My name is Rubiela, I am married, I have two children, I live in Robledo near the hospital Pablo Tobón Uribe, I am a hairdresser, my favorite hobby is dancing; I am studying a degree in English and Spanish, I am doing the 4° semester. 

I am very interested in learning English, because in Colombia students have low level of English, Colombia needs professional teachers with an excellent level in English and I know a lot of students saying: English is boring, but I think that at the beginning students feel frustrated because they do not understand the difference between two languages, they need a good teacher with many techniques and motivation to learn English. 

The goal in communicative competence IV is to practice a lot writing and speaking with different  topics that help me in my process of learning English; all students will have the opportunity to work though the web, there we post  ours  homework and we can share the activities.

I recommend return to your pages, because you can back there to correct your mistake or you can look others homework and use this one like model.

To achieve goal, we must to work hard and have discipline,responsibility, passion and enjoy doing it.
