Don't worry be happy.

Hello everyone. Today I would like to comment on something that is complete true.

 

When you have a problem, if you worry you will make it bigger. So, when you have a problem what we have to do is try to overcome it. Of course there are situations that we need to worry about but we cannot strees for them. If we cannot figure out a solution for the situation, let things happen.

 

I know that many people are undergoing for such as terrible situations but what we can do. We have to pray and beg God to give them confort and console. I think worrying is not the solution. Face you problems and cheer up.

 

There is a song that I really like and I made my version on the karaoke group. Want to see it go to http://my.englishclub.com/group/karaoke/forum/topics/carlos-workshop-don-t-worry-be-happy.

 

Don't worry and be happy.

Losing my religion

Hello everyone.

 

I think there's a moment in your life when you question your beliefs and policies. When you question who you are, what you are and many others things. 

 

In my case, I am a Catholic man. I think it is a personal decision but of course my family has influenced me on that. All my family is Catholic, I was risen by my grandparents and they go to mass every single Sunday, they pray every single day and they are very good people. So, I follow their example; however, when I was a teenager, I asked myself why I have to be catholic. I mean just because my family is. 

 

I started not to go to mass, to say that I believe in God but not in the Church and that I was losing my religion. But, one day I realized that I miss it, that I miss going to the Church, that I need to share that with my family and I need to recover my relationship with God.

 

Today, I sang a song, losing my religion by REM I really like it and I consider it is a classic, go and check the Karaoke group and enjoy our singings.

Feeling like loving.

When you are in love, you lost your mind because it flies wher the other person is. When you are in love, you just think of that person, you just live for him/her, you just want to have fun with them and love them. 

 

Today, I sing, "Every breath you take" by the police. I love this song because it express how a man can love a woman, how a man can give away his life for the love of his life. I would like to love someone that deep, give away everything for that person. 

 

I want to love someone with all my heart and at the end would like to say every breath you take I'll be watching you.

What happen to parents?

Hi everyone, as you know I work as a teacher and this is a profession that no many people value as it should be. Today, I have a concern and it is about how parents are managing the relationship with their Children. I am twenty-five years old and my mom and dad have been there always. They have been there for supporting me , for advicing me. If they have to ground me, they do it, it I was sad, they would console me, if my marks at school were great they congratulated me and if I failed they made me improve.

 

Nowadays, parents are very absent in children's lives, they think that kids just need money and being sent to school. That's not true, kids really need be accompanie buy their parents. They are in a critical stage where examples and intances are really need.

 

I have to say that parents are not responsible, they have let children grow up with out any support. I think they need to chage up and have a need to be a more careful people.

Being a teacher, not having fun.

I have been a English teacher for 4 years and this year has been really hard. My studentrs seem to not liking the classes and the activities that I make are worthless to them. Besides, they aren't good at my classes: they get up and talk, they make fun of their classmates and they say that learning English is a waste of time (and if you have read my previous blog, you know what I think of that).

 

I try to be as creative as I can: work in groups, make plays, listen to music and have lots of fun with them but they don't care that much. They just don't have a nice attitude towards the class. 

 

there are some students that understand English but because they take private classes. There are some other that practice their English because the have travel abroad or have some relatives at an English Speaking country.

 

I'm a bit tired cuz i

t seems that I'm spending my time on something that it's not value and well I have to keep on doing but we not mativation.

 

I need a change of attitude I need a new inspiration.

WASTING TIME

Hello everyone. 

 

Today, I would like to write about something that is awark for me. Wasting time. First at all, I would like to ask how do we invest time. I mean, when you study or work are you investing your time? And when you play video games and watch t.v. so you waste it. I don't think so. I think time is a thing that you cannot either invest it or waste it. The time can be only spent. 

