My full name is Claudia Fabiola Paniagua Esquivel, I'm 23 years old and I have to say that I have always liked writing, not only in Spanish, but also in other languages, like Italian and of course English. That´s why I feel interested on taking this course, I think is very important having a good preparation, not only on our majors; on every knowledge as well.
I studied Political Science and I`m just starting with my thesis. I love my major, even when is kind of difficult finding a real job that fits on my profile. The problem is, if you don`t know the right people, is very hard to succeed and not finishing working on something totally different that you were thinking. Anyway I know that life doesn't reduce to one opportunity, so I´m working to find something that I feel comfortable with, and develop on my major.
I began studying also Law, but since I'm just starting, I would only say that is very important having a full view about the problems that are into the topics that we as students are discussing. Sometimes it happens that the people tend to focus only on what proffesors say, and kind of lost the point of view of their own.
My hobbies are reading books, watching sometimes TV (not TV series), hang out with my friends, spend time with my boyfriend, and when I'm in a really nice mood, cooking some things, but I'm not a big fan, actually. My favorite authors are Rosario Castellanos, Isabel Allende, Simone de Beauvior, Marguerite Yourcenar, Stephen Zweig, Michel Foucault, E.M. Cioran,etc.

Letter to a Canadian person
Hey, how are you doing?
First of all, let me say that I feel very excited because of the opportunity that I have to make contact with you; I had always wanted to have communication with other persons, not only from my own country, but also with others that, even tough talk a different language, there is the possibility to keep in touch with them, so I hope this really works, and you can understand what I say.
My sister went last summer to Canada, and she told me plenty of things very interesting about your country, in fact, one of the topics attracts my attention: according to what she saw there, the feminismin Canada turns out to be a huge success, but in real terms, is it really the empowerment of the women, or it is a practice that maybe can be a little elitist? If you are really interested in this matter, and also if you have some free time, please help me with these doubts. (Who knows?, maybe my sister lied to me, or misunderstood something…).
We mexicans know that abroad our country do not have a good reputation, but what do you think? Would you like visiting Mexico, or have you ever come here? I personally do think that this place has things that it is worth to visit and see; having the right information and a well organized schedule, I can assure you can have a real great experience.
I would like to know the things you are into, perhaps there are some coincidences that results in a good friendship, don’t you think? I hope to receive some answers, please let me know if I am capable to express, in an understandable way, my ideas in a foreign language, as english is. (a difficult task, no doubt about it, but definetely it is worth it).
Greetings

My expectations
When I started attending CELE I didn't know really what to expect about the language courses that are given here, because I had heard many variated opinions about the quality of this language center.
Honestly in the intermediate levels (since third to sixth) I didn't have good teachers (except for one, actually), but I have to say that I even thought once that it was kind of aste of time, because I wasn't doing better than I already did. The thing is I do not say that there was a progress in my overall level.
In the advanced courses it was a little bit different, but I realized that several teachers do not really think that we as students can do something more than we normally do. That was a little depressing, but also gave me one more reason to do my best on this new level.
Therefore, I expect to be able to improve as a student, to invest real time studying and attending classes, and above all, improve, in a significant way, my writing skills, not only to pass this course, but also for being a better student, and have more resources in order to have better opportunities in the future.
