Well done!
I honestly think that you have made good progress this year - I hope that you will continue making the same big effort next year too.
Sometimes your comments were cryptic but I can see from them that you pay attention in class. What's more they were entertaining :-)
Who is glad about good of other people is a good man. The good man is an endangered species. Be careful.
When I began writing in your blog, I wasted seven or more hours to write four lines. I felt very tired and it cost too much. Nowadays I feel sure and I enjoy very much, it´s fun and funny, although I make a lot of mistakes.
I´m a bit clumsy to lear English and I´m a busy man (LOL), but you have taught me to know to learn and to study English languaje.
Thank you very much. José.
You should join Nicolás and Luciti in Facebook - I think you'd like it as much as the blog.
You don't have to use your real name - I've already thought of one that you could use: "Joseph Segovia". What do you think?
It might be even better. Give it a go!
