Hello and welcome to my blog students, this is your homework to have fun during your weekend:
Write a short description of an important event or person in your life when you were growing up. Use some of the phrasal verbs from this unit, as appropiate. Ex:
When I was ten years old, we moved to a new town. On my first day at the new school I met Jackie. She was the first person who talked to me. From that day on we got along well. We both liked watching movies. We looked forward to meeting after school to hang out in Jackie's house and on weekends to see new movies. We would spend hours making up stories and talking about how one day we'd make our own movies from these stories.
We both joined the theater club at school. One time, we had parts in a play where our characters had a long conversation. On opening night, I completely froze. I forgot my lines and thought I was going to faint. Jackie realized what was happening and quickly figured out what to do. She kept talking and made up new lines to keep the conversation going. All I had to do was stand there and say either "Yes" or " No". After that day, I knew that I would always be able to count on her.

One of the most important days in my life was my 15th birthday. I dreamed celebrate this day with a party but not a big party. I wanted a special party where all people who loves me could go.
In January of 2005 I talked with my parents about that. They always tried to bring me up carefully and properly. They gave me the best education that they could. I look up them because they’re really good human people. I learned of them with their life example and I love them of course! I know always I count on them.
My parents said to me: “Naty, you’ll have your birthday’s party, but as you know it won’t be a big party” I answered “I know that, but I just want to be surrounded by people important for me, as my family and my real friends”- “Perfect! We started to organize everything” – my mother said- and I felt very happy and nervous.
When the school started I invited some of my friends to be my “ladies” and I asked some of my neighborhood friends to be my “pages”(my friends picked on me sometimes. That’s their style but not problem for that. I love them). I needed 14 of each one! It was a hard work but at the end I got it. We practiced a special dancing that was great but I had a surprise for people in my birthday! I had my page too! But nobody knew about that until the party’s day.
The time pass fast and the April 30th was an exciting and wonderful day. I was born on May 1st so I received my birthday in my special party. I thought over about that for several months and finally it was a reality. That Saturday I figure my parents out I knew that they always take care me and their love is unconditional.

All my childhood I had problems with the form that my parents brought up my brother and me.
at the school my brother always had good scores, and awards, and my parents had always wanted that I looked up to him, these things made me to think and feel I didn't want to be like him,but with the time, my family wasn't the only one who picked on me for my behaviour and be like my broter, my teachers always in class compared me with my brother, and It obviously annoyed me so much, so I couldn't put up with it and I took a decisión.
I decided to talk with my brother about how I felt when people gave me to figuring out that I was less than him. After that day I began to feel much better, because I had expressed my feelings and decided to show that maybe I wasn't like my brother but I was a good person too, polite, intelligent, smart, and cheerful. Now I have a good relationship with my parents and I now know that I can count on with my brother, because I love him.

The most important people in my life are my parents, since my birth I've always had the unconditional support of them. My parent to bring up me was of the one form strict, but the love that they have me always been incomparable.
Sometimes they bother because didn't do them case but even so I could count on unconditionally with them.
Now I think over about all the times that I lived with them and without hesitation I can assure you that my parents are the most important people in my life, well my brother too. :)
Every year all my family celebrates the my grandfather's birthday with a big meeting where all members of my family arrive to my house. I look up to him because he's a wonderful person who takes care to all people who needs to him. He always bring me up to respect others and to believe in myself. He's a great person. When I was 10 years old, I was looking forward to the my grandfather's birthday. All my cousin arrived in my house. They always picked on me . They didn't stop until they got away with, is to say that I'm angry. One of them broke the my grandmother's vase and they to be saved made up a lie where I broke it. My grandfather tought it over and he figured me out. He knew who was lying for that reason I know I can always count on him.

I remember that:
When I was four years old my grandfather came to the window and told me "my son" so I recalled "I am not your son" that pick on me so much, I was a child and I think that he told me that because he was thinking that he was my father,one day my grandfather became sick, he went to the hospital and never returned because he died.
I cried a lot when he died, it marked my life, I look up to he because he writed really beautifull.

when I was ten years old, my cousin and I studied together in the elementary school, and each time I did mischief, I could count on her and she could count on me, and once a friend began to pick on her and she began to cry, I got very angry with my friend and I said I won´t give your backpack until you apologize to my cousin, but he wouldn't apologize and then he started pulling his backpack with me and the pack was broken I did not know what to do with the backpack broken, but finally had to tell the whole truth to my teacher.
When I was a child, every sunday My father and me were going to the field in Batan Grande to hunt birds with my father's gun.
My father taught me to shoot with the weapon.
When I was a child , I looked up to my father because he was my hero.
Now I think that this stage of my life was very important, because I learned to value the love of my parents and the importance of the presence of a father for the life of a child.....

