Do you know Vanessa Villamizar?

Do you know Vanessa Villamizar?
Well, she studies with me in English for work.. She is from Venezuela, Maracaibo specifically. She is 19 years old and she study Graphic Design, just like me!

She loves reading, dancing, going out with her friends and hanging out with her family.. She likes junk food, the beach and traveling.. lovely.

But.. Sadly and REALLY, REALLY SADLY: she dislikes animals..

She hates soup, clowns, violence, racism, lies and people who think graphic design is just about cutting and pasting papers.

Talking about her goals, she told me that one of them is to graduate and and be a good professional, also she dreams to travel around the world, go to a real ballet and to a NFL game. She would love to be able to speak many languages.

That's why she thinks english is very important and beautiful. She learns it everyday listening to music, watching tv shows or movies and she tries to speak and improve herself and her english all the time.

So, i hope you all know Vanessa now.. here I posted a picture of Vanessa and her friend, Vero.

What's up? :D

        Hey hey, this is my english blog, I will be using it for my homeworks for level 7. It is for practice my listening, writing, speaking and reading.

You can call me Fran, I’m Francisco Prato, 19 years old (soon 20), I study Graphic Design at urbe.

I am an Animal Lover, part of the “Matar No Es Arte” crew!  Vegetarian and Oasis fan! (the band

I love food and cooking (you wish try my food ;D), I enjoy my time in the kitchen, it is my chilling time and better if I am with friends.

I had a dog, he was just awesome! His name was Moshe, This is a pic that I took him.

I think English is very important. What do I do to practice my English? well, I listen to music and watch TV in English. It’s a good exercise. I also chat on the internet and have friends in many countries. I use social networks like facebook and twitter to keep in touch with people around the world and make friends. I can write well, but I need to practice more. The most difficult for me is speaking. I want to practice in class and out of class, too. I hope I can make a lot of friends and practice my speaking.

So, welcome here! Feel free to post a comment! ;) cheers!
