Life Experiences
Write about some interesting experiences you have had in your life. First, state the experience and then elaborate on that. You MUST use present perfect first, and then past simple to give more details.
Example.
I have been to New Orleans twice. The first time, I went in 2008 and then in 2015. When I went there, I ate a traditional dish called Poboy, which basically consists of two pieces of bread stuffed with some kind of meat. I also had fun at the Mardi Gras which is a traditional festival where people get drunk and walk around the streets. I also tried alligator for the first time. It tasted like chicken.
Hello!
ResponderEliminarI have been to Acapulco, when I was ten or eleven years old. I remenber that I was so thrilled because it was going to be the first time that my family and I go out. The problema always has been that my father is a workaholic, so he hardly ever take days off.
We stayed there four days in a hotel called “Tortuga”, that was near by the beach . We went to the beach and we ate pescado a la veracruzana, it was so delicius. We also ate oysters and seafood. I really had a bad experience there, I remeber that how it was yesterday.I was having a tan when suddenly the waves came where I was and dropped me to the shore of the sea, I thought that I was going to die, but fortunatly, my brother in law went for me because he could swimming and he saved me. After that I couldn´t enjoy our holiday.
Hi there Adriana. I've also had some bad experiences in Acapulco. Definitely, it is not my cup of tea 😒. Please notice this:
EliminarThe hotel Tortuga was by the beach.
I remember as if it was/were yesterday.
My brother in law could swim.
Good job!
I have been to Acapulco twice, the first time, I went in 2007 and then in 2017, when I went there, I really enjoyed the sea and the sun, as well as the deliciousness of a beer in these places, I went to several bars to sing and dance, and also visited several tourist places such as Puerto Marquez, Caleta and Caletilla, piunta diamante and la quebrada
ResponderEliminarmy favorite without a doubt was Puerto Marquez because altough it is not a very luxurious place its people are very welcoming and the sea is enjoyed in an impressive way
I have visited ixtapan de la sal, it was a great experience since it was my birthday, on that occasion I was accompanied by my two best friends, what most enjoyed was the water park and the center of the place
I really enjoy meeting new places, I like adventure

ResponderEliminarHello I have been in the port of Manzanillo I went in 2015 and it was great to remember that in that place we ate delicious dishes, we were also walking along the beach and we got into the sea what I liked the most was that in the distance I saw two whales too what I liked was that we rented a boat to go to the sea and to be able to snorkel, the truth is it is an incredible experience to see the bottom of the sea in full color and real since I could see fish of many colors that I had never seen, giant rocks full of corals and many other things.

I have been in Teotihuacán once last year. I went in december on my holiday time. I visited the two most important pyramids, this pyramids are the moon and sun . I got really tired getting to the top of the pyramid. I also bought some handmade souvenirs for my family and boyfriend. The handmade souvenirs usually have the imagen of the moon and sun. I got a nice experience eating in "La Gruta" is a traditional restaurant, I ate a traditional prehispanic dish called Tlacoyitos they are made with; beans, cheese, green gravy and corn dough. It has been one of my best experiences, because the pyramids of the sun and the moon, are worth it for the beautiful landscape and even the delicious traditional food of the most popular restaurant on Teotihuacan, "La Gruta". I really enjoy meeting more about Mexico culture.

Hello, I've been to Puebla twice, I like that place, I've had the pleasure of knowing and being in the "Convention Center of Puebla" is a quiet and very large, one of the best scenarios for any type of event (congresses, symposia, concerts, shows, fairs). The first time I was there, my cousin and I went to a youth meeting called ENJES, which lasts three days and takes place every year on the dates of July in different states of the Republic and where each state hosts you. The three days we stayed there, they lodged us in a town called "Las Ranas" an hour from downtown Puebla, it was the best experience I could have had, I bathed every day in a temazcal that are steam baths that take care of As traditional medicine through detoxification, chiles en nogada became a very special dish for me and the people are very nice and kind that always motivates you to return.
ResponderEliminarHow cool is Puebla!
Hello again Janet. After reading your experiences in Puebla, I got the urge to go down there. I have been there several times but it seems like you know the place so much better than I do. Thanks for sharing .
EliminarI has gone many times to cuernavaca morelos, one of them I wanted drink juice of cane but the store was closed so my parents and me visited the borda garden which is a botanic garden I enjoyed much seeing the different plants and there I bought a wooden whistle that sounded like a bird.

I've been in Veracruz cuando tenia 17 años and met a very handsome boy who sold frozen coconut hahaha, that trip was really fun, because I spent time with my family and visited beautiful places, although there were many mosquitoes and that bothered me, oh and when we went to dinner I did not get my shrimp´s and I ended up eating quesadillas. :)
ResponderEliminarI have been to Xcaret 3 times, the first was when I was little, later I traveled with some friends in 2015 and the last time was in 2017. When I went there I went swimming in the cenotes, it is an experience I will never forget and it was better because it was one of the first trips I made with Pau. I also practice diving and feed the fish.
