Egypt or Japan?

Hello everyone, 
Today I'm going to talk about a country I would like to visit.
In my childhood I always loved different countries and different cultures, so, travelling it seems as something good to do in the future and as an idea that became in part of my plans.
The countries I would like to visit are two; Egypt and Japan. The first one, because its history, its archaeological rest and its pyramids, among a few other things. All the stories that has been told about those places and its beautiful scenery caught me since I heard them. 
On the other hand, I would like to travel to Japan, a country that have been suffer a lot (as many others), but that has revive and has become in a big power. The beautiful gardens and scenery that are in there makes all your fantasies seems possible.
Currently, the only thing I want to do is travel to some places else, even if that place isn't Egypt or Japan. In every place it is possible to learn some things that could make a change in your life.
If I was in one of those two countries I would like to visit restaurants, travel around the typical places and buy many characteristics stuffs. Also, I would like to research about stories that goes around the people who lives there, myths, legends, etc.
If I had the money for the plane ticket I would go to study to another country and learn about its past and make some anthropological research and explore places unknown.

Well, those are my favorite countries; I'm confused about what of those two countries choose right now.
Do you like some of these countries? Or do you prefer another one?

Television

Hello everyone!
Today I'm going to talk about television programs and stuff.
Personally, I don't like Chilean TV, because its topics are usually related with gossips, sex and famous life. Also, the movies are, mainly, about sex, drugs, infidelity, etc. 
Programs with those contain, even if are not interesting, many people watch them because they considered funny or there is nothing else to watch on TV. 
The people that is in charge of TV programs doesn't care about what's informative or interesting, they care about how many people will watch those programs. They work for an audience that is used to non-sense shows and gossips programs.
The TV is a great instrument to spread information and to be informed, but, when the magnates who control all the media, manage what kind of information goes out, the population stay under their control without even notice it. The TV is a dangerous tool.
About Chilean TV I'll change the kind of programs that are show off and, with that, instill in children of all ages cultural programs and informative topics that also can be funny and interesting.
Even if I think that Chilean TV is not really good and the necessity of cultural programs is urgent, the TV serve as a way to distract from all stressing things that happens outside, so, TV shows about solve crimes and detectives helps us to think about something else, even if is for a short moment.

My Ideal Job

The most of parents want for their children is a job with a good payment. That is because they want for their sons and daughters the best, and a life with no problems and bad moments caused by money are the best wishes they could ever had for them.
My mom always encourage me to study a health career and I thought I want that too, but at the end of the day, working in a job like that wasn't what I really want for me.
For me, working in a close place, without natural light just light bulbs, is not pleasant. Besides, many others factors that have influence on the way that I can do my job, like the most important, vocation. This idea gives you the most relevant impulse to do a good job and continue with it.
I would like to work on open places, been on the place where the facts happen and the activity is on top.
Field work, like the anthropologist do, is the best job that could ever exist. Taking samples and work on a laboratory, even if I told I don't like that kind of places, work on it and in open places is a good combination. 
I would be good in this kind of job because the most important to do something is that you like it. Nothing else.
I don't know the possibilities to get such a great job like this, but I will take my chances, because I don't see me doing something else.

Post number 10. The Last Post.

Hi everybody, this is my last post, so I'm going to talk about my experience using blogs.
This was my first time using this "tool" and I have to admit I like it, because, to write about something, no matter what topic it's about, you have to put all your imagination to get readers lost in the post.
At the beginning, my writing skills wasn't too good, but now, far  from be excellent, I get better in this.
Practice is the best way to learn how to do something and to learn to write, speak, listen or read in English, practice is the best option to get best results. Therefore, to beat one of my worst weakness in English skills the thing a have to do over and over is write.
I would like to include in blog sessions some vocabulary that helps us to write post. Many times, I fall short of words and a vocabulary could be a good way to review those words that otherwise we won't use. Every topic has different words we use repeatedly, but those words don't come to my mind quickly and when this happens, is frustrating.
Finally, I would like to say that one thing I would like to write about is cars. I love cars, luxury cars like Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro, Audi TT, Hyundai Genesis, Mitsubishi Eclipse, etc.
My dream is to buy a  Ford Mustang (Viper or GT, I have to search for the difference yet), but it's just a dream. 
I hope had a salary that allows me to eat.
I'm going to let you with a photo of a beautiful car.


I love it! 

See you soon.
Best regards.

Trees.

Hi everyone, this time I'm going to talk about trees.

I really like trees, even I have one tattooed on my back, it's a cherry tree with pink flowers.

The trees are very important to us, because, without them we couldn't survive. The oxygen we use to breath is produce by the trees (mostly). They are, also, an important piece to keep our air clean from pollution, but trees can't do this job all alone, they need our cooperation to keep our environment clean. 



Ancient cultures considered trees as symbols of life and knowledge, as the Celtic culture. They had put this figure in many symbols of their culture. One of these symbols is the Crann Bethadh, representing the world of spirits. As they obtain everything they need from nature, for them, this was very important and, therefore, they respected, crossing difficulties between villages.




Now and despite how beautiful they may be, humans cut them down and doesn't care about the impact they may have on the environment.
People need more environment awareness and need to be more careful with nature before we get worst pollution problems.

My Favourite Subject

Hi, today I'm going to talk about my favourite subject.
Since I can remember, the subject that I enjoyed the most has been English. When I was in the school I always had good marks in this subject, at difference with others subjects, also, that can be the reason that I would like to learn different languages (the first experiences with anything can help you choose one way or another).
The teachers are a very important part in the teaching of any subject, so, when I was in primary school, my teacher taught me to like this subject, maybe because of her way to do it. Sadly, my last years at the school, my teachers of English weren't in their area. I mean, they can know a lot about languages and stuffs, but if they can't put all that knowledge in some good ways to teach, his job isn't complete.
Now, and after to pass almost 3 years without a subject related with languages, English return to be my favourite subject.
In class we strengthen our weakness making exercises, writing, reading and speaking with our classmates, sometimes finding more difficult than others times. For example, the content when I have to put all my ability are "past verbs". Something I always found complicated.
Well, I do my best.



Best regards to everyone!
Bye bye.
