General Reflection

I have learned very important things in terms of writing, things that before I not handle with accuracy and that now handling much better, as the use of the punctuation. I used to write commas caressly  and without knowing why. Now I have learned that I must pay attention to the time of writing, whether that by exaggerated as it may sound, a comma can change everything. For example the expression: "Let's eat, grandpa" and "Let's eat grandpa". This is an example that is very simple but at the same time shows the importance of the punctuation in interpreting a message.

My favorite holiday

Christmas is my favorite holiday. I love Christmas because I can spend time with my family, cooking with my brother, and of course, because I receive presents. I also like to do some activities alone, like watching movies and reading. I'm a TV, and in Christmas there is a lot of good movies to watch in family. Some of my favorites are "Home Alone", "The Grinch", and "The Nightmare Before Christmas". Also, it is the perfect time to cook and to try new recipes. My brother and I are vegetarians, so we can't eat any type of food. That's why, we love to make different recipes that we watch on the Internet. Another thing that I like about Christmas, it's that we can decorate the Christmas tree. It's a really fun activity that we can in family. Finally, one of the most important reasons, because I love Christmas is that this holiday is in summer, so I don't have to go to the university, and I can relax and enjoy my time with my loved ones.
