If
Hypotetical situation.
You have booked a holiday with your family on a remote exotic island. Just before you're about to go, you hear on the news that there have been some outbreaks of violence between rival poltical factions on the island. What would you do?
I would keep my idea on going there, of course they wouldn't stop they barbaric issues just because of my presence, but also is unlikely that they would try to beat each other at the resort I have booked.
Something that I would do just as a cautius measure is to ask for information at the hotel, I would definitely get angry if i arrived and they had closed the resort for security measures.
Being ther in that situation only let me to spend some time between a local war, something that I wouldn't do beacuse it's not ncessary, injuries hurts, I might die and there is a high probability on losing my belongings.
As a conclusion I guess I would go, some opportunities have to be taken, so if the hotel's administrators said it's safe staying there I would tahe their word becaused theiy assured that and could get rich if they were wrong.
Apparently this text has been corrected and shoudn't contain any mistakes, but due to the mistakes done last time which some of them were ridiculously incredible when I put an eye on them I'll write the next lines which are intended to help me on activating some kind of filter's languaje for writting and speaking well.
I know the last homework I did it at the very last time, which means it was done firstable for fulfill the duty than to be done as should be, this implies to not having enough time to review my dudes about some words with their spelling.
Another process mistake is I haven't beat is my need to think in spanish and then translate to the foreign languaje on use.
The last thing I need to do to help my learning process is to move away, there is to much spanish in the air. If I didn't have the possibility to use it I would advance fastly in the learning. I know this is not only dificult right now, its almost impossible but there is a lot of media which can help like movies or recordings, maybe that wouldn't be enough but would be more than I use actually.
