What do you see in this picture? Well, at first sight, I thought it was colorful cooked spaguetti. It would be really fun if you could find it on the menu of any restaurant. Likely, I would ask this picturesque dish. What flavour could it has? But shortly after, I realized that it´s too thick to be spaguetti. So, what if it´s electric cables? We´re used to see films where someone has to choice what color cable cut in order to deactivate a bomb. Oh yes, red cable is always the key. However, this thing is quite flexible to be electric cables. Finally, I have come to the conclusion that this eye-catching noodles must be licorice. It fits perfectly with licorice: bright colours, texture and shape... and it seems to be ready for sale. And, what do you see in this picture?

Let children getting dirty I´m just started my experience as early childhood educator and currently I´m working in a summer school where children, during their summer holiday, do different activities supervised by monitors. This morning, children have done one of the activities scheduled whose main objective was they had to be as dirty as possible, so first, they have gone to the hairdresser as there, they only use natural ingredients for hair such as cocoa, jam and flour. Later, was the moment of corporal treatment, where the kids themselves could use different paint colours on their body, and finally, they had to put their head into basins full of boiled rice (it was cold) in order to look for lollipops submerged there. Well, I can say this activity has been an outright success. Children have really ended covered of dirt and they were really happy although their parents not so much... this night washing machine has to work a lot.

Winter or summer? Summer, which starts today in the northern hemisphere, is a season hightly appreciated by many people as days are longer, it´s mostly sunny and, alongside this, hot comes too. In fact, here in Spain the temperatures can be higher than 43ºC and it´s unbearable particularly for those who have to work outside. On the other hand, in the winter, in spite of the temperatures isn´t very pleasant either, has more detractors. This might have to do with the connection we usually do it between winter season and feelings of sadness: days are shorter, it´s mostly cloudy and it´s enough cold as not to move away the fireplay. But to my mind, if I had to choose one of that season, I would choose the winter, mainly because it´s much easier stand the cold that cold down, I think. And, what season do you prefer?

Sport and lack of time Why many people say that they haven´t enought time to do exercise? Are they really saying they don´t have time or don´t feel like it? To be honest, we have a rhythm of life more and more accelerated and the truth is that we no longer want to practise sport at the end of the day. However, the majority of people use their own car to move in the city instead of their bicycles or simply to walk. In this way, they could do some exercise (and help the environment). From my personal experiencie, I have always used the car as mean of transport but now, I use my bicycle for going to work or any place and I realized that not only I arrive before than with the car but also I´m getting more active. So, if someone want to do exercise, there is no excuse for do it.

The Three Wise Men are coming! Today I´m very happy as The Three Wise Men will come at our homes tomorrow. I look like a child even I could say I´m happier than them. Here, in Spain, we hold a ride called "La cabalgata de los Reyes Magos" on the afternoon of 5 January. They and their pajes parade in floats and throw candies to children who run excited to collect as many as possible. But the magic moment happens at midnight when The Three Wise Men get in children´s houses for leaving them a gift. If the children have behaved well during last year, they´ll have what they asked for Magics but, if not, they´ll only have Sweet coal. I´m sure I have had a good behave last year so they´ll probably bring me a good gift (although I would not dislike to eat a bit sweet coal too. It´s really tasty).

My first Carrot Cake Today, I´ve been a carrot cake. It´s the first time I made one and I can say I´ll repeat it. I wanted to do something diferent in my free time so I thought that it´d good idea doing a cake, but... which one? Then, I started watching videos on YouTube. Maybe I saw about fifteen videos until I discovered how carrot cake was made. Later, I bought the ingredients: cream cheese, butter, three cinnamon sticks, a lemon, glass, vanilla and, of course, carrots. All this, beside my personal touch has led to my first dessert, carrot cake. Altough I have to practice more, all my guest have been satisfied even I´ve already thought about the next new cake. Do you want to know what it is?

My first time on Italki. This is the first time I use Italki. I didn´t know that this type of websites exist and I´m really surprised. Now I can practise my English and get to speak it fluent. Italky offers a lot of sections where you can do things such as write a notebook (as this), look for a partner for exchange languagues, even find a good teacher. I´m afraid that I´ll spend long time find out new functions here while I´m practicing my level of English. And of course, I´ll recommend this page to my contacts.
