Friday 17th April
Today was a horrible day for me, everything was wrong, the first class the teacher was angry all the class was the same, very boring. The second was not very different but somebody told me that next class we will have an exam and I haven’t studied nothing. I started reading and I read something but I don´t think I read enough to present an exam, but I did it, then I forgot I was not going to have English class and I wait until 2:45 and suddenly I remember the fact, then I went to visit a friend and he wasn’t.
After this horrible day, I decided to come back to my house, and when I arrived I checked that I forgot my keys, I call the door and nobody answer, then I call to my father celphone and never answer so I have to wait three hours to enter to my house until my father arrived.
So, never forget this lesson, “Never forget your keys, no matter how bad was your day, always it can be worse”.

Today was my brother birthday, so we wake up to sang a happy birthday song for him, but then I continue sleeping because Thursday is my day off, this day I dedicate myself to do other things, such as clean my room, doing some homework, but today was different, was my brother’s birthday so he was going to have a small party with his friends, so at something like 2 pm he and his friends arrived, they eat something and as boys on the age, they start to drink beer, they have music and they were drinking and drinking. To be honest I don’t like to be there, they are his friends and I try to respect that.
Now my brother is 18, he is major of age, still I remember when we were just children, and now we are totally different, I’m very happy because we continue together, we continue with our plans, and we are studying to reach them, so I hope everything improves, and we have these memories forever.

Wednesday 15th April
For me Wednesday is always difficult because I have the classes in which the subjects and the professors are more difficult or not difficult, is they are stricter than the other teachers, the day in school was normal, well in fact I have to say it was a really funny day. I was laughing all day long, making jokes, talking with friends, describing about some passed stories, but in certain moments I was worried about some school problems, I have been slow with some of my tasks, but the moment was good.
When I left my last class, I went to my house, and when I was on the “Metrobus” I saw a friend that since I was on secondary like 6 years ago, I haven’t seen him, we were talking, asking for other friends, he told me that some of my partners are pregnant other they have just had their babies, I realized how the time run so fast, and people change a lot in some years.
I really like this day, was a different one, I realized, that time has change me, have changed my friends, my family, everything is everyday changing, and we can´t put ourselves sad, and this always is going to help us to understand what we are, and what’s the way we choose

First Day
13th April
To be honest today was a difficult day, today I come back to school so it was very hard to wake up and was my father's birthday too, in the morning I got up at 5:30 am and me and my brothers sang to my father a birthday song!!, and then we gave him a hug, then we went to school, the teacher of the first class which was at 7:00 am never arrived, so I decided to go for something to have breakfast, I was talking with my friend about some business we are planning and we were waiting until the next class which was at 9:00 am,
when the class finally arrive, which was organization's sociology, the teacher decided to go to the Auditorium and saw a movie, the movie we saw it's call "México, México, ra ra ra" and to be honest I didn´t like it, the movie in some parts is exaggerated and there were some things I´m not agree with them, may be is just the kind of movies which I don't like it.
The last class the teacher received some homeworks and she left, so I called my brother to ask, what we were going to do, because of my father's birthday, he told me to wait for his call, so I went to visit some friends until my brother call me, we were talking and telling our adventures on vacations, and like at 1:00 pm my brother call me and we come back to my house, and we waited for my father who was in the gym, we wait and when we arrived we went with some of my father's friends to eat with them.
After that we went to get my brother's car which was with the mechanic, we recover the car and we were on our house and at night we bought a cake for my father, we ate cake and we gave him some presents, then I went to do some homework, and I think that is all... <<

