...almost finished

Activity: I was talking whit my friend Veronica about the last weeks in the school.
A few days ago Vero told me that she really hated the last weeks of the semester because the teachers gave us a lot of exams and homework. She also said that she was thinking in don’t be stressful and only do the necessary, not to do a lot of work. She said is not possible that she didn’t slept well for their jobs and she is tired. She wants to finish these semester as soon as possible.
Reflection: With this kind of exercise we can practice our speaking and tried to speak daily topics like the school. Maybe with this kind of practice we can speak fluently and be better.

with my Neighbors

Around my house, live foreign people. In front of my house live a couple of USA, behind me live a Canadian family and close to the corner live another USA family. I have more neighbors but only for vacations. Just a few persons are from Progreso.
Yesterday I listened screens, voices and laughing in the middle of the night. It was a group of American people because they speak English, I mean, I guess. They got my attention so far. So I decided go out and talked with they for my speaking activity.
One of they asked me: Did you catch that she said? And I answered him…and started the conversation, about the weather in Yucatan that is so different than their country. We talked about my house and the food too.
I think we were talking around one hour. It was so helping to me. I enjoyed the conversation. I hope the next time that they walked closed to my house say hello to me for talking again and help me with my English and I can learning Spanish to these very nice foreign people.

Business letter

INTRODUCTION An acceptance letter is a positive response to either an invitation or a job offer. Its objective is to notify the reader of an affirmative decision. The letter should be kept fairly short. Its scope need only include information that relates to the logistical details of accepting the offer. If you have been offered a job that you intend to accept, write your letter immediately. Remember, you are not the only person that was interviewed. The offer only indicates that you are the employer's "first choice." Delay on your part will communicate a lack of interest and will result in a prospective employer turning to his or her "second choice." In the sample acceptance letter the writer accepts an entry-level position and reiterates specific information previously discussed in the job interview regarding his starting date.

I tried to do an acceptance letter. Sincerely, it was really hard for me because I never did a letter same as this. I don’t have a topic, and also I can’t imagine a real situation I only tried to write and investigate about a type of business letter.

Hurricanes

I read an article in a magazine about tropical cyclone, as also named hurricane, typhoon, tropical storm, cyclonic storm, tropical depression, and simply cyclone. This is a natural disaster, is a storm characterized by a low pressure center and numerous thunderstorms that produce strong winds and flooding rain. Tropical cyclones feed on heat released when moist air rises, resulting in condensation of water vapour contained in the moist air.
The term "tropical" refers to both geographic origin of these systems, which form almost exclusively in tropical regions of the globe, and their formation in Maritime Tropical air masses. The term "cyclone" refers to such storms' cyclonic nature, with counterclockwise rotation in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise rotation in the Southern Hemisphere. Depending on its location and strength
Something that I really surprised me was that as a result, tropical cyclones help to maintain equilibrium in the Earth's troposphere, and to maintain a relatively stable and warm temperature worldwide.
If the conditions remain favorable, the tropical disturbance intensifies, and can even develop an eye. If the conditions around the system deteriorate or the tropical cyclone makes landfall, the system weakens and eventually dissipates. In spite of this, it is not possible to artificially induce the dissipation of these systems with current technology.
I enjoyed read about this kinds of topics because is a problem close to me and actually we are very exposed and vulnerable to this natural disaster.
