**INTRODUCING YOURSELF**

Hi everyone! My name is Sonia. I´m 18 years old. I was born in the D.F. I´m studying psychology. I like listening to music and singing along, I like going to the theater and watching good movies too, I also like going out with my friends and family. I live in Valle de Aragon, an hour and a half from CELE. There are four people in my family: my parents, my little sister and me, we also have a dog called Downy. I don´t have a boyfriend. I only speak Spanish but I'm learning English. I´m a sociable person. I love laughing because that is the way I can release my stress. I love eating, but also cooking. I think there is no recipe for happiness, but love and respect is a good start. my family. Someday, I'd like to sing as an opera singer.

My favorite person is my sister, her name is Diana. She is medium height and slim. She is young, she is only 13 years old. She is fair skinned and she has a mole in her face. Her hair is long, dark and wavy. She has big brown eyes and long eyelashes. She has a cleft chin and a round nose.

Jessica wrote this impression about my introduction: Oh! I like listening music and going out with my family too. I wanted to study psychology but I decided on law finally. Corrected by Rodolfo. --- **FAMILY AND FRIENDS**

Angel has a big family. He has one sister and one brother. He doesn't have any family in other countries. He has family reunions everyday because he lives with his grandparents.

**KITCHEN TIP**: If you have green avocados, wrap them in a newspaper sheet and store them in the oven.

**FAVORITE DISH**: I love spaghetti with meatballs. It is prepared with spaghetti (spaghetti, cream, butter, salt and onion), meatballs (ground beef, rice, raw eggs and hard-boiled egg) and chipotle sauce (chipotle chilies, tomatoes, oil, onion, garlic, powdered broth and water). My mother prepares this dish once a month maybe. I love spaghetti with meatballs because I like italian food.

The best way to drink a milkshake is to drink it slowly because you can enjoy and taste it. **GOOD LUCK**

Team 7

1.- Do you think that people create their own destiny?, why? 2.- Do you know the meaning of fickle?

**INVICTUS**
 * How do you get inspired?
 * What did it mean to Mandela that South Africa won the Rugby World Cup?


 * CEPE**

There are 3 things I learnt: The words starch and pods and the pronunciation of them. There are 3 things I liked: meeting new people, good atmosphere and practicing my pronunciation. There are 3 things I suggest: talking to more than one person, discussing different topics and a longer session.


 * VACATIONS**

Last week I went to Pachuca where I saw some movies and ate seafood with my family (my parents, my sister, some aunts, uncles, cousins and my grandparents). The other days I did my major homework and studied for an exam.




 * MY FAVORITE OBJECT**

My favorite object is a painting. My grandmother painted it when I was born and she gave it to me as a present. The painting is about a vase of flowers. It's important to me because it reminds me OF my grandmother and her love for me.


 * DORIAN GRAY QUESTIONS**

Yes, I read it last semester.
 * Have you read this book?

No, because w e have to live all stages in good time. I think each stage of life is special in their own way and we have to enjoy every one of them.
 * Would you make the same wish as Dorian? Why?


 * EDUARDO'S ANECDOTE**

An administration teacher told Eduardo that he wasn't dressed properly for the occasion and that he couldn't present his topic.

I think that a good solution could be asking the teacher to give him the chance to present his topic because he had been working hard for that and the next time he would know what the dressing code is.


 * MY ANECDOTE**

At high school I did a team job with other classmates, but we didn't notice that we had written our group number incorrectly. When we gave our essay to the law teacher, she refused to check it because of the group number although the rest of the essay was complete. We worked for nothing. :(


 * UNDER THE SAME MOON**

Scene number 4 takes place in a parking lot, when the police took the couple´s car there with the kid inside. The kid managed to escape but he forgot his money into the car.


 * CEPE E-MAIL**

Hi Masayi!

We hope you are well. We are CELE students and we would like to give a brief feedback about you presentation on the festival "Drinks and Rituals".

Three things we liked are:
 * The pictures about the making process of sake.
 * The samples you brought were a nice detail.
 * Your pronunciation was clear and the presentation was complete, interesting and funny.

Three things we learned are:
 * The history of sake.
 * The different ways to drink it.
 * Sake is similar to tequila in Mexico.

Some suggestions we WOULD like to give you MAKE are:
 * We were at the back and we couldn't hear you very well, why don't you try to speak louder the next time?
 * We enjoy listening to Japanese language, please share it with us the next time.
 * Please remember: A smile says more than words.

Thanks for your presentation. Have a nice day!


 * WHEN I WAS A CHILD...**

I used to go to a dance lesson twice a week. I used to eat flowers like roses. I used to enjoy my swimming lessons. I didn't use to like to eat vegetables.


 * REVIEW OF A CONCERT**

Last year I went to a concert given by one of my favorite bands: Keane. It is a british band that plays indie rock and makes beautiful music. Its members are four talented guys: Tom (vocalist), Tim (keyboardist), Richard (drummer) and Jesse (bassist). Keane has always been well received in Mexico.

It took place in the Arena Ciudad de Mexico. More than 12,000 people enjoyed the concert. It started at nine p.m. with another band but I was impatient for listening to Keane. When the band came on stage everybody shouted and I was very excited. I sang and enjoyed every song like there's no tomorrow. I did not sit during the concert. I was so excited that I hit the guy who was sitting next to me twice, of course that wasn't on purpose. Shortly before the end, the vocalist started to sing with a mexican flag on his back. In response, the audience sang //Cielito Lindo// and then the band played one of their most iconic songs.

I didn't want it to end but when it happened, I still felt excited and happy. I didn't mind that there was a lot of traffic or that I would sleep a few hours because I had to go to school. The concert was awesome and I´ll never forget it.

I enjoyed speaking with my partner. The only problem was that sometimes we didn't know how to say some ideas or words but we could understand each other.

**QUESTIONS FROM "THE HUNGER GAMES"**

Will people try to escape from an unfair law?

**QUESTIONS ABOUT LEISURE**

I worked with Fernando and he told me that he went to a soccer game once. The match took place in Toluca. He went with his sister. He enjoyed the match although his team lost.

About me, I went to a soccer game too. It took place in the Blue Stadium. I enjoyed the match as much as Fernando did. Unfortunately, the final score was 0-0.

There are many leisure activites I have done. For instance, I have been at Six Flags many times because I love going there and riding on the Superman's roller coaster.
