Easy Ways To Practice Another Language

Learning English, or another language, takes commitment. Getting started with a strange and difficult vocabulary, an extensive grammar and polite expressions can be complicated but a lot of fun. The best ways to practice and learn on an easy way another language while you are travelling are; read newspapers, magazines, and books published in that language, at the same time you are practicing your new language and you are getting inform with the last situations around the world and increase you education with literature of another country. You can also play games that includes new words, in this form you are having fun and learning. Chat with friends of a foreign language, while you will be talking with your friends of a lot of interesting subjects, you are practicing your grammar and writing.

And other thing you can do while you are traveling could be listening to music on that language. Obviously you will enjoy your journey with good music.

An idea that almost everyone does, is to watch television and good TV programs on that language you want to learn. In this way you will practice your vocabulary, phonics and new expressions, at the same time you are getting relax and using in a good way you’re travelling time.

Food to reflect

The junk food or fast food is considered the guilty of a lot of diseases in the world. Nowadays the people do prefer to eat fast food in any restaurant and doesn’t matter if it is good or not for your organism, than going to your home and eat some healthy food. Obviously this attitude is been encourage in young people by the globalization, you can find a Mc Donald’s in every country you can visit. That’s why Super Size me is a documentary film in which Morgan Spurlock decides to eat nothing but McDonalds for the three meals. Breakfast, dinner and lunch for 30 days in an attempt to discover whether it is healthy or not for you. Evidently the results were clear, everything in Spurlock health got bad and all the effects were negative. That’s why the doctors recommended Spurlock to stop the experiment and try to recover his good health. Unfortunately for his health he decided to continue with the experiment to show everyone how bad is to eat this kind of food.

The success of the film was the only thing positive in all the Spurlock’s experience. After watching the movie now people certainly knows not to super size the orders at Mc Donald’s.

My movies

Going to the cinema with friends is something I really enjoy, or prepared a good meal and invite some friends and later on watch a good movie is something I do usually. I simply can say that watching movies, reading and listen to music are my favorite’s hobbies.

But Watching movies is not only what I like to do in mine free time, But also in the future I want to produce someone’s.

For these reason the cinema in my life is very important that’s why I have a lot of favorites movies. Some of them I like the way they are produced also I like the message they give to people or others I simply like because I identify myself with them.

As I said I have a few that I considered as my favorites movies, those are:

HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS, in this one I like the message them send us and is what a real Christmas is about. And that only matter the love to each other’s and the real friendship.

HOW TO LOSE A GUY IN 10 DAYS , in this I simply identify with the protagonist and this is not only a film for lady’s but also for guys and to learn how to have a good relationship.

ELSA Y FRED: in this film I really learn something important for live and is to enjoy every single minute I have, and no matter the age you always could find your true love and share fantastic experiences.

HANNIBAL: well in this film I like a lot of things. First and the most important because my favorite actor in the world and in history acts here Anthony Hopkins. And also I like the way the writers made the protagonist Dr. Hannibal Lecter to be. Is an incredible person who knows a lot of things, is very intelligence and has a persuasion power like no other in the world.

ENCHANTED: in this film first I like the soundtrack its amazing and also I like the simple way which the protagonist act in front every problem or situation in live she has. For her there are no problems or bad feelings in everything you can obtain something good and act in a positive way.

ECUADORIAN HERO

The three times World Champion and Olympic gold in Atlanta, the best Ecuadorian athlete in history, Jefferson Perez, is for me considered one of the Ecuadorians heroes.

He had given to Ecuador one of the biggest awards in sport history. But his humbleness is what make of him a really hero. Nobody in Ecuador will forget the day in which for the first time we had our Olympic gold medal. That medal was really important in our history. Was the first step to start believing in ourselves as a big country who can reach important things.

But no just one time Jefferson Perez gave us a big achievement. So later on, there was any surprise to see him winning three times World Champion.

Finally, to end his successful career he tried once again to win the Olympic medal in Beijing, China. Unfortunately he could not. But his work didn’t stop there. After leaving the race courses, Jefferson is looking for other methods of achievement in his life. Currently he contributes to society through the foundation that carries his name, providing health, education and nutrition to children and teenagers.

