I arrived home so happy that I couldn’t do anything but smiling all the time. That made my father asked me “Hey, honey why are you so happy this afternoon?” and I answered “Dad!! Something marvellous has happened to me!!! My English teacher has told in class that my English is as good as a native one!!! Don’t you think this is wonderful!!!”
And my father told me “But that’s impossible sugar, how can this be true?? Alegra, you know this is unreal because your English isn’t good, that’s why you are learning it!!! So I can’t understand this!! What have you done?”
I said “Well, I wrote a letter perfectly, but I used the dictionary to improve my writing and that’s why I supposed she said my text was perfect!. Well, Dad I have to go out, I have to meet my friend “Fun”, we’re going to a party!!! Don’t you think this is a perfect day? See you later!!!” And while I was explaining this to my father, I realised that something at his face had changed, he got very angry and said to me “No way!! Alegra you know that isn't fair, so I want you to tell them the truth, but Alegra how can you be so happy if you know that you haven’t been honest!!! ALEGRA YOU WON’T GET OUT TILL YOU ASK FOR FORGIVENESS TO YOUR ENGLISH CLASSROOM!!!
So that’s what has happened to me and now here I am in my room writing this letter:
“ Dear english classroom,
Mum always tell us that we always have to be honest with ourselves so I think I have to tell you something, don’t get me wrong, but my introducing text was perfect because I used the dictionary while I was writing it, so I’m not as clever as it’s seems.
Writing English is easier to me than speaking it, because I have more time to think if what I have written is ok or not. When I try to speak English all the words come to my head at the same time, but I’m not able to say them correctly. I know what I want to say, and I know the words but I get nervous and I make mistakes all the time.
Unless you don’t want me to stay in your class because of my fault, I would like to learn english with you, enjoying time with this blogs!!!.
So I hope see you next class!!!
Alegra”
“Dad, I have made my punishment, so now Can I go out with “Fun” to the party?, Dad? Dad?.....

Hi Alegra! I still don´t understand why you have to regret about your behaviour. Just for taking a look at the dictionary???. Well, I just can say that if you don´t have a good writing style, no matter if you look or not to the dictionary, your English style will continue being bad. I mean, your English writing style is quite good (I really envy your fluency) and I think there is nothing bad on looking for some words at the dictionary (in fact, most of us do the same and I think IT IS something that will increase your vocabulary). So you don´t have ask for forgiveness, because there is nothing to forgive from my point of view. Just continue delighting us with your fresh posts.
Yes!!!
Il-comentatore is right! Why do you regret? I enjoyed myself a lot with your words. I was delighted at the fact that you had looked at the dictionary and your English was almost perfect. Go on! Do it every time! That's the way!!!
This time you were more spontaneous, but I want you to learn, to understand from your own mistakes.
I want you to look at your text and improve it before I, myself, give you my own comments on the language.
Allow me that because I know you can do better!
Have a look and let me know what you would change, change it (there are quite a few mistakes!!) and I'll get back to you pretty soon.
Enjoy!
we all do it...what would it be of the oficial documents if people didn't use the diccionaris? xD
You are so energetic and happy all the time that I'll have to join you in class to see if I find out your secret. Just look at the pink background color in the style on your blog!! it's so alive...
Did you improve the text as I suggested before you begged for a new correction? I didn't see the corrections...
Here are some more...
-English (ALWAYS WITH A CAPITAL LETTER... NOUN OR ADJECTIVE)
-Don’t you think this is genial(??) (LOOK UP THE WORD GENIAL IN THE DICTIONARY. I DON'T THINK YOU WANT TO SAY THAT)
-how can this be truth. (TRUTH IS A NOUN, YOU NEED THE ADJECTIVE)
-What have you done TO MAKE your teacher SAY that?.”
-but I used the dictionary in order to look for adjectives’s synonymous (I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU MEAN.THINK ABOUT THE SENTENCE AND REWRITE IT)
-I realised that something ON his face had changed
-you hasn’t been honest!!!(YOU SHOULD KNOW WHAT'S WRONG HERE!!)
-ASK YOUR ENGLISH CLASSROOM (ADD "FOR")FORGIVENESS!!!
STILL SOME PROBLEMS TO WHAT i SUGGESTED IN MY CORRECTIONS. PLEASE, CHECK!
Sure!
We have to look at the dictionary and more, because is a way to improve our english.
Other thing will be copy a text done by other person: that will be really deshonest!
Well, I wanted to write a comment to you, but Il-Kommentatore has written exactly what I wanted to say.
I believe nobody's is thinking about throwing you out of the class because you have looked some words up in the dictionary!!
Bye!
Hi everybody! С новым годом и Рождеством!
That means Happy New Year and Happy Christmas, yes, Christmas after New Year. In Russia, because of orthodox religion, Christmas day is on January 6th. Hey, that's another clue about my identity!!!. Il Kommentatore knows something about Russian (or knows someone who knows something about Russian).
I’ve been really busy during these last days and I've been disconnected from the blog activity so I haven't had the opportunity to wish you the best for the New Year. That's all by now.
Желаю вам счастья (I wish you happiness).
Hey you! What’s happening with the blogs? I though this experience was about writing, because we need to improve our writing style, because we will have to demonstrate our writing level at the 5th level final exam. What do I have to do to encourage you??? Il-Kommentatore need posts to make comments. What are you waiting for? C’Mon.
