Thank you for..

Teacher Nico, thank you for be an excellent teacher for us, I can say that I admire you because one day I want to talk as nice as you talk. Also thank you for be patient with us because some of us didn't have the experience of talk in public, some fail but you were so good with us that we learn a lot of you.
When I decide to take this curse I heard a lot of good comments about you and now I can say that all of them are true.

I hope you have an amazing holidays and don't forget that this is my first semester so I will see you again in the next 8 semesters:).

Pd: I hope you like the apples.

Happy christmas and New year and thank you again for everything you teach me.

Impromptu speech:

Giving an impromptu speech was one of the most difficult and stressful moments of my life.During the semester we develop some abilities that are relate with the idea of talking in front of people that you didn't know at all.I think this was something that help us to have courage and talk in front of the people. 
At this time all of our classmates already know each other, and I think this is something that helps to have more confidence and be more relax about the idea of giving and speech.

For this activity we had to choose a topic and we didn't know what would happen, that's why everyone was so nervous. I think that I get into shock because I got the topic of manners and I'm good with that, but at that moment everything was passing around my head, then I took the courage and I began to talk.
I can say that I did it well or I think that I did it, but the it's the thought that counts.
We finished our course with a funny activity because we saw the suffering of the others.

Halloween :

The activity of the week when it was Halloween, we did an activity of idioms; this activity was fun because you know new forms of use or say things.The one I like more was "To have a skeleton in the closet" i like it because it can be use for a lot of situations and you can be cool if you use it because no one will understand or they will find interesting.

Halloween it's the time when a lot of people show their dark side, it's a way to feel free to dress like whatever you want and do the things maybe you won't do in the daily life, that's why I think many people like it.Also the most wonderful and funny thing it's that the people give free candies to the kids in order to have a funny and yummy halloween 

The power of one

Weeks ago we saw a movie named the Power of one, in my opinion this movie was so inspirational, because nowadays people had forgot the idea of being nice and do things for other people something that I think it's very important in order to be a better person. 

This movie showed us how a little boy who suffered a lot in his childhood was the clear example of kind and joy. 

I really like this type of classes where the Teacher put us movies because with this we practice our english hearing and not reading subtitles, something that I think will help us a lot in the future when we have to hear conversations for our jobs.

A quote that I love from the movie was:

“First with the head, then with the heart.” ― Bryce Courtenay, The Power of One
