Post 5: "My Favorite Food"



Hello friends!!


Today I will talk about my favorite food. I like the food that are sweet as desserts. Fruit desserts are my favorite, because these have a rich flavor and are very nice. Besides eating fruit it is very healthy, because the fruits contain multiple vitamins and mineral ingredients.

When summer comes, my mom and I bought a lot of  fruits, usually strawberries, which we keep in the refrigerator. In hot days we prepare fruit smoothies with milk and honey, which are great for freshening up. In addition to these shakes, we prepare desserts that are on the Internet.

My mom is diabetic, for this reasons I searched in the Internet for recipes of healthy desserts so she can eat without fear. I remember last summer, I found the recipe for an apple pie that she loved and for that reason we think to do it again in this summer.

This dessert is easy to prepare, because only need the following ingredients: 270 g flour, 1/4 teaspoon yeast,1/4 teaspoon salt, A teaspoon of butter and 3 tbsp cold water. To make the Custard cream :350 grams of milk, 1 egg yolk, 25 grams tagatose, 15 grams cornstarch. Finally, for decorating: 2 blocks golden. 

Mounting:

We stretched our pastry over the floured table . We cover the chosen mold and cut the excess. We distribute our pastry cream and peeled apples and we rolled the ingredients. Bake at 180 degrees for 20 minutes. After the baking time ,we heat two tablespoons of peach jam and with the help of a brush we paint the cake.

I like very much cooking with my mom, because I think it is relaxing and de-stressing. When I decorate a desserts I feel that I'm doing a little work of art.

Kind Regards!!

PET Practice


Reflection: 
1. Reflect about your reading comprehension in PET activities 1 and 2, and say what was difficult for you at the moment to develop these exercises. (50 words)         
In these activities what was difficult for me was the first part of the PET, because when I was reading of text I felt that these talk almost the same thing, and then I could not identify the text that was adequate for each specific person.  On the other hand, in the second part, I did not know some words and this did not allow understanding the phrases.

2. From the Top 10 places to visit, choose one and explain in short why did you choose it. (50 words)
Choosing one of the ten places is very difficult for me, because all are wonderful. The place that I chose was Machu Picchu, for the reason that I believe is a place a quiet, peaceful environment for resting and relieve tension.  I would like to feel and breathe the pure air of this place.

3. Reflect on how useful can be learning English in your future job or life and what topics or contents would you like to learn about. (50 words)
I believe that learning English is very important, because today we live in a globalized world which has brought us other cultures with other languages. In my future job I know that I will need to read documents written in English and to talk about topics of my career with foreign professionals. Furthermore in my personal life I believe that learning English I would help me a lot when I start going abroad.

Post 4: My Pets



Hello my Friends!!!!

In this opportunity, I will talk about the pets that I have had. In my infancy, when I was about four or five years old, I had a tender and playful puppy, which I loved with all my heart. I called her Fany, because I liked this name I thought that was beautiful. When I was nine year old I have other dog that was extremely small, he had the size of my hand and I could take him anywhere inside the purse or bag. This dog I called him Osito, because he was very similar a cuddly that I had. I generally when I chose the name of my pets I thought about things that was similar to them. 


I liked in the future to have a hamster, because I believe are very tender and loving, but really the pets that I like the most are the dogs. I love the kind of pets that can accompany us and express us affection.


I believe that to have exotic pets can be a beautiful experience, but this also can be dangerous, because many of these animals need special care to live a healthy life. The habitat that we will provide to them must be appropriate, both in terms of its dimensions and characteristics of lighting, temperature and humidity. It is very important before choosing an exotic pet, we learn about it for enjoying their company without dangers. I personally like have a tortoise, but before I need to learn about her.
Kind Regards!!.

Post 3: My Favorite Sport


Hello Friends!!

We all know that sport is good for our health, but not many people practice for various reasons.

Today I will talk about swimming, which is my favorite sport. Swimming is a sport that involves movement through water using bodily extremities and usually without using any artificial device or support for swimming.

I love this activity, because it is a useful and beneficial to health both physically and psychically; this exercise strengthens the muscles and memory. Anyone can practice this sport, because it is an activity without impacts, rebounds and sudden movements, that is, safe and low complexity. Swimming acts against pain in damage and ageing, so long as the technique used is correct.

I do not practice this sport now, but when I was 9 years old, I gave free swimming lessons in the swimming pool of my commune and I liked it. I remember that after swimming, I felt great.

In future I would like to practice this sport, because I am aware of its benefits, but it will not be easy for me to do this, because I can not swim well.

There are many sports besides swimming that I love, such as running, which try to practice in my spare time. 

Kind regards!!
