I feel honoured by your teacher

Hello Students!

My name is Maru, I am Mexican. I live in Toluca City but was born in San Luis Potosí City. I am an online friend of your teacher Natasa.


The clay suns that you see were made and painted by my mother, she came to Toluca to learn how to make clay handcrafts. Can you see a cat on the picture?

Natasa invited me to post at your cosy Coffee Time site and I feel that it is an honor.
You have a terrific teacher, not all the teachers share their sites as her.

I will share with you some of the Mexican Arts and Crafts.
You can tell us which one do you like best or ask questions to have a nice conversation around our coffee. Shall we?

Why Coffee Time



I left you a voice message at the bottom of the page (something like listening comprehension). Since some of you have slow internet connection, I decided to write the text of my message here.
I started drinking coffee very early in my life. My mother says I was nine years old. I don't think it was a good idea, because, as we all know, coffee forms addiction, so now I get very irritable if I don't get my morning coffee.
Still, I think coffee is great. What it does for me - it makes me happy. Coffee is about sharing - sharing good stories with your friends, letting others into your life.
When my mom gave me my first cup of coffee, she let me into the world of grown-ups. I can remember long summer afternoons with my parents. We talked and talked, and we enjoyed being together.
Nowadays people walk down the street and drink coffee from paper cups. I myself do it. Next time you buy your take-away coffee, find a bench and sit down. Look around you. Smile. Life is beautiful.

A few things about your teacher


"Hello. My name is Natasa and I am your teacher." These are the words I start every course with. I rarely go beyond this first sentence. And I try not to talk about myself later during the course, because it is really you who should speak, not me.
Now I am going to volunteer some information about myself:
In case you are wondering how old I am, I am 41. Now that was the painful part. Since I am definitely not going to tell you how much I weigh, I feel I can relax now.
I am married and I have a son who is seven years old.
I have been working at Kolarac ever since I graduated. I hope to stay here till I retire, because I love my school. If this is your first time here, I hope you will love it too.
I am interested in CALL (Computer Assisted Language Learning), which is why I have started this blogging project with you (you will soon find out how it all works, let's not worry about it now). Apart from this blog, I have another, personal blog and a wiki (Let's not worry about what "a wiki" is at this point, OK?).
I love reading and discussing books. I like to watch a good film or go to the theatre when I have time, which is very rarely. I love travelling and I used to travel a lot when I was young. Now I like to take things slowly and my favourite holiday destination nowadays would be a sea-side resort.
My favourite singer is Leonard Cohen. Since I love poetry, I find good lyrics very important in a song.
I spend far too much time at the Internet and I think I qualify as an addict.
I love coffee (see the blog name).
I like very dark, very bitter chocolate.
My favourite colour is red.
If you click my Profile, you will see that I am an Aquarius.
I am afraid of the dark.
Have I left any questions unanswered?
Oh, yes, I like instant coffee. Milk, no sugar.
