Your-say

Tuesday, 22, January

At last, after so many days nervous, today we have been given the marks of the research project. I got a six. I'm very happy. Although, I would have had a better mark if I had worked more in summer, but now this has been done. 
In the afternoon I went with a friend to visit her grandparents in l'Escala because it was his grandfather's birthday who did eighty-five years. 
After that we were invited to have dinner and later we played dominoes. And his grandma, Monsserrat, won.

Dear Mr. Darcy,

As you well Know I believed all what Mr. Wicham told me, and now I’m so embarrassed.

When he told all this things to me, maybe, I believed him because in first sigh, you seem, and you are so proud, as I could see in the first party I saw you, when you said that I’m not attractive enough to tempt you.

Well, I would feel better if you forgive me for all the things I told you, please, because I know that I’ve been so prejudiced with you.

I hope you to forgive me,

 Elizabeth Bennet

No time to spare…

It’s true that we always are one step behind from where we should be at any time.

And what we do in front of that?

We always blame our work, the kids, want finalize everything in 24 ours, etc.

Although, I’ve read that the experts say that not being able to organize ourselves is our fault. And which is the solution? According to them we need learn by prioritise, I mean that we only have to do the really necessary things. “It’s OK to leave things scattered around at home or not have beautiful flowers blooming in every corner”.

In my view, if we organize ourselves, we will be able to sleep for eight hours, read one book in a week, go on the gym more times a week, polish our English, and of course, earn living.

In conclusion, what we should do is turn our backs on things which fancy us doing and don’t worry if we won’t have time to do it all.

Vocabulary:

-scattered: dispers.

-spare: estalviar.

Sheri Ahmed

Sheri Ahmed is a London Metropolitan University graduate who graduated in Economics, Politics and Spanish before setting in Barcelona in 1998.

The thing which surprises me the most is that she is fluent in eight languages.

She has appeared in different TV programmes like Buenafuente or TV· series Polònia.

One of the reasons why she has appeared in some TV programmes is because she has been dancing since she was a toddler.

And now she teaches groups of women and men the joys of Bolliwood dance moves.

Sheri’s nephew, Román, is the most important person of her family for her.

Another thing which surprise me is that she loves shoes, but that is not what surprise me, the thing which surprise me is that she has got around fifty pairs. I know that there are who have more than fifty, although, I think that this is so much.
