In my neighborhood, no one cares about others but themselves. Fortunately, it is something good for me because I do not have disturbing people looking at what I am doing all the time.

Nice ways to make a request!

I was just wondering if you can upload more classes like this one.

Salomé Meléndez Martínez made a comment
I'm really confident at the moment of making requests in English. Sometimes, I hesitate to ask a favor to strangers because they do not seem to be in the mood or they are just in a hurry to help anybody.

The kidnapper might want a lot of money from them to recover Jenny. Daniel must have done something illegal, so that's why he couldn't call the police.

I must improve my English level. I can't swim because I'm used to having cramps. I couldn't learn Maths when I was younger, so it is my weakness.

I think they know each other because they were partners, perhaps in the military service. But something happened that ruined their friendship.

This series might be about how these two men are going to save the missing girl. Perhaps, they will have to make some pact with the villain or face him risking their lives.

When I get up, I stretch all my body so I feel fully waken up to start the day.

When it's Christmas, my mother calls my relatives from Argentina on speakerphone, so all of us talk with them joyfully.

As a leader, I need to be sensible with the decisions I take.

My routine is to practice English so that I improve it.

Being gentle is a way to show a good education.

That's an excellent way to start with.

Well, the situations in which people ask for help are when there is a place or building on fire, or when a person suffers from a robbery. In the past, I've asked for help when I tried to get a place and felt lost. Another situation is when I asked a person to lift a heavy suitcase I was struggling to.

My first name is Salomé. I'm from Santa Cruz, Bolivia. I chose this course to improve my English level.

I'm sure I'll enjoy this course. Thanks

The activity I use the most with my learners is role play because it allows them to express more ideas related to the topic which must be interesting too. In addition, they get to know with a partner so they have this meaningful conversation in which both share opinions applying functions and vocabulary.

The techniques that are used by the teacher include being empathetic, genuine, and encouraging by giving praise. Also, the teacher should take into account that making mistakes is part of the process of learning. Many students are afraid to do something wrong because the professor gets mad or the rest of their classmates can laugh at it. Another technique is...

Salomé Meléndez Martínez made a comment
From my point of view, the teacher's attitude is the most important as it is considered to be contagious for the learner. And I can prove it because when I finished my assistantship, many students told me that the most principal reason they felt connected to my classes was that I was motivated and cheerful at the beginning of the class, so they paid all...
-
Salomé Meléndez Martínez made a comment
I agree with Patrice. I think that if we want to give praise we must be sincere to students because it is a nice way to encourage them for the hard work they are doing. I would praise my students by speaking privately in order to motivate them and also by writing their tests after evaluating them. I would use the phrase. "You are one of my best students, keep...
-
Salomé Meléndez Martínez made a comment
I saw that the teacher uses excellent techniques to build rapport. For instance, asking students about the topic to see if they have some relationship with that (Harry Potter and its writer) . Also, the teacher notices how they got to know the book. Finally, the teacher asks students to raise their hands if they have seen that topic in movies or books and what...

Salomé Meléndez Martínez made a comment
My passion for learning languages started when I was five years old. The first language my father taught me was English. In the beginning, I had this extrinsic motivation because I just wanted to please my father, but then I got really interested to know more. What increased my curiosity was watching movies and also the popular places where English is spoken....

I've never used a reflective journal before because it wasn't necessary for me. Now, I have realized that if I'm gonna become a teacher I will constantly have thoughts and plans that might be advantageous to my students. I already have my notebook and I hope I acquire this habit. Afterward, I think that I would evaluate myself after every class I have and I...
-
Salomé Meléndez Martínez made a comment
Well, it would help me a lot to know if the student's mother tongue has some differences or similarities with the new language they are learning because it will depend on how difficult or easy the process is going on. In that way, I will find out more ways to solve their problems if I see they are struggling with the new language. In addition, I would like to...
-
Salomé Meléndez Martínez made a comment
I strongly believe that a student should be encouraged in all aspects in terms of learning something. In the first place, what I would always ask them would be: "Why is your main goal if you want to master a language?" "Why are you learning this?". After receiving all the reasons from our students, we have to make them curious about the area. In my case, as a...

Salomé Meléndez Martínez made a comment
One year ago, I got a scholarship to work as a teaching assistant. My group consisted of 20 to 25 students from 18 to 35 years old. In the beginning, it was difficult to realize what their abilities to learn a language were because the classes were online. Nevertheless, doing an assessment helped me a lot to notice their level of English. I also analyzed that...

