Introducción.

El presente blog es una actividad que el maestro Juan Enrique Cabrales de la asignatura Ingles IV nos sugirió realizar para que pudiéramos mejorar nuestra habilidad para escribir en inglés y para darnos cuenta de que el estilo de escribir en inglés no es lo mismo que en español, no todos los blogs están corregidos.

Me gustó ésta actividad ya que pude publicar por éste medio temas de gran importamcia y dar a conocer a los demás mis gustos y personajes a quienes admiro mucho y que no todos mis compañeros sabían, espero les guste.

Gracias maestro Enrique por su paciencia y apoyo.

Saturday Night.

On October 25th. I went to a party with my friends to Byblos discotheque. That night, I wanted to see a wedding that was broadcasted by television. My friends knew that I would arrive late there.

But my surprise was that Claudia went to Karina’s house and then she called me to tell me that Karina had gone with her boyfriend to the discotheque.

My cousin and I picked up Claudia because she was alone in a store and we took her to our house. We were there on time. Claudia waited for me in the garage while I was dressing to go together to the discotheque, for this reason I didn’t get to see the wedding completely. We went to the gas station and we arrived to Byblos. There were a few of the pèople . We met Karina, Pablo, Karla, Ivan, Sarah and her friends . They were standing up and when they saw us, we picked some seats and we started to chat and enjoy the music.

I had not gone to a dicotheque for a year, that night I felt very happy to be there, I danced a lot with my cousin. I forgot about my problems before the party was over. My cousin, Luis José, and I danced with guys from other degree. One of them was celebrating his birthday and he invited us to the dancefloor. We were the stars of the night.

That night was great!!!


Prince Charles' Birthday

Many people receive gifts or conform with cake, but when one is the Prince of Wales, also receives a salute of 41 cannons in the Center of London.

Prince Charles celebrated its 60th birthday last Friday with a banquet hosted by Queen Elizabeth II of England at Buckingham Palace, attended by representatives of European royalty.

The banquet, which also counted with the presence of princes William and Henry, sons of Charles and the late Princess Diana, is one of the events planned to celebrate the anniversary of the heir to the British throne, according to the BBC.

Before sitting at the table, the approximately 150 guests enjoyed a concert by the Philharmonia Orchestra, of which Charles is patron, which was followed by a cocktail reception in the ballroom, which is usually used for investitures.On Wednesday, the prince and his family attended a comedy show organized in his honor, attended by actors John Cleese, Rowan Atkinson and the American Robin Williams.

The celebrations will continue on Saturday at the rural residence of Highgrove (western England), where his wife, Camilla Parker Bowles, has prepared a feast with family and friends. Happy Birthday Prince Charles!!!.

Dear Sir.

Dear Sir or Madam,

Last weekend my girlfriend and I arrived at your popular cafeteria looking for a very nice time to spend together. The motto in your windows says “where your friends are as special as you are”, unfortunately the service that day didn’t reflect those words.

As soon as we arrived there we had the chance to sit at a table and we waited for almost half and hour for a waiter to help us. There were not too many people for this to happen but I have to point out that the music was good and this helped us to be patient.


However, when we were finally serviced the waiter spilt a cup of coffee on my brand new jacket. It costed me $50 to have it cleaned.

My jacket doesn’t look that good anymore. I had never had an experience such as this anywhere. I hope you can understand my complaint because I want you to refund the money for another brand new jacket.

BAYVIEW INN!

This is an exercise that we read in the class of teacher Juan Enrique Cabrales Sanchez , thanks you for your help!.

Dear Sir or Madam:

1. On July 16 my friends and I arrived at your inn hoping to spend an enjoyable weekend. Unfortunately, because of your poor service, our weekend was a disaster.Since your ad says "have a fabulous time or get your money back," I am requesting that you refund our money.

2. From the moment we arrived, there were problems with the service. First, a very unfriendly desk clerk couldn't find our reservation. After waiting almost half an hour, we were led by another unfriendly clerk to our room. The room, which had a view of a parking lot instead of the bay, had not yet been cleaned, so we found dirty towels on the beds and cigarette butts in the ashtrays. Despite these problems, none of your employees apologized to us. This was not the weekend we had been looking forward to.

3. Service at your inn was not always like this. My previous visits were always enjoyable because of the courteous service and clean rooms with beautiful views. I expect to receive my refund shortly.

Sincerely yours,
Dale Thomas.

Silly Questions

1. Why do you think so many people turned down Bowerman's idea?

Because his idea was very strange, companies thought it was ridiculous.
2. Why do you think Smith's professor gave him a C on the project?
Because it was not called him the attention to the teacher, he thought that it would be impossible.

3. Which idea has led to the most imitations?
I think the NIKE athletic shoes because many people who do exercise use them and also for fashion.
4. Do you have any ideas for new products or services?

Yes, I do.

What are they?

I would invent a keyboard for computer with bright neon light to write in the dark.

I also would invent a portable bath made of plastic to bath.

Also I would invent a plane to transport any type of animal to the whole world.

Lucy Gomez

Lucy Gomez is the most creative person I know. She started piano lessons when she was only 6 years old. At school, she was always creating interesting projects in her art class. When she was only 12 years old, she won a citywide poetry contest. Her parents were very proud of her.

Now Lucy woks as a sitcom writer for a popular TV show. She works with a group of writers, and together they have to think of fresh ideas. They also have to come up with funny dialog for the actors on their show because the actors have to play believable characters that will make the audience laugh. It is not an easy job, but Lucy does it well.

She starts work late in the morning and often works until 7 or 8 at night.

Lucy is very curious. She likes to travel and meet new people who have opinions that are different from hers. She often carries a notebook with her and writes down what she sees and hears. Lucy tells me that these new experiences are a good source of ideas for her work. I always enjoy talking to her and I am happy to know someone as bright and creative as Lucy.
