Simple present Hello, my name is Rodrigo, I am from Colombia, and I am 10 years old. I like read comic and watch TV. In the afternoons, I like to play basketball with my friends, and after I go to make my home works, because the study is very important for me. I have a dog, its name is Lucas, and is my best friend. I live with my mother, my father and my little sister, and I love they so much. She is 5 year old, and the next month we go together for the first time to the zoo−park. There is many animals like the panther, the tiger, the big bear, the funny monkeys, and birds like the eagle, the condor and others more that will be nice to meet. My father say me If you are a god boy, in your birthday I give you a Play station can you believe it?, is a nice gift, so I will be a god boy for win this prize. Yesterday star the summer, and I can go to the beach with my uncle and my cousins, for play everyday together in the sea. I know that this is a god plan, also is funny and is economic. Past progressive When the girl was arriving to her house, her mother did cooking the dinner. The girl walked in silent to her room, but her mother already heard the door. Calling sweetly to her daughter, the mother say : why do you arrive to this hour at the house? The girl, rotating on her steps, and looking to the eyes of her mother, she was telling to the woman that was cooking, reasons about 3 minutes. But the woman smiling said:; I know that you were with Richard, why do you're lying me? The girl downing her heard and said: I am sorry, mommy, never do it again don't arrive to this hour again, do you know what time is? I do, but don't be angry with me, please ok. The mother don't know that her daughter didn't forget her birthday, and the reason for the later of her arrive, was the gift that she had leave in the receiver, with the help of dad. After, in the dinner, the father, smiling and look with malice, say to his daughter and wife that he had a god notice: their gone to travel to the Bahamas for the birthday of her wife.
