My favorite part of town

I have been living in Victoria city for 2 years, I don´t know much about the city but, of all the places I know my favorite place is The Cultural park XXI Century, this place is located in the southern part of the city, by the side of the San Marcos River, I don’t know nothing about his history, but I think it’s a beautiful place, I like go there because I can do exercise and play basketball. Has a long time since I stay here but the last time I was there I have an excellent afternoon, also remember that while i was running I fell but it did not hurt because I fell in the grass.

about me

My name is Karina, I’m 20 years. I live in Victoria 2 years ago. Currently I study engineering mechatronics in the UPV.  Some of things that I love made when I have free time are listen music, sleep, do exercise and play with my pets. I love my pet; he is with me 5 years ago. And one of the things that really don't like me is when I see animal abuse; I think the people who do this have no respect for life.
The purpose for which I made this blog is for my English class, in general I think that learn English is good, I like this language because some of the music that I listen is in this language and if I learn English I will understanding best meaning of this songs, another reason for which I study this language is because I need pass the TOEFL test to obtain my title with an engineer and probably I will need understand and speak English in my future work.
