Humans are destroying our planet, smog, litter and dirt are everywhere around us. What do you think is the worst problem? Pollution? Smog? the Ozone Layer depletion? other?
Celebrations and festivals are the best way to keep our roots and traditions alive, people dance, receive and give presents, eat special things, play among other activities. My favorite celebration is Christmas, it is a quite celebration to spend with our family.
What is your favorite celebration? Why? What do you usually do?
Speaking different languages is really necessary, you have access to more information, opportunities, and culture. All of your chances to study and get a better job increase enormously, it's a great advantage over the people who don't speak more than one language.
If I had the chance I'd learn German, Italian and Chinese. What about you? What language would you like to learn?
Living in other country is very attractive and a source of many different opportunities, you can get a better job, the best education, oportunities to travel and visit amazing places. Well, if you had the opportunity of living abroad, what country would you choose?, In my case, I'd choose Australia, it's a friendly and beautiful country.
Sports are nice to see and practice. There are sports for all kind of people, ball sports, extreme sports, indoor, outdoor and so on. I don't practice sports, but I like to watch so sports on tv from time to time. I think rugby, formula 1 and hockey are great and nice. What sport do you like the most?, Do you practice any sport? or Do you just watch them on tv too?
Friends are very important, they listen to us, makes us laugh and even cry, share our good and bad times. Among all of them are the ones who are always there, no matter day, time or situation and that makes them "best friends". I have just a few friends, but they are real friends. My best friend is called Marcelo, he is an English teacher too, we studied together for a long time. He is very nice, funny, confident, generous and intelligent.
Legends and myths are an important part of many cultures, they explain events, give reasons for unexplained phenomena and tell the origin of things. One of my favorite legends is the story of Medusa, she was a beautiful, innocent and attractive young woman who was cursed by Athenea because of Zeus. She turned into an evil woman who can kill with just a single look.
Families are very important and of course jobs too. Each member of the family has his/her own activities. My wife is called Natalia. She is a teacher, she teaches Spanish and she works at Elena Bettini School.
I have a lot of favorite things, they are nice and great. What I love the most is ice cream, they are cool!!!! I love computers, watching movies and English too. I like reading, playing music and going out. Something I don't like is having beans for lunch and the things I hate are football, reggaeton and cumbias.
There are lots of celebrations around the world, people have different things to celebrate and remember. One of my favorite international celebrations is Saint Patrick's Day, this is an Irish festivity that honours Saint Patrick, the Patron Saint of Ireland. There are joyful parades and fireworks in the cities, people dress in green, drink some beer and eat Irish food.
