Welcome to the jungle!

Welcome to English C1. My name is Julio Huizar and I will be teaching you English throughout the semester. First things, first. I would like to know YOU. Please comment on this post about the things you love or the things you don't like that much. I am going to start.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    

I love music, and the visual arts. Especially, painting. I enjoy running so much.

I am fond of animals but I don’t have any pets. Going places is another thing I love to do.

My favorite city is New York. I don’t have children at this moment, but I would like to have

two eventually. I also love watching movies. My favorite director is Martin Scorsese.

There are also some things that I don’t really like. For instance traffic.

I don’t like public transport either. What about you?

After you comment, make sure you read your partners comments and comment on them.
