I think that it’s very important that in English IV the teachers make the conversation a main topic, because if you want to learn a language it’s for use it in real life talking with other people and practicing it’s a very good way to start. I think that writing the blog is the other big topic of the class, and it’s very useful if we understand that it will help us to write better and fluently in this language.

To improve myself I have to learn a little more about grammar, because sometimes I don’t know the conjunctions or the verb times. I think that I need to practice my pronunciation too, especially with conversations, because sometimes in my mind the things sounds very well, but when I have to speak with someone I feel very nervous and I made mistakes or I didn't let the conversation to be fluent. Also I think that I need to learn more vocabulary, because sometimes I can’t say the things that I’m thinking because I don’t know how can I say it in english. To solve all these problems I think that I have to reviewed some books or exercise about grammar, try to speak a lot with other people and maybe watch american series or movies without subtitles to learn how they speak.

In my everyday life I didn't use the english too much, but learn english it’s very useful to me especially when I watch series or I listen music in this language. Sometimes I can even hear the series without see the TV and understand what the characters are talking about! 

A Story about Chocolate.

Today I’m going to talk about one of my favorite foods which are chocolate. Well, I know that we can’t consider the chocolate as a type of food such as meat, noodles or rice, but I want to tell the story of this spectacular delicacy.   

Is still unclear the origin of the chocolate, but is a fact that the first evidence of the use of the cocoa seed are in Mexico in the formative period (1900 BC – 900 BC). Anthropologists speculate that at the beginning the consumption of the cocoa seed was in a sort of beer, because it was a fermented beverage according to the remains found in the pots. Probably this beverage was use in rituals and ancient marriages.

Olmecs, Mayas, Mexicas and others Mesoamerican civilizations started to use it as a paste resulting of the cocoa seed seasoned with chile. These cultures thought that de cocoa seed was a gift from the gods to the first men, even the Mayas has a god of cocoa, war and merchants.

With the arrived of Cristobal Colón and Hernán Cortés to America the chocolate was taken to Europe and, as a result , to the rest of the world.

In our time are very different kinds of chocolate, white for example, and some of them are mixed with dulce de leche, almonds, etc. The “original” chocolate is the black chocolate (bitter chocolate) because is the result of the mixture of cocoa paste, cocoa butter and sugar.
