Which country I would like to go to? That's a hard question. I've been in Europe and I totally love it, my favourite city in the world is London, but well, I haven't been everywhere, so I might be wrong.  If I think about food (the most important thing in life, obviously) India sounds perfect...

Hi, my name is Gracia Barros and I'm 21 years old. I am a 3rd year Chemistry student. This is the first English class I'm taking in the university, so I haven't really practiced the language (or at least my writing skills) lately. What I think are my weaknesses in English must be my vocabulary, I feel like I have troubles when I try to speak, I mix up some words and get nervous, so I´m not confident enough to speak relaxed in public.  My strengths might be that I have a understandable accent, I have lived with a lot of foreign people, and the only way to communicate with them has been speaking in English, even though they are from countries like China, France, Germany, and others.   My expectations for this class are to practice speaking English in public enough so I get the confidence to speak freely when I travel or meet people in the future.
