Writing sample of an informal letter by Elizabeth

Dear Yolanda,

How are you? Thanks for your letter.

According to your question  'What new am I learning?´

I want to tell you that few months ago I started to take swimming classes, I go twice a week in the mornings for an hour. The class is really interesting, we practice different  styles such as butterfly , back swimming style, but my favorite style is breast swimming.

But at the moment we're practising more the back swimming style for a local competition.

I am really excited, because I'm going to participate.

I would like you could visit me soon.

I hope you and your family are well.

Love,

Elizabeth

A DEATH IN SUMMER (Writing)

                                          

A DEATH IN SUMMER is a book  written by Benjamin Black. Well, it talks about  Richard Jewell's dead who was a newspaper magnate. He was found dead in his office with a shotgun in his hands. But the mystery here is if he commited suicide or  if  he was murdered. Hackett is an inspector who helps to investigate the real facts. Mr. Jewell best known as Diamond Dick was a wealthy man and he was a greedy person, because he was a proprietor of a highly successful newspaper Daily Clarion, the city's top- selling paper. 
If you like reading that kind of books about action, investigation and mystery A death in summer is a good option for you.
In my opinion, is a good book, is a detailed and interesting book. Let's say that Mr. Jewell commited suicide, my question is  Why? As I metioned he was a rich man. I suppose, he was a happy man, because he had what he want, success and money. But, envy is alert that is why enemies did not like your success in life.
Envy is not a good feeling because you only poison yourself. You spend your time and energy thinking about what happen with other person and you do not work in your own life, because you are worried  about people.
In my view,this book shows that it does not matter if you have all the gold of the world that is not give you happiness, also success; you can be the best person in your occupation whatever if you are the boss or not, the point is, you feel bad, incomplete and empty.

Try to read this book I recommend it to you.

My autobiography

 Autobiography of Elizabeth Márquez Pérez.

I was born on July 8th, 1985 in Tlalnepantla, Mexico. 

I grew up in Huehuetoca, Mexico with my siblings Jesus Alberto Márquez Pérez and Araceli Márquez Pérez,my parents Clara Pérez Gonzáleza and Bruno Jesus Márquez García.

I went to the kindergarden when I was 5 years old. In 1991 I entered to the elementary school "Dr.Gustavo Baz Prada" in Huehuetoca.

Two years later my parents decided to move to Cuautitlan Izcalli because of my father's job. We lived only 1 year there and I went to the elementary school "Fidel Velázquez".

We came back to Huehuetoca when my  paternal grandmother died, I finished elementary school in 1996.

I went to the secundary school in Coyotepec for three years, there I belonged to the ortography group and marching band. 

Three years later in 2000 I entered in CECyTEM Cuautitlan Izcalli, I studied accounting for three years. I graduated when I was 18 years old, unfortunately I was not accepted at university, so I decide to work, I worked for 4 years.

In 2005 when my sister Araceli died I was depressed, it was difficult to get over for me.

in this year I entered to the university in Tula, Hidalgo my major was Accounting but I left it, because I didn't like it even though I had studied that area, but actually I hate mathematics. I was working in a mini-supermarket and I decided to study a English course at UNAM FES- Cuautitlan,I met Andres in a group of church, four years later in 2010 I got married with him. We lived in Coyotepec for two years.

What is real love for me?

What is true love for you?

It's a difficult question, isn't it?  True love. What is it?

I'm not sure to have the answer. First who can descibe what is love? I think nobody because it is undescribable. Love is showed by actions, good actions. Love is to accept, and I'm not talking about another person,no, what I mean is that you must accept to yourself, love yourself, to forgive to yourself, to take care of yourself talking about healthy, physically,mentally and spiritually. All that you have in your inner is that you are going to share with people who are around to you. If you don't know how to love yourself  will be hard-pressed to love another person, it's as simple as that, it is not really complicated.

That is true love for me to accept, to forgive, it doesn't matter how many times you have to do it, it doesn't matter how serious errors or mistakes you have made, love is love is pure,transparent,sincere, true, is unconditional in the Bible says that love is compassionate and helpful, that love bears all, forgives all; love is not selfish, it is not proud, it is not pleased with the person's suffering.

I agree with all that has written in the Bible, but is really difficult to practice.

My favorite picture

I don't have a favorite artist,but there is a picture that I like so much chich was painted by Michelangelo Buonarroti a brilliant  Italian Renaissance artist around 1511 year on the ceiling of  the  Vatican's Sistine  Chapel, its name: Creation of Adam based on Genesis, the first book of the Bible, which includes the story of creation of the world.

It is interesting for me because that picture shows the divinity and the humanity.
We can appreciate God does not touch Adam, some people say that God huges a woman who is Eva and maybe Gos is creating to send with Adam, also that picture has been studied because the shape where God is flying is a  human brain.

That's why is interesting for me that picture even though  I am not a loyal supporter of Michelangelo.

The Rise of the bicycle

Do you know that bicycle was created in 1800s?
Well in 1885 British engineers created a bicycle, it was an exclent invention because people in those time could ride their bicycle and to go large distance, kilometres and kilometres, all the people loved that invention, but guess what? Bicycle brought changes in the way of women's dressed, because they used to wear skirts or dresses really long, so it was uncomfortable for them to drive a bicycle it was necessary to wear a kind of pants as men used to wear, this change was a social scandal.
After this invention, some important people like Ford, created automobil, more practice than bicycle.
Times changes and nowadays we have motorcycle you don't need to make an effort only to go to the gasstation.

That is a brief story about bicycle.
