Various things

These are two of my closest friends:

Both are my summer friends. The guy on the right of the picture is from Galicia, and is called Javi, but everyone call him “Gallego”. He is a very interesting person with a lot of stories, and going out with him can be really good. He likes to party, as we can see in the picture.

The blonde guy on the right of the photo is one of my best friends. His name is Christian but every person who knows him call him “Tardy” (it’s his surname). He is a funny dude who likes almost the same things I like, that’s why we get along so well. He likes rap music, and he has written some hip-hop singles that are really awesome.

I have travelled to many different places like France, Great Britain, New York, etc, but the place I want to visit the most is California and its natural landscapes. I love to travel to places where nature is strongly present in all the country, and the landscapes of California has amazed me since I was a kid. . If I had enough money to travel somewhere, I would go there without any doubt, but I t is not the only place I’d like to visit; I am also very interested in travelling to Australia and New Zealand. They look like paradise with all the white-sand beaches and the exotic culture. 

Starting to write

Writing is essential for ourselves. I try to write as much as possible (even if it isn’t compulsory) just to express myself. It is a way to escape from the world, just as if we listen to music, read a book or do sports. However, when I have to write for any particular reason (university, formal letter, etc.), I tend to improve my writing style in order to give a good impression.

When I am starting to write, the first thing I do is to plan a pre-writing technique. I usually work with brainstorming because in my opinion, ideas come faster than in other technique. Once this step is done, I continue by writing the outline of my work. This step can be consider as the back bone of the text, because it reflects how it is going to be. And finally, I proceed to start writing the text.

It is not easy sometimes, either because the topic is complex, or because the words in your head don’t come out. That is why I also use different tools on the Internet to help me with my essay. Every time I’m writing, I need to have a translator tool (such as WordRefence, for word meaning doubts, or Linguee, for syntax and also meaning of English words).

By the time I finish the text, I revise the text for any grammatical or syntax mistakes, and if there’s any, I fix it. And when everything is in its place, it is ready to be published or handed in.
