Conclusion
My work has been joyful since it combines reality and writing skills in the exercises. I liked the "It really works" unit because it was interesting and i did a funny sketch during the unit and the most boring one was the "the biggest and the best" unit. It was interesting to write about all the things we liked and disliked because it showed to everyone a little bit about who we are, during this course we went several times to the comp lab and it was a good change of routine for us. I think i have learned a lot of english during this course and i hope to learn more and more.

The one on my left (your right) with long brown hair is Claudia. She went to high school with me. Both of them, Christine and Claudia are my best friends. The other girl, on the far right side of the picture wearing a white, blue and pink tank top Is named Luisana but we all call her Luisi.

Life Changes
This unit is about how people change through the years. I reflect how I changed with two photos...
In the first picture I have 5 years old and in the second I'm 19 years old.
In 14 years I have changed!! I've changed my hairstyle, dyed my hair many times,I dress differently now, I'm more outgoing than before, I've gained weight and my life is more stressful now.
Honesty,I don't know if i'm going to travel next month or next year, I don't
really have an elaborate plan for my future, just right now I want the basic
things out of life: graduate, be successful, get married and be happy.

Home Remedies
This unit was really fun and interesting because we learn a lot of home remedies for health problems and also we did a role play! Here is some of the remedies that I learned...I hope you use some of them!
Backache:
Lemon is another useful remedy for backache. The juice of one lemon should be mixed with common salt and taken by the patient twice daily. It will give relief.
Insomnia:
Honey is beneficial in the treatment of insomnia. It has a hypnotic action and induces a sound sleep. It should be taken with water, before going to bed, in doses of two teaspoons in a large cup of water. Babies generally fall asleep after taking honey.
Gastritis:
Coconut water is an excellent remedy for gastritis. It gives the stomach the necessary rest and provides vitamins and minerals. The stomach is greatly helped in returning to a normal condition if nothing but coconut water is given during the first twenty-four hours.
Leg Cramps:
Stretch the sore muscle, follow your instinct, your body will automatically guide you in the correct manner. Massage the cramped muscle gently in the natural direction of the muscle. This helps relax the contraction and ease the pain. A hot shower or warm bath is a good way to relax the muscle. Use cold packs on the affected muscle. This relaxes the tensed muscles.

Restaurant
In this unit I learned how to write reviews about restaurants. I present to you my review:
Wawas Súper Pollo
The chicken from Wawas Súper Pollo is excellent. It's really delicious
and at a great price. It comes with cheese, cream and spice. You can
order any of its three sizes: large, medium and small. You can also
have the chicken with small arepas, chicken salad, lettuce or
plantain. Light combos are also a good option. The menu is not very
big, but the chicken is wonderful.
Marhaba
I just love this restaurant. I eat there all the time with my family
and I don't get sick of it. It specializes on Arabic food. My
favorite dish is shawarma, with mashed potatoes or tabbule, and the
tea is wonderful. It has a very large menu and a nice atmosphere. The
prices are also very reasonable.

Maracaibo
Maracaibo is my hometown, this is a description of the city...
Maracaibo is a fairly big city, there are a lot of buildings and a lot of cars. It's very hot and sometimes very windy. There aren't any seasons. It's very noisy. I like living in Maracaibo because people are friendly and there is a good nightlife, it's really dangerous, however. Maracaibo also has a big lake that used to be beautiful but now it's dirty and polluted.
