  Social media has been a great invention because you can do a lot of things. Nowadays, most of the people have a smartphone in which you can download apps: facebook, whatsapp, Instagram, tiktok, messenger, snapchat, youtube as well. And you can send messages, watch videos, post pictures, comments or thoughts, etc. it’s useful when you want to keep in touch with your family, friends, couple, and so on. I uploaded a video talking about my family lives on social media, and I also mentioned mine. https://youtu.be/l3VqFVdLuhk

  In my opinion, choosing friends should be a careful decision. I’m glad being a person who has suitable friends or people around me. I’m quite fussy about liking a person, so I will write about it. I like a person when he or she is: ü Honest ü Mature ü Empathic ü Respectful ü Has active listening ü Gives importance to mental health and respectful breeding ü Cheerful I don’t like when a person is: ×        Homophobic ×        Sexist or male chauvinist ×        Rude ×        Not empathetic ×        Selfish ×        Arrogant ×        Not grateful ×        Snobbish

  There is a lot of information on the net about zodiac signs, and people sometimes believe in them. Firstly, I’m going to write about my personality. And secondly, I’ll mention some features about my zodiac sign. My personality I am a realistic person. I think it's good to have goals and dreams, but everybody has to know and accept the reality; I recognize and accept what is possible and what is not in my life. I'm helpful, empathetic and patient; I think they are good abilities to become a teacher (maybe that's why I chose my university career in English teaching). I like to help people and I try to do my best for them; I'm empathetic when I listen to people's problems or when I'm happy to advise and support them, I try to be a good person and friend, because I had bad experiences about that, I mean, rude people and fake friends.  I try to be patient with others, if I feel that someone is getting on my nerves, I would take a deep breath and think not bei...

  Have you realized that people choose their best pictures to upload them on social media? Have you ever done this before? I think nobody wants to upload a picture of himself or herself looking ugly, bad, or no attractive. But I think it also depends on the self-esteem of each person. If you really love yourself, you wouldn’t care about others’ opinion, it doesn’t matter if you have pimples, wrinkles, disheveled hair, white hair, etc. when someone feels beautiful inside, he or she can show that in a picture, and I don’t mean having an attractive face or body. I uploaded a video on youtube showing a picture of myself and talking about why it is good for me to post that on social media. https://youtu.be/F4RSjXX9q1w

  According to my 10 love songs list, I decided to choose 3 of them because I think they are exactly love and romantic songs, and you can send them if you’re truly in love with someone, I mean, they’re perfect for those special occasions. Here you have a small summary about those 3 songs. Michael Jackson – I just can’t stop loving you Bruno mars – Just the way you are Ed Sheeran – Thinking out loud The song is about a deep and abiding love between two people. The singer tells his partner that he will never stop loving her, no matter what happens in the world around them. He also says that if he ever stopped loving her, he doesn't know what he would do without her in his life. It’s a true love poem addressed to a girl that doesn’t feel pretty. That’s like Bruno would say: I know there are things you don’t like about yourself, but here I am, reminding you how perfect you are to my eyes. I love every single part of...

  When we are in our love era it’s usual to look for love songs on youtube, spotify, or even in parties; because we just feel identified with the lyrics or the rhythm. It was kind of difficult to choose only 10 songs for my English homework, because I love a lot of romantic songs, so I did a list and tried to put the accurate ones. I did it easier so I searched the songs with the lyrics, so you can listen to and read them at the same time. You can send the following songs to your boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, wife, the love of your life or whoever you want, they are beautiful songs. 1. Bruno mars – Just the way you are https://youtu.be/u7XjPmN-tHw 2. Ed Sheeran – Perfect https://youtu.be/kPhpHvnnn0Q 3. Ed Sheeran – Thinking out loud https://youtu.be/XMPgVZtADtQ 4. Etta james – At last https://youtu.be/YtZ-IgUjALo 5. Michael Jackson – Heal the world https://youtu.be/02CcUCPkw-s 6. Michael Jackson ft. justin timberlake – Love never felt so good https://yo...

  We celebrate love, relationships, friendships, family, etc. on valentine’s day which date is on February 14 th . Most of the people celebrate that day without knowing the origin, history and reasons. Here you have a presentation made on canva where you can read a little about it. https://www.canva.com/design/DAFe_XLGaHQ/RC585wTUIC4fFDMxXusmeQ/view?utm_content=DAFe_XLGaHQ&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link&utm_source=publishsharelink After reading about valentine’s day, I would like to write about what I did on that special and loving day. Well, to be honest I didn’t have any specific plan, but it ended up being better than I could planned. First, in the university, a friend of mine gave us (other friends and me) some lollipops. Then, in the afternoon I went back home and I stayed with my boyfriend for an hour because he had to work at 4:00 PM, and I didn’t have my online French class. I took that hour to gave him some strawberries (because he loves them) w...

  Mexico has awesome culture and traditions that have had a profound impact on different aspects by the Spanish colonial presence. There is a special celebration in February that Mexicans do on the 2 nd day, it’s called “día de la Candelaria”, and the main character is the tamale.  Do you know tamales? Have you ever tried them before? My classmate luz andrea and I made a presentation on canva about it. Do you want to know more about the Candelaria day?

I have a good question for you.   Is really important the   appearance?     When is it important? Why? Is there any specific occasion? Do you know a person who really takes care about her or his appearance?     Nowadays people care a lot about   looking good, and in most cases because of others ’ thoughts/opinions about your appearance. It also depends on the country, people, culture, education, etc. In my opinion, I recorded myself and explained more features and examples about it in the next videos.

I think the worst embarrassing moment was when I was around 14 or 15 years old. I remember I was in love with a guy 4 years older than me (I know, it sounds kind of dumb), but I will tell you what happened that day.  I remember it was almost 1:00 pm, I was in my last class, I was hungry (as usual), and I asked my best friend to go with me to the cafeteria. But we were waiting for the teacher because she wasn’t there, I mean, in our classroom, so we decided to go quickly, and we started to run through the corridor, it was connected with the high school and middle school campus. I didn’t notice my crush was standing in the same hall with some of his friends, and when I realized I was on the ground because I felt down. He started to laugh because he looked at me, and my best friend also laughed a lot. I stood up quickly and I wanted to continue running to the cafe, but a teacher came to me and asked me if I was ok, at that point I just wanted to run away because I felt embarrassed. I ...

  every single person has an individually concept about beauty, being attractive, nice, etc. As my literature teacher told me: “The concept of beauty is not universal” She meant whatever is beauty for you, for me probably will not be, because we have different thoughts about that. in our English class we talked about comparative adjectives, the teacher suggested an interesting activity. He started asking “Who is the sexiest man in the world?” all of us had different answers, so some of my classmates wrote them on the board. After writing the men’s name, the teacher asked us who is the sexiest man according by google, so we searched that, We found out that "Chris Evans is the sexiest man in the world". To be honest, I didn’t remember who chris evans was, but when my friend told me “He acts as captain america!” I could remember him.  and I definitely agree with Google’s answer. In spite of that, I decided to write on the board that my boyfriend is sexier than Chris Evans, obv...
