Cats, a before and an after.
I didn’t know what can I write about, so I decided to write about cats.
I had never lived with pets like dogs or cats. When I was child my parents didn’t let me get a dog (and I was very very very insistent, asking for a dog day and night, everyday, I was very annoying… nowadays I’m grateful for that, because I think I wasn’t mature enough and probably my parents end up having to take care of him).
For that reason, when I grow up, I didn’t understand why people with dogs, or cats, talk to them as they were childs. I thought they were a little crazy and it made me laught.
But everything changes some years ago when I knew my boyfriend. By that time he had two cats so it can be said that I became their “stepmother”. Cats usually have a bad name. People say that they are too independent and they only look for themselves. But it is not true! They are even annoying asking for loving care and they do everything in herd: they sleep together, they play together, they clean each other ..etc
Since I live with pets my vision about animals in general has changed. Before I live with them, I liked animals but... I don’t know how to explain….I just saw “an animal”. But now I can say they are like people and if you live with them, they truly became part of the family. And now, I see myself talking to them and I know that, for those who have never had pets I look like a crazy woman (yes, I was in their shoes). But I don’t care :).

"I hear you've got a new job. How are you getting on?"

Could you help me, please?

My fear of speaking English
Hi, my name is Paula and I’ve been trying actively to learn english since about one year ago, but I think I didn’t find the right method (I used Duolingo and similar apps) and I didn’t want to step out of my confort-zone so I didn’t learn a lot.
I’m going to change my plan: I’ve done a schedule where I have written the whole necessary matters to learn a language (not only reading and listening which are the only ones that I have been studing until now ).
I’m going to practice three days a week for two hours each day. And each day I’m going to study one of the matters: writting, listening, gramar, listening, pronunciation, reading and the most feared by me: speaking :$.
I fear it because I’m not very outgoing in my own language so you can imagine in one that I don’t speak well talking with somebody I didn’t know…
I have spoken english when I traveled to foreign countries and I have no other alternative to speak. But nothing else.
And here in Spain when a friend of mine has tried to speak in english with me to practice, I don’t Know why, my mouth is locked, even if I know the answer and I understand everything, I don’t know what happens that I can’t talk. It's not rational. The feeling is similar to jump from a springboard. You see it from a lateral view and think “bah It’s not too high” but when I am above it and the more think about jumping, the more my body get stucked and I just don’t dare.
So I’m going to sing up for clases. The spent money may be enough motivation to take the plunge.
