I wish having had time to go for a walk with my friends.

i wish i could have enough money to not have to work so much and do many fun things all this was also good Because I learned many things, I also learned to work and earn money for myself on account. I was able to buy my things. as I like and many other things. Actually, I do not regret not having had every time. on unnecessary things i know that is very important to have fun but it is also very important

do not know how to do something that suits us to help in our daily life. I see that many people go to parties often then they lament saying i wish i had drunk so much alcohol actually weed We complain about everything that life but we can't solve everything. I just want to be happy. In what I do soon I will be a great English teacher and my students will love me a lot. But for now I must continue studying.

learning a lot about the English language I wish I had started starting much earlier so that in the moment I was already working and earning money to fulfill my dreams. My greatest wish for now is to be able to speak English correctly. and graduate and start working. I think that is also format.

David's Global Wishes and Career Regrets

I give the floor to my mate. Thank you very much. Okay, Carlos. Thank you so much. Now, we are going to move on and talk with David Ochoa. David! Please talk to us about expressing wishes and regrets.

Okay guys now it's my turn to talk about my wishes and my regrets My name is David Rodrigo and I would like to share with you some personal information about today's topic first Talking about my wishes is important to say, I wish I had a lot of trips abroad, for this I wish I was rich, perhaps one of the most enriching things. and that brings us the most benefit is traveling. It allows us to develop certain skills that we call Harley life will daily reduce the stress and anxiety.

It helps us to resolve physiological problems and even physical, open our mind and creativity to resolve troubles, in addition to being one of the most pleasing activities. Also, I wish our world was a better world. Humans need to help each other more. This is very important. Help each other more. I wish people had more respect for nature. Our planet is giving us signals that we must take care of it, that its resources are not unlimited. This planet is our home. If we don't take care of it,

What will become of us? Each of us must change some habits for our common hand. Ok guys, second about my regrets, I wish I had known or select fast in my career study, without wasting so much time. I spent a lot of time without knowing what I wanted to be. I consider I need a career guidance. So I would like to give an advice to the young people who live their high school style.

What we like is important, but we don't know everything. An advice, an opinion always help. I wish I had used the help of career guidance. Also, I had apologized to my family members when we had problems. My soul and my mind would be calmer. Family is the most important thing. Let's not live and important things to make us angry and fight. The phrase that says that we never go to sleep without having solved these problems.

The family and each of its members are by far the ones that always are and will always be helping us. Finally guys, I have a lot of wishes and regrets. but i consider these were the most important here is this necessary to consider that we are inhumans we have we have and I am very sure we will have a lot of successes and difficulties. The important here is to learn about it, about each situation, about each trouble.

Thank you guys and thank you very much for your attention and these were the most important wishes and regrets in my life. Thank you for your contribution, David.
