 * Aubergine.
 * Mozzarella cheese.
 * Onion

1. When you eat too spicy food, put salt in your hand and eat it. 2. For guacamole not to be too spicy add lemon juice. 3. When casserole is too salty, put some potatoes and don't forget remove them.

= Concert =

Last year I went to a concert given by a British indie rock band called The Kooks. I went with a friend. The concert took place at El Plaza Condesa, all the tickets sold out; they had to open a new date. I arrive there at 7 P.M. and I was very excited, because The Kooks are one of my favorite bands. The concert began at 8:30 P.M. When The Kooks started to sing everybody shouted. And when they sang “She moves in her own way” I almost cried. When the concert finished I was so tired, were there a lot of people but I could go home without problems. I really enjoyed the concert.

Hi Amairani and Alan! We are Patricia, Jessica and Gabriela. We hope you are fine. We were in your presentation at CELE’s auditorium, last March 22 and we liked it. In your presentation, we learned that we can add hibiscus flowers to the punch and that the punch’s origin isn’t in Mexico, the colonization brought cultural elements to our country. The things we liked about the punch were that the punch is a symbol of our Christmas time also the punch’s flavor is sweet. A good idea for the next session is that you should bring a sample of the beverage, even though we know that punch is difficult to prepare because most of the ingredients are only available in December. That way we can have a explanation while we are tasting the punch with hibiscus flowers. Thank you for your time of reading this letter. We would like to see you soon talking about another Mexican drink.

Greetings from Patricia, Jessica and Gabriela.

 * Hi Patricia, I would like to know more about you because I think, in your introduction you should put more things about you, for example, why are you learning English?. **
 * On the other hand, I recommend you to do more exercises on your page for practic__e__ your grammar and your writing. **
