Samara

Hi! My name is Samara, I’m 18 years old. I was born here in Mexico City and and I've lived here all my live. I’m studying Psychology. In my free time, I like playing videogames, watching movies, going out, sometimes reading and doing things with my family, with my friends or my boyfriend. I only speak Spanish but I’m learning English. My house is like 25 minutes from the University.
 * Introducing myself **

I have some favorite people, this time I’m going to talk about my brother. His name is Fernando, he is 11 years old. He is short and thin, his hair is short and dark, his eyes are brown and his eyelashes are large. His skin is fair. He is very funny and intelligent, he loves drawing and he also likes listening to music, watching tv series, playing videogames and soccer. I really love him.

 * My expirience **

* Who usually prepares it: My mom. * When you eat it: We only can eat it from July to September because only in these months there is promegranate. So, we don't need a special date, we eat it when my mom want to do it. * Why you like it: I don't know, maybe the combination of ingredients make the dish very delicious... I love them. * Ingredients: Chilies, some ground pork, a onion, cloves of garlic, some acitron, some salt, some milk, some oil, red tomatoes, some parsley, almonds, apples, pomegranates and walnuts.
 * My favourite dish is: Chilies in Nogada or Chilies in walnut sauce. **

** A nice simple and delicious sandwich *** It's important to have breakfast, when you don't have time for make a great dish, this is the best option.* You need to have cheese, ham, mayonnaise and slices of bread.* The best is to eat it after putting in a maker of toasted sandwich... The melted cheese is the best.* Try to use oaxaca cheese. * Don't forget waiting until the sandwich is cold... You can burn your mouth. I think I’m good __in__ grammar and maybe __in__ writing too, but in vocabulary I’m really very lost, for that reason, I’m a little bad in reading. My pronunciation I think is good. I find difficult to understand the listening. I can’t speak very well because when I am with other English speaker people, I get nervous and the words don’t come easy to me ¡I need to practice a lot!
 * My English **

My last ho__ly__days were very fun. I’m going to say what I did day per day because I did different things each day. On Saturday I cleaned my house and I started my homework but after I thought “I am on holidays and on holidays I don’t do homework”, so the rest of the day I watched movies and played videogames with my brother and my boyfriend. On Sunday my family and I went to my grandma’s house, we were there all day, I played videogames with my cousins and I looked after my two favorite nephews, I really love them. On Monday I did the same that on Saturday, with the difference that I was with my cousins. On Tuesday I went to Loreto mall with my best friend. On Wednesday I went to my boyfriend’s house because was his cousin’s birthday. On Thursday I bought some play station games with my brother, and in the evening, my family, my friends, my boyfriend and I were in the street because in my colony there are Judas. On Friday I went with my boyfriend and his family to Thepe resort. On Saturday we were again in the Judas, and I also was with one my favorite nephews and at night my cousins, my boyfriend and some friends played football. On Sunday I finished the homework that I didn’t do the first Saturday of holidays. ¡I liked a lot my vacations!
 * My ho__lyd__ays **

<span style="font-family: Corbel,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">I have a small Rugrats cartoon box and a Tommy doll. When I was four or five years, my dad had to go to USA for working. He stayed there one year and on my birthday they sent my **(me-Fernando)**the box and three Rugrats dolls, Angelica, Tommy and Carlitos. For differents**(** **<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Corbel,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 1.5;">different- Fernando) **<span style="font-family: Corbel,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">reasons, in this time I don't have two of the dolls. But the box and Tommy are things that I love with all my heart for three resons **<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Corbel,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 1.5;">(reasons-Fernando) **<span style="font-family: Corbel,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">: 1) My dad gave it to me when he was in USA and the things were the only way to feel him near me, 2)The Rugrats cartoon was, is and always going to be my favourite cartoon and 3) I remember my childhood with these things.

<span style="font-family: Corbel,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 1.5;">* Do you think people are too concerned with being young in today's society? <span style="font-family: Corbel,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Yes, I do. I think a lot of people, and more women that men, are concerned with the young topic because a lot of them spend a great amount of money buying beauty products, they doing excessive exercise and also going in search of surgeries. These people worry only in looking well outside without the concern of their health.

<span style="font-family: Corbel,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">* "Your personality is written on your face". What does this quote mean? Do you agree with it? <span style="font-family: Corbel,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">I think the quote wants to tell us that with only seeing the face or the external appearance of the people we can know how is them personality. Initially I was agree with it, but when my team and I talked about it, Monica said us that she wasn't agree because the people can look like a good people but when really you meet them, they are all the contrary and backward too. And I think she has reason.

<span style="font-family: Corbel,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 1.5;">Eduardo told us __in l__ast class that his management teachers are very strict with the topic about clothes. He says that in a occassion <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Corbel,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">(**occasion-Fernando**) <span style="font-family: Corbel,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">a teacher didn't want he gave his exposition because he wasn't dressing "appropiately". <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Corbel,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">( **<span style="font-family: Corbel,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">appropriately **<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Corbel,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">)

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Corbel,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 1.5;">We are CELE students. We were in the auditorium when you presented a traditional beverage from your country. We liked your presentation a lot, you did it very nicely, and we could understand how to prepare tea; we also learned how important it is in Russian culture. We would like to suggest you should use the microphone, because some people couldn’t hear you. And we would love to have a taste of Russian tea, if it possible.

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Corbel,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 1.5;">Thanks for your participation in this activity. We would love to attend another presentation of yours.

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Corbel,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 1.5;">Regards, Zendy, Monica, Samara and Miroslava

I thought that my aunt's sculpture was a other common sculpture, but I was wrong. Days after I received it, one of my nephew was running around the sculpture when he crashed with it and it dropped. Inside of the sculpture there was a letter, it said "the person who has this sculpture will die unless he or she...

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Corbel,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 1.5;">My team and I talked about the scene where the boy’s mom is in her job. At the beginning, she is in her boss’s houses looking after for the baby, when the baby’s mom arrives, the boy’s mom left the house and in the outside of it, she meets with her friend or boyfriend [we don’t know] and start to talk about the legal papers that she and her son need for living in the United State like Americans. The topic of the talk starts because the friend/boyfriend asks her if she wants to married with him.

==**<span style="color: lime; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">Hi Samara, I think your personal page is great, your writing is good and extensive, in fact I found a little difficult to understand some sentences due my poor vocabulary. I only found three mistakes that are marked above, I like you have a good relationship with your brother. I wish you good luck in your next exams but now I have curiosity, what happened with Angelica and Carlitos? **==
