What did I learned in my class of English?

In this first e-mail I will just present how I am going to focus this work.

As you suggested I am going to send you an e-mail each week based on our conversations. The idea is not to make a summary of the conversation, but to try to extract what I have learned after each class. I have realized that every time I talk with you there is something new a learn. For example two weeks ago I learned how to get rid off Telefónica, and last Tuesday about the problem faced by some homeowners in Valencia.

I will try to use the expressions you used. I will also try to include any new word that comes up in the conversation. I have to objectives, firstly remember expressions and vocabulary and, secondly to improve my writing skills.

See you on Monday

Bye
