GOING TO THE BEACH WITH MY FRIENDS


Our last day on the beach was very nice. We weren't in a hurry and we really enjoyed ourselves. We arrived on the beach at about 10 am to find the tide pretty high still. So we set up our chairs just outside the tide's reach. Of course by the middle of the afternoon, the tide had gone out quite a bit so now our chairs were pretty far from the water's edge.
At one point, Felix came to us and told us he had to pee. Instead of go and look for a bathroom, we told him to just go out and pee in the ocean.
In a few moments, we said "Hey, check out Felix". He had walked just to the edge of the water, ankle deep, and dropped his pants. There he stood, using the ocean as his personal urinal, and us without a camera hahaha what a day we had lots of fun!!!!

EAGLES


As we all know already many animals are now in danger of becoming extinct .

One animal that is in danger of becoming extinct, just to name one is the Eagle.


From my point of view the better way to protect Eagles is by raising substantial funds for a project to protect their environment and avoid bothering them.


On the other hand a law must be created, in order to decrease the illegal trafficking and the damage of their environment. with though laws, authorities and community will be forced to work together in order to help endered species.


Well this is my opinion of how we can protect Eagles, of course we should protect all kind of animals, but we have to take that big step so we can ensure a better live for our kids in the near future.

HALLOWEEN

The Celts, who lived 2,000 years ago in the area that is now Ireland, the United Kingdom, and northern France, celebrated their new year on November 1. This day marked the end of summer and the harvest and the beginning of the dark, cold winter, a time of year that was often associated with human death. Celts believed that on the night before the new year, the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead became blurred. On the night of October 31, they celebrated Samhain, when it was believed that the ghosts of the dead returned to earth.

During the celebration, the Celts wore costumes, typically consisting of animal heads and skins, and attempted to tell each other's fortunes. When the celebration was over, they re-lit their hearth fires, which they had extinguished earlier that evening, from the sacred bonfire to help protect them during the coming winter.
By the 800s, the influence of Christianity had spread into Celtic lands. In the seventh century, Pope Boniface IV designated November 1 All Saints' Day, a time to honor saints and martyrs. It is widely believed today that the pope was attempting to replace the Celtic festival of the dead with a related, but church-sanctioned holiday. The celebration was also called All-hallows or All-hallowmas (from Middle English Alholowmesse meaning All Saints' Day) and the night before it, the night of Samhain, began to be called All-hallows Eve and, eventually, Halloween. Even later, in A.D. 1000, the church would make November 2 All Souls' Day, a day to honor the dead. It was celebrated similarly to Samhain, with big bonfires, parades, and dressing up in costumes as saints, angels, and devils. Together, the three celebrations, the eve of All Saints', All Saints', and All Souls', were called Hallowmas.

DANCE ARTS



The art of dance is one of the most beautiful arts that there are in all over the world, dance can be defined as a sequence of rhythmic steps or movements performed to music, for pleasure or as a form of social interaction.
Here we have some of the kinds of dance that exist.


Folk dance refers to dances developed by groups or communities, as opposed to being made up by a choreographer.


Latin dance is a fast-paced, often sensual, partner dance characterized by sexy hip movements.

Modern dance is a dance style that rejects many of the strict rules of classical ballet, focusing instead on the expression of inner feelings.


Swing dance is a lively dance style in which couples swing, spin and jump together.


Ballet Lithe, flexible, graceful, elegant, poised---if you’re not all of those then it’s time to say farewell to your tutu. In ballet, each movement is an expression of a specific emotion so it must be executed precisely and without flaw.

WRITTING A BOOK REPORT


The title of the story is Eleven by Sandra Cisneros.


The main characters are: Rachel, an eleven year old girl. Mrs. Price, her teacher. Other children in Rachel`s class, including Sylvia Saldivar and Phyllis Lopez.


The character that I found most intersting was Rachel, because she Knew that the teacher was wrong, but she couldn`t assert herself. she thought that it was going to be hard to change the teachers mind so she decided to respect the teachers decision, although Mrs. Price was wrong.


Te central problem of the story begings when, on Rachel`s eleven birthday, Mrs. Price asks the class who owns an ugly, old sweater. When Sylvia says it belongs to Rachel, Mrs Price believes Sylvia and insists that Rachel put it on. Rachel becomes embarrassed and begings to cry. After a while, Phyllis remembers that it`s really her sweater. Rachel returns the sweater to Phyllis, but Mrs. Price doesn`t acknowledge her mistake or apologize to Rachel, whose birthday has been ruined by the incident.


Well, I enjoy the story because that could happen to anyone, specially to those who are working under a person in a position of authority, so I recommend this book because it show you a very important lesson.

TUNING OUT THE TV



It´s true that nowadays talevision is becoming more a need than a luxury for people.

In my case television was almost everything for me, because you can always find something intersting to watch in it: like movies, sports, news, etc...
Also there are things that goes around television, for instance my friends and I usually talk about tv programs.
I have to say that television right now "doesn´t exist for me anymore" because I don´t have the enough time to watch it, due to school and that thanks to god I finally found a job jajaja so now I have the experience of living without tv. I have to tell you that at the very begining was kind of hard to be without it, because wheter or not you miss your favorite programs, tv series and so on, but now I realize that television is not everething that there is a whole world outside to explore so now whenever I have some free time I try to do something fun, look for new hobbies, places, friends instead of being trapped in my little tv world.
