Sample post

Hi, everyone. It's me again and today I'm going to talk about why I chose to study English. When I was a child I lived in England and the United States, so I learned English very early. I also read a lot of books and I wanted to become a writer. When I returned to Chile I also started reading and writing in Spanish. I liked it very much. So when I applied for the university I was thinking of following a degree in languages or education. I thought about studying Spanish or French, but in the end I decided to study English because I felt it was more exciting and fulfilling to work in a foreign language. I also wanted to follow a doctorate in another country, so English was a better choice. Currently I work as an English teacher and I'm quite happy helping people to master a new tongue, which can be quite difficult. I'd like to keep writing and teaching English Literature in the future.

SAMPLE POST






Hi, my name is Rodrigo Suárez and I'm your English teacher in charge of this blog. Let me tell you somethings about myself. I was born on July 6th, 1971 in Santiago. Early on, my family left Chile to live abroad. I spent my elementary school years in Germany, England and the United States. I completed my high school here in Chile. I went to The English Institute and Colegio del Alba. My parents separated in 1987 so I lived with my mom and my brother Fernando in Providencia until I left home to live by myself. I have worked as an English teacher for many years, most of them at Instituto Chileno-Norteamericano. What about hobbies? Well, I love reading and playing the guitar. Right now, I'm taking classes with a friend who is a guitar master. I also like to write poetry and short stories. I might publish a book soon. One of my favorite activities is to go to a café and drink coffee while I talk with friends about books, movies or politics. See you!!
