Entry #3 - A Memorable Journey. Composition 1 - 2025

Thanks to my job, I have had the opportunity to get my passports full of stamps, however one of my favorite trips has been to Las Vegas by far. As soon as you land you will know you are in a different place, when I stepped out of the plane, I saw slot machines next to the gates with people sitting in them at 2 pm on a Tuesday. Most hotels have casinos, I stayed at the Mandalay Bay and it also had one, a huge one for that matter, it is not my cup of tea mainly because I do not like losing money and people are allowed to smoke inside so the whole place smells like an ashtray, a very used one, which there are several of in Las Vegas, one ashtray for each machine and there are thousands of them. As you can tell the casinos were not my favorite part of the trip, but the food and the views were magnific, there are so many beautiful places, including the casinos, some of them are decorated with Greek art and some of them recreate landscapes and buildings from other parts of the world, my favorites were the Eiffel tower and the Venice canals.

Entry #4 - My Favorite Summer Vacation. Composition 1 - 2025

 My favorite summer vacation has been going to Cuba, I was 17 years old so it was a couple of years ago, however, I can still remember the beautiful landscapes Cuba had to offer. On the first day, we arrived at La Habana. I was a bit disappointed because the city was dirty, filled with trash, and poverty, and many people in the street trying to help us for some money in exchange, but when we got to the rural areas everything was completely different, there were mountains, we rode horses through valleys with wonderful scenery, and we swam in the most pristine beaches you can imagine, no waves and the water so clear you could see your feet when you look below.  For dinner, we had the most delicious fried fish I have ever had, with beans and rice, then we went to the party the host in the streets of Viñales, all the locals normally meet in the center of town to listen to music, drink beer, and dance salsa.

Entry #10 - Opinion about the class.

 There are several lessons I have taken from this course; however, the most useful one, in my opinion, is the creation of essays and also the types. It is very important because, as a future teacher, I would like to focus on research to facilitate learning a second language, and the construction of expository and argumentative essays is key in this matter. Another very important detail I learned from this class was the use of commas and proper punctuation. I like to think I have a C2 level, but every day, you realize there is so much more yet to learn. One more important lesson was definitely the distinction between compound and simple sentences, which includes a very important detail that are connectors, connectors are key when writing, so I was very happy when I was able to learn multiple connector words and how to use them with their proper punctuation. This class is very important as it allows the student to be creative and forces the student to write, which is a great idea tha...
