My experiences learning English.

I started studying English three years ago, when I was in third year, then I repeated the second level and I thought I never could learn. My first teacher was Jorge Carroza, he was a good teacher, but I could never connect with his class. That not means that he is a bad teacher, only that his method does not fit me. Since I repeated the second level of English until now, I must admit that I learned a lot, that's because now I enjoy learning another language, which did not happen before with my other teacher. This not only entertains me, also it is need for my professional development, because many articles are written in English, for to be updated it is need. When I repeated was because I could not understand anything about English, I couldn’t understand the grammar or pronunciations, but now I can read very well, I can speak a bit better and still is difficult for me to listen or to understand what others are saying. I know I am not a good student of English, but it is because before was difficult for me to learn, now that I have learned more and I like the English, I think I can be a better student. The easy to study English is that is easy to conjugate verbs, which simplifies the study, the difficult is that the grammar changes over the Castilian, but it is not anything of another world. In reality the culture English is not my favorite, I think that the commercial capacity is the most notable of them also the passion of them by the football into other things, but the lack of solidarity is a black point for them. Only I know two or three peoples speak English very well, though never I speak with them. As I said before, the English is need for my professional development that’s what makes it useful.

Desert cities are living on borrowed time, UN warns.

The people who living on the deserts regions are looking as the temperature is soaring, the rainfall drop and the available water diminishes, being the cities on US desert and Middle East the most affected. Another problem highlighted in the report is the salinisation of farmland and the glaciers declination on the mountainous regions. The foregoing are direct consequences of climate change.
