When reading these lines, you will not have only prac ced but you will have improved your English.
As we have learned our mother tongue -Spanish- in a natural way, take a chance and prac ce your
English every day, whenever you want and above all, wherever you are so it becomes a good habit.
You will start a new level, a new step, a new chance for becoming an interna onal student. You will
con nue a ending your classes but there is a pla orm where you will be able to enter at any me.

English is used by many people in different areas of study or work so keep d oing your best in every task,
project or exam that you are going to do in the next level. Troubles are just around the corner but a student
who prac ces hard, s/he will be able to face them without hesita on: be er safe than sorry. Now it is me
to plan your learning style so you can interact with na ve or near na ve English speakers anywhere and at
any me. Every day, we make up our minds. It is only up to you!

Yours truly,

Wilfredo Polo T.
