The best place in my house is where my computer is. It is where I work remotely, study at Platzi and enjoy the benefits of the internet. The place has 2 windows where you can hear noises coming from outside my house. I spend a lot of time in that place.

One of the bedrooms is used as an office or study room. There's a small garden in front of the house.

On the second floor, outside the room,

it's used to hang washed clothes and

dry them in the sun.

There are some plants inside the house, specifically on the porch.

My skin is fair, I have freckles. I wear reading glasses.

My positive traits could be:

Which techniques do you recommend to memorize new vocabulary?

Axel Yaguana

Team Platzi•

Hi, Jaime! :D

When I learn new vocab I try to use these words as much as I can. For instance, in speaking groups, I use this vocab from time to time. This way helps me familiarise with new words and their applications.

I hated living in a cramped room with two other people when I worked in the United States for a few months. The house was surrounded by nature and looked like a small cottage.

Now I live in a spacious house with my own cozy private room, and I enjoy spending time on the rooftop because I quickly feel uncomfortable in stuffy places.
