Singing a song

Well this is my last speaking practice for the blog. I didn't know what to do because i already talked with some people in english so i didn't want to do the same in the last one. So i decided to sing a song and practice the pronunciation, and know the meaning of some words that i didn't know.

Paramore That's What You Get

No sir, well I don't wanna be the blame, not anymore

It's your turn, so take a seat, we're settling the final score

And why do we like to hurt so much?

I can't decide

You have made it harder just to go on

why, all the possibilities... Well I was wrong

That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa

That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa

I drowned out all my sense with

The sound of it's beating

And that's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa

I wonder... How am I supposed to feel when you're not here?

Cause I burned every bridge I ever built when you were here

I still try, holding onto silly things, I never learn

Oh why, all the possibilities...

I'm sure you've heard

I think that this kind of exercise really helped me because when i was listening the song and could hear the pronunciation and be better.

President Obama

I was reading that one of Obama's plans is to create millions of jobs by 2011. He wants to make public buildings more efficient, repearing bridges, modernize schools and that the health care professionals have the latest technology. Also, he said: "We need to upgrade our federal buildings by replacing old heating systems and installing efficient light bulbs. That won't just save you, the American taxpayer, billions of dollars each year. It will put people back to work." In addition, he said, "It is unacceptable that the United States ranks 15th in the world in broadband adoption. Here, in the country that invented the Internet, every child should have the chance to get online.
"In addition to connecting our libraries and schools to the Internet, we must also ensure that our hospitals are connected to each other through the Internet." These are a few parts of the economic plan that he will be rolling out in these weeks. Obama said that When Congress reconvenes in January, he look forward to working with them to pass a plan immediately. "We won't do it the old Washington way. We won't just throw money at the problem.
"We will measure progress by the reforms that we make and looking the results by the jobs that we create, by the energy we save, by whether America is more competitive in the world," Obama added.

Vocabulary

• broadband: of, pertaining to, or responsive to a continuous, wide range of frequencies.
• reconvenes: meet again

another week...

I liked a lot this week. The most important thing was my birthday on December second. I'm 20 years old. Everything started on Saturday because i went to a disco with my friends, it was really cool. On sunday, my family went to my house an d we ater together, there were my grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc.. It was good because there was alot of time that we weren't be together like a happy family. I felt really good. On monday i had to study a little bit for my english test and other test. Finally, the important day came. It was my b-day! I came to the school and all my friends said happy b-day to me. In a class evryboday was singing the song: "happy b-day to you, happy b-day dear alexis..." it was really cool. After that some of my friends bought a cake and we ate it here in the cafeteria. At night, i went to the restaurant "miques" with my friends. It was good. The food was delicious and so cheap. We talked a lot about so much things. The next day it was Sara's B-day. We bought a cake for her too. After school, we went to ate at "Konsushi". Today it will be the party from my english class. I think that it will be good. We will eat pizza, drink coke, and some candies. This is the last level in english. I will miss everybody!

A Song

When we were young

the future was so bright

The old neighborhood was so alive

And every kid on the whole damn street

Was gonna make it big in every beat

Now the neighborhood's cracked and torn

The kids are grown up but their lives are worn

How can one little street

Swallow so many lives

Chances thrown

Nothing's free

Longing for Used to be

Still it's hardHard to see

Fragile lives shattered dreams

Jenny had a chance, well she really did

Instead she dropped out and had a couple of kids

Mark still lives at home cause he's got no job

He just plays guitar and smokes a lot of pot

Jay committed suicide

Brandon OD'd and died

What the hell is going on?

The cruellest dream - reality

Chances thrown

Nothing's free

Longing for what used to be

Still it's hardHard to see

Fragile lives Shattered dreams

Talking about the weekend

For this speaking section i was talking with Geraldine to practice. We were talking about what are we going to do on the weekend. She told me on Friday she will hang out with her boyfriend. Maybe they are going to the movies and then they are going to "Konsushi" for dinner. On Saturday we have a party from a very good friend. She is Pawlina. She is going to party on a night club called "Level". I think that we are going to have so much fun. We will dance a lot. I think that before that we are going to dinner at "lapalapa".

Also, I told her that on Friday i will go to a concert for an artist called "Reik". After that, maybe i will go to a party with some of my college friends.

Winter break

The semester is ending, and the winter break is coming. Im really excited because i want to have some vacations. I think that im going to stay in Merida with my family and friends. But it doesn't matter because i can hang out with some friends that will stay in town too.

Winter break is really cool, because is time to be with the family. For me, Christmas day is the most important in all the winter break. My family and me always have a dinner in my home, then we give it to us all the presents. This is not a very important thing but its like a tradition. We don't have to give a very expensive present but maybe just a souvenir.

When i was a child, in the Christmas night i always wanted to go to the bed so early because i thought that it i was sleeping Santa Claus will come faster. In the next morning, i woken up so fast and walked down ths stairs to open all the presents that Santa Claus had brought to me.

I played with the games all day long. I had so much fun when i was a child. Obviusly now is so different beacuse i go to bed so late. I go to parties with friends after the dinner. And the games are not the most important thing for Chritsmas.

missing good times...

When a i went to Houston for a year, i really met very god people. I had a group of very nice friends. Sometimes we chat or talk by a program in the computer that is like we are having a phonecalling. Yesterday, i talked with a girl from there. She told me that she has a baby. I couldn't believe it. She is so young. She told me that she is very happy, obviusly in the begining she was scared because be a mom is not to easy. I was really excited. She send me some pictures and we talked about it. After that, we remembered a lot of things that we used to do in that year. We used to go to the movies on fridays, sometimes we used to do pool's partys. we loved it becuase Houston is really hot on summer. Also We talked about the high school. I really liked it. Everybody was nice. The schools there are so pretty and very big. She told me about the others friends that we have. When i talk with my friends i feel like i want to go there again for a year, but i think that now is so difficult because im in college. Maybe I could go on summer.

I'm missing the good times that i lived there.
