Come see about me

I'm very bad at eating fruit, because I don't like so much but always trying to eat. I think that I will go to the party all the free days in the next weekend, because is Halloween and I think I will have much time for my hobbies and my friends here in Santiago, but I need to study tomorrow for my phonetics classes.

I have many things that I love doing when I'm on holidays, like sleeping for a long time in the mornings, go to mall with my friends and spend a good time with my parents. But I have one thing that I hate doing in my house, any time and this is it... washing dishes.

All the time I say to myself... "Simona you need to study all days, you need practice English" and in this case, I must remember to practice my english for my phonetic test.

I love all languages , but I have my favorite (with English) and I'd like to learn and this is Italian, I really love that because when I listen to people talking transport myself to a other world where I have a gondola and go to the river singing my favorites songs.

Animal species 'extinction crisis'

In the program 6 Minute English the discusion was about extinction animal species.
Rob and Feifei spoke about the illegal trade in wildlife, Rob sayd that 200 governments had been meeting in Bangkok to talked about how to tackle this big problem, but before to entrance in the main plot of discussion, they made a question for the listeners.

When did the dodo bird become extinct?

a) In the late 1600's

b) In the late 1700's

c) In the early 1900's

In this program after the questions they talked about the many words and phrases that they learnt in their program.

• hunted 
• extinct 
• dead as a dodo  
• conservation groups 
• slaughter 
• seizure 
• poachers 
• a transit route 
• endangered species 

Feifei and Rob, discused about the expression "dead as a dodo" they make reference about the extincted bird, and can be used this expression to describe something that was completely dead or no longer working.

they said that some experts were predicting a global 'extinction crisis'. So it's an extremely urgent stop this situation because this problem was increasing. They took a references with Mary Rice from the Environmental Investigations Agency and David Shukman, BBC correspondent. She said that the function how some people organised this illegal trade like the people never been intercepted because they taken many precautions, and he said that exist many things for made like having an international agreement clearly together a police co-operation and political will to halt the killing.

I really love this program because it open a vision about this big problem, because the people threaten with life of the most vulnerable. This situations make me think that this world is very sad, because the people kill animals for its skins, horn, etc, or for enjoyment, instead of made it for save them life or because they need something to eat.

This situation wasn't unusual because since that the humans made weapons that they killed any thing that they see and thay can killed, inclusive other people, always the most vulnerable.

Mark was very shy, he and some friends watched the sea and were talking. Then he saw a girl, she was lovely but he was shy, Mark really likes her but he didn't talk to her. 

He wanted to see her. Maybe in the Café or the cinema, but he didn't see her. Then he went to the disco, and he saw the lovely girl together with Dave, his brother. His heart is broken at the moment and he leaves the disco, but he is still thinking about the girl. The next morning he looked for her but she didn't here.

They wanted to have a good time on their first evening iin Spain and later there was the disco in the square at Comillas, but Mark didn't want to go, he didn't want to eat or dance or talk and laugh, he wanted to sit stay quiet and think about that good looking girl on the ship.

Later he walked into the square at Comillas whit his friends, they found a table and they all sat down here.

Mark looked at the people at the tables near them, while Donna looked sadly at the people dancing neat her... Suddenly he looked at her, and she looked at him, the time stopped and they smiled at time. He stood up and started to walk across to the disco, their hands met.

She wanted to dance now, he wanted to smile now, with him... with her.

The others watched and smiled, and Dave, Mark's brother smiled too, he was happy because he made a plan for her brother, and his plan worked.

I like this book because is a good romantic story and very funny. I think that, this idea to tell one history but since two different looks is a good idea because you can know all about the characters and when they are see each other. The book is very easy for reading, I had fun so much because I think that the girl never meets the shy boy. I think the author is good because he can draw people with easy reading.
