ESSAY

What about Me?.. My name is Greta González Gutiérrez, I am from San Luis Potosí, S.L.P. .and I am twenty-two years old. Right now I am studying the third semester of the B.A. in E.L.T. at the Universidad Autonoma of Aguascalientes in Aguascalientes City. I moved up to this city with my parents and my brother three years ago but my relatives are in San Luis Potosí. There are many other things that you must know about me to make out who I am. In the next lines you will find out who the members of my family are, what my likes and dislikes are, what makes me laugh or cry, and a brief description of my future plans.

First of all I am going to talk about my family; my mother, my father and my brother. My mother´s name is Marina. She is 55 years old and she was an English teacher. Maybe that is the reason why I chose this B. A. She is very optimistic and she is the pillar of my life. My father’s name is Gustavo. He is 47 years old. He helps me whenever I needed and I know that I am his pampered girl. And the last member of my family is Gustavo; my brother. He is thirteen years old. He is studying the 2nd grade of secondary school. He does everything for me. My family loves me so much and they would die for me and I would do so.

Now let´s talk about my likes and dislikes related to food, weather, music and movies. I find irresistible Mexican, Italian, Japanese and Chinese food. My much loved deserts are ice-cream, chocolate and pie. Concerning to weather; I prefer cold weather than hot. However; I like so much beaches when going on vacation but I prefer rather a cold city to live in. Talking about music, I have to say that I enjoy all kinds. I can listen to a pop song or a heavy metal song. Although; the genres that I listen more are pop and norteño. Regarding movies; I like romantic comedy, horror, fantasy and action movies; therefore I enjoy any kind of movie. As you can see I am not very special when listening music or watching a movie.

The third point of which I´m going to talk about is: my future. My near future, which is from now up to August of 2010, is to conclude my fourth semester in the B.A. in E.L.T. to keep my record of zero subjects failed. On the other hand, I hope to obtain a scholarship and to get a job to help my parent with the bills. For my distant future, which is from August 2010 up to the year of 2013, I plan to work as a teacher in a prestigious university of Aguascalientes and to open my own English school. Also; I plan to be traveling out of this country. Those are the most important plans for my near and far future.

Now that you have read the upper lines, you should have a clearer idea of who I am and my way of thinking. I mentioned some of the most important aspects about me. These aspects were: my family, my likes and dislikes related to food, weather, music and movies, and my future plans. So that you have a draft of Greta González Gtz.

  1. Hello Greta:

    First of all I have to say that you wrote a very good essay.It`s well organized and according to your outline.

    Now I`m going to tell you some aspects that I consider you should know about your essay:

    *The introduction was good to start it with a question it catch the attention of the reader.
    *In the second paragraph I think that this sentence is better than your: Maybe for that reason I chose this B.A. and this phrase: whenever I need. I`d do too.
    In the second paragraph: I like too much the beach.
    The rest of the essay is good and your conclusion is good because it summarized all what you said in your essay.


    GOOD ESSAY GRETA

  2. Hi Gretty:
    I consider that your essay is good, you have a clear idea in each paragraph, according your outline, I agree with Andrea.

    The unique observation that I wanto to do at your essay, it is the use of contractions, according my experience in previous semesters, with the teacher Ana lucia and Wendy, when you write a formal paper the use of contarctions not it is correct.

    But in general congratulations, you as always, have an excellent handle of the language. Kisses¡¡¡¡=)
