A Date with my boyfriend
It is a cloudy day. It is perfect to hang out with my boy friend the yellow and hot sunlight will not be a problem to go out. It is five o’clock and the scented aroma from the food that my mom bought is disappearing. I just have something to say as the hand of the clock goes on: It is time to go out. The grey color of the sky is agreeable and the weather is not hot anymore. The grass and the branches at the top of the trees are rocking because of the fresh wind. I am in front of the bus stop there is just a long red way to walk through.

I take the green bus and I arrive to my destination faster than I thought. Finally I am in front of his big and blue house. He is waiting for me outside. I take his soft and warm hand as we walk through the broken streets. The noise from the traffic jam becomes nothing because of the good conversation. Cars of all colors and shapes come and go. The windy breeze goes though our black hair until we arrive to our next destination Villasuncion

Villasuncion this mall is full of other interesting places, There is a plenty of salty and sweet food. It is fantastic being able to smell all those odors, the melted cheese from pizza, the crunchy and toasted read from subway and why not to say it? the oily aroma of donuts and chocolate together but the best part is going to Fabricas de Francia, The aroma from new clothes, the color of the giant rugs and the fragrance from chocolate makes it unique; we usually go there to eat some gummies and crispy chocolate flakes.

After a good meal we use to return home. We walk through the brilliant and flat floor of villasuncion to arrive to the bus stop. Aromas disappear again as we walk away. The sky is clear and the pink sunset appears. Lots of people are waiting for the bus; their whispers will be always disturbing or calm. The green bus has arrived again, we take it as we see new edifices, it is time to home.

The long red path is walked again, children’s laughter is present along they way because of the hour, and finally we are at home. A date with my boyfriend is always funny and full of surprises, it is cool when we get hungry and we have a lot of money to spend in food, but the best part is spend time with him. He is so calm and funny; I hope I can spend more time with him in the future

Utility of Electronic tools in L1/L2

We use them to redact documents, to get information in seconds, to express our opinion without moving from our chair. All these things are possible to do; you just need a computer and internet access, which is the reason for the popularity of these tools. In this essay you are going to read: how I started using those tools, the usefulness of them to me and how they can be used in order to get information.

when I was younger I did not use electronic tools. I used to write all my assignments on pieces of paper and the only element to investigate that I had was a text book from the syllabus. My handwriting was terrible so teachers were always criticizing me; that was annoying, but then I arrived to the C.E.T.i.s 155 where my new teachers taught me how to use them. I would be technician on computing so I needed to learn how to use them. Once I started using them, I never stopped of using them.

About word processors, the most useful word processor for me without a doubt is “Word”, you can also try with “open office” but it is most difficult to use. A word processor is a good tool; it can help you a lot with assignments, homework and more. In my case, word processor helps me find synonyms and antonyms, to modify pictures and of course to redact. That word processor helps me to improve my vocabulary.

What about blogs, e-mails, pages and chats? We can use these resources in order to research about any topic! You can find out any information seen or asked in your classroom. Books will not be your only source now; you will not have limits to research. With these tools you can give your point of view, participate and even write in a blog your thoughts. I use them constantly to do my homework and assignments.

As a conclusion, electronic tools are essential: to formalize and give presentation to any assignment or to get information easily. If you know how to use them, you can get many advantages like doing your homework easier. To get information from blogs, chat rooms, web-cites and e-mails even videos are always good options. You can arrange your information in a word processor and that is all, your assignment will be presentable enough.

My name is Mayra Gpe Razo M. Del Campo. I am nineteen years old. I was born in Aguascalientes, México. Life in this place is very comfortable and calm. My personality is soft, I do not like to get in fights, i just want to get some fun. I try to be responsible in everything that I do. I like to draw in Photoshop, flash and videogames are always good options too. I do not like nosy people and sunny days.

Some positive experiences that changed my life were for example: my high school, my actual boyfriend, and my friends. My high school friends and boyfriend changed my way of thinking because I thought that all people were bad and crazy because of the junior high school memories, but now it is very different. I decided to study “Human languages” because I am not able to understand computer languages such as C++, pascal, etc.

The objectives that I will achieve in 5 years are for example: I will finish the B.A. in ELT from the “Univesidad Autonoma de Aguascalientes”, I will get married and I will get a job in the cetis 155 or in the secondary number 3, maybe I will learn another language. And about long term goals maybe become a mother and keep working on a secondary or on a high school.

The purpose of writing this essay was to introduce myself, for other people to know me better. Most of what I do or how I think is written here: The important aspects that changed my mind, objectives, short-term goals and long-term goals (five to ten years) who am I? Where do I come from? All this is written here.
