EDITORIAL

We are a group of students who belong to SKILLS 3. As a group, we worked for three months with Alex Viloria who was a great guide. Some of our achievements were to acquire certain tools and gain very important knowledge to continue our learning process of the English language. Therefore, we want to show you a group of articles as a result of our learning process. These have been elaborated by ourselves to be enjoyed by you. The content of these articles is about current issues, such as, health, interesting places like museums, restaurants, personality and entertainment, and more. In advance, we know you will enjoy the magazine so let us tell you that we appreciate so much your interest in it.
