Fly to the moon.

Hi, today I want to talk about my biggest dream… to go out from the planet earth. Since I was child, I always like to see the stars by hours imagining what there are on that far, far, far places. I used to watch (until today) universe documentaries, like the ones of Discovery Channel or History Channel, etc.
 Since we were child, in the school teach us about the solar system, the galaxies, planets, etc., but some times I wonder myself if all that is real, are we really floating in an infinite universe?. I know that the whole science has studies and investigations about this topic since seventeenth century, and even very old civilizations and cultures has the idea of planets going around the sun.  I don’t really doubt about those things, but for me is something so incredible, I think that we know maybe that the earth is round or we can know the earth’s size, but I’m sure that there aren’t many people who have seen this with their own eyes.  

I want to see some day the earth from the space, I want to walk on the moon , or even farther  on Mars… and feel and see that all that things that we know are real and that we really are in the middle of nothing. If this happen one day, I will be the happiest man in the world, just thinking in the fact of landing in mars, or see the earth from the moon, makes me get really exited. I really keep the hope that one day I will can go to the space, because now at days the technology is develop itself very, very fast, so I think that on the future it would be easier and more common the space travels for everyone.

Japan!

Hi:

 today I’ll tell you about a place I’d go if I’d have all the money I need. And that place would be Japan. I like a lot of places and countries also, but this one is the most mysterious for me, and the way that they live I think that is very interesting.
 I don’t know really much things about Japan, only that they are really good sea food eaters, and also that they eat a completely different diet than us. I know also that they have a lot of martial arts, like “ninjutzu” that is the one that ninjas practice.
One of the things that most call my attention is the scenery of Japan. On that island just the 18% of the land is habitable, the rest are hills, mountains and valleys where a city couldn’t be built. After I spent the money visiting tourist places, I would like to go to the country side and work and live with the people for know by this way their life style and customaries. By the way I would need to learn Japanese language and writing, something really exiting I think.
I think that Japanese people have a lot of things to teach us to make better our lifes.

Spartacus the series

Hello Classmates:
 Today I will talk about Spartacus, a series that came out the last year, and it have had a lot of success. This series have been produced by “Starz”, a film studio that makes series based on historical stories, like Spartacus (based on the story of the slave in the roman empire) or Pendragon, a series based on the Arthur King legend.
 I watch Spartacus for first time on April of this year when I went home, and my parents had bought the full series on DVD. And when I saw it I got trapped with the plot instantaneously.  The plot is very intense and the script is awesome, the way that the characters speak is like heard speaking an antique roman.
The Series show the life of Spartacus as a gladiator since the moment when he gets into the barracks for first time until he riot with all the gladiators against their roman master or “numinus”. On the series you will see a lot of action, blood, suspense and scenes with sexual content. I think that all this characteristics together show very well the roman culture and life style and that is why I like so much this series.

See you