I appreciate all the knowledge that you share with us through the experiences you had as masters in this area. That advice will help me a lot, thank you.

Hi! I'm Salomé and I'm from Bolivia. I've joined this course because I'm being trained to be an English teacher in the short term. In addition, I would like to master my knowledge in terms of learning more interesting and didactic ways to make students improve their abilities.
-
Salomé Meléndez Martínez made a comment
The lesson plan I liked the most was related to beginners introducing themselves in the first English class. It is commonly said that a student cannot learn a language on the first day, but I could prove it was not valid. First of all, I gave my students some phrases related to the topic like "my name is", "I am (age), "I'm a student", among others. I...

I'm so grateful to have joined this course. I send you many hugs and greetings from Santa Cruz Bolivia.

I enjoyed the course and it really changed my mind about British food and its culture. It also helped me to compare my country's habits and traditions.
-
Salomé Meléndez Martínez made a comment
I haven't had the opportunity to try British food, but now with all the recipes, I can make it at home.

I don't celebrate Christmas, but I think that it is a beautiful moment to be in companion with the family.

My birthday is celebrated in the family the most. My mom buys a birthday cake and we eat after the big meal which is lunch.

Salomé Meléndez Martínez made a comment
I prefer coffee. In my country, I think that people prefer the same.

I haven't tried any British desserts but I would like to do it. The most popular dessert in my country is "Gelatina de Pata".

Salomé Meléndez Martínez made a comment
They need to know that the prices vary depending on where it is located in the local market. The person needs to meet a family of the region to learn to cook local dishes.

I would like to try fish and chips with ketchup.
-
Salomé Meléndez Martínez made a comment
I sometimes eat takeaway food for dinner. My favorite ones are rotisserie chicken and "Silpancho" which is a traditional food in Bolivia.
-
Salomé Meléndez Martínez made a comment
I can't order any of the boxes in Bolivia. People prefer to select the vegetables they want to buy because unfortunately some sellers choose the bad products and put them in the bag.
-
Salomé Meléndez Martínez made a comment
I shop in a big local market, and sometimes I go to the supermarkets for buying unusual products that I can't find in a local one. I go every day to shop for food because I like to walk. Online food shopping has become popular in my country due to the pandemic in 2020.

Salomé Meléndez Martínez made a comment
My father and I do the food shopping in our household. We like to do it because the local shop is near my house.

Salomé Meléndez Martínez made a comment
I learned to cook when I was a child. I only observed how mi mother cooked the meals and then I started to help her with simple things such as cutting vegetables or putting the spices. Then I did it on my own although it was difficult to avoid burning the food LOL. In the end, I can say that I prepare delicious recipes thanks to my mother and my efforts to...

These gender roles are so common in Bolivia. I think that both women and men must know and share the household chores.
-
Salomé Meléndez Martínez made a comment
My mother and I do most of the cooking in our household. During the weekdays I'm in charge of doing it, and at the weekends it's my mother's turn. When I was a child my mother did the cooking and she also started to teach me her recipes and the preparation. That's one of the reasons that I'm so grateful to her. <3

I find it interesting that how our hands in soil can release endorphins and make us feel better. It could be really helpful for depressed people too.
I agree with her and that could be a good idea for my country and the rest of the places to save the planet. -
Salomé Meléndez Martínez made a comment
I grow some vegetables in my garden. For example, onion and tomatoes. Also, I have ginger and turmeric plants. In Bolivia, it's common to grow people's food in the rural areas, but not in the city.
-
Salomé Meléndez Martínez made a comment
It's easy to find in Bolivia this kind of vegan alternative. However, the prices are not affordable for everyone. Actually, vegan and vegetarian food is expensive in restaurants, especially when the products are unusual.
-
Salomé Meléndez Martínez made a comment
The idea is so great because we need to be conscious about our health. Currently, many people usually have diseases referring to digestion problems. Also, we must reflect on animal rights and try to eat less meat to keep the balance of the main resources like water. In Bolivia, it's not easy to become a vegetarian because it is cultural and traditional.
-
Salomé Meléndez Martínez made a comment
In Bolivia, only a few people are both vegans or vegetarians. In my case, I can live without eating any kind of meat, but it's so essential to have dairy products at home. Fortunately, I'm not used to having fried food or drinking soda.
-
Salomé Meléndez Martínez made a comment
I think Bolivian food is one of the lightest cuisines in the world because most of their dishes are cooked and not fried as other foreign food. I eat healthy food. I usually have fruit during the day and I avoid consuming too much sugar. Also, I prefer drinking water instead of processed juice. In addition, I add some vegetables in my lunch.
-
Salomé Meléndez Martínez made a comment
Sandwiches are very popular in my country. There is a traditional one located in La Paz and it is called "Sandwich de Chola" It is so delicious. In my case, I boil the chicken in a pot with garlic and onion. Then I chop it and I put it between the slices of bread. Finally, I add ketchup to make it more delicious.

