B.F.F.

Wow! It's so difficult to choose a best friend. During all my life I had a lot of different bests friends, and actually I have a lot of friends that are very importants to me. Like Francisca, Micchela and Bárbara we are friends since 8 years ago, ¡or like Melanny since 13 years ago!. I have good friends in my University too, like José, Andrés , Alfonsina and Paolo (the last, my boy friend since 4 years ago). And I consider my friends my mother, father and brother too ( we have very good relationship).

Like you read, I have very nice people who supports me, in the good and bad moments in my life, but if  I have to write and choose one, I think I will talk about Micchela.
We met in 2009 in my school (Liceo 7 de niñas), but we began to be friends in 2010, our last year in that (terrible) place. And was love at first sight hahaha. We actually support each other, in all topics of our lifes, we have a lot in common, we like to go out and walk, talk, visit museums, parks, libraries, fairs, concerts, we like to discuss about politics, society, art etc. We were together in important desicions and moments... well... is a good partner :)

The country I would like to visit

There are a lot of countries that I want to visit, specially in Latinoamerica. But I have to chose one, so today I want to talk about Mexico.

I would like to visit this country because I am very interested in Precolumbian pyramids (there are a lot in Mexico), in there relationship with the Dead, there culture, historic places, the Frida's Museum, and more.
 
I want to know everything about this country and his cities, not in the touristic way. With this I mean that I want to know there culture and customs deeply, not superficially. I imagine me traveling in bus a lot, walking till being tired, spends hours knowing little and unknowing places... humbly enjoy this country, and respectfully enter to the ancient pyramids.

Maybe in the future I would like to study here, because there are some Universities were are musical careers, but I'm not sure, 'cause I'm insecure about my professional future like composer.

Travelling is something that everyone should do (with company or alone).. Opens your mind, soul and culture. ¡We live in the same world!

Welcome

Hi again!
Well, this is a new stage so I have to introduce myself again.
My name is Bernarda, I'm 23 years old and I study Music Composition (I'm in the fifth year of the career).
I think my weakness in English is that I don't speak fluently, sometimes my mind works faster than my mouth hahaha so, I can express myself, tell stories and say what I feel... but I have to do it calmly and with no preassure, otherwise I make mistakes. And my other weakness is my shortage of vocabulary... sometimes I want to say something but I don't find the words inmediatly! So I start to speak Spanglish.

And my strength is that I understand the 95% of the words that the people say in English. It's easy because I saw a lot of movies and series in English and my ear is used to listen to this language.

I think I can survive if a plane "throws" me in the middle of New York. hehehehe

LEVEL 4 - Second Term 2015

Blogging experience

I will talk about my experience in this blog.
First I cost me a little bit write things without a dictionary. But late I tried to do that thinking all words, even I did slowly. I never had a blog, because I don't like to write in a public website that unknown people read it, but was an obligation in my english class (hahaha).

However I tried to do this well, take advantage of this learning to speak better . Even I have an example: Actually I'm in Bogotá Colombia participating in a Festival of Kid's Theatre with a lot of people form other countries. And one of the people are form Israel and only speaks english, so we have to comunicate with they in english. And I've notice that I have less difficulties to express myself and say basics things and tell stories.

But my writing skills are less developed that my speaking skills, because even I felt a progress. I think is good work watch movies without subtitles and listen to english music.

In the future I will like to include in the future is about: fears, books, places, and spiritual things. And maybe will be good that the blog corrections are in each publish page for knowing our mistakes and correct immediately.

Movies

It's difficult to chose a favorite movie, because there are a lot of amazing and incredible movies from important directors, but I will talk about the movie "The Truman Show" by Peter Weir.

This movie is about a man that lives a "perfect" life in a "perfect" neighborhood  with a "perfect" wife, etc. But one day he began to feel strange things in his normal life... he felt that everyone watched  and controlled him, all people knew his name without knowing him,  and realized that he didn't knew other places that warn't his home, that his marriage and frienships was a fake, (even one day walking misteriously  a spotlight felt down in the middle of an street) realized that his life was part of a television show. The best part is the scene that discover the final of his reality: the wall that

I liked this movie because spite of is a fiction story, a lot of things that happens are like our actual lifes. We are all part without knowing of a economic system that control's us, in our ways of eat, dress, behavior and think. And is a good and interesting movie too (good actors and script).
I like so much this kind of movies, that makes me think over about my reality.

Music

Usually the music is considered an important thing in our lifes, something vital, that make us feel a lot of emotions... and yes! That's right, and is curious that when I tell that I'm studying so "important topic", most of the people didn't know that "music" is an actually serious art too: they considered the music is only a hobby.
And yes, sometimes the music students forget about the real reason that we choose to studying music: when we start to play and fun singing and dancing and was actually a ¡hobby! And late, when we were young started to investigate the types of instrument and music gendres that exists, and we felt a lot of emotions, realize that the music is really something important in our lifes and decided to study music. I that said the music students forget about the real reason becouse sometimes, the university gives you so many courses and no time to enjoy it and really work in own projects.

However... talking about me, I started to listening music since I was in my belly's mum. My family loves music, there are a constant "soundtrack" in my life. The are music for all stages in my life, like Bobby McFerrin, Lambarena, Dave Brubeck, all kinds of Bossa Novas, Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, Yes, Mauricio Redolés, Fito Paez, Pink Floyd, Nick Drake, Bjork, Bach, and so much more! All this music thanks to my parents and his thousands of cassetes an dc's.
They give me a little piano toy when I was 4 year old, and since that moment I took the music like part of my being.

I don`t have a favorite artist or band ( I hate this question!!) because is so relative and changing... but, if you ask now, comes to my brain: Aca Seca Trío.
