Just after winning the US Open Final, Carlos Álcaraz was asked what his limit was and he answered: "My limit is the sky".
On the one hand, we can think he was boasting about his abilities. Actually, he sounded a bit too arrogant and immodest. On the other hand, however, we may think he showed a positive attitude regarding what he can do in the world of tennis, and that he just meant he can keep on improving.
Sometimes we think we have reached the summit, but in fact this can also mean the beginning of the decline, so we should always try to aim at perfection but knowing that we will never reach it. We can fly towards the Sun, but we know we'll never be able to reach the Sun because the moment you reach it you will be your complete destruction.

I don't think so. In my personal opinion, people can't be perfect in a thing, there is always a way to improve your own abilities, there aren't any limits. The problem is that people when they achieve their goals, they stop, they don't know that they can do even more, some people lose their habilities because they don't keep training and others keep their level, but never to improve more and more.
ResponderEliminarMy bedroom
ResponderEliminarMy bedroom is small but I like it. There is a bed and there are many books in my desk. There is two chairs but one is broken. There aren’t any TV in my room.
I have much posters in the wall, but not too much. There is a big window next to the bed and the sun come inside in the morning. Under the bed there are my shoes and my football ball.
How many pencils I have? I don’t know, maybe ten or eleven. How much homeworks I have? Too many!
Sometimes my cat sleep in the chair, sometimes in the box behind the door. My room is a little messy but I love it.

My Typical Day
ResponderEliminarI usually wake up at seven o’clock and I have my breakfast. Sometimes I am very tired and I don’t want to go to school. My mom is saying “hurry up!” because I am slow.
At school I study English, maths, history and science. I like English because we are learning new words and we are talking with my friends in English. My teacher is nice but she give us a lot of homeworks.
In the break I play football with my friends. We are always running and shouting, it’s very fun. After school I go home and I eat lunch with my family.
Now I am doing my homework and listening music. My brother is watching TV and he is making noise. I am a bit angry but it’s okay.

My Halloween Night
ResponderEliminarHalloween is very cool and I love it a lot. I go out with my friends in the night. We wear costumes, I am a skeleton this year and my best friend is a zombie. We paint our faces and take photos for Instagram.
We are going to the park and we scare little kids, it’s very funny. Then we go to one friend’s house and we eat pizza and candies. There is loud music and we are dancing and laughing.
Some people are going to the disco for teenagers but my mom say I am too small for that. I am angry but ok, next year I go for sure.
At the end we walk in the street, it’s dark and there are pumpkins in the windows. I love Halloween because I can be crazy with my friends and nobody say nothing.