Salomé Meléndez Martínez made a comment
In my country, lunch is the big meal of the day. So people usually have soup as the starter of the menu, and finally the main course. They have this menu at 12:00 pm
-
Salomé Meléndez Martínez made a comment
My favorite thing in this course were the recipes, some curiosities about the culture and habits of British people. I'm looking for knowing more about it.
-
Salomé Meléndez Martínez made a comment
The important thing that the British people should know about our food habits in Bolivia is that we have a big meal during lunch and not at dinner time.
-
Salomé Meléndez Martínez made a comment
Some of the ingredients are new to me, so I think it's gonna be difficult to find them. However, the dish must be delicious!

Salomé Meléndez Martínez made a comment
In Bolivia, it is common to have at home hot pepper, cumin, paprika, oregano, cinnamon, and cloves.

I know a family-run restaurant called "La casa del campo". I'm not used to going frequently to restaurants, but I sometimes go to "Tía Lia" which is a buffet restaurant. I like it because I can choose the salad that I want.

Salomé Meléndez Martínez made a comment
I'm surprised because I didn't know Indian food was the most popular in the UK and called in a general way. In my country, the most typical Chinese food is Sushi.
-
Salomé Meléndez Martínez made a comment
In my country, the most popular restaurants are those that offer fast food. Also, they usually cook Italian food at home like Pizza or Lazaña.

Despite having tried many foreign dishes from some countries, my favorite cuisine is always Bolivian food. I'm very traditional and I'm would never change it.

Salomé Meléndez Martínez made a comment
Not most of the people in my country eat dishes from different countries, but I can mention the most popular ones. For example, Sushi, Pasta, Lazaña and Pizza. I absolutely love Italian food.

The traditional breakfast in my country is not as healthy as it should be. Most people have baked products with coffee or tea. Some others have cereal like cornflakes or oatmeal. Few of them prefer to have vegan food. In addition, I know some friends that are not used to having breakfast. In my case, I try to add some vegetables on it, so I feel great and with...
-
I'm not sure about what kidneys, Weetabix, and masala chai are.
-
Salomé Meléndez Martínez made a comment
As far as I'm concerned Bolivian people don't have a traditional breakfast. However, most of them usually have tea or coffee with bread because it doesn't take a lot of time and it's simple for those who are in a hurry to go to work early.
-
Salomé Meléndez Martínez made a comment
Of course, I would like to try it, but also adding some vegetables. I don't think people in the UK eat this every day.

Hi, I'm from Bolivia.
I recommend you to try Bolivian food. There are many typical and delicious dishes. The ones that I like the most are: Piquemacho, Carbonada, and Falso Conejo. I would love to try British food too, so I'm gonna cook one of the recipes you shared. Thank you.

Hi! I'm Salomé
I joined this course to be immersed in British culture and to improve my English skills.
I'm interested in the most popular food of Great Britain, and if people prefer to eat foreign food or their traditional one. Also, I would like to know the recipes and the preparations to cook at home. -
Salomé Meléndez Martínez made a comment
Hi everyone! I'm so happy to join this course. Firstly, I live in the city of Santa Cruz, Bolivia. Actually, I don't have any favorite food. Sometimes, I change my preferences, but if I chose, I would enjoy "Piquemacho" the most. It's a typical dish from Cochabamba, Bolivia. Finally, my expectations for this course are getting in touch with British culture and...

Salomé Meléndez Martínez made a comment
The people have mostly positive feelings about British food because of its variety of food choices. In my opinion, I think that British food is great. I have never tried any of its dishes, so I would enjoy it.

Dear Sir/Madam
I am writing to complain about a problem that my new phone Xiaomi has. I can not hear anything when I make calls to my friends. I have to turn on the speaker to hear, but I feel uncomfortable with that. I would like it to be fixed or changed by another one. Please contact me as soon as posible.
Best wishes,
