At the beginning of the class the teacher read the activities for the next module. We have to read the book Me before you, and we need to be ready for a surprise comment about it. I read until chapter 12 and I read for second until chapter 10 because I wanted to read slowly and find all the words that I couldn't understand. We have to write 15 journals of 400 words, this is difficult because we don't have classes a lot of days so we need to take advantage of every class to write the journal.

The third homework is have a conversation with a native speaker. We have to record the conversation and take us a picture with the foreign person. When I was in Basic English course in La Fortuna, the teacher Patricia gave us a homework like this, but it was worse because we don't have experience and vocabulary to speak. So now I am not afraid because I am better than before. I remembered that when I asked someone to record the video, I asked a women who was interviewed before for other student, so she told me "Of course, I know what do you have to do and I am available, let's go!". It was nice and I immediately lost the fear.

We have another nice homework, we have to record a movie. In high school I participated in some movies, I am not a good actress but I like this kind of homework, there are funny.

Then, we will have all the tests and we will finish the module.

But four big homeworks are not enough for Yerlin, so we have to do 3 presentations more. Excellent!

I have to expose about National Parks, I choose specifically Arenal Volcano, about English Speaking Countries and I wanted to talk of New Zelanda but Melvin choose that country so I will expose about Ireland. We could talk about the food, holidays, money, etc.

Some people dropped out the course, so now we are a little group.

After that, we listened an audio about failures. I couldn't understand at the first time, at the second either... but then I understood a little bit. When old people talk is difficult understand them. We talked with our classmates about the audio and then we told a general comment about it.

Then, we talked with the person next to us about the stop working of that day. I spoke with Nazareth, well we had a discussion actually because we started talking about the last elections and Fabrilovers, Paclovers... a polemic topic. I think that I never had spoken with a lot of fluently before.

At the final of the class, we planned the movie, the topic, and roles. We are going to do like a… suspense movie, with murders, detectives and everything. It is going to be fun!
