Good job I'm actually working in a center teaching IT to old people, I have to go only twice a week for a couple of hours and I really enjoy it. Every day is different with them, they are people who really want to learn different things (not only about IT) and they have a strong determination for getting their goals. In general, they are very grateful people which give me more motivation in my job. I have to confess that some days I felt a bit stressful working with them because they are very impatient too, even though, I have realized that I love teaching above all things and that makes me feel better. I think that I set my heart on my explications every day and my boss is satisfied because she appreciates the fact that I'm interested on doing my job as well as I can.

Big decision My scholarship was accepted last week and now I have to decide where I would like to go for improve my English. I’m very excited for this opportunity but I’m also feeling a bit nervous. I don’t know where I’d go; London is a great option but New York could be awesome too. On one hand, I’m from Spain and my parents say that I might go to London because I would be more near from my country so I could travel more often. Maybe they are right but I still have many doubts and I only have 2 weeks for decide it! I’m going to talk with my friends too and I’ll listening their opinions and maybe I’ll do a list of advantages and disadvantages of both options, nevertheless whatever be my final decision I’m sure that it’s going to be an incredible experience for me.

Answering a friend Hello Susan: I’m so excited to hear good news from you! Your idea about the food is quite interesting, you can come here whenever you want, I have to work during mornings but when you decide to come I’ll request for a vacation week. Although, if you want to know what kind of food people used to cook at home you could ask to anyone on the streets and take notes about their answers, people are very nice over here. Don’t worry about restaurants because there are places here where we can go and taste different kinds of traditional food. There is one of them next to my flat where they cook an amazing Spanish omelet, you’ll love it! I wish go to your country and stay there a couple of days when you open your restaurant, but I won’t can ask for another week in my job, sorry for that. Best wishes.

New Year's resolutions Every New Year’s Eve most people have in mind lots of resolutions that they’ll tried to carry out. I don’t exactly know what happen during the year with those resolutions (if people really achieve it or not) but in my particularly case resolutions never works. I strongly believe that if you want to do something you don’t need to wait until the year is finishing for make a resolution and say: “This is going to be my year, I’ll do it!” I think that it hasn’t got any sense really. Anyway, maybe resolutions are made as a challenge like a kind of philosophy when you think “I’m going to start this New Year very well, so I’ll…” and then you starts to think about several things that you could change in your life. When I meditate about resolutions I can’t avoid feel a bit ridiculous because we don’t need to think in resolutions when New Years is coming, if you want to do something just go for it! And never mind if it’s on April, September or December. I don’t know, maybe it’s only a kind of motivation but it doesn’t work for me.

Crazy day Ana had a very special reason for getting up early the next day, so she set the alarm for 5 am. Unfortunately, she fell asleep and she didn’t wake up until 6 am so she didn’t have breakfast and she ran to her job where she might to do a presentation about different kinds of products that are offered by her company. When she arrived at the office, her boss was waiting for her with a lot of work so Ana explain to him the reason to arrive late and she apologized with him. The conference would start in two hours and they had a lot of work to do, it was a very long day for Ana.

People interesed in...? Someone to do a 15-20 minutes conversation on Skype right now? We can do 5 minutes in English and 5 in Spanish!

What would happen if...? When you think about society and meditates on how people spend their free time in different activities, maybe you realize that money it's more important than we believe. Then is when you mentally says the expression "If I were rich..." and immediately you starts to think about lot of crazy things (or maybe not too crazy) that you could do with money and life. So if I won a lot of money I’d probably get very crazy! First of all, I’m sure that a huge part of that money will be for my family, specially my parents, who deserve a comfortable life like they gave it to me. Another part of it maybe I'll save it for my future and the rest of it I’d try to spend it for that some of my little dreams comes true like traveling around the world with my best friends or buy a house where I could have a horse and ride it at weekends (I love horses!) and dogs, I'd have dogs everywhere! I don’t know, I’d can do a lot of things with all this money but If I hadn't anyone with I could share it, I'm sure that it would be very boring and that's exactly the point because... Where is the fun if you can't share it?

Practicing with e-mails Hi Sarah How are you? I hope that everything is OK; it has been a long time since I had news from you! As you know, Christmas is around the corner and this year I’m going to pass it with my uncles in New York. Everyone says that NY is a magical city where you can live an unforgettable Christmas. I know that you’re going to study for your exams during Christmas but I was wondering if you can have a break for a couple of days and come with me to New York! I’ll talk with my uncles but I’m sure that they won’t have any problems about it! I hope you'll visit me one day and we’ll talk better about this. Best wishes,