I use practice sports like athletics and gymnastics since i was a child, i had always been looking forward to being a world champion, but one day i get mad with my Gymnastic teacher,and although i thought over about left the gymnastics team, i finally did it, so the only team that i stay was athletics, in that team i looked up to the older athletes, but i could never reach their level, and that put me off a little bit each day of training, but my trainer always counted on me to become a very good athlete, however i was losing the interest day by day, at the end i left that team too, and now i regret

I beleive that the most important part of my life was my childhood and the way I was brought up, because that was the beggining to become in the kind of preson I an now.
The one thing that I remember the most from my childhood is that I wasn't the typical girl that look up to her older sister, she was a good student, she always kept her room clean and she had a schedule to do her homework and that kind of stuff; me on the contrary... well to resume I'll say I don't remember the classes from my primary education, but is not like I didn't learned anything, I believe that I just wasn't the type of child that payes a lot of attention. I also remember I was always making up stories in my head, perfectioning the details so later I could represent them alone, in my bredroom or in the yard of my house, but I wouldn't let anyone see me doing this.
My parents brought me up the best they could, I was really close to my mother, more than to my father, and now that I'm older I know that I can count on them. When I was a child I used to think over my future career, a lot, but I guess not so seriously after all I was only a little girl and besides I was never looking forward to become an adult, I didn't like responsabilities as any other children and I could see that adults were full of them. (continues...)
I prefered to watch tv and mostly play outside my house with other kids, I don't recall if some of them picked on me, maybe if they did I didn't care much because it did not affect me at all. Another important thing from my childhood that I remember is that my parents didn't used to punished me for being naughty, but of course that doesn't mean they let me get away with things, they always lecture me about the things I was doing wrong and I think that this was the best way. I'm very thankfull to them for the way they brought me up, specially to my mother because she was the one that was closer to me and I think that's why she and I are very alike.

There were times when I used to spend and waste all my money, although my parents brought me very well and taught me everything about financial problems, I got into a big struggle.
I used to get away with almost everything I wanted , I had five credit cards and I felt that I could count on them, but I was nothing but irresponsible. My parents didn't know anything about my debts, I had to made up a hundreds of stories, I didn't feel good at all. My friends always picked on me everytime I got my statements at the end of every month.
A friend of mine told me that I gotta think it over, cause I might never get out of that huge trouble. Finally I got a temporary job, a good one and I could pay everything I owed. I've always looked up to him, he's very organize with his life and I for sure know that I can count on him.
I promise to myself THat I'd never waste too much of my money, I don't wanna turn into the guy who owes everyone, now I'm looking forward to get promoted at work, then my life would be easier, I gotta figure out every ways to make that happen and I'm sure I'll make it...
Girlfriends definitely make you spend to much time and money as well, either ways Im not regretting, it was just like a turning point, now Im hoping not to get back on troubles.

Well, the most important day in my life was when my sister born, my parents brought up me as an only son, it would be hard for me.
I used to got away with the idea of having a sister, she would look up to me and I don`t if I would be a good brother. I think that I should make up bedtime stories or play with her, I couldn`t imagined me telling stories, and I have to think over about say or do something wrong, she would have to count on me and I won`t have to pick on her, i was nervous and a little scared, but now I realize that it is not to hard
when I was born, I had always lived with my grandparents in Trujillo, but when I was five years old, my mother took me to Lima on vacations.
there I met my cousin George. He was very funny. He knew the city very well and we both liked visiting different places every day, such as: museums,parks,etc.
In the afternoon, we would spend hours watching movies, but sometimes we were going to shop anime magazines.
One day something happened. we went to The Legend´s Park and then we lost.
I´m nervous and I started to cry, but George was calm and he said " Don´t cry".
it was too late and the park was going to close.
He asked some people and after we could find the exit.I realized that he knew to do in this situation. I really look up to him until now.I knew I could count on him.
