That'll teach 'em


Today we watched a T.V. programme about the schools and how's this change?, in my opinion we can find that it was true in the past the schools were very strict and with a lot of rules, but now the most important is the knowledge need rephrasing.


I think that this program it's a good experience for everybody in special the teenagers they'dunderstand a lots of rules and a positive things was the lessons on Latin, it's was wonderful because they felt identified with the subject.
Finally it's a good idea to improve the life and for change in a good way.

the old man and the sea


On an old island existed a big and extraordinary story about, an old man and his enormous wishes to catch a fantastic fish.


This man has a little friend, a boy, and he only wanted to go again with the old man but he said that's it's impossible because at the moment he has a lucky boat. That's why the old man goes alone and with the hope to see the big fish.


When he was on the sea, he found a place quiet and deep, he thought that this is the perfect place and he was right, he could put the harpoon inside the mouth of the beautiful fish, but he was too big and strong. For this reason, he was towed by the fish for a long time.


But finally in a special moment he can see the big fish outside the sea and for him this was wonderful and spectacular. Unfortunately he lost the fish and the night started and at this moment when he understands that the only opportunity to catch the fish is in twilight because he needs a magic moment.


Finally he never caught the big fish it is only the representation of the ambition of the old man and the game of the beautiful fish.

manners in different countries










Around the world we can find differences and similarities between the manners, an example of this can be found between Switzerland and Colombia.



The first topic was men and women and what's the man's role? and in this respect the two countries are very similar when you're dating. For example the man waits for a woman to go through the door first and pay for a woman on the first date but the difference is that in Switzerland the man doesn't kiss the woman after the first date and in Colombia it's normal.



Also another topic is when you're visiting people, in Colombia you have to arrive 10 minutes before the start and you have to bring a present but in Switzerland you have to arrive on time, at exactly tome and I think that's impossible but maybe for them is OK.
