grammar is too complicated and very
different from my mother tongue.
Although my teachers were nice and
patient, it was very difficult for me to learn
the numerous rules about verbs and
pronunciation. The good point about that
experience is that I discovered that I am a
brave person who is not afraid of
challenges. I also had the chance to
experience the language through the local
culture and I think that Colombians are
very nice and patience with foreigners.
The whole experience was very positive
because I had to face daily life in the
context of the language I was learning and
that gave a priceless input in terms of real
use of the language, idioms and
collocations. I think that it was the best
way to start my learning process, and I
highly recommend to anyone who wants
to learn a foreign language, to go and live
within the local culture. You have fun and
learn a lot.

A friend for
Have you ever had a pet? If the answer is
yes, you will know what I’m talking about,
if not, you will end up craving for having
one. Having a pet is one of the most
beautiful experiences I have ever had.
When I was a child, I wasn’t allowed to
have animals at home, but when I was old
enough and started to earn my own
money, I made the decision and adopted a
cat. We have been together for four years
now, and I can’t imagine my live without
her. Cats are clean and you don’t have to
take them for walks because they do it on
their own. They regulate their meals. They
eat the amount they need and at the
moment they want to. You can be out
even for two days, and cats are not going
to starve. People usually think that they
are mean but that’s not true. Every day
when I get home from work, there is my
little ball of fur purring at the door to
welcome me. Cats are adorable and they
have their own way and time to express
affection. That’s what makes cats so
fascinating: they are still a mystery for
humans.

pet is a nightmare! b) Having a pet is

Having a pet is too complicated.

pet? a) When the author was a child. b)
