Coraline Tale - Feb 11th, 2025.

 Hello! Today, I decided to read and note on the same PDF all the words I do not understand or don't know at all. When I finished taking notes on the first chapter, I read it for a second time and I enjoyed it most because I understood better all the context of the story. This chapter had too many descriptions of the new place Coraline´s family moved. Talked about her neighbors, her house inside and outside, and her mother and father. What she likes and doesn´t like for example she loves to go outside and explore and she hates her father´s recipes. She felt uncomfortable with spiders. Tomorrow I will begin the second chapter and I think I could take the same way as the first chapter until find a better way to read.

  Hello!  Today I began my new favorite activity to enjoy and learn: reading books in English. The first step was to choose the book. My first thought was to read Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone because these days, I am working on a Hermione Amigurumi doll with one miss coming to my Amigurumi Workshops. But then I think I should read the book Coraline Tale because I have to work on a Coraline amigurumi keychain for one client. So today I searched the PDF Book to begin to read it. Thirty minutes was too short to read, and I couldn´t finish the first part like I wanted. Anyway, I feel happy to begin a new reading book. These amigurumi dolls I made last October to celebrate Halloween

Hi!  Today, we had a different, very interactive class.  It allowed us to explore our interests and learn more about the interests of our classmates and the teacher.  We also talked about integrating other alternatives into our lists of interests and likes.  For today, we have to study idioms. I find that topic very interesting.  I'll try to learn as much as I can.

  Hello!  Today was a day with a special activity with the counselor, after the group work presentations yesterday.  All the activities with the counselor were very motivating and full of enthusiasm.  We shared how we felt with the group, with the teacher, and with English.  What a nice group, I'm very happy to have had such a great opportunity to learn.  I really didn't just learn more English; I learned to use more technological tools, I learned to work more in groups, and I rekindled my pleasure for learning, reading, and even watching movies. In short, I have received an immense gift, and I am very grateful for it.  After that motivating activity, we had to work on guide #8 with listening exercises and another part looking for information about hobbies.  I read several articles and watched a couple of YouTube videos on the topic.

  Hello! I apologize deeply those days passed too quickly. I cannot believe what remained unwritten for three days. On Thursday, we took the test, and I was so nervous.  The listening part was different from the ones we did in practice.  Honestly, the part where we had to write the answers left me a bit lost.  The conversation part was very entertaining. In the group, we started talking about different topics and realized that the teacher was in the group only when she told us.  For Friday, we had to study the vocabulary because we need to keep practicing the conversations, and that helps us become more fluent. Now, when I watch a series, I put it in English with English subtitles to keep practicing and learning the correct pronunciation of the words.  Today, the work was in the same groups. The girls and I were creating a conversation using all the topics covered in this module, and then we met again at 6 PM to practice.  This is the last week of clas...
