 MY LAPTOP

My laptop is the most important thing to me. I have had many laptops in my life. I use it
every day because it is essential for my studies, in fact, I have been using a laptop
since I was ten years old. On the other hand, I want to tell you that I have many
reasons why my laptop is very essential for me. I will also tell you about my daily
routine.

Well, I am going to start with the reasons. The first reason is because my laptop makes
it easier for me to study since nowadays due to the pandemic, I take virtual classes and
thanks to the laptop I can see my classes, communicate with my classmates, and do
my work. In fact, I have not gone a day without using my laptop. And I know a lot of
people think this is a bad habit that I should change and do other things like go for a
walk or spend more time with my family, but I can not always do that because
sometimes I have homework or other things to do. In some cases, I think I have
become more dependent on my laptop these past few years.

Another reason the laptop is important is because it helps me clear my mind. For
example, I watch a lot of movies every Saturday. Every day I zoom with my friends to
talk about our day. I just remembered that tomorrow is my friend's birthday, so we will
have a virtual zoom party. I can also download some games that I want. I have played
many games on my laptop. At the moment I am looking for a game about criminals, I
like this kind of games, I don't know why. I have been researching about other type of
games since 2020 but I still can't find any that catches my attention. So, I have decided
to keep looking.

Well, now I want to tell you about my daily routine. I get up at 6 am, shower and have
breakfast at 7:30 am. Then I go to my desk, turn on my laptop and go into my first
class. I usually have 3 classes a day Then I go to the kitchen and help my mom cook,
lunch. Then I help my little cousin with her homework. In the afternoon I do my college
work, make progress with some projects, and go into my ICPNA classes, study a little
bit about the classes I had that day. Then I create a zoom with my friends and finally go
to bed at 11 pm. I have noticed that I spend most of my time on the laptop. Maybe
someday when the pandemic is over my routine may change.

In conclusion I believe that all students today spend a lot of time on their laptops
because it is the only way they have to continue studying and that is why laptops are
very important because they allow us to continue educating ourselves day by day.

 MY GOAL

For most of my life, one of my goals has been to visit California. I have been waiting for
this trip since I was a very young child. This dream is finally going to come true
because I am going next year for a month. I am very excited because I will have fulfilled
my dream before the end of 2022. I am going to visit San Francisco, Las Vegas, and
the vineyards of California. I am going to tell you my reasons why I want to travel to this
country and what is my travel plan.

One of the reasons why I want to travel to California is because California is one of the
best American gastronomic destinations, I am really excited to enjoy one of its typical
dishes. By the end of my trip I will have been eating different types of food. In this
country I will be relaxing and get out of my daily routine. It is very difficult for me to
change my daily routine or relax because I am studying at university and there is
always homework, exams, or group work. Further I will learn new customs. This is an
important reason, because I have given a lot of consideration to living in this country
and I think it is important to know the customs of the Americans who live there.

Furthermore, I think that when I return to Peru, I will have already decided whether to
move to California or not. Also, I am going to visit my family and I am going to take
some dance classes. I love to dance to different kinds of music. When I was a child, my
mother always signed me up for dance classes every summer. I considered that when I
return, I will have learned new dance steps. On the other hand, I am going to look
some courses that I can take for my career because this will help me grow
professionally.

On the other hand, I want to write about my travel plan. This month, after my classes, I
always look at the price of tickets to California. In case any discount or promotion
appears. I consider that I will have bought my ticket for next month because I will
already have enough money, and I have also investigated the duration of the flight.
When I arrive, I consider that I will have been flying over 18 hours because I am not
going to buy a ticket for a layover flight.

Finally, I hope this is not the last trip I will take. On my next trip I want to go to Spain
because my cousin lives there, and I want to see him. By the time I travel to Spain I will
have finished my university studies and maybe I can visit many touristic places and
meet new people.
