Today the class went by really fast because most of the time the student teacher gave us games and very dynamic activities about comparatives and superlatives. “META” was the only class we had, so I left early to travel and visit my family.

  Today the teacher checked my answers from a test we did about the present perfect and she told me they were good, but I have two errors. Today was my first tutoring session with her and she gave me tips to expand my vocabulary. She also recommended a YouTube channel for children or teenagers.

Today we had the whole class with Gerardo 🧑🏻‍🏫 because our teacher👩🏻‍🏫 left to check on a project she is collaborating on for the faculty🏫. Gerardo finished explaining the topic of "comparatives and superlatives" ☺️ which is now clearer to me, although I still have a few mistakes. I know that if I keep practicing, I will improve. ☺️🧑🏻‍🏫

  Tuesday, February 24, 2026 Today we were working on the topic of comparatives and superlatives, which is becoming a bit clearer to me, although I still have some doubts. As always, the teacher has us learn a new topic one day and reinforce it the next day. I hope we can review it better tomorrow. Even so, with the explanation she gave us today, the topic became somewhat more understandable. And this is how comparatives and superlatives are used: Comparatives They are used to compare two things ( more… than ). Short adjective: adjective + -er + than tall → taller than small → smaller than Example: Mexico is bigger than Peru. Long adjective (2+ syllables): more + adjective + than beautiful → more beautiful than Example: The west is more expensive than the north. Superlatives They are used to compare three or more things and say the most or the least (the most…). Short adjective: the + adjective + -est tall → the tallest small → the smallest Example:...

Today I took all my classes online 💻because our in-person classes were canceled due to the security situation in Mexico 🇲🇽 not being very good on Sunday 🥷Since I am not from Puebla, I couldn’t return to the city earlier, so at seven in the morning I took my first class, which was French, then I had Meta, taught by Gerardo, and finally MELE. After that class, I took my transportation 🚎to go back to Puebla city 🏙️everything was very calm, and I arrived home very quickly.😊

  Hi Julieta 🩷 I hope you’re doing great! 😊 Today I want to share a super simple and quick recipe that I love to make when I want something tasty without much effort. ☺️ Recipe: Quick ham and cheese quesadillas Ingredients: 🧀🫓🧈 2 tortillas (corn or flour) 2 slices of ham 2 slices of cheese (your choice) 1 teaspoon of butter or oil Steps: Heat a pan over medium heat and add the butter or oil. Place one tortilla in the pan. Put the ham and cheese on top. Cover with the other tortilla. Cook for about 2–3 minutes until the cheese melts and the tortilla is golden. Carefully flip it and cook the other side. Remove from the pan, cut into triangles, and enjoy! They’re delicious and perfect for a snack or a light dinner. If you make them, tell me how they turn out 😋 Hugs,  Xime 💕

  Today the whole class felt that the lesson went by very quickly because we had planned to celebrate our teacher Dalila’s birthday, 🥳which is today. However, we are studying the structures of the past participle, 📚which is mainly used to talk about experiences. 🧗🏻‍♀️ Unfortunately, the surprise was spoiled because the teacher gave an example about whether we have ever forgotten a birthday 🫠, and she asked us when her birthday was.😓 So we all answered that it was today, 🤭and we sang “Las Mañanitas”🥳 to her. It was not as special as we had planned, but we still celebrated and sang to her.🩷👩🏻‍🏫

  Today I stayed with some girls from my class who I get along with very well, and we stayed together to complete laboratory hours in the CAA 🖥️so we can improve our English level. 🤓Those activities are very nice, but the ones I liked the most were the audiobooks 🎧📖because by listening to the audio 🎤 and reading the text, 📙I could understand very well. 😊

Today was quite tiring and a little different from the other days because I started my tutoring sessions with Gerardo 🙋🏻‍♂️who explains the topics very well 🗣️For now we are going to review from Unit One of our book 📖Today we began with the topic of questions ❓❓ and we saw the difference between those that start with an auxiliary (closed questions) and those that start with a wh-word (open questions)  The wh-questions are used to ask for more information, 🔍while the ones that begin with an auxiliary are answered with short responses like “yes” or “no.”🤷🏻‍♀️ Honestly, the topic was very clear to me ☺️ I understood it very well 😌The teacher Dalila also joined the meeting. 👩🏻‍🏫🩷

