ExTra ExPErIeNce
I have worked for Aeromexico Coompany, and it has been a perfect oportunity to practice my english, becuase my work, consist in helping people at the airport, so I talk a lot with foreigners.
I practice a lot, because almost all the time people are in a hurry so they talk very fast and you have to understand.
I'm also studying at Cenlex, almost finishing because I'm at Advanced 4 and the highest level is Advanced 5.

Linguistic Diary
My English history
Since kinder garden I had had English classes in school. I was in a school called Ovalle Monday, which is a bilingual school, it is also different to other schools because there, we make an extra scholar year called first of English, and during all the elementary school, we have different assignatures in English like spelling, science, social studies, reading comprehention and grammar. I learn how to write things and to understand because we practice with tapes and we also made activities like plays and things like that. When I passed to high school I went to Cristobal colon where I continue learning and in second year, we made the first certificate which I fortunately passed.
My linguistic experiences
I have practiced my English with people from the United States, but here in Mexico. In my church some years ago we went each summer to some trips, and Americans were part of our team. I noticed that I get nervous when talking with someone that I know speaks perfect tht language, but I felt well, I understood almost everything.
Also I have another American friend that is living here and with him, I practiced even more because I was like his translater. I feel more confident with him, maybe because he is only a few years older than me and because he knew how to talk to me to understand him. I’ve never been in another country, so I don’t have practiced an experience like that.

Final project.
Hello, good morning my name is Janette Andrade, I’m from Mexico City and I work for Sanborns Company, I’m a weekend sales representative.
My company is very popular all around the country; because it’s a restaurant and also it has a store where you can find the things you’re looking for. There’s a manager of the restaurant, and another one for the store, and also each department has its own boss. Sanborns is in the catering and selling business.
As I said before, that the store has different departments; it has the toys and candies department, the drugstore, the telecommunications department, the books, and the men’s department. But the company has also another department that is only for hiring new employees, there they select the people that can work in the company, and realize some interviews and exams.
I work in the candies and toys department, but I’m only there at weekends. I have to organize the toys in their places, and serve the chocolates; I can’t receive the money. We start work at 2 o’clock pm and we finish it at 10 o’clock pm. We don’t have lunch at a specific time, we have lunch break at any time, but you only can take 45 minutes. This work is only at weekends so we don’t have holidays, just important days are free.
Sometimes it’s a little bit difficult for me the work, because I go to school in the morning, so on Friday, I wake up at 5:30 am and take a shower, then at6 o’clock after I get dressed, I take a glass of milk and get out to school. I arrive to school at 7 am and take classes, then I return to my house at 1:15 pm more or less and change my clothes, if I have time, I eat something, and walk to my work, I arrive there at 2 o’clock and I start working, I usually take lunch break at 6 o’clock pm. At 10 o’clock pm my brother picks me up and I arrive to my house very tired. I like very much my work, I like being in that department and I also like very much working with my boss, and my partners. I don’t like the manager of the store because he feels better than others and I neither like working with that schedule, because I thing I loose al my day. The obligations that I like are to attend people and to serve the candies, and the ones that I hate are cleaning the display cabinets.
Thank you for your attention. Good bye.
