2. MY
PSYCHOLOGY
LECTURE
One day I went to one lecture room for my psychology lecture. No one was
there, so I waited there for a while. I thought to myself that I am
early, therefore I waited on the bench outside the room. Then I went and
bought chips bag, and even when I was done no one came there. Now I was
about to get stressed out. I sent messages to my friend and realized that I
was outside the wrong room. I was on first floor in a total different section
and in 5 minutes my lecture was going to start, but I made it on time for the
lecture.

3. IN THE
BEACH
I went to the beach two years ago with my
family. I had so much fun, I ate seafood and
danced, but I had a hard time when I was
walking and stepped on a glass.This was very
painful. I haven´t had this lucky. So I couldn´t
get out in the night and swim in all the day. I
stayed in the hotel room watching TV until the
next day when we came to home. It was very
boring. I couldn´t walk for a week.

4. I WAS AT A PARTY
I was at a party one night and I saw this really
attractive boy looking my way so I decided to go over
and talk to him. After a few minutes of what I was
thinking was mutual flirting he said: So, is your friend
single?
Apparently he wasn’t looking at me, but my best friend
instead and they have now been together for three
months. I have gone with them to other parties and I
was so embarassed but I haven´t said to my friend
about it.

5. WHEN MY DAD DIED
When I was eleven years old my dad died in amid an
assault, the policemen didn´t help him. Then I went to
live in Ambato with my mother, I haven´t met to my
uncles and cousins. The city was different to Machala
because Ambato is more safe and quiet than Machala,
but I couldn´t with the weather. But I was trying to
adapt. So I lived a good life with my family.

6. I went to Guayaquil for Christmas holidays with my
family. I saw unknown places for me, also I was
impressing with a big christmas tree. I have taken
photos of the Christmas ornaments and events. We got
so much memories in the Christmas dinner in the house
of my aunt. I stayed here until the new year celebration
where I could see to all the family members. I came
home so satisfied and happy.

7. MY BIRTHDAY
I celebrated my birthday in Machala.
Nobody said me nothing for my birthday
early. I was feeling so bad for this, so in
the night I went out to the bakery for
bread. When I returned to home the
lights were off, I felt so scared, but
really my family had a surprise for me.
They gave me a cake and a bear, this day I
was happy, really I didn´t think about a
birthday party. I haven´t had a surprise
like this.

8. I WENT TO AN
OBSERVATION
I went to an observation tour to the
Ecuadorian coast, was a quiet and nice place.
We wanted know about the traditions of this
place, so went to Balao for two days, We could
take the fruits of the ranch, also cooked the
lunch and the dinner. Then we swan in the
river and made a bonfire. I have had a lot of
fun in this tour. Even we were doing barbecue.
It was a nice experience for me.

9. VOLCANIC EXPERIENCE
I have had a volcanic experience. Six years
ago I went to Baños for a weekend. I was
enjoying of the swimming pools, food,
extreme sports and more, but when the
"Tungurahua" explored in front of me was
really interesting and scary. I was swimming
when the policemen and rescuers took me to
the refuge. We couldn´t get out of the
refuge because it was very dangerous. So I
slept on a mattress in the refuge. It was
very exciting and weird.
