Story of a story

I'm gonna to begin to tell a story, one that begins with how it's gonna be my end. I can't tell when it will happen, as anyone in this world can't either -and, as dar as ai can tell, no one really wants to know. 

What is gonna happen afterwards, that is the first scenario of my story, and it is as follows: Im gonna pay the jewish funeral services monthly fee, for me and for my family. 

Note 4 50 80 53

One grows older, excited all about what being an adult is, not even aware of what the cost is. And the price is high.

I recall moving all along, and not needing having second nature to be some body. 

As an adult, you need to put layer after layer just to survive. 

But childhood was completely different. 

Now, I'm determined to take back with me some of that lost paradise, based on movement. So, I'm gonna do as much exercise I can.

Nature, nature and extreme sports will be my new outfit.

Writing practice.

As always, writing about nothing special, it's just to practice writing.

As stated before, writing is an output skill that needs to be exercised in order to make it better. Now, it's also important to note that writing may impact the speaking performance as writing helps structuring the speech in the brain. 

(Right now I feel the urgent need of going and relieve myself in the bathroom XD)

Ok, so let's remember some things of today. I made some voice recordings. Practice also individual consonants and vowels sounds...

(coming back from the bathroom),

so I practice sounds. Quite good. Need to to that every single day. Also recording myself. On whatever topic I stumble upon. Improvisation is a obliterated skill. 

 Wow! I just realized I need to begin trusting a little bit more in myself. I'm quite smart, and usually I do a great job o whatever imposed onto my shoulders. But, for reasons beyond me, I keep unnecessary second-thoughts about everything.

Here I am again,  writing because I realized I've already focused enough my English practice on the two input skills: reading & listening. The other two skills, namely writing & speaking, are skills of output and, anyway, each skill needs its own field of techniques and practice. 

At the time, speaking is not going to be a skill for me to practice it in a daily basis, for reasons beyond this discussion. But I can definitely practice writing, and I feel it will help me a lot to bring up vocabulary and grammar, besides structuring my mind to express myself in English.

I'm coming back! 

I've been practicing English for a while. Actually, I've been working as a bilingual customer representative for three years! 

Even so, I feel I'm lacking some better performance, like a native speaker who is fluent and spontaneous when he/she speaks.

Not long ago, I took some time for vacation and realized some tips and tricks one can implement to speak English better. 

I'll share with you some of them shortly, but for now, I just want to say that this writing exercise is exactly what I want to do, as it helps me a lot to structure my mind linguistically. In other words: writing will help me to think faster when speaking, as the constant practice of writing will develop structure inside of me, therefore being more spontaneous and accurate. 

So here we go! We will have (hopefully) daily encounters! 

The Simple Life

 27-02-2022

My dear readers,

Once again, I fall into the hands of writing. This time, as I have always wanted it is just as an exercise of English writing skills. As you may know, there are four different skills in regards English language: 

• Reading
• Writing
• Listening to
• Speaking

Fortunately, I read every day in English. I also make a living as a bilingual customer representative for an offshore BPO. As for listening to, news, films, music, and many more are part of my daily life. However, I left writing for granted, and that was a mistake as long as writing helps to build English thought. Writing and Speaking are Output skills, but Reading and Listening are the opposite. 

In consequence, from now on I am determined to write every single night (make an exception on Shabbat) in order to exercise English thinking, English expression. Every time I come to write, all skills and knowledge will be at one single moment of truth. When having a difficult time expressing myself in English, pushing me over to find the correct answer will be a reinforcement and, you know, as long as it will repeat a lot (XD), proper English grammar and expressions will come at hand smoothly as time goes by. 

Of course, to do so I will write about my daily life, thought, opinions, and everything that comes to my mind that helps me out in regards to the English writing exercise. 

I titled today´s post "The Simple Life", and I picture it will be the other way around! (XD)

This is just a manifest. And I hope once we reach some point in the future, indeed my life will be as simple and meaningful as possible. 

For now, before we are good to go, simple is to say: I've got a job. That´s a lot considering the times we live in. I have plenty to feed my family. So, let´s take days as slow and smooth as possible. That's it. Most of the time, human beings die without fulfilling even 10 percent of their dreams... And I've dreamt a lot. 

Dreaming makes you feel (I don´t know why), dreams are true in some sense. Or that they can become true at some point. Ego, self-conscience. You name it. We will discover it in the future. The point is: enjoy the day, let everything flow away, give the most of you on everything. Make it as simple as possible.
