Summer Holiday



Hello my friend!!!


I'm so excited two posts in one day,and this blog is only for me like a personal diary, however I want to talk about my holiday, yeah my friend, after 6 weeks studing already holiday, I like it!


As is end of the year at the school there are graduations, my graduation was last week and my average score was 2 (ISLPR) scale, it's means: BASIC SOCIAL PROFICIENCY, able to satisfy social needs and the requirements of routine situations pertinent to own everyday commerce and recreation an to linguistically undemanding vocational fields. I needed to check what it is means by google :-P but it is not finished I won two certificate of recognition one for achieving the highest class result for speaking skills with 69% accuracy and another for achieving 100% attendance, yes my friend the English course is too expensive, of course I will be there every day all the classes!


I have got more eight weeks next year my "normal classes" is starts on February and finish on April, but I don't want to stay in Australia until April, because I miss my dog :-( well, I want get the summer course on January because I can advance four weeks so I can finish on March, I know the summer course is very intensive eight hours per day, five days per week. The summer course is for who want get some technology course and need more score, on the ISLPR scale is 2+, so if I wanted get some technology course I needed only a + (plus), because I have got 2 already.

It's time to eat, I'm starving!

Why a blog?


Hello my friend!

I decided to create this blog because I belive how much write more learn. What am I talking about? In learn English my friend. I'm going to talk a little about that and me next lines.

I'm from a country in South America, I studied English one year only 2 hours per week, I learned about simple present and a little simple past. Some months ago I've been working in the cruise ship as assistent waiter, so there I could practice what I know. Now I am in Australia because I was belived if I studied here I could learn more about English, yes I can, but first of all I should learn about the English basic grammar, so that is a big problem, because in my English school they don't teach about that.

My first day at school was disaster, they gave a test to know which level I'm the coordinator told me I can choose between beginner or pre-intermediate, I chose beginner because if that class was not enough I could ask another better class. Here I come in the class, first: all the students come from some Asian country, Asian people they have more difficulty speaking than other people I think. Second: as all good Asian people they love tecnology, all of them had a eletronic dictionary, and me with my old and friend pocket dictionary book, while everybody done the exercise I was leafing my book, ow God that was taking my time! Third: the teacher could not stop speaking I was lost, what the f***she was talking about, and about that pile of paper she never stops giving with execise, and suddenly she puts a cd to play and I should write about I understood, and the worst is comming, we watched news on tv and we should write a summary about the news, now can I ask something???

How can I write about obesity, cause and effect about pollution, compare and contrast something, write essays, I can not write essay in my own language, come on I was thinking this class is begginer class, right?? Ow , I was so frustrated with tears on my eyes, and during one month I was just complaining about the wrong methodology, but now let's make it works my friend, I already paied fourteen weeks at school, I already spent money enough to buy more than one new popular car in my country, so stop complaining and go work my friend!!!

That's why I'm here writing, no woorying if I'm writing correct grammatically or not, the main point is write, only this write, write, and write.

I belive that I'm on the right way!!!