Today we reviewed expressions such as “had to,” “have to,” and “didn’t have to.” 😶‍🌫️🤷🏻‍♀️ We also started studying verbs and their conjugations in the simple past and past participle. ✍🏻 The teacher made the class very dynamic because we held hands 👫🏻👩🏻‍🤝‍👩🏼and each student had to say a conjugation or mention a new verb. Then, the next classmate had to say the corresponding form. 🤗

Today has been a very pleasant day 🤗 I received some gifts 💐🎁 The first was a rose that the lady who sells food 🥪outside the university gave me, and the second was some candies 🍬that teacher Dalila, the service girl and a classmate gave us 🤭 It was very nice because they made us feel special 🩷 The class was also very nice, because we had to write on a sheet our happiest memories of some stage of our previous schools 🏫but anonymously, and then we had to identify whose memory it was 💭 After the last class, which is "MELÉ", I went to my hometown 🏔️with my family 👩🏻👵🏼👩🏽👦🏻whom I missed a lot, especially my mother. 👩🏻💓

Today we had our online class 💻 in Teams. It felt very fast because we worked one hour with the teacher and the other hour with the social service student. 📖 During the first hour, we did an activity in which we all had to join the same document 📑and write five questions ❓for our classmates. Then, we had to answer the questions that were written for us. 💭 In the second class ⏱️, the social service student 🙋🏻‍♂️explained the topic of “modals” After that, we did a brief exercise, and everything was very clear. 😊

Today the Meta class was easy, but at the same time we learned something we should already know: how to ask questions correctly using “do” Most of the class didn’t use that connector, so the teacher pointed it out to us 😅 After her observation, we corrected our mistakes and did it properly.😌 Time went by very fast. Later, we played Hangman 💀The teacher 👩🏻‍🏫divided the class into two teams, and we had to complete the words that appeared on the board. Both teams did well, but Team One was the winner. 🏆🥇

Today we had class with our teacher Dalila 🩷👩🏻‍🏫. We did an activity on our phones 📲using the topic of “modals”, but many classmates were not able to enter the game 🎮. Today I felt very bad because a few weeks ago we had a “Pearson” exam😔, and honestly, I found it difficult 🙁I remember that I might not have submitted it correctly, and today when the teacher gave us the results😖I didn’t do well. That really made me feel bad, and I don’t know what to do. Sometimes I feel like I’m never going to learn ☹️

Today the class was different because a new girl arrived who is going to teach🧍🏻‍♀️us only on Fridays🗓️. Honestly, she is very good at explaining and she does fun activities so that the topics are clear to us🤗. I wanted the classes to end quickly because I wanted to go home to be with my family, since this week was very difficult and I suppose next week will be even more difficult☹️. I have had some problems and I haven’t been able to concentrate 100%🤧. It has been very hard for me, but hopefully everything will be fine soon 🙁

Today, the class went by very fast 💨because we reviewed the homework 📄that we had been assigned. 📚 The homework consisted of reviewing all the topics we had seen during this unit in order to complete the activity. ✅ This review helped us understand the topics even better. Later, Ronaldo 🤷🏻‍♂️gave us another activity so that everything would be even clearer. 👍🏼 One recommendation that our teacher Dalila 🩷gave us was that if we still do not fully understand the topics, we can look for explanations on TikTok 📲or use the tools that the Faculty offers. 🔍📚I really liked this class. 📖✨

Today’s class was very short 🤏🏻 because the teacher let us leave early since they were giving tamales 🫔 at the university luckily my friends and I were able to get some. 🧍🏻‍♀️🧍🏻‍♀️🧍🏻‍♀️🤍 In class, we talked about what we will more or less see in Unit Three 📚and the teacher asked us what our favorite book is. She also left us homework: to do the activities on page 26 of the book, which is a review of all Unit Two📗, with the topics we have already studied, and to read a little from the new unit. 📘

Today in our Meta class, we only worked with the book 📚and did some activities on our phones, such as Guacamole 📲. The activities in the book were easy, but we had to pay close attention because the teacher played an audio and we had to complete the words in the book with what we heard in the audio. The class went by very fast, and I understood everything very well. For homework, 📄the teacher asked us to continue studying some conversations that we saw in our book. 📕📘☺️
