ONE HUNDRED TWENTY DAYS IN 120 WORDS Readings for EFL Students ENJOYING THE BEAUTY OF NATURE Grammar Point: Verbs Followed by Infinitives Enjoying the beauty of nature doesn’t cost any money here in Otuzco. However, if you want to have flowers in a vase in your house in a big city like Lima, you have to pay for them . For example, one of my sisters─Maria─likes to have natural flowers in her apartment. She regularly buys flowers for her place. She also gives Mom flowers frequently─but Maria has to pay for them! In Otuzco, if you like to appreciate the beauty of nature, you only have to take a walk and see what is around you. If you need to decorate a place for an event, you can go to the outskirts of the town and pick flowers. There are always beautiful wild flowers here─at no cost! READ MORE HERE.

ONE HUNDRED TWENTY DAYS IN 120 WORDS Readings for EFL Students THE POWER OF GENEROSITY Grammar Point: Time Clauses There’s a group of volunteers that helps people from different lands that are in prison in Lima. They are very generous people. For example, when inmates need hard copies of educational materials in their languages, the volunteers generously print them. When they have free time, they make cookies for the inmates! Those foreigners love the whole group of volunteers for their generosity. As soon as some representatives of an Asian country in Peru learned about the hard work of these volunteer workers, they visited the volunteers’ branch in Peru and made a generous contribution. They even offered to teach the cooks at the branch how to make food from that Asian country! Today, I want to thank God for reminding me of the power of generosity. READ MORE HERE. Cargando…

ONE HUNDRED TWENTY DAYS IN 120 WORDS Readings for EFL Students ACROSS THE STREET Grammar Point: Prepositions of Place On weekends, I have breakfast right across from work. There are a couple of food stands that sell sandwiches and drinks in the street─for only S/. 1.00! I go to America’s, the stand which is on the left. It’s on Venezuela St., between Husares de Junin Ave. and Estados Unidos St.─in Trujillo. America, a very outgoing and hardworking woman, has many types of sandwiches and drinks. I love her tamal sandwiches! America always gives you some yapa, extra drink at no cost; so, you can have almost two glasses of the drink of your choice for S/. 1.00. Doctors, police officers, taxi drivers, teachers, students, and people who live in the area─including many friendly Venezuelans─have breakfast at America’s. I always look forward to those breakfasts.

ONE HUNDRED TWENTY DAYS IN 120 WORDS Readings for EFL Students MY CURRENT JOB Grammar Point: Present Continuous for the Extended Present These months, I’m working for a big language center in Trujillo. I’m teaching English there only on Saturdays and Sundays until I go back to Lima. This has changed my weekend routine. For example, since I live in a small town two hours away from Trujillo, I’m getting up at 5:15 a.m. on weekends and I’m taking two combis to be at work before 9:00. Also, I’m having breakfast and lunch in Trujillo on those two days. Although I’m not doing volunteer work on weekends now in the small town where I live─and I’m traveling a long distance to go to work, having this weekend job is a positive change. After a week full of activity volunteering, teaching English brings me some extra joy. READ MORE HERE. Cargando… Solicita información aquí.
