The Interpreter

      I've enjoyed reading this book and seeing the movie. This is a very interesting story because you always thinking about what can happen after reading each chapter. It's also interesting because I think that similar situations are happening in some countries in Africa. Too much political corruption, civil wars, etc. This book helps you understand these situations. Mi favorite character in this book is Tobin. I think he's a good detective, intelligent and he does a good job. I recommend this book to other ESL students because they can learn new vocabulary, write sentences and paragraphs more easily and better.

Entertainment and Education


   I'm discovering the world of video games now playing with my nephews. When I was a child, I didn't have much access to video games and I played board games. These games are less popular than video games, but are educational, not violent and provide entertainment. My favorite game was "Treasure Route" (the route of the treasure). The game is similar to Monopoly but oriented in the time of pirates when they were negotiating, buying and selling properties in different cities through which they passed. In this game you can become the richest man in the territory or the poorest if you lose all your property and money.

My Favorite Season


     I think every season is good and not so good. I like spring because the weather is good, not too hot; The days are longer and you can go out with friends for walk and talk with friends in bars taking snacks and drinks more often. You can also play sports outside. I like the fall because it's not too cold and if your visit natural parks at this time of year you can enjoy wonderful views of nature. The colors of nature are beautiful in autumn. The winter time is hard the days are shorter, but at this time of year you can enjoy the family at home, read more and watch TV more often. In this country you can enjoy winter sports more often if you like these. Summer is my least favorite season because in my country it is brutal. The temperatures are very high, but if you like the beach is the best season to enjoy. I hope the summer in Canada is smooth and not too hot. In conclusion, I prefer the seasons where the temperatures are pleasant as the fall and spring.

The best transportation

Statistics say that the safest mode of transportation is by plane. It is also the fastest. The main disadvantage is that it is very expensive. I use the plane when it is the only option to travel, for example, when I travel to Spain from any country where I am. I prefer to travel by train when traveling inside the country because it is safe, cheap and you can enjoy the view. In many countries there are trains that can travel at high speed (300 km / h) and comfortably. The bus is unsafe and slower, but when I have no money to travel the best option is to travel by bike because it doesn't pullute the enviroment, and gives physical exercise.
