LA DESPEDIDA

El presente blog es una actividad que el profesor de Ingles Juan enrique Cabrales nos sugirió para mejorar nuestra escritura del idioma ingles. Yo se que lo escrito no es perfecto pero me ha ayudado a darme cuenta que no es lo mismo escribir en Ingles y en Español.
Creo que esta fue una muy buena forma y divertida para el desarrollar de la habilitada de mi escritura en el idioma inglés.
En esta última entrada de igual forma quiero agradecer al profesor de la materia ya que ha sido de gran ayuda en mi desempeño del presente curso por que he aprendido muchas cosas nuevas y decirle que si el próximo semestre se le designa al 6 semestre es bienvenido al grupo.
Los dejo con este pensamiento que me gusta mucho.

"Do not drive more fast than you guardian angel can fly"

Hasta luego.

DAY OF THE DEAD


Hi, boys and girls.


As you know on november 2nd most of the people in mexico celebrate the Day of the Dead.
I say most of the people because many of them have forgotten the celebration and they have changed the Mexican tradition for the American celebration.
Today, I want to share something about myself.
Well, Icome from a small town. So, I have differents customs than a person from the city.
I will tell you some about my custom. In my town, in this huge celebration people go to the grave yard to visit their dead and pray for them. They share with them all the things their dead liked when they were live, spetialy food such as bread mole tanales chocolate and fruit of all kinds.
People built in their house and the graveyard an arch with spetial flowers called "sempuasuchitl" and leaves.The arch represent the gate to the sky. I know that many people from the citty do not believe but I grew up believing in this custome, so I believe it.
Well in this year I could not go to my town because I had lots of homework and also I have to work on weekends, but after all, i am so happy because my father came to Tampico on Sunday and bruoght me many things from my town. He came only for one day but we went to the beach ant we took a lot of photos. On Monday morning he returned back home because he has to work but I was so happy spending time with him.

Ok that´s all for now, bye

MY COMPLAINT

This is an example of a letter of complaint, that was made by the group of 5th semester.

Dear Sir or Madame:

Last weekend my girfrien and I arrived at your popular cafetreia looking for a very nice time to espend together the motto in your window reads "where your frinds are are as spetial as you are," unfortunately your service that day did not reflect those words.

As soon as we arrived there we had chanse at a table and we waiting for almost half an hour for a waiter.

there were not to many people for this happen but I have to point out that the music was good and this help us to be patient. However, when we were finally serviced the waiter spill a cop of coffe of my new brown jacket. It cost it me 50 dollars to have it cleaned. My jacket does not look that good any more.I had never had an experience such as this anywhere.

I hope you can underteand my complaint because I want you to refound the money for another brownd new jacket.

Sincerely yours.

Pedro Garcia.

WRITING A LETER OF COMPLAINT


This an example of the book. I only added some paragraph that was mess.


Dear Sir or Madame:


On july 16 my friends and I arrived at your inn hoping to spend an enjoyable weekend. unfortunately, because of your service, our weekend was a disaster. Since your ad says "have a fabulous time or get your money back," I am recuesting that that you refound uor money.


fron the moment we arrived, there were problems wiht the service. first, a very unfrienly desk clerk could not find our reservation. After waiting almost half an hour, we were led by another unfrienly clerk to our room. the room, which had a view of a parking lot instead of the bay, had not yet cigarette butts in the ashtrays. Dispite these problem, none of your employees apologized to us. This was not the weekend we had been looking forwar to.


service at your inn was not alwais like this. My previous visits were always enjoyable because of the courteuos service and clean rooms with beautiful views. Until things change at your inn, I will never recommend it to anyone. I expect to receive my refound shortly.


sincerely yours,


Pedro Garcia.

SILLY QUESTIONS, BRILIANTS ANDWERS




1.- Why do you think so many people turned down Bowerman's idea?
I think that many people turned down bowersman's idea because they tought that his idea cuold not be success. they wanted to get money not lost and the Browerman's idea does not look as a good business.
2.- Why do you think Smith's profesor gave him a C on the project?
Maybe Smith's profesor found the projec a very good idea, so he traid to steal Smith's idea.
3.- Which idea had led to the most imitation?
I think the atletis shoes because every body use shoes, so the differents shoes companies have tried to get mony looking for news styles and models.
4.- Do you have any ideas for new producs ore service? what are they?
I would like to create a robot that knows how to cook and make the bed.




A CREATIVITY PERSON I KNOW


Lucy Gomes is the most creativity person I know. She started piano lessons when she was only 6 years old. At school, she was always creating interesting projects in her art class. When she was only 12 years old, she won a citywide poetry contest. her parents were very prout of her.

Now Lucy works as a sitcom writer for a popular TV show. She works with a group of writers, and togeters they have to think on fresh ideas. They also have to come come wit funny dialog for the actors on their show because the actors have to play believable caracters tha will make the audience laugh. It is not an easy job, but Lucy does it well.
She starts work late in the morning and often works until 7 or8 at night .

Lucy is very curious. she likes to travel and meet new people who have opinions that are different from hers. She often carries a notebook with her and write down what she sees and hears. Lucy tells me that these new experiences are a good source of ideas for her work. I always enjoy talking to her and am happy to know someone as bright and creative as Lucuy.
