I was thinking on taking graphic design, but being an artist sounds interesting too. Thank you, Mr. Caron. It s your turn Andy. What about you? Well, Susan, I think I like numbers a lot and I also like the idea of making huge buildings and houses. Well done Andy.

9 Let s Anaylze Giving advice and suggestions in English is very easy. You just need to practice all you just learned in order to improve your language skills. Let s keep moving! In English, we have the sound of contractions which are very tricky for Spanish speakers. Let s listen and practice the pronunciation of these sounds, as they re very important in order to sound more natural. Follow me during this exercise. It s common to mixing up abbreviation with contraction. Let s look at the difference before starting. Servicio Nacional de Aprendizaje - SENA. Reservados todos los derechos /12
