My Career D:

Hi!!, today I am going to talk about my career.

 It was very difficult decide which career I wanted to follow. As a humanist in High School, one of my options was Law. I wanted to be a lawyer and collaborate to make justice in the world, but one of my options was also Anthropology, because I loved the idea of studying people. So here I am, studying Anthropology.  

To be honest, I have no idea of what kind of job I would like to have. It depends on what major I’ll take at the end of my second year. There are three possibilities: Social Anthropology, Physical Anthropology, and Archeology. I’m not sure which of them I will take, but at the moment, I have two options. First, I imagine myself like an archeologist. If I take this way, I will probably work in a museum, taking care of collections and some things like that. I would like to participate in an investigation, too. Traveling to places where there are archeological sites and contribute to investigate them.

My another option is to be a physical anthropologist, that because I spend much time watching television shows such as Bones, and I don’t know, I want to be a Dr. Brennan too. But seriously, I am very attracted to studying human beings from a biological perspective. If I take this way, I hope to work as a forensic anthropologist in a laboratory or in PDI.

But I don’t know, I have the rest of this year and all the next  to decide what I’m going to do ;)

Pets!

Hi every one! Today, I’m going to talk about pets.  

Sadly, I don’t have any pets. I used to have a cat called Sushi, and a dog called Diva, but I don’t have them anymore. But I really love animals, I need to give love to something and care about it. Maybe it is that I miss my past pets so much, but now I want another animal. I am very classy, so I prefer typical pets, not something like a snake (although snakes are very cool, in my opinion). I want a cat. I don’t care what kind of cat; I love every type of them.  I just want a cat.

Because in my family there are not pets now (after we lost the cat and the dog, it was very sad for all in my home) it was difficult to convince my mom of having another pet, but with my brothers we convinced my mom. A friend of one of my brothers has a pregnant cat, he will give us one of her babies when they be ready to be separated of their mom. Now we are expecting a cat for December. I’m so happy! I miss Sushi and Diva so much, but now I will give love to a little cat. If is male, he may be called Helsing (like Van Helsing), and if it is a female, she will be Zelda <3

Cute baby cat for you guys :3

Food :3

Hello everyone!!

So, I’m going to talk about food. Food is a little bit difficult issue to me, because I’m a vegetarian, but apart meat, I don’t eat any product which has a dead animal on it. I know, it can be weird, since I eat eggs and drink milk, but  for example, if the product has animal grease, I won’t eat it.

Being vegetarian has been very good for me, I tried a big variety of food, mostly normal things adapted to a vegetarian person. For example, I really love sushi, but I can’t eat normal sushi because it has fish, so I eat sushi with carrot or cheese. My favorite thing about being vegetarian is that I love try new things, so I always trying new food, obviously, without meat. But my favorite food ever always be spaghetti. I love spaghetti, with my life. I could eat it all day, every day. My mom make spaghetti with nuts. It’s amazing, I love it.

A concert

Hi! Today I’m going to talk about one of my favorite experiences. Last year, in May, I went to my first concert. I mean, I had been to other concerts before, but they were small gigs. The concert I’m talking about was the first big thing that I attended with one of my best friends. I saw Demi Lovato at Movistar Arena.  Demi is an American singer, she started at Disney, but now she has her own career as a successful artist. She does mainly pop music. She is such a good singer.

When I was about thirteen or fourteen years, I was a very big fan of her so when I had the possibility to see her in concert, I was so happy.

I remember the people that went too, they were so varied. Me and my friend talked with a girl three years younger than us, but   in general, the place was full of teenagers of our age (seventeen, eighteen) and parents with their children.

It was such an amazing concert. She sang songs of her last album at that time, but she also sang old songs. At that time, people still had Frozen fever, so when she sang Let it go the audience went wild.  I was so happy, and I will always be grateful with my friend for took me with her.

A country i'd like to visit

Hi everyone!

It have been always my dream go to China.  When I was very young, like eight or nine,  I saw some pictures of the Forbidden City, and since then I've been intrigued by their culture. Then I watched Mulan, and almost immediately became one of the places I want to visit when I have the opportunity.  I even went to Chinese classes for almost three years, but I did not learn much of the language. 

China has so much transcendence, being one of the most important empires of the world history. I have curiosity for things like they, along the country history, were based on monarchy and dynasty. Like The Great Wall of China, it was built by many dynasties with the objective of defend the Empire from Mongolians. Like everybody, that is almost my only knowledge about the country, but that is the reason I want to visit it so much. I wouldn’t go there to live or study, I only want to know it better, so when I have time, and money, I will spend a time in China, learning about it, the language, their costumes and history.

This is the Great Wall.

Commenting News

Hello everyone!
To this task, I chose ‘Ferguson marks Michael Brown anniversary with silence and protest’, because I consider this news a very important Topic.

The racism can’t be conceived like something in our society. Being discriminated is one of the worst thing to happen to a human. To discriminate a person is horrible, in all its forms. So people being separated because their skin color, results incompressible to me.

The people in Ferguson, making manifestations for civil rights appears to me like a very sad reality, a reality where we can’t be ourselves, where there is injustice, where is no piece of love.
I really hope this people can be heard, to make their society better and guarantee people their rights.

BBC Learning English

I never dedicate time to find sites that teach English free, so with visiting the BBC site was totally new for me. And I totally loved it. The web page is very simple, it offers you the activities corresponding to your English level. 

One of the activities that I found, was the suffixes. It was very useful. I learnt the meaning of some words. I found the concept of ‘root’ very useful to learn suffixes.

The part that I liked the most was the 6 minutes Vocabulary, where two people talk about the lesson. Is very useful to practice how we understand English.

I also check the Past perfect continuous, session 2.

In my opinion, it’s a very useful site!
