Sad day in Paris (11/14/2015)

Today is a sad day; I can’t believe what happened yesterday night in Paris.

During the week, while swimming early in the morning, I had been thinking what I was going to write about in this, my second blog spot. I had in my mind several different issues but, telling the truth, right now I don’t even remember what those issues are.

I am deeply shocked and saddened by the massacre of people in the discotheque La Bataclan. What I was watching on TV was horrible. There were people running away from the killing, some of them running for their live through the back street of the night club, while others were hanging from the window trying not to be watched by terrorists.

I heard on TV that French hostages asked for help via social networks; that made me feel terribly anxious.  I couldn’t sleep last night thinking of those parents worried about their children.

Nothing can be said to lessen the pain to the victims’ families. I hope they could find something that could mitigate their pain. 

Pray for Paris.

My first blog post (11/6/2015)

I have just created my blog, called ‘What about? Blogging about’. I have never thought I was going to be a blogger but this year I began a new English course and all students have been kindly invited to participate fully in class and do lot of things for improving our English. It’s no easy for me to find time to do all the things I should do for making my English better. Realistically, I still have much to study and learn about English. I have to develop my reading, writing, listening and speaking skills, and I have to extend not only my vocabulary but also the grammar.

So, here I am, trying to write my first blog post. First thing I have to do is to decide what the blog is going to be about. Perhaps I should think what activities I enjoy the most, such as reading, cooking, travelling or doing sports, and blogging about one of these issues. However, although I love all these things I realize I would not be comfortable writing only about one of them. I reckon I’ll let my imagination run wild and I’ll write about different issues depending of my mood.

That’s it for today, it has been a hard week and I feel exhausted.

Hopefully, we will achieve good results in this new adventure that we have just begun.
