Present Perfect

What have you done this month?

Well, it has been a great month. I signed up in the gym so I have gone like every day for 1 hour and I have met a lot of people who have also shared with me their diets to have better results. I have put them into practice and to be honest, they have worked out perfectly fine!

I have also tried to study for my English exams but it’s has been kinda difficult since I haven’t had time. My job has become incredible tiring and I have had to do overtime. I have returned to my house super late and I’ve just had a few hours to study and less than 7 hours to sleep. I think I need to get an agenda and prioritize my activities.

Even though I have got a tight schedule, I have been able to spend some time watching movies or reading my favorite books. I have hung out with some friends and believe it or not, I have even danced with them. You should have seen me, I made a fool of myself, cuz, as you know, I can’t dance!
