Sample Post :::::: My best holiday ever

My best holiday ever

Considering the length, I have to say that my best holiday was one that lasted a month and a half. Also, it is the best because in 2004, I was travelling on my own and it was quite an exciting experience. 
I spent most of my time in Belgium, in the capital Brussels, but from there I travelled to other cities in Belgium like Liége and Bruges. By bus, by car or by train I visited London, Paris and Amsterdam too.

Apart from getting around old and beautiful cities, I visited friends and they were very nice with me. I stayed with them, sometimes for two nights or with some others for a week depending on who I was visiting. 
I spent 6 films, so I got plenty of black and white pictures from that trip. I spent money going to museums, and all of them where so interesting... I’m sure I would have visited more museums if I had had more money.

The most important reason to consider this my best holidays was the fact that I was on my own and obviously the chance I had to visit different countries in a bit more than a month. I’m afraid I have no pictures to upload as I didn’t take digital photos and I haven’t scanned them either.

Sample Post A country I'd like to visit

A country I'd like to visit

It’s incredibly difficult to choose one single country I’d like to visit because I want to visit at least two in every continent. One country I’d love to visit is Angola, in Africa, because this continent is one of the most interesting in so many respects. 

I know very little about Angola but when I go, I’ll visit the capital city Luanda. I heard about this place because my first capoeira teacher and my first Portuguese teacher are both from there. And I know they speak Portuguese because Portugal invaded that part of Africa. I also know it’s a poor place but not as poor as many others in that continent.

When I’m there, I’d like to visit Miguel and Zeferino, -my first capoeira teacher and his cousin, my first Portuguese teacher- as well as their families. They’re both from there and they’re currently working there too. Apart from that, I’d love to go to the beach, walk around the city, dance zouk and practice Portuguese. Although I haven’t been there yet, I’d like to work, to study and live there. As a teacher I could work teaching Spanish and/or English, I could also study there and if I stay to live there, I’ll try to find a place near the Atlantic Ocean.

  

Welcome back to English!

Dear Class,

This semester we'll write ten posts so I hope you enjoy this new experience. We'll be all reading each others blogs so you get to write comments on your classmates' blogs as well.
Remember to be respectful to make comments and comments of course have to longer than: Wow, that's great!

Try to use all the English you know instead of using Google translator. If you need to translate something, please ask me or use: www.linguee.es


Best of luck,

Belén
