to check by teacher!!!! English experience

Well, good topic. I started with my English studies when I was child, I remember my first English lesson like it was yesterday. I had my first English lesson at “Colegio Chile” when I was 5.

Really, when I was a child I never thought to learn another language was so important. I wish I had realized how important learning English is for my future jobs or something like that. In Chilean’s schools we were attending to English lessons since we were five or six years old, but although it seems incredible most of the Chilean’s students can’t have a conversation when they finish their English lessons.

Why is happening what I wrote here? I think that it’s because all the educative system is bad and if you want to get a good education you’ve got to pay more money. Well, getting back to our topic, I think that when a person speaks English or another language they stand out when they are talking and everybody wants to talk with them.

Really, I love learn English, but what do I find difficult? The most difficult to me is English grammar and it’s not because it’s difficult itself but because it’s different. Well, at least there are free web sites like The BBC’s website, I found this web site when Simon showed us in a earlier English lessons, and when I went to The BBC’s website I discovered a new world!!! Well, to finish I like this web site because it is has good things to learn.

Have I got any English speaking friends? Yes, when I was living in Buenos Aires I had an English friend, he lived with me and he taught English in the University of Buenos Aires.

to check! (by theachers)

Well, my name is Ricardo Paulsen. I was born in Santiago de Chile; here in my country our culture is like any other western culture on the world. I think that the culture I grew up is very good and I’d like living it every day.

My family is quite normal; I live with my parents and my brother. My father has worked in a security company for as long as I remember. My mother is a housewife; my parents got married when they were twenty-two years old. My brother is called Juan Pablo, he is studying at the high school, and he’s 15 years old.

Well, What do I like to do in my free time? I like travel; every year I save all money I can. When I have enough money I always draw up my holidays with someone else. Last summer I took my bag and I went to Mendoza city, in Argentina. From this city I was visiting every cities I could. Three weeks later I got to Bolivia, I was in “La Quiaca” one day and then I went to La Paz city.

I finished high school when I was 18, then I got in to the college. I decided to study geography because I have a special interest about the urban problems.
