I need English for my studies. That’s why I’m studying English, I prefer work
in pairs, because its more easy for me and at the same time I learn with my
partner, I really enjoy speaking English with my partners, its very funny. For
me, a difficulty that I have when learning English is that I often get
confused with the words in the appropriate tense (past, present, etc.)
To learn English I prefer to watch videos in English or listen to music in
English, so I can learn the words with each other and improve my listening,
Usually outside of class, to practice English I review a lot of exercises and
vocabulary so as not to forget important things.

I need English as a basic tool that will help me for my future at school,
university and at work, In class I really like to speak in English and do the
exercises, because that's how I learn and put into practice what I've
learned.

Why did they do it?
1 Kimani Maruge
Kimani Maruge was born in Kenya. When he was a
child, people in his country had to pay to go to school,
so he didn't learn to read and write. Then, in 2003,
primary schools became free so he decided to get an
education. He started school for the first time at 84
years old. Leaming wasn't easy for him but he worked
hard. This experience completely changed his life. In
fact, in 2005, he travelled to New York to talk to people
at the United Nations about free education.
2 Harriette Thompson
Harriette Th0mpson was born in 1923 in the US.
She worked as a piano player for most of her life . On
23 May 1999, one of Harriette's friends decided to
walk the San Diego marathon for charity. Harriette
joined her but she didn't walk - she ran. She was 76
years old. She ran the marathon every year between
1999 and 2015, except for one year when she was very
ill. When she was 94 years old, she became the oldest
woman to complete a marathon. It took her 7 hours,
24 minutes and 36 seconds and she collected more
than $100,000 for charity.
3 Laila Denmark
Laila Denmark was born in 1898 in Atlanta, USA .
She wanted to become a doctor so she could help
children. Studying medicine wasn't usual for women
at the time. In fact, she was the only woman in a
