My first day having class with teacher Sylvia…

Love yourself before you can love someone else.

The day my firsts actual english classes began in the icesi university was the january 20 of 2020. I’ve never had english class in icesi before, well, not an actual sign up classes, I remember I participated in teacher’s Abril classes long time ago but I wasn’t actually in the list; but that’s a story for another day.

That day we were introduced on how our classes were going to be, what were the rules and the basics. The teacher gave us an activity, we had to write down a short text about whatever we wanted to write about, we could even write down “I don’t know what to write” but I had my own idea by the time the teacher said start. I remember my partner Natalia said she was hungry, so I immediately remembered what I had for lunch a few hours ago, so I decided to write about it, here it is:

I like vegetables when I take lunch at the university because I usually don’t have them at home, at least not in the same quantity that I can have here at icesi, today I had double vegetables portion on lunch, it cost me an extra 1600 pesos plus the usual 8000 pesos. To be honest they were too steamed, I love them more when they’re fresh and crunchy, specially carrots, green peas and green beans.
