Dear Mom & Dad,
We arrived here a month ago. The journey has been exausting and I really want to be in home. Five mans died the last week because of a storm. I'm scared cause winter is coming and is probably gonna be too cold for us. The natives helped us to make the vegetables grow. We're going to celebrate thanksgiving with the natives. We're so grateful with the natives, maybe we would be too bad without them.

In Morelos peasant communities were under increasing pressure from the small landowning class who monopolized land and water resources for sugar cane production with the support of dictator Porfirio Díaz. Zapata early on participated in political movements against Diaz and the landowning hacendados, and when the Revolution broke out in 1910 he was positioned as a central leader of the peasant revolt in Morelos.  Zapata once again retook Morelos in 1917 and held most of the state against Carranza's troops until he was killed in an ambush in 1919. After his death Zapatista generals aligned with Obregón against Carranza and managed to obtain powerful posts in the governance of Morelos after Carranza's fall. They instituted many of the land reforms planned by Zapata in the state of Morelos.

3rd Period

Well Winter vacations are coming and I want to share with you the things that I learned in this period.

You can see in the picure the seasons which ones are:

Spring
Summer
Fall or Autumn
&
Winter...

I like more winter because is when my family get together, and we eat a lot of food, I get more fat. In winter I put up christmas decorations, and I spend most of time with my grandparents.

But I also like Summer because I love swimming in the beach, and some cute guys come to visit Los Cabos, so the beach is infested of handsome guys *-*.

And I love to watch little birds come out from their nest, and when the flowers start to grow at my grandma's garden, that happens at spring.

And in Fall all the green leaves on the trees turns yellow and brown, and after that they start falling and the floor get cover of all of that leaves. 

The Seasons of the year it's like the cycle of the life, you come into the world, you grow, enjoy and then you die...

Then I go to school. classes start at 7 o´clock.
We have lunch in the school at ten twenty.
Classes finish at one twenty.
I get home from school at one thirty.
I do my homework in the afternoon.

We also learned about work routines; they are like daily routines, but in work routines you talk about what you do in your job.

The adverbs of frequency are: 
-always (100%)
-usually (75%)
-often (50%)
-sometimes (25%)

  • He sometimes goes swimming.
  • She is rarely late for dance class.
  • He never ask twice.
