Mariajosé rewrites Eliseo´s story

Hi Everybody!!
Karen told me if I could write again Eliseo´s text with the corrections she made, so I´m going to trying it:


I was angry because Karen and Marijo went to the cinema and they didn´t let me know. I really wanted to watch a subtitled film but I didn´t, so I´m really disappointed. Eliseo pulled a long face when he knnew that those wonderful women had gone to the cinema without him.

It doesn´t matter, I´ve seen the film "The child in the striped pyjamas" several times. I´d rather go to the cinema. I also prefer to go on my own because the girls are great chatterboxes!! Although I´ll no doubt go altogether soon.
Marijo had not heard about the film "The King´s speech", me neither. They thought Eliseo is very clumsy and he could spoil their secret plan.

Last Wednesday, Marijo was in the corner although the Bar is on the corner. I could hear her with my own ears. The way she speaks English sets my hair on edge. (Is it really so horrible?). She has a very cool head.

Today, the eighteenth March, Pepe was extra late as he always has affairs to deal with and sort out. He even turned a deaf ear when spoke about the breakfast fine. Even though it seems unreal, he is improving in his English amazingly!! He is always thinking about business. He´d like to sign an exclusive contract with "Pablo de Olavide University". When he becomes rich and go out from "ropero", he´ll be more generous and will travel all over the world. He might even invite us to make a trip to Florence, the most elegant city in the world. Don´t we wish?

As for Carmen, she is the busy nurse, she is always answering calls and saving lives, she lives in a happy world. She gets a pat on the back from everyone for doing such a good job!! She likes to give a helping hand to the poorly people. Purple suits her down to the ground and I suggest she makes a purple gypsy dress with a little bag around the leg. (I hope Carmen ignore it)

And now Miriam, well, she is always changing her look. She was an unruly girl, but now, she is a very sensible person (more o less, this is what I think he meant). I tell her: Relax! Let your hair down for a change!. I think the change must be for blue not for redish. She certainly brings a breath of fresh air to a stuffy atmosphere!! In the long run, she´ll live in a SPA full of Bach´s flowers. (May I go with her??)

Last Wednesday our teacher was having an argument with another mother, heatedly discussing some sort of matter with her. Two of a kind she very quiet and relaxed versus Karen with boiling blood running through her Scottish veins. (This part is very hard to understand for me). I don´t agree with you. That can´t be true! You´re pulling my leg...You always criticize me behind my back.
In the Bar, Pepe and Marijo were very angry. Marijo had many things to do and Pepe was losing a lot of business (because he´s learning English for his business). Miriam was relaxed thinking about her new look.
Hence, this Friday, Karen was very sorry and wanted to invite us to a complete English breakfast, not. We had to make do with toast and tomatoes which is better anyway. So, Karen said: It´s my shout. Even though it doesn´t seem real I´m innocent and I´m going to buy a ticket to Scotland in low season.

Definitely, Eliseo is a bit crazy, he´s like a goat (We would say), but we appreciated him.

Finaly, I´ve finished. I´m exhausted!!

See you all on Wednesday. Have a great weekend!.

  1. WELL DONE, MARIJO!!!!

    I don't have enough words to tell you that it is fantastic, very much better than Eliseo's story.
    I think that if our ideal teacher, Karen, wants to go to Scotland for a trip you could be our another teacher.
    If Myriam goes to SPA full of BACH'S flowers I would like go with her and you if it's possible.
    I think that Eliseo is a bit clampsy but he is improving her english and he wants we were interested in blog.

    bye,bye...

  3. About those texts the corrections are (I´m not going to write the full text because it´s so long, I´ll just write the setences that need correcting, ok?)
    1. María José´s text:
    Hi Everyone: I´m going to rewrite Eliseo´s text, with corrections Karen made. At least, I´ll try!.
    Instead of "When he becomes rich and go out from the wardrobe", we say "When he becomes rich and COMES OUT of the wardrobe". And in the same paragraph, instead of "...to make a trip to Florence" we say "to TAKE a trip to..."
    Next paragraph, the last sentence, I wrote "I hope Carmen ignore it" and I forgot the "S", so, it´s "I hope Carmen IGNORES it" (unforgivable mistake, sorry).
    Next paragraph, about Miriam I wrote "...the change must be for blue not for redish" and the correct form is "Miriam should go for blue highlights not for reddish ones".
    And finally, about Eliseo, instead of "Eliseo is a bit crazy but we appreciated him", we say "Eliseo is a bit mad but we still apreciate him, do we?".

    Regarding the comment by Carmen:
    Instead of "...To go to Scotland for a trip you could be our another teacher..." we say "to go ON a trip you could be our OTHER teacher..." and "if Miriam goes to SPA" would be "If Miriam goes to A spa".
    And the last sentence "I think that Eliseo is a bit clampsy but he is improving her english and he wants we were interested in blog", would be "I feel that Eliseo is a bit clumbsy but he is imporving his English. He also wants us to be interested in the blog"

    About Miriam´s comment, Karen has written:
    I want to thank Marijo and congratulate her for her good English (I (Karen) gave her the corrections!!). I feel one has to accept your high level in English and try to be less jealous as it is damaging to one´s health.If he doesn´t change he will not come to the cinema with us nor to the SPA either.
    Thanks to Carmen for being Carmen. She is as good that has an excuse for Eliseo. You are more than a woman, you are a Saint!
    Thanks to Karen for consoling me.
    You are all the best mates I could ever have. Bye.

    Well, I think that´s all. I hope not to have many mistakes.
