In each one of this section teach about different areas of the culture, that separate in topics. First is the People that it include the history, people and the place where they live, then you can go to the Language, his use and the words, then is the Customs, Where you can see of that it consists his spiritual world, his rituals and beliefs, too you can see the Art, which includes his crafts, music and dances y for last here is an interactive map of the territory of every group.

Precious


The last movie I saw was “PRECIOUS”, I see this film with my boyfriend in the cinema.

Is a North American movie and was directed by Lee Daniels. Is based in the book “Push” by Sapphire.

The protagonist named Precious (Gabourey Sidibe), who gives the title of the movie, is a black young girl, of 16 years old, who remain a pregnant of her second child and it could not have finished the school. Her first daughter has mental problems and does not live with her. Her two children belong to her father, who leaves them. She lives with her mother (Monique), who treats her very badly and fault of the abandon of her father, and don’t do anything else that watch TV and eat. Between all the abuses that she suffers, comes to a school for special cases, where she finds a possibility of arising and recovering his voice, thanks her teacher (Paula Patton), a woman who fights for her pupils.

I like very much this movie, because shows all the suffering of a young woman that the life has not treated well, but that manages to get over, to break the cycle of the poverty and the mistreatment and goes out forward.

The Tacos - My favorite Dish


Hey! Today I will speak about my favorite dish. The true is I not so sure which is, but if I have to choose, I have to say that my favorite dish is the TACOS, becouse they bring me good and funny memories.
The Tacos are mexican food, and they are very popular in other countries, like chile for example, and they have considered actually like a rapid food. They consist in a tortilla of wheat or corn, who doubles or roll to suport diferent kinds of fodd. The clasic ingredients are stews of different meats and vegetables, and sauce spicy, also you can put various mexican dressings.
I dont like meat, so I dont prepared the tacos whith this, but I liked very much the vegetables, therefore I put all vegetables than I can. For prepare the tacos you can buy the tortillas of wheat in the market, and you must put in the oven, for they are warm when you eat them. Then you can cook a stew of vegetables, like zucchini, carrot, champine, onion anything you want and a stew of black beans, this is the best part. I like very much the guacomole, who consist in a mix of avocado and tomato, with garlic and dressings. Too you can do corn with cream.
I like the tacos, because I do it with my boyfriend and we created many thing to cook and we had a great time, also we share with ours families eating them.
Bye!.

The Earthquake

The day of the earthquake I was traveling. I was with two friends and my boyfriend in Ecuador. We didn´t found out what had happened until the following morning, when one of my friend went to buy the breakfast. We worried very much for our families and we turned on the television to see if we could find out about what happened. The news was showing that the great impact of the earthquake was in the south of the country, but it had been so strong that in great part of the country bean felt. Then we went to the telephone booths to try talking to our families, but we can’t because there was no telephonic line, then went to internet and in our mails was good news, all was ok, just was scared.

Bye. Rainbow
