La santa tortura de quererte

¡Oh la santa tortura de quererte
de querete sin tiempo y sin medida,
sin saber si me alientas a la vida,
sin saber si me arrastras a la muerte!

!Oh la sorda pasion de poseerte,
de saber que mi sangre a ti va unida
y nos duele a los dos la misma herida,
y nos ata a los dos la misma suerte!

¡Es dulce vivir agonizando
esta extraña manera de quererte!

¡ Si te beso,mujer, estoy llorando!

Porque junto a la dicha de tenerte
en mi gozo me esta anticipando
la indecible tristeza de perderte.

How do you do? vs How are you?

We often don't know what to say when someone asks you "How do you do?" and yes often say "fine, thanks!". But that's not right... let's see why!
How do you do?
This is not a question. It is another formal way of saying "Hello." It is also very British less than American English.
The correct response is; "Pleased to meet you." or "How do you do." or just "Hello."
We only really use it the first time we meet someone.

How are you?
This is a question that refers about your state, or humor, etc.
A response is; "I'm fine thanks. And you?"

Bored vs Boring

When we want to speak in English, you often stop your conversation because you don't know how to say what you want to say... In this case, this are common words in our native language, because whe usually are without doing nothing... then you say...

Bored is an adjective that describes when someone feels tired and unhappy because something is not interesting or because they have nothing to do.

Eg: When I am bored I look at something funny to do

Boring is an adjective that means something is not interesting or exciting.

Eg: Visiting your grandparents can be boring.

Assignment # 3

Multiculturalism


Is a theory or policy that tries to understand the cultural foundation of each nation that emphasize their cultural diversity.
It's the social (and in some countries legaly-) integration of immigrant people to a national culture, and they could keep their culture, traditions, and identity, but always keeping in mind the new culture that they are in. All the cultures coexist, but there are no superposition, and always protecting the differences as a value.
The multiculturalism is in cultures whose political system promotes freedom (social liberalism) and where there are lots of ethnic groups to join the new nation.
This perspective is making conscience in the different cultural groups about the cultural diversity that exists and we have to live with, it's represented by own identities in the different paths such as religious, national and ethnic groups, trying to make a positive and non violent coexistence.

Talking personal, I've always dream about the Simon Bolívar ideals... an unit Latin American, strong and without rivalry at all, of course, trying to get together all the cultures, but not by making them one, but to know how compatriots are and know about them, to grow ourselves. That's the principle od Multiculturalism, not to discriminate, not to impose our culture, but to show society how the world works if we know how to share and give a piece of us and receive and learn about (kind of) different people.

This helps to recognize the language and speeches that every culture in particular has, but not everything is perfect...
Globalization of economic life has a consumist and lucrative level that makes people with power and domination overflow their limits, causing identity forms less social with the pass of time.
About the multiculturalism policy, it could cause a economic crisis and minority groups get exclude.
ANd of course, not everybody is tolerant, some people aren't prepared or have the willing to accept people different to them

The educational perspective is trying to avoid the relapsed in ethnicentrism trough a critical reflexion of all elements such as: Beliefs, values and cultural prejudice that let intercultural relations. Of course, the way to demonstrate this, is the TLC (Free Comercial Trade) and all that involves in social and educational subject.

You know what I mean?

Hi!
how are you?...
I hope you're fine...
Here I am again, but this time showing something kind of embarrasing, but it's fun though...
It's a kind of crazy story, and it's about how my friends and I made the podcast today about the text message subject.
We supposed to make a poscast for an university subject, and we were all day long doing a psychology report, so we forgot about this homework...
at the end, every works out wrong, because the work of the complete day was lost because of my fault; so, to compensate for the damage, we went to have some ice-cream... it was like 5.00 p.m and it was there when we just remembered about the posdast...
So, we started to write in the outsides of the subway, althoug it's not a complain, because it gives it a urban touch... ^^
Anyway, we did like 10 copies and when we did it like we wanted, we went home (at last)...
that was our non so productive day... but I wouldn't have messed up if I had been more relaxed... because this week hasn't been very good...

Well

take care girls...

I know I owe comments to some of you... specially to Gisselle... but... don't worry...
I will do it... it's just... I rarely have some time for me...

Oh! By the way... I can't go tomorrow to class because I have to work...

Take care...

Kisses for you...

Song

This a song of a famous group.
I translate it for for a classmate so he could get a great mark in a English activity. The song matches to the lyrics so you can sing it in English.
Just try to adjust it.
I'll give you some comments if you guess what song is it...
there it goes...

"No isn't neccesary that I get it,
cuz' there's never served the reason to the heart
the heart doesn't think, no
baby Why do you effort?
You don't have to explain
I`ll always love
your freedom
althought that hurts and yes
I know that you wanna talk
that you need to know about me
but I don't know if I want to know about you
live like this
keep going
thinking of you...
Please let go my hand right now
understand that I have to go
if you don't keep feeling more this love
I don't have anything more to say
Let go my hand right now
I get you
but understand me
every word increases the pain
and a tear wants to go out...
and please don't unstop me
I always find the way of go on
and live
although I don't have it now
baby Doesn't worthwile
why do you want to call
cuz' who was me
isn't here
this is the last dinner
I know that you wanna talk
that you need to know about me
but I don't know if I want to know about you
live like this
keep going
thinking of you...
Please let go my hand right now
understand that I have to go
if you don't keep feeling more this love
I don't have anything more to say
Let go my hand right now
I get you
but understand me
every word increases the pain
and a tear wants to go out..."

If you get it, let me know...
It's a Spanish song...


Take care
