| Eiffel Tower |
My dream is to travel around the world, visit the Pyramids in Egypt and The
Eiffel Tower in Paris. Of course, I want to graduate from Engineering School and be a good engineer. I also want to learn to speak French, and Italian. I’d love to work in an important company and buy a house, get married and start a family.
About English, I love to learn new languages. I think English is very important. What do I do to practice my English? well, I listen to music and watch TV in English. It’s a good exercise. I also chat on the internet and have friends in many countries. I use social networks like facebook and twitter to connect to people around the world and make friends. I also use my mobile phone to write messages or surf the internet for new vocabulary. Nowadays, there are really cool applications to practice and learn new languages. I used Duolingo. I can write well, but I need to practice more. The most difficult for me is speaking. I want to practice in class and out of class, too. I hope I can make a lot of friends and practice speaking in this class.
Well, This is a little bit about me. Hope you liked it...
Keep on Shining Love and Peace!
