DESCRIBING WHERE YOU LIVE
I live in Embalse, which is small tourist city in the west of Cordoba in Argentina. Also it is the most populated of the Calamuchita Valley, with a population of over 15,000 people. It is near industrial city, Rio Tercero, and Belgrano Village, so there are a lot of tourism in the summer.
Although, Embalse isn't richer than other cities in Cordoba, it has important hydro-electric and nuclear power plant which provide energy to big cities of Argentina. There are some historic constructions too, for example Embalse Tourist Complex, Fitz Simon Hydrobiologic Plant, Alba Posse Museum, Eva Peron Museum, San Martin de Porres Grotto and so on. Recently many people have invested in properties and lands, there are new residential areas with very modern houses, bars, restaurants and casinos.
The weather in Embalse is mainly warm. Winters are dry and cold and summers are hotter and wetter than before. The landscape is beautiful, similar to the Mediterranean, there is a big lake, brooks and rivers, forest and mountains, the air is so clean and there isn't as polluted as the big cities.
Embalse is famous for its lake which is the symbol of the city. It has a well-known Spring Festival, one of the biggest in the province. In summer there are a lot of nautical competitions, and people do aquatic sports like swimming, sailing, water-skiing, boating, fishing and so on. You can't boring here, it is impossible!
What I like best about Embalse is that we are so close to nature. When I feel tired of my routine, I can easily get out and enjoy going for a walk near the lake, sitting on the beach seeing the sight, just listening to the sound of water, wind and birds.

Describing a Place
Nowaday, I’m renting a small house in the suburb, it is a peaceful location with a lot of trees and mountains, without city noise or pollution so I can enjoy a lot of my own little peace of paradise. As I said, I live alone, that is really great because I don't need ask anybody for permission, I do what I want, like decide about decoration or, for example, choose my electrical household appliances, furnitures, accessories, and so on.
My favourite place at home is my bedroom, although it isn't too big, the space is enough to relax and rest properly. It has a wide window with beige curtains, where I can watch the garden; opposite window there is a door. I painted the walls of different colors, the biggest are white and the smallest are black with some ornaments. In the middle of the room there is a double bed with a beige leather back; next to the bed, on the left and right, there are two wooden night tables with rustic iron lamps. On the the wall in front of bed there is an air conditioning, the summers are too hot here, so I need something to cool the environment. Next to the door there is a wardrobe similar style to night tables, I bought it online three month ago. I haven’t put any picture or painting on the walls yet. I really like a basic decoration, simple and classic, without distractions.
When I was child I shared my bedroom with my siblings. It was huge, but we weren’t allowed to do a lot of changes there, however it didn't matter to us because we spent more time outside, in the kitchen or in the living room, playing, doing homework or watching tv. Now, I like spending time in my room, I hardly ever get bored there. After work, I usually take a little nap, read some e-books or watch movies on my smartphone, so when I feel tired I turn it off easily. The same at night.
In spite of it it is my preferred room, I dislike inviting friends into it. The reasons could be that I’m not at all sociable or, maybe, I’m very jealous with my space and privacity. I’ve only invited my sisters, my mum or nieces because they are close to me. I think I’m like a hermit dedicated to a contemplative life.

Learning English
“Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.”
― Benjamin Franklin
Yesterday was my first English class, I'm currently in third grade. I was a little excited because I met my new classmates, we have different books which are more complex, and I have new expectations. This year I want to be able to express myself freely, be more confident and practice more time, employing all my knowledge.
