Hi everyone!
Terry I'm writing today because tomorrow I won't be able to go to our class because I'm going to meet a possible host family here in Memphis! And the only time that the host father has it is during our class!
I'm so worry about missing the test but It's very important and is a opportunity to stay here in Memphis!
I hope I'll be able to do the test after!
Thanks and I'm so sorry for miss it!
I hope everybody gets 100 tomorrow!!
See you all on Monday.. Have a wonderful weekend!!

IEI Program...


It had pass a month since the fist time we met each other... it's facinating how things are going. I love to learn new things each day but the most beautiful part of this time that we have had is the oppotunity of share time with the new friends that you have made. A few days ago with some friends we took some pictures that will be always there to remember that even though some times language can be a problem, now thanks to the IEI program we are all together in the same ship.

For the weekend!!

Two factory workers are talking.
The woman says, “I can make the boss give me the day off.”
The man replies, “And how would you do that?”
The woman says, “Just wait and see.”
She then hangs upside-down from the ceiling.
The boss comes in and says, “What are you doing?”
The woman replies, “I’m a light bulb.”
The boss then says, “You’ve been working so much that you’ve gone crazy. I think you need to take the day off.”
The man starts to follow her and the boss says, “Where are you going?”
The man says, “I’m going home, too. I can’t work in the dark.”
lol....

O. Henry's "Two Thanksgiving Day Gentlemen"


Did you like this story? Was it satisfying? What about its irony? Talk about whatever you like. I agree with his subtle criticism of people who think they're doing a good deed by helping someone once a year.

The Giver, Chapter 7

Why do you think "precision of language" is so important to the community?

Hi everyone! I just want to share with you something that I really enjoy, and that's the nature. This beautiful picture that I attach it's form Puerto Rico. I were there for almost 3 years and I really enjoyed every beautiful sunset... sunsets just like this one. This picture is from a place called "El Faro". It's a relaxing place were you can go whenever you want or whenever you need.
I think that sunsets, flowers, trees... general nature are gifts from God and it's something that we should enjoy every day.

The Blanket

So, class, what do you think happens to the grandfather? To the father and his awful fiance? Does it bother you that the author doesn't really tell us? I, for one, think the father gets the message his son communicated and comes to his senses. How about you?
