To my English teacher

Hi Jesús:

Sorry I haven´t written before, but I´ve been really busy with my end-of-term exams. Today is Sunday, the twenty eight of August. It is hot today. I am in the beach with Pepe and Paty my parents. We live in a fourth floor apartment in Tavernes de la Valldigna. It´s an building old without elevator.

My English to go from bad to worse. Because, I studied English seventh years ago, when I left school.

I wasn´t sure what to do, so I decided to take an opportunity to improve my English.

I am studing English now. I am writing, reading and watching the basic English. I was early getting up every day. I usually study English in the morning.



All the best.



Oscar Alejandro.

Difference Between UK and US English

English, as we all know, is considered as the universal language. It is spoken all over the world. However, you will also notice that people all over the world are using different types of English. Let’s take a closer look at these two popular types: UK and US English.
Even if both types of English are widely used, there are some differences that will be worth knowing to identify the type of English that you are using.

US English is what we know as the American English which is widely used in the United States. UK English, on the other hand, is known as the British English. Some also call it the BBC English since it is the English used by British reporters, and another name for it is the Queen’s English.
In terms of vocabulary, some words in US English may mean something different in UK English. For example, the word biscuit for the British means baked sweet or savoury cake that is hard when baked and softens over time; while in the US it is a quick bread served with savoury foods.
With regards to pronunciation, American English is more nasal. Stress is also another difference to consider. Just like in the word princess, British stress the second syllable while Americans stressed the first.

Grammar approach also poses some difference between the two. US English makes use of simple past tense in situations where British will use the present perfect tense. This sometimes creates confusion since the rules and use of grammar is different between the two.
Whether you prefer to use US or UK English, you have to familiarize yourself with how each one is used to ensure that messages are sent clearly.
Summary:
1.US English is identified as American English while UK English is more popularly known as British English.

2.US English may stress a word on the first syllable while UK English will normally put stress on the second syllable.
3.US English adopts the –og on some word endings instead of the –ogue that UK English prefers.

4.US English make use of simple past tense in sentences while UK English will use present perfect tense.

A visit to Madrid

The Paseo de la Castellana crosses Madrid from North to South, and a certain area is also the name of the Paseo de Recoletos and Paseo del Prado. As it crosses Alcalá street, is the Cibeles square, where you can also see, on one side the imposing post office and the other the Casa de América. Alcalá forward will run into the Park del Buen Retiro. But if we follow the direction of the Paseo de Recoletos to the Atocha station, it crosses the Neptune square and give to the Paseo del Prado. Here begins the famous golden triangle axis or the arts. On one side of the walk, the Prado. Then the Botanic Garden, the other side of the street, the Thyssen Museum, and finally, up the street Atocha, The Museum Reina Sofía.

description of Dracula

His eyebrows were thick and bushy, almost meeting over his nose, which was long and thin. His mouth, partly hidden under the heavy moustache, was fixed and rather cruel-looking, whith sharp white teeth protruding over the lips. His ears were pale and the tops were extremely pointed; his chin was broad and strong and his cheeks firm but thin.
I had notice the backs of his hands as they lay on his knees in the firelight and they had seemed rather white and dine; but seeing them now close to me, I realised that they were rather coarse - broad, with squat fingers. Strange to say, there were hairs in the centre of the palms. His nails were long and fine and cut to a sharp point.