A Treasure...
What if I tell you, there is an item that has became a new gadget for lot of persons who like to relax and discover the feelings that music can give us?. Music is therapy, has long been used to help people deal with their emotions. Robert Burton's The Anatomy of Melancholy argued that music and dance were critical in treating mental illness, especially melancholia. He noted that music has an excellent power to fight with many other diseases. Music is not just for relaxing, the big diversity of music give us the opportunity to make the music an art not just for listening, you can feel different emotions while listening, such as fear, happiness, sadness, desesperation etc.
Nowadays, new technologies like the mp3 or as we know the iPod have been changing the idea of listening to music, every moment, every place or just to kill boredom is good for listening to music. The increasing popularity of listening to music as digital music files on MP3 players, iPods, or computers, and of trading music on file sharing sites or buying it online in the form of digital files had a major impact on the traditional music business. Many smaller independent CD stores went out of business as music buyers decreased their purchases of CDs, and many labels had lower CD sales. Some companies did well with the change to a digital format, though, such as Apple's iTunes, an online store which sells digital files of songs over the Internet.
On the other hand not everybody have the plan to get an iPod, but almost everybody like music, Music can be divided into genres and subgenres, although the dividing lines and relationships between music genres are often subtle, sometimes open to individual interpretationcan and this can reflects the personality of people.
Music is composed and performed for many purposes, religious or ceremonial purposes, or as an entertainment product for the marketplace. Amateur musicians compose and perform music for their own pleasure, and they do not derive their income from music.
We should take advantage of the new items we have, but in fact, something that we must understand is that the real treasure we have is the music and we should enjoy it and discover new forms of art that can change our lifes.

My profile
My name is Luis Enrique, I’m 20 years old, I’m studying management, I’m really proud of being part of the UNAM. Now I’m studying the fourth semester, which is more or less the half of the complete program. In the future, I will like to study abroad but it depends if I get a scholarship, this is one of the reasons for studying English. I have to brothers, one older and one younger.
I like music, specially alternative rock music, some of my favorite bands are: Foo fighters, Hot Hot Heat, Kings of Leon, Razorlight, The Charlatans and of course the strokes. I play the guitar but just as a hobby, when I was in highschool I used to study music but then I regret because I didn´t see my future as a musician so I leave it just as a hobby. I like going to the cinema, I hate horror movies!, I avoid to see them, I enjoy a lot to party with my friends and I love playing poker, Texas Hold’em, 21 Black jack. I like to read mafia stories, like the godfather or the Sicilian.
I like to see and practice some sports, for example football soccer, tennis, I love to practice tennis table. Actually I’m not practicing any sport but if I have the chance I do it. I also really like to watch the American football and swimming.
I have always thought that every person is a different world so I try to learn from everybody.

Letter to a Canadian
Dear Canadian friend:
HI!!! My name is Luis Enrique, I'm 19 years old and I'm studyng management here at the UNAM, I really like this major, in the future, I want to get a scholarship in a Canadian University and earn a degree there.
Some months ago, I had the opportunity to talk with some Canadians, I had a good impression, They are very nice persons. Now I want to take advantage of the opportunities that Canada is giving to study and work there.
These days in Mexico try to visit very interesting places, try to taste many kinds of different food. Mexico has a big diversity in their people, the culture, places, the food. Some places I can recommend to you are:
Las trajineras, Xochimilco. It is unique place in the world, you'll travel by boat and I' sure you are going to enjoy it, do not forget to visit Archeological places like Cuicuilco, Teotihuacan, these are places full of culture.
Good luck!! and enjoy as much as you can.

My expectations!
To be honest, When I decided to study the advanced courses, writing was not in my plans. I used to think English was based on speaking and listening, and writing was always related with gramatical structures that yoy may understand but you rarely practice.
Now, my opinion have changed, writing is as important as sepeaking, you can know a lot about a topic, but if you do not have the appropriate vocabulary or you are not capable of organizing your ideas, you won't be able to show your knowlege on what you are trying to say. Even if you can express your ideas verbally it won´t guarantee that you could do the same by writing.
I expect a lot from this course, obviously to increase my vocabulary, to learn how to organize my ideas and to learn new ways to express myself wich can help me support all my ideas.
