? Ciao a tutti! Vorrei sapere se posso usare in maniera indistinta "sono in attesa" e "sto aspettando". Ad esempio: "sono in attesa del mio appuntamento dal dentista, ma mi sento disperata visto che ho tanto dolore" oppure "sto aspettando in maniera disperata l'appuntamento dal dentista, visto che ho tanto dolore". Grazie delle risposte! Jéssica
