My family

My family is the greatest thing I have. We are four members: Irma (mom), David (dad), Melissa (sister) and me. We also have a dog named Diego.

As every family we sometimes have fights but we always know how to solve a problem and stay together.

At dinner, we always talk about our day, friends, problems, plans, ideas, etc... we are always laughing.

Every member is really important. My mom is the person  who is always careful and hoping for the future. My dad is usually making a joke of everything. My sister is the laziest person and she is always sleeping. She is 19th years old and she is studying her 3rd semester of marketing at TecMilenio University.

My family and me love to have breakfast out of my house on Sundays and then we usually go to my grandparents house.

Paseo Tec

Paseo Tec is a little mall where you can find many stores, restaurants and places to have fun.


I really like to go to Paseo tec because you can have breakfast or dinner and meet people. You can go with your family and have breakfast at Delicias, a delicious cake shop, or you can also go with your friends and have dinner at Costeñito which is a very good restaurant of sea food.

There are many other things you can do at Paseo tec, for example there is a gym, an hotel and some banks, and also you can get your passport, pay services, buy clothes, get an ice cream, etc.

A month ago, Paseo Tec 2 which is a second part of the mall, was opened. There are many new restaurants, shops, beauty salon, veterinary, bowling and more.

I usually go to Paseo Tec because is 4 minutes near my house and there are many things you can do.

Mexican Tradition

.

Día de  Muertos is an important Mexican holiday  for catholics. It is celebrated in November 1st and 2nd.  The holiday focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died.

Specifics of the celebration vary with region, but something in common is that these days people  build private altars with many things called ofrendas, honoring the deceased. Some ''ofrendas'' are  sugar skulls, marigolds,  the favorite foods and beverages of the departed and they also leave possessions of the deceased.

My favorite place

Real de Catorce is a magical little town ubicated at San Luis Potosí, México. In this awesome place you can forget about all your problems, technology, the city and its noises, job, school, ... everything.

If you want to enter to this beautiful little town , you need to pass through a tunnel for almost 10 minutes on car or 30 minutes walking. 

I love to go to this little town because there's so much culture and histories about the people who lives here.  You can go on a bus trip, go to the park, walk on the stone streets, meet awesome people, buy many traditional handicrafts of this region, eat delicious traditional food, etc.

The greatest place on Real de Catorce is the principal church. There is a big room replete of many drawings. Every single draw has an unbelievable story about people who have a problem and God help them, for example health problems. I think there are more than a thousand draws. 

If I should choose a place to live all my life, it  will  be Real de Catorce.

Introduction Letter

Dear Mrs. Chalmers:

My name is Sofía Silva Salazar and I am from Monterrey, México. My degree is in Accounting and I also want to study Business Administration.   As you have been a kind teacher to me, I should get in touch to introduce myself.

In my role as student at TecMilenio University, I did my social service at a primary school where I learned to deal with adults, teachers and children. In my social service I worked as an accountant in the cafe. I received money from the students and wrote all that information on a piece of paper that I used to give to the director at the end of the day. I was in charge of doing the bookkeeping.  I really enjoy doing math problems and work with numbers, that is the reason why I am studying accountant. 

I hope to learn a lot in this curse and I hope we will able to have a good partnership as teacher and student.

Yours sincerely

Sofía Silva