General editor

As we watched in the movie, the job of the general editor is the most important in the newspaper. He is the responsible of the entire newspaper. The general editor has to verify the news that are published, he has to take care of the group of people that work in the newspaper, specially of the journalist, and is the responsible of the consequences that the news can bring to the journalist and the entire community.

He has to not only we aware of the veracity of the news, but also he has to take care of a top quality in the editorial line. One of the most important duties of the general editor is to know all the important people in the country. The journalist investigates, but with the help of the general editor that know a lot of sources, is that the job of the journalist is easier and they can be efficient.

The job of the general editor is to know all the important situations that are happening in the country, and in the world. In other words, he has to know about everything, knowing this, he says to the journalist what to research, to give the people the truth of what is happening in the world.

He also has to be the link between the journalist and the owner of the newspaper. He has to supervise the news until them are published.

So the job of the general editor is very important. He is the face of the newspaper, is the link between the source and the journalist, the community with the newspaper, and the journalist with the owner of the newspaper. As everyone see, been general editor is not easy, perhaps the most interesting, but the most difficult job also.

HOLIDAY

The entire holiday I spent with my family and I did so much fun activities that I wouldn’t even imagine.

The first days, I was very bored in home, and immediately I supposed that it would be the same way all the holiday.

Luckily, my brother and his wife came to Quito to visit her family, and they invited all of us to know their new home. So we (older sister, brother, sister in law, parents of my sister in law) went near Ibarra, where is the house. Over there, we enjoyed a lot. The house is very big, and had a huge backyard where you can do a lot of things. So we practiced sports and compete with each others. It was very entertaining.

With my sister in law prepared a lot of activities, we had a special meal and my sister, my sister in law and myself organized a championship of all kind of games. First was poker but always won the guys. So we decided to play bingo and jenga. This was awesome, because was women against men. Of course the ladies were the winners at the end of the evening.

The next day, we prepared a cinema day. All of us agree in two movies, those were very funny, but we finished watching them very early and none of us wanted to go to bed. So my brother had the best idea of all the holyday, on making a bonfire. Then we prepared some snacks, and started talking about everything. Then my sister, started telling a scary story, and everyone continued with them. When we realized the hour, it was very late night, but all of us were very scared so anyone wanted to go to bed. So we stayed awake all the night, and the next day we prepared to come back to Quito.

As I said, it was very nice holiday, not only for all the fun activities I did, but be the good time I spent with my family. Perhaps when a holiday is coming up, what the young people want is, to go to parties, clubbing, go to beach with friends or with our boyfriend, specially go as far as we can of our parents. But in this holiday I learned that I can spend a good time with grownups and do a lot of fun activities with them.

The person who I admire.

The person who I admire not only for what he does but also because the kind of person he is and by all the good actions he makes in benefit of others.

Is Roger FEDERER. Why admire Roger?

Considering that I love tennis and that I wanted to be a tennis player I see in Roger that type of tennis player that I would like to be.

Well, but I also admire him because he is the best tennis player in history considerer not only by his fans but also by others great tennis players and by a lot of journalists. He won a lot and very important championships singles and doubles, nowadays he has the best game, his shots are considered the best ones and his technique is almost perfect.

But I do not admire him only for his game and his achievements, but also because Roger is an admirable person in and out courts. He never disrespects the people that go to see him throwing his racquet or fighting for a point no with his rivals and never with his lines or chairs umpires. He doesn’t have any problem giving autographs to his fans and talking after tough matches with the journalist for long moments. As a difference that other players have.

Roger since he was 15 years old said to everyone he will be the number 1, as a difference of his tennis friends that dream to turn professionals or to be in the top 100. For this reason a lot of people considered him as an arrogant but it is not true. He is just ambitious.

Well as I said I admire him because all charity acts he does. He also has a foundation in South Africa. The RFF supports education, sports and fun activities in places with little or no money at all. The idea is to permit the children to make their future become reality.

As you see Roger is very humble, perhaps he had won a lot of titles, he is famous all over the world, has millionaire contracts by all the sponsors he has, but he doesn’t forget about the poor ones and specially the children.

As Roger said: IS NICE TO BE IMPORTANT BUT IS MORE IMPORTANT TO BE NICE.
