Hi there!

I just have been listening to the poem.
It seems so easy when the speaker is reciting it, but when I try, I have to begin again and again.

It's the same when you hear the poems of Shakespeare played by an English person. It sounds incredible, it's like music for our ears...

I wish to speak this way, when I were old, he he he. Because now I'm so young!
I have time to do it. I'm plenty of time.

Guess how old am I!

And you? If you don't mind me asking?

This last phrase is specialy dedicated to Cristina. She knows perfectly why.

Regards to everybody.

And remember: enjoy your english!

I'm sorry, I know I have commite a mistake, but here is the correction.

Instead of "english" is English.

I beg you pardon.

One more mistake? of course!

when I said commite, I wanted to say "commited"

I hope this is the last mistake for today.

Hi Teo!
Let me make a few corrections: "I HOPE to speak this way when I AM old; I HAVE plenty of time. Guess how old I AM"
Very good use of the softening phrase "if you don't mind me asking" I have no problem with telling my age. I'm 33 primaveras ;-)
As for "mistakes": you "MAKE a mistake." If you use the participle of commit in another context, then "committed"
