My English Learning Journey

  My Travels and Experiences Travelling has always been a way to learn and connect with new places. Even local trips in my region have given me the chance to describe landscapes, activities, and emotions in English. In one of my projects, I described a special tourist place, explaining its natural beauty, food, and the activities people can enjoy there. In this entry, I talk about how traveling allows me to observe nature, meet different people, and learn about culture. Writing about my travel experiences helped me practice past events, describe sensations, and give personal recommendations. These skills are very useful because they allow me to communicate stories and opinions in a clear and confident way. Travelling also motivates me to continue studying English, because it is a language that opens doors to communicate with people from different parts of the world.

  Crime and Punishment Crime and punishment is a topic that helped me expand my vocabulary and think about important social issues. Every day, news programs talk about different types of crimes and how justice systems respond to them. Through this topic, I learned words related to law, safety, responsibility, and justice. In this entry, I reflect on how societies try to reduce crime through prevention, education, and fair laws. Punishment is necessary when someone breaks the law, but it should always be fair and proportional. I also learned that many crimes can be prevented if communities work together and if young people have opportunities to study, work, and grow. Writing about crime and punishment helped me express my opinion, make comparisons, and use new vocabulary. It also made me think about how important it is to live in safe and organized communities.

  Critical Thinking and Media Literacy Critical thinking and media literacy are very important skills in today’s world, especially because we constantly consume information on social media, news websites, and digital platforms. In this entry, I reflect on the importance of thinking carefully before accepting any information as true. During my learning process, I have practiced identifying reliable sources, checking facts, and recognizing different opinions. Media literacy also means understanding how images, headlines, and messages can influence our behavior or beliefs. For example, many people share news without reading the complete article, which can spread false information. Learning about these topics has helped me become a more responsible digital citizen and a more conscious English learner. Now I try to analyze information, ask questions, and search for objective data before forming an opinion.

  My Hobbies and Interests Talking about my hobbies has made English learning much more enjoyable. I have many interests, but one of my biggest passions is soccer. I am a fan of Real Madrid, so I often watch their matches and comment on them with friends. I also enjoy exploring technology, especially topics related to programming and software development, because they are part of my professional training. Another hobby I practice is listening to music, which helps me relax after a long day. I also use music to improve my English pronunciation and vocabulary. By talking about my hobbies, I have learned how to use the present simple, express likes and dislikes, and describe activities I do in my free time. This topic has helped me connect English with things I truly enjoy .

    My Family and Daily Life During my English learning journey, one of the first topics I practiced was describing my family and daily routines. My daughter Ariana is the most important person in my life. She is 12 years old, studies in seventh grade, and loves skating and playing with her friends. Every day, we wake up early, have breakfast together, and talk about school and work. In the evenings, we like to watch movies or listen to music. Learning to describe my family has helped me gain confidence when talking about personal information. I have learned vocabulary about physical appearance, personality, routines, and hobbies. This topic has also helped me express emotions and describe moments that are special for us. Writing about my family in English feels meaningful because it connects my learning with my daily life.

  My Motivation to Learn English Why I Started Learning English Content: Learning English has been an important goal in my life. I decided to study this language because it helps me in my professional and personal growth. English opens doors to new opportunities, better jobs, and international communication. I also want to understand technology tools and educational resources that are mostly written in English. Every day I feel more motivated because I can see my progress. Even if I make mistakes, I continue practicing to improve my skills.