 

You spent time doing the this you are due to do or you like to do; so you spend time when you're working, reading, watching a movie, having vacation and so on. As a matter of fact people would say: he is playing video games, he is wasting his time, but if I do it with a purpose like having fun, relaxing or learning English, I was not wasting my time I was investing it, so for that reason I would say "you don't invest or waste time, you just spend it.

 

So, why we worry that much about time. It's something that pass I we are not able to chage it. If time cosume our lives we are gonna be so frustated and routinary. So, why not to spend you time on something you really like and you are good at it, like: singing, writing, playing a sport or even having fun with your friends and family.

 

Remeber you don't waste your time nor invest it. You can only spend it.

Boys don't cry.

Do you think that boy should or shouldn't cry.

 

In my personal opinion, I think  boys can cry when they feel like crying. Of course, I would say that boys should not cry in public. They rather do it in private, buy yes, us as boys can cry.

 

Sometimes, we cry because we feel blue and we can show our feelings. Sometimes, people feel happines or are nostalgic so it would be good to cry. Some people cry because they are heart-broken. 

 

I like to cry once in a while, because when I cry I feel relief and I rest from that feeling.

 

Today, I would like to sing a song by the cure named "Boys don't cry.?

 

Make any comments if you feel like.

Friendship and love's day.

Today in my country, we are celebrating love and friendship's day. It is not a national holiday but it is a very common spread feast. Many people consider this day as a commercial day, when companies and enterprises want us to buy things for our beloves and it can be true. However, having special people in your live it is just an amazing opportunity that God gives us and we have to take advantage of that. 

 

I have lots of friends and my family is very special for me so, this day it's made for share with them, let them know that I love them and that I really appreciate what they've done for me. My family has always been there for me and my friends have been a support and have always had helping hand when I need them. 

 

Today, I hope they're having a great day and I made a recording on the Karaoke group so take a listen and comment.

 

Happy love and friendship's day.

Should I be afraid?

Every day I ask my self the same question.

 

I wish I weren't an afraid person but I am. I am afraid about the weather, about my life, about my work, about my relationship, about my family; I have so many things that make me feel scare. 

 

I would like to take a breath and let thing happen, but I cannot.

 

Every single day, I wake up and pray to God and I ask for wisdom and tranquility; however, I don't feel so self-assure of my self. I don't know why I feel this way but I have that feeling. 

 

I used to be a very confident person; now, I am terribly unconfident. I would like to take things easy and don't worry because there's nothing to be worry about. Maybe, it is because I don¡t get prepare for changes and for things that I know someday will happen. 

 

What should I do? I'd better listen to some music and get relax. You know what. I'm not sleeping well, so I think I should go to the doctor and have a check, maybe something is wrong with me and it could have a connection with my attitide. I wanna have fun, get a girlfriend, travel, relax, learn and live. 

 

God, I need you the most, I miss you the most, but you're with me so, go for it

Vacation

It is the time for yourself. It's the time for relaxation and have some fun. Sometimes, you travel, sometimes, you sit on a chair, pick up a book and spend your time with a bit of imagination. 

 

But it is sad for me because I don't have summer vacation. I have to work ten month old along and I just have two weeks for Christmas so I don't travel anywhere cuz I spend time with my family and my friends, that is cool.

 

What  I want to make clear it is that you have to enjoy the time you have yourself, don't take it granted.

To be gifted by God.

Hello, every one.Today, would like to write about a topic that I have think over several times. I know that we have to write about language and how to learn English. That´s what I'm gonna do. However, I'm going to realate this to a bit of religion.Yesterday, I went mass, I'm Catholic, and the priest started to talk in what they call angelical language. I thought for my self. I don't think that this is language, for me they are just doing some noise with their mouth.Then I thought, What is a gift, and what is to be gifted. I think all of us have that gift because learning a language is not easy, it's very hard. You have to be dedicated, you must spend time practicing, you have to lost your fear, you should be thankful for what you have learnt.In brief, I think that we are blessed because we can learn a language, change experiences and improve every single day.l
