I used to.....

When I was younger I used to play outside.  I had lots of energy.  Now it is difficult to find time to exercise.  I used to eat meat.  Now I am a vegetarian.  I used to live in Ireland, where it rains all year.  Now I live in Oregon, where it only rains in winter.  I used to live near my family.  Now I live far away.  I don't see them very often.

Vegetarianism

This week, we read about vegetarians in India.  I am also a vegetarian.  I have been a vegetarian for 15 years.  I enjoy eating vegetarian food and feel healthy.  The food that I miss the most is roast chicken.

What do you think about vegetarianism?  Would you like to be a vegetarian?  Why?  What food would you miss the most?

What is your favorite way to communicate?

I hate the phone.  I do not like to talk to people on the phone.  I prefer to talk face-to-face because I can see all the person's gestures and body language.  I also like email because it is so fast and convenient.

What did you do for fun this week?

I have been very busy this week.  Winter break has ended, and I have returned to both of my jobs.  I also started attending a yoga class.  It is a lot of fun.
