Creative writing piece

The roses are red,
the sky is blue
and my eyes
are shining for you.

I like the sea,
I like the moon,
but more than that
...I like you.

The grass is green,
your lips are pink,
and this poem sucks!
...don't you think?

Pame...in fifty words

I'm a fun person who has a lot of friends. I'm not so quiet, but I can live with that. According to Anto...I'm very stubborn...and I think that is true! If I want something...I find it. I'm a little bit crazzy but this is my best feature.

Blenheim Palace

Main Ideas:

I have to prepare a class for a subject and the topic is the Baroque of 1700s.
One of the most beautiful examples of this style is the Blenheim Palace, situated in Woodstock, just 8 miles from Oxford (England).

Blenheim was building began in 1705 by Sir John Vanbrugh, to celebrate victory over the French during the Wars of the Spanish Succession. The building is one of the biggest palaces of the country. It was a present of Queen Anna to the First Duke of Marlborough.

When tourists visit this place, they can see examples of craftsman ship and treasures collected over the last 300 years. Moreover, the Palace has beautiful and spacious gardens, like The Pleasure Gardens.

The palace was the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill, so people who visit it can see the ‘Churchill Exhibition’, set around the room where he was born.
In 1987, Blenheim Palace was declared Universal Patrimony of the Humanity by the UNESCO.

Personal reaction:

In my opinion Blenheim as beautiful as Versailles (France) is.I think that is an interesting place to visit, full of history.

Vocabulary:

Craftsman: a person who practices or is highly skilled in a craft; artisan.
artesano.

The beauty....a big problem?

Recently, I read an article on a magazine, about ''the beauty''. It talks about the conceptions of beauty in different cultures, and that is projected in our's called the western culture.
The writter gave an example of an old village called Padaungs. It's women, known as '' the giraffe women'' wear many rings on their necks to measure they beauty. The padaungs insert to little girls rings on their necks, provoking a stretching of their necks wich is forced and painful.
From our point of view, these forms of beauty are very cruel. In spite of that, impositons of the forms of beauty of the present western society are even worse than the padaung's. Now a day, being beautiful means bieng thin, not having wrinkles, having a perfect body, etc.
These impositions, wich affect mostly women, provoke a decrase of people's self-steam, an increase of the fear of not being accepted by others, it originates a rejection of sexual relationships, among other problems.
Western women try to avoid these problems through painful, tedious and dangerous practices that mistreats the body.
The writter proposes that we leave aside the ''new impositions'' of beauty and that we return to revaluate the power of communication, the feelings and the sensitivity in order that people can accept themselves just as they are.

Something about me......

I'm Pamela, I'm 19 years old...and this is my short story:

I am from Mar del Plata(MDQ), a beatiful city in the coast, but right now I'm living in Tucuman with my family. I have two brothers, but they are youngers than me, and I used to have a rabbit called Andres, but I had to give him to a friend because I couldn't bring him with me to Tucuman.

When I lived in MDQ and when the weather was good, I used to go the beach after school every day. Of course, I had my responsabilities too (hahaha)...for example I used to study English on an institute and went to practice swimming.

But one day something happened! A few years ago, when I was 15 or 16 (I don' remember now) my dad told me that we were moving to another province. At first I didn't like the idea because I had all my friends in MDQ and everyhing that I wanted there. But now...I can say that I really like Tucuman...it's a nice place to live. However, I go back to Mar del Plata every summer and I stay there two or three months, it depends of when start my classes.

I'm studing Tourism in the University, it's my second year studing and I think that it's a great carrier. I like every class...or almost every class, because they're enjoyable. Fo0r example, this blog is for my English class. But I have to say something...to say the thruth, I hate write!...sorry Charlie! ...but I'm doing my best...I promise!

Ok...this is not everything about me....but I think that is all for now!
