Student's Composition-"What I Do for Work"-Present Simple & Present Continuous

I’m Diego. I work as an accountant at a security company.

I create cash flow: prepare taxes, charge the purchase orders on the system and make an analysis of all the accounts on balance.

I’m looking for a new job, and knowing that employers are interested in

prospective employees that speak English, I’m currently studying English. I also like the language and think it is the international way to communicate.

I hope to write my next composition with more time. This one I’m writing at work since that is the only time I have free.

By Diego

Today's Key - Present Continuous and Going to

El Present Continuous se compone con

el verbo auxiliar "to be" + un verbo+ing

I am working

You/ We/They are studying

He/ She/It is playing

Anotamos que: En caso que el mismo pronombre (we)

esta haciendo varias actividades,

no se repiten los verbos auxiliares (am, is, are)

por ejemplo:

We are working, studying and playing at home.
She is writing a letter, chatting on Facebook and watching a movie at the same time.

Usamos el Present Now+ para indicar:

1) acciones o actividades que están sucediendo
ahora/en estos dias/ meses/años

2) arreglos o planes para el futuro

I am sending this message to let you know that I am replacing Dora at the office next week. She is currently working full time with clients and studying for her final exams at the University. (Her family is helping her with the house chores. Right now, her daughter Mary is cooking dinner and her husband Robert is washing dishes and doing the laundry). Next month they are going on a two months vacation to South America. We are looking forward to her return in March.

El Going to+verbo basico tambien se usa para projecciones o planes por el futuro.
She is going to stay in Spain for a year. (Ella va a parmanecer el España por un año.)
We're going to start our classes in May. (Vamos a empezar nuestras clases en el Mayo.)

John: What are you going to do this weekend? (Que van hacer este fin de semana?)

John: What a coincidence! Mary and I are also going to go to Tandil this weekend.
(Que coincidencia! Mary y yo tambien nos vamos a ir a Tandil este fin de semana)
