Day 14: A Rooster in the Street

ONE HUNDRED TWENTY DAYS IN 120 WORDS Readings for EFL Students A ROOSTER IN THE STREET Grammar Point: Quantifiers Small towns like Otuzco have a little crime. As a result, people here feel safe─to a certain extent. For example, when they go to a nearby store, some people leave the doors of their houses unlocked─sometimes opened. During harvest time, there isn’t any rain; so, a good number of people leave their produce in big sacks in front of their houses. They don’t worry so much about robbers because there aren’t many here. That’s why it is common to see a lot of chickens in the street, walking and eating what they can find on the roads. Even chickens feel safe here! Maybe, it is because there is always a brave rooster in the street to protect them from dogs and pigs! READ MORE HERE. Cargando… Solicita información aquí.

Day 13: "The Food Is on the Table"

ONE HUNDRED TWENTY DAYS IN 120 WORDS Readings for EFL Students “THE FOOD IS ON THE TABLE” Grammar Point: Reported Speech Ten days ago, a woman called me and gave me a message. She said that her son, whom I had met in my town months before, wanted to help me with accommodation in Trujillo for an important event I had to attend. Since the man couldn’t speak well because of a stroke, he asked his mother to give me the message. On my third evening with them, they were not at home. As soon as I entered their apartment after the event, I saw a piece of paper on the table. It had a message for me. They wrote that I could have coffee… that the food was on the table. It was not only about the food on the table but also their love and hospitality. READ MORE HERE. Cargando… Solicita información aquí.

Day 12: My Favorite Yearly Event

ONE HUNDRED TWENTY DAYS IN 120 WORDS Readings for EFL Students MY FAVORITE YEARLY EVENT Grammar Point: Simple Present Last weekend, I attended the 2018 JW Regional Convention , in Trujillo. This yearly public event lasts for 3 days. It takes place all over the world and the program is presented in many languages. Hundreds of volunteers get together and receive training and advice to be more efficient in the work they do. The program usually includes more than 50 talks, 100 videos, and interviews to experienced volunteers. I like this event because I always learn something new there. Also, I get to see my friends. We chat, tell stories, and share the snacks we bring for lunch during the breaks─and make new friends! I sometimes participate as a speaker and always help with the cleaning or the logistics. I want to thank God for my favorite yearly event. READ MORE HERE. Cargando…

Day 11: The Mototaxistas in Otuzco

ONE HUNDRED TWENTY DAYS IN 120 WORDS Readings for EFL Students THE MOTOTAXISTAS IN OTUZCO Grammar Point: Quantity Expressions Otuzco is a small town without a public transportation system. You can cross the whole town walking in less than 45 minutes. A lot of the people here just walk; but when they are in a hurry or are carrying heavy stuff, most of them take mototaxis. All of the mototaxistas in Otuzco charge S/. 2.00 for a ride─sometimes more, sometimes less. A lot of them know the people in the area because this is a small town; so, some of the mototaxistas here sometimes charge their neighbors and friends less for a ride. This helps my friends and me with the volunteer work that we do in Otuzco. None of us have a car or motorcycle, but some of us have generous friends that own mototaxis. READ MORE HERE.
