There is in Mexico a celebration for independence day. It is on September 15. People start to celebrate at night. Everyone like to go to the “zocalo” ( a big place where people can meet as a crowd) because there are festival with traditional food and Mexican music. Some famous singers go to the towns to celebrate with people. Everyone wear cloth with the traditional red, white and green colors. Usually men wear hat and boots and women flowers in their hair and traditional costumes.

I like to do with passion

I feel passionate about drawing or painting. I don’t know how to do very well, but I really like try to do it. It makes me feel relaxed and happy. Also, this is a good opportunity to spent time with my daughter because she likes to paint too. As a consequence, I feel more passion because my little princess share this passion with me. Usually when I’m creating some painting, It makes feel so good that I can spent many hours and I don’t get tired. Painting or drawing helps me to have more creativity.

Since I came to the U.S. I didn’t paint nothing for me, just small things for my daughter, but I will try again because that is the best way to spent the time for me. However, there are other activities that I like to do such as reading, and photography. That is why I decide to learn English, because I want to take painting and photography courses to learn more about it.

How to learn vocabulary effectively

I know a way to learn Vocabulary very effective. As you know, we have an assignment 20 academic words a week, to do that ass, I always prefer to choose books that cover vocabularies use commonly in the life. I list words we usually use in our life to write down and after done 20 words, I mark words that  we use commonly and easy to learn to remember them. By doing that, you not only finish your ass but also you can learn more vocabularies for your self.

I need to learn more vocabulary, because Vocabulary is very important each class that listening and speaking, reading and writing. I always use flash card when I learn vocabulary. Also I make sentence to use new vocabulary, but it is hard to remember. Therefore I have to learn little bit everyday. I think it is very important to remember vocabulary.

i can learn more vocabulary when i listen musi or i watching movies because, you can learn more academic words or technical. I always watch technology documentaries, i always learn technical words.

How do I like to learn vocabulary?

There are many ways to learn vocabulary, but I think that its easier down three types of learning. The first way is talking with native’s speakers that they can explain you the meaning of the word. For example, they explicate you on wordandphrase or give you the meaning in English. After that you can repeat the word and used more easy. The second way is practice in quizlet that provide you flash cards; also you can take a quiz about these words. Finally the third way is reading a lot. In this way you can understand which part of speech belongs to the word and the context of the phrase give you idea about the meaning. Using these three ways in my speaking or my writing i can improve my vocabulary.
