Sample Post 1

About me

My full name is María Belén Farías Gutiérrez but nobody calls me María Belén. I’m Belén, a single Chilean woman, I’m 35 years-old and I live in Santiago. I’m from Chile and I was born in the capital city, on a rainy day, on May 22nd 1979.
We’re a five-member family, my parents plus my brother, sister and I; and I'm the youngest because my sister Male and brother Felipe both are older than me. I also have a younger step-brother, Mauricio, who’s 18 and a younger half-sister, Mariajosé, who’s 6. My parents got divorced in 2004 and in the same year I left home and went travelling to Europe for a couple of months so I could visit some of my friends there.

I studied in the same school for twelve years and I’m still in contact with most of my classmates. After that, when I was 17, I worked sporadically and studied English for a year because I didn’t know what to study as a career; but I finally decided I wanted to be a translator. I graduated as a translator in 2001 and then studied Pedagogía en Inglés so I became an English teacher in 2005. Also, since the same year, I've been teaching Spanish to foreigners. I've also been working as a tour guide and with my boyfriend, we have now our own tour business called Puelmapu Turismo Sustentable.

I really like music and sports. I play capoeira, practice yoga, trekking and rock climbing but I can’t go climbing as often as I’d like to. I love dancing too and I don’t mind trying to learn new rhythms. I enjoy singing and I try to learn new songs in different languages.

Welcome back to English!

Dear Class,

This is where you can always find the instructions to write in your blogs. Remember this is part of your learning process and you'll post every other Tuesday.

It's very important that you forget about google translator, please use online dicitonaries like www.wordreference.com or www.linguee.es

Best,

Belén
