LESSON D UNIT 1 PAGE Story about my challenge When i was in high school. I remember, i was going to make an english spoken presentation, in front of all my classmate, the teacher said to dress up formal for the day of the presentation would help to get better marks, so, formal clothes was required. One day, a friend of mine, approaches to me and asked me if we could practice the english speaking so that the day of the presentation we weren´t so nervous, i accepted because i needed to practice, so, that day and the following day we practice very hard our speaking, because it really was very important. On the day of the presentation, i was less nervous, although i thought i would be more nervous, i was really surprise for the way i was feeling at that moment, however, i started my presentation very confident about me, because, having studied made feel very sure, and i ended up doing it very well and getting good marks. It was a big challenge for me, no exactly the day of the presentation but all those day i had to study, getting ready, and correcting my mistakes, those day made understand that feeling sure on whatever things you do,it has to do how well you prepare yourself before the time comes, i mean, the day when things is happening it just a reflect the things you have been doing or getting ready.

LESSON D UNIT 2 PAGE 19 WHAT ITEM DO YOU REPEATEDLY WEAR? I always like to wear denim jean sor gabardine jeans with t-shirt. I wear those quite often,for example, when i go to the school, to the park or even when i go to the park or to the church, i do not think it is because they are trendy, i think thar wear those kinds of clothes makes feel confortable, i feel good when i dress in t-shirt and gabardine jeans or instead of t-shirt i wear long leave t-shirt and i feel good. Unlike being at my room, i rather dress more light, like wearin as less clothes as posible. Being at home, i get used to stay naked, i mean, no t-shirt, barefoot and i wear just a small short.

How has your style changed over the past 5 years? Over the past 5 years, i think my style has not changed too much, for example, not long ago, i used to dress t-shirt with a lot of picture on it but now i do not like anymore.

PICTURE YOURSELF IN THREE YEARS IN THE FUTURE. WHAT WILL YOU BE WEARING? I see myself with the same style, i just can not imagine how the fahsion will evolve, but what i am sure about is that i have to get ideas from mes´s style magazine just to look cool. Although i always try not to take care of what other people says or think about may way of dress, but in the other hand i think is cool to look good.

LESSON 3 UNIT 3 PAGE 29 The power of wishes One of may favourite swedish proverbs is “ those who wish to sing always find a song”. It is often said when a person wants to achieve something or do something that is important form him or her. It means that when you want to get something, you find a way to get it, and no matter what it takes, as long as it makes you feel realised, you struggle to have it. A similar proverb in english is “when there is a will, there is a way”, i like this proverb because i think it´s true, and makes me realise if i have some whishes, i have to keep working on them, that best thing is yet to come, but only if you really work hard. If you do not do anything, nothing will come to you, that´s why wishes are important, but more importatn is the hard work.
