End of the story

I called the golf club to re-schedule the game but they said they had received a call before and someone else had already taken my place. As I didn´t have anything to do, I started to drink some whisky to relax and forget my problems.Then I got so drunk that I fell asleep and two hours later the phone woke me up but I couldn´t get up so the answer machine took the call. Surprisingly it was my boss saying that I had to be at the open house the following morning otherwise there wouldn´t be another chance for me to go back to work there.

Suddenly being there at the right moment to react I decided to call the manager to tell him what had happened to me with that cashier woman, because if it wasn´t at that moment probably she would continue doing what she had been doing so far and more custumers will be treated in the same way as I was, which is something not good for the store and that also makes people feel bad, so after talking to me the manager went to talk to her and he put me in the front of the line apologizing about that woman´s attitude and since then everytime I go to this store I am treated in a very good way

Next morning I got up and went to the open house arriving on time and doing a very good job which my boss apreciated a lot and therefore I got my job back and since then I have been puntual and soon I´ll have my own company quiting to the one I am working at now and growing as a professional living more independent.

Dear Amy

Im in trouble, last Friday I went to a bar with many of my friends to celebrate my birthday. I was dancing with my friends having a very good time when suddenly I saw something that made me feel so awkward. Gaby who is a very good friend of mine but also girlfriend of Peter was kissing another guy just in front of me and she didn´t even realize I was staring at her, inmediately I got away before she cold notice I was there and went to my friends table. Not only is Peter one of my best friends, he has also helped me in several tough situations I´ve been through. I consider I should tell him because I don’t want him to keep being cheated, but on the other hand I wouldn´t like to spoil their five year relationship because I know he is still in love with her. Therefore I don’t know what to do so please Amy could you please give some advices to solve this problem?

Sincerely

Robert

Dr.Green’s case

“Thank god this is the last one of the evening” said Dr. Green, taking off his white coat. He was about to leave the hospital when suddenly two field workers showed up with a very strange body wrapped in a blanket stained with blood; it looked so strange, as if it was a kid’s body there. When the men discovered the body Dr.Green got shocked and asked “Is this human?”

Dr.Green suggested they should take the body to the surgery room so that they could help this being and analyze it to have a clear idea of whatever that was. He called one of his partners Dr.Head and took the body immediately to the surgery room .The strange being looked severely injured as if it had suffered a terrible accident.Dr. Green asked the field workers why they had not called the police instead of taking it to the hospital but they argued that they had found it in the middle of a corn field after hearing an explotion near their place. They said that he was suffering so much that they decided to take it where he could be aided as soon as possible.

Dr. Green and his partner told the workers they should wait while they were dealing with the body and the workers kindly stayed outside the surgery room. The Doctors tried to heal the body but it was still in critical condition, so they recommended he should stay in the hospital.Dr.Green took pictures of the body and also x rays to analyze them later. He said everybody should go home and he would stay with the being, the workers took his advice and said they would be back early in the morning to see how it was doing. He stayed the whole night analyzing the x-rays files and looking at he body wondering where on earth this mysterious being had come from. He was so tired that he fell asleep while analyzing the pictures.

Next morning he woke up realizing he was still at his office and went quickly to see how his patient was doing, he was still critical but alive. After a while the field workers returned to the hospital, anxious to see their new friend and the Doctor told them that their friend’s health was not that good. While they were all staring at the body, suddenly the being opened its eyes projecting a bright light on the wall which after a couple of seconds was showing a picture of a strange scenario, there was no doubt it was Mars and there were some other interesting things on it, a beautiful lake next to the red rocks and a pyramid just like the Pyramid of the Sun in Mexico were there as well, but suddenly it closed it eyes laying on the bed and disintegrated until it was completely gone.
Everybody was completely astonished looking at each other, nobody knew what to do, and Dr.Green suggested they should all take the x-rays, files and pictures to the Government so that they could continue with the investigation and everybody agreed that Dr.Green should keep the files until they decided what to do.
Next morning at Dr.Green´s house someone was knocking on the door and when he saw through the window there was a big crowd outside, lots of journalists, the police, helicopters everywhere and he didn’t know what to do, so the first thing that came to his mind was to throw the documents into the fire of his chimney. Now no one would ever know their secret.

Evaluation
I think I deserve a 16.5 because I consider that I made some mistakes in all areas but I dont think I am too bad at any area.

Profile

Age: 22
Gender: Male
Occupation: Industrial Engineering student at the UNAM
I am a very kind person, patient, I see myself as an open-minded, honest, responsible, hardworking and tolerant person. At times, I can be talkative, dreamy, and imaginative. I'm a non-smoker but occasional drinker, because I try to stay as healthy as possible. I am a happy person with a very good sense of humour.I like hanging out with my friends, dancing, and going to the movies, but I also like sports. I swim and play both soccer and basketball. During my remaining free time, I enjoy playing video games, listening to all kinds of music, as well as reading magazines, books and newspapers. I dislike being alone on weekends, washing the dishes, and working at jobs that I don't enjoy, simply to make money. My dream is to travel around the world, getting to know lots of cultures and meeting many people, and having a good quality of life living in a very nice place where I would be very happy. I’d like to make a positive change in the world either by doing something to avoid global warming, or by improving quality of life for others. For me, high quality of life involves ensuring that they can do what they enjoy, such as spending time with their families, being healthy or whatever makes them happy.

Letter to a Canadian

Dear friend:

As a Mexican, I would like to welcome you as a tourist in our country. As a long time resident I am sure that you will enjoy your time in Mexico City getting to know our culture.

There is a piece of advice I´d like to give you, first of all you should go to the Zocalo and see the Cathedral, Templo mayor, Bellas artes and Palacio Nacional. Some other places you should go to are the Chapultepec Castle, Basilica and Xochimilco.These places are the ones I consider as the most important ones to give you a good vision of what Mexico´s culture is like.

Although I have some friends from Canada living here in the city , I know that several cultures converge there, therefore I´d like to know a little bit more about you culture especially the place you live in, so it would be nice if you could tell me about your customs and places to visit in Canada and it would also be nice if we could keep in touch.

It´s a pleasure to meet visitors like you, and I am looking forward to seeing you again so that we can get to know each other and be good friends.

Sincerely,
Your friend Robert

My expectations

I signed up to this course because I think I’m not very good at writing even in Spanish, so as We’re free to take any advanced course, I think this is a good opportunity to improve my writing skills.
I hope this course will be challenging and fun so that I can have a good time and learn much . I also expect to meet many people because sometimes I spend a lot of time with the same people at my faculty, so I think this is a good place to meet new people and share different ideas.
It seems to be that the course is going to be pretty demanding, so I´m going to do my best and I expect the same from my classmates.
I´d like to get used to writing more in English because I´m looking forward to studying abroad in a couple of semesters, therefore before I go abroad I want to improve my English skills as much as possible so that I can have a good performance in any English-speaking country.I think it is also important for all of us to be good at writing because it is a good way to express ourselves and grow as persons, it could also be a very useful tool We may need in our lives.
