Special encounters in special places. (Week 2)

Hello again everyone!

Today I'm going to talk a little bit about my second mum who is from New York. I have to say that this woman has such a big heart that doesn't fit in her chest.  She offered me the opportunity of traveling to the States several times and thanks to her I've visited Minnesota, New York, California and Nevada. I mentioned before that she is my second mum because she treats me like her daughter. We've been through quite a lot places together, specially restaurants since we both love to try different types of food.

Last summer, when I was in California I started to learn how to surf and honestly, it was such a great experience! In Spain I cannot really practice this sport and so it's going to be difficult to put into practice what I've learnt in Cali. Nevertheless, I've never been to Hawaii and due to the fact that there is really good surfing there, I would just go to try the challenge! 

However, going to Hawaii would be quite expensive so I do need to save money to achieve that dream. But, what would I do if I had enough money? First of all, I would invest that money on properties that would double my money in a future, such as hotels or airbnbs. Then, depending on what I would have left from that amount of money, I would travel around the world. Traveling is the biggest gift there is in this world so nothing would make me happier than that. Apart from that, I would design my dream house myself and I would buy a car that would facilitate driving the most. 

Best, 

Loli. 

Some tips to help you with your writing in English. (Week 1)

How can you improve your English in writing if you are living in a country where people don’t even speak that language? 

Nowadays, learning how to write proper English is not a challenging task to confront since there are several and enough tools which can help us to make a progressive improvement in an academic way. Having mentioned this, there is not necessity to move to an English speaking country if we have the accurate tools to conduct this improvement. Internet, as a system, has incredibly grown in the last decade facilitating researches of anything it can be thought about. Accordingly, it can be found any explanation we need to help our writing in English as well as the content of a lot of books. Nonetheless, people have to be careful sometimes since not all the information that is showed in Internet has to be true. Google scholar is much more accurate in this sense, therefore, this system is totally recommended when it comes to academic purposes. 

On the other hand, Netflix is also a potential source of learning if you watch TV shows, movies or documental in original version plus English subtitles. I’ve pointed out Netflix, but there are other similar webpages which offer the same characteristics. This way, you can hear and read at the same time how words are pronounced and written and not only this, but also, between other benefits, how sentences are composed. The last and the most important point to be mentioned in my post regarding tools to improve the writing of learners of English is reading. Reading can clearly help learners of any language and there are no limitations when it comes to choose what to read. There are plenty of options such as newspapers, magazines, comics, novels or articles. 

These are some ways to help you with a progressive improvement in the writing of your English. What about you? is there anything else apart from what I have mentioned that help you notably in the writing of your English? 

Don’t be a conformist and keep improving! 

Best ♥,

Loli.
