Episode 66: Choosing a gift
Janet: And how’s my favourite shop assistant today?
Tim: Oh! Good morning, Janet! It’s assistant manager actually.
Janet: So sorry, darling, assistant manager. Now, I do hope you can help me. I’m looking for a very special gift for a very special person.
Tim: I’m sure we can help you there madam. Is it for a gentleman or a lady?
Janet: A gentleman. Fine jewellery looks so lovely on a man, don’t you agree?
Tim: In that case, let me show you these cuff-links and here are some very nice tie-clips.
Janet: Those watches look rather nice.
Tim: Err, yes. but the latest model isn’t available, and it’s important to have the latest model, don’t you think?
Janet: Not necessarily. I always say that style is more important than fashion.

This picture was taken on the summer of 2018. I choosed this picture because I was making a dream come true. My dream was always meeting Chiloé. This trip was planned with my dad while we were having lunch, it was improvised . We went for five days, and I met all the islands that I could, it was an amazing trip, seeíng all the nature, animals, the fresh air, It was an unique experience.

When I had to go through that bridge, I really felt fear, because it moved and went to the side, if I didn’t walk in a straight line, I would fell. I was so afraid that I went through the bridge running and the bridge went to the side, I saw my life pass before my own eyes.

Tim: How can I help you sir?
Customer: It’s about this watch.
Tim: What seems to be the problem?
Customer: The alarm doesn’t work and the strap leaves a green mark on my wrist when I take it off.
Tim: Have you worn the watch in the shower perhaps sir?
Customer: No and I only bought it two weeks ago. It’s still under guarantee but I must say, for the amount of money I paid for it, I’m very disappointed.
Tim: I’m so sorry you’ve been inconvenienced. Would you like a refund?
Customer: No, I’d rather have the watch replaced please.
Tim: Right, well, I’ll just take down your purchasing details and we’ll get this watch changed for you in no time at all.

My goals and challenges for Language 2

categories: Uncategorized

Today I’m starting the second semester. The first one was difficult but I could handle it. My challenge was “Use of English” because I have some problems with grammar, but studying hard I was able to pass it. Another challenge was “Speaking”, although this subject was a little easy to me, I get very nervous and that difficults me having a conversation. Anyways, I passed all my subjects, it was a great semester, I feel very happy and proud of me, because start to study again another career was a challenge for me and start to see the results of my effort, it’s wonderful.

Now, I’m recharged and motivated. This semester I want to pass all my subjects again. I’m focused on studying hard because I really want good grades and I want to improve my english, my speaking and listening skills. Also, I want to get more organized because I get distracted very easily and I loss the focus on the things that I have to do and it can affect my grades.
I’m going to do my best for finish this semester the best way and enjoy my summer vacations.
