My Name

My name is Obed.The name Obed is originally from Israel and in my language my name means Casa De Dios, House of God.I don’t think my name represents my personality because it is a really serious name, but I like my name because is not common.When I asked my mom why she gave me this name, she said this name represented a hardworking man, and she got the name Obed from the Bible because she thought this was a perfect name for me.In my opinion I would never change my name to some other name because it is something special from my mom.

Obed Godinez ESL Level 6 July 12, 2010 My Funny Experience My funny experience happened four years ago when I was fixing my friend’s car.I started to change the brakes, and I did the change perfectly.My friend asked me how I knew to change brakes, I said I studied mechanic for three years, and he told me if you studied mechanics maybe you know how to wash a car engine, and I said yes, I Can.We went to the auto parts store to buy a spray cleaner, but we got the wrong spray because the spray label said it couldn’t be sprayed when the engine is hot.However, we never read the instructions.It I was the first wrong step. When I was in the car wash, my friend and I sprayed on to the engine, but the engine was too hot, and it started on fire. My friend was very scared, and he ran like crazy looking for water, but he never saw the water hose was next to him. When I saw the fire, I took off my shirt and tried to put out the fire, but my shirt caught fire.The funny part was when my friend returned with water and he put the water onto the car, but the car fire had already stopped. It didn’t need the water; who needed the water was me because my shirt was on fire.I learned always read the instructions before using any kind of spray to wash a car engine.
