POEM

When You Come

When you come to me, unbidden,
Beckoning me
To long-ago rooms,
Where memories lie.

Offering me, as to a child, an attic,
Gatherings of days too few.
Baubles of stolen kisses.
Trinkets of borrowed loves.
Trunks of secret words,

15th Birthday

On Saturday we celebrated my nephew 15th birthday.

My sister in law in I we decided to prepare a small party for him because him is the older nephew in London and was my first experience to organize  a 15th  birthday party as is not common do for boys.

In my country we normally celebrating the PINK PARTY as the 15th birthday for the girls that is very traditional in Ecuador and the rest of South America.

Actually I did enjoy helping my sister in law to prepare the party like to cook the food and decorate the house.

First we met with her in the bus stop close to her house after I left my son and my another nephew at Spanish school as every Saturday they study Spanish language  from 10 am until 3:30 pm. I take him at Spanish school because if one day we decide back to Ecuador he can speak properly even if  we are still living here it is very good for him therefore him have more opportunities. Anyway,I back to my topic,  when I met with her  I suggested to her to go shopping at the Walword  road because there are many options where we can buy the things for the party. The first place  were Poundlands, in it  we could find all the decoration.

Secondly  we went to the East market to buy meat , vegetables and fruits and so on.

 Then, after we finished shop we were surprise about how many bags we got, so I decided call my husband to help us with the bags because I remembered he was at home as well as my house is very closed to the East market.

PROFILE

My name is Elena Quinapanta ,I'm 34 years old,I was born on 11 of September of 1979, I came from Ambato-Ecuador, Ambato is small town in the Sierra as well as surrounded for mountains and the weather there is beautiful.I lived there until my nineteens. But now I'm living in London for couple years.  My favourite things to do are; go shopping sometime I going myself and other times with friends in  both ways I enjoy to much. Visit my family is other thing I like to do, more exactly I like to visit my brother and his family because is my only close family here and also his wife is my best friend, I met with her since we were  children. But really-really things I do is spend my time with my son and my husband On Sundays therefore in these day we are free.
The reason why I decided to come to London was:
The first thing was to learn another language since  I was study in the college I dreamed to learned to speak English furthermore it was primordial to  approve some levels for my career.I  though if  I come to London  it was more easy to learn but for many reasons I couldn't go to the English school due to I had to work to paid all my expenses.
I have four brothers and I. I have three brothers older than me and one youngest brother unfortunately I have no sisters. My childhood was nice, I learnt to play more boy games instead girl games. I'm very lucky as all my brothers look after me also I'm the preferred of my dad.
My heroes is Caltutas' Mother, she was a incredible woman, she helps the poorest  poor people around the world , she made a foundation  communicate commodore for people who doesn't have where eating and also orphanage for children.

So this is me I'm a simple woman but I'm a enthusiastic person that a like to learn  new things every day.

TELEVISION OR RADIO

     The both things are great.

 In my opinion each thing is useful, either are good for learning and know everything what happens  around the world.

In fact I listen to the radio  every day in my travels  when I am going to my job, also I use it when I doing my job because my  job is physical work all the time I need to move.
For me  I think  this is the best way to practice my listening and comprehension. In addition I can use it anywhere.

The television is good if you are in your house or places where you are allowed to  use this. To be honest I don't watch a lot television. Most  the times when we watch the television we decided to watch movies.
 For my is not good way to learn English because when I don't understand same thing just imagine what happen next.

keep healthy

Ok, there are many ways to keep a healthy life .

Firstly  you never skip  breakfast, it is the primordial food for you body whether if you jump the breakfast you don't have energy for the rest of the day, probable you feel tired also  you have headaches and at the end of the day you think your day was boring.
Other thing is try to eat your food on the right time  if you make this FOR SURE your body would be grateful.

Secondly you eating varied food also try to eat every day vegetables and more fruits .


Thirdly you drink a lot of water, is recommendable to drink at least 2 litres of water a day or 8 glasses of liquid a day ( milk, juice, water).

Other thing to do is make exercises it  is good for the body. You can do any exercises for example running for 15-20 minutes, make exercises for abdomen if you want to keep you shape and also  yoga, I think is not physical exercises but is good for you because if you do yoga you body is not stress in addition to  look more young. To be honest I never have  done yoga but if one day I have the opportunity   I would like to do it. As many people suggest me it is a good thing for keep  a healthy life.
Furthermore you need practice any sports for instance football, basket , tennis, cycle and so on.

Moreover is great not drink alcohol and smoke cigarette  if you do please  reduce it.

SKINNING PEPPERS

Well, the first thing you need to do is  slice a piece of  the top of the pepper  and remove the seeds and the white ribs from inside  the pepper clean as must as you can.

after clean, cut it in half lengthways and make the same again.

then put the peppers onto a grill, with the skin-side up and put into the oven make sure the oven is hot

leave these until the skin is blistered and blackened when you look like that it is ready

after that, you need a plastic bag, put the peppers into the bag sure to put the peppers in the bag while still very hot and seal the bag leave for about 5-10 minutes, or until the skin has loosened from the pepper flesh.

Once the pepper quarters are cool enough to handle,peel off the skins and discard.  That is all.
