If I won the lotterty or I had a lot of money

I don't think I'll ever have a lot of money for two major reasons: first one because I don't play lottery games and second, because I'm not a greedy or competitive guy.
I can make an effort though, and imagine I had. So If I had much money, for sure I'd live in the countryside because I don't like the smoke of cars.
Some people think that money doesn't bring you happiness and so do I. That's why I wouldn't buy anything in particular, but I'd try to devote as much time as possible to my family.
I'd lend some to my brother for him to pay off his debts and I'd let him refund me when he wanted to.
If I won the lottery..., well, then I think I'd really know who are my friends.

Acronyms or Backronyms?

It was mid morning and one of my mates teachers was talking about computers and learning new things and stuff like that, and then she said to me:
- For sure you know what "wiki" means, because you are the English teacher, are you?
- "No,..... I don't know" I answerd circumspectively
- Well.. It's the acronym of "what I know is.....", she explained.
I was a bit annoyed because, some time ago I wrote an article on my blog about acronyms,and I did not know this one. I didn't think of it much longer, but I was a bit concerned.
Next day she came back to me and said:
- "I discovered that "wiki" is a false acronym."
- Come on! This was even worse! I never heard of "false acronyms".
Eventually, I found out that there are a certain number of acronyms that are called backronyms because they come from people's misunderstandings or urban legends. Among them is "wiki", which actually comes from the Hawaiian langauge and it meant "quick, quick"

Thanks to the "Ecology" teacher I have learned more things about English.

My last holidays

My last holidays were very interesting and funny because I went to Granada with my friends and my parents .

When we were there, firstly we went to the hotel, where we stayed for 4 days and 3 nights. It was the first day at night so we only slept. Then , the next day, we went to see the Alhambra . It was amazing! The same day we ate out and then we went shopping. We bought lots of things, for example my best friend bought a pair of green trousers and two beautiful t-shirts .The third day, we went to visit my best friend’s grand-parents , because they live there, and we ate in a beautiful restaurant that her grand-parents suggested us. Then, at night my parents stayed in the hotel and we hang out. The last day we prepared our luggage and we bought some souvenirs to give to our family and friends , for example Toni bought a bracelet to his mother . In the bracelet you could read: “I LOVE GRANADA” .

So this is all I can say about my last week in Granada , I suggest people to go there because is a beautiful place to visit.
