English blog

My name is Heberth Bolivar, I am 19 years old and I am from Barranquilla, Colombia. I am studying business administration at Simon Bolivar University.

In this blog I'm going to tell you how my English classes are and what I teach every week in my second level of English at the University, my teacher is called Armando Rivaldo, my English classes are on Wednesdays from 8 to 10 am and Fridays from 8 to 10 am.

Today in English class we were talking about the present continuos and how to add the ING to the verbs.

For example:

1)He is speaking with her friends.

 2)She is going shopping tonight.

 3)We are playing tennis this weekend.

This is what I did on Thursday                                            

Morning: Yesterday I woke up at 10:00 am                 

I took a shower at 10:15 am 

I had breakfast at 10:30 am 

Then I started to do my English homework. 

Affternoon: I had lunch at 12:40 pm. 

I finished my activities at 2:00 pm. 

I watched a series on netflix at 6 o'clock.            

Night: I went to bed at 10:00 at night.

Today in English class we were talking about the past simple. 

1) I went to the beach in cartagena for a swim. 

2) I went to a friend's farm and played soccer.

3) On my last vacation, I cooked a stuffed chichen with my mom. 

I would like to travel all over Europe because that continent has a lot of history. 

I have to go to the university every day, because, I'm studying business administration.

I don't have to cook because my mom makes my food. 

I can't go to play, because I have to go to university.
