I Will Boost My English Studies I've realized many years ago that learning English is very important if someone want to learn different toppics. Learning a different language you can meet new people from other countries and get to know different cultures. Besides that it helps you to be informed abuot news around the world. And if you use English in your career it helps you to be updated because all we know that main information and updated about many topics are publicated first of all in English. About this subject, I don't know how many accountants, as me, in my city know speak in English fluently, but I guess they are not many, althought this is just an impression of mine , since I don't have relialable information or any source. So, I am determinated to boost my English studies and increase the total hours per week that I practice. Become a more fluent English speaker will help me get a better job or give me more interesting oportunities in my career and future. In recent weeks I haven't written so frequently in this web page, so I will be back writting as usual as I used to do it. But , besides that, I would like to try other sources to practice English. Maybe speaking with a native English speaker would help me.

A Terrible Season For My Soccer Team The local soccer team of my city that plays in the professional league isn't permorming a good season this year. At the beginning of year, just after have been eliminated from Libertadores and Sudamericana Cups, the then coach resigned due to the bad results, event though the team was playing well, but sadly the scores and records in the tournaments weren't so good. Some local sport journalists told back then that some players disagree with the coach, so they didn't encourage their teammates in order to get better results, since they were looking for the resignation of the coach. Well, nobody knows if that story was true, but the real true fact was that the coach resigned and that was the beggining of a terrible year for our soccer team. Bad things continued happening in the next months. In following entries I will write about that and how does it makes me angry.

A New Law Which Promote Cycling The Congress of my country has approved a bill that promotes cycling. Last Wednesday the law was published at the official Newspaper. This law promote and regulate the use of bycicles as a environmentally sustainable form of transportation. The goal of the legal norm is stablish the foundations in order to begin to built bicycle-tracks throughout the country. The law has some benefits to the workers from public institutions, because they could have a paid day of rest for using the bycicle for going to their jobs every 60 times. This law isn't enforceable yet, because it needs an aditional regulation issued by the central goverment, but a lot of bikers are expecting that.

Paul McCartney Was in The "Carpool Karaoke" With James Corden. Maybe you know the James Corden TV show in the United States. Well, in this show Corden has a segment called "Carpool Karaoke" where he drives a car and a famous singer or actor get in and tald about many subjects. I have never watched a complete episode of that segment, neither Corden's show, but this week one of the most important singer-songwriter in the world was trending topic on twitter because of this show. This week the Corden's passenger was Paul McCartney. The episode was charged with many emotional moments, like for example when McCartnet came back to the house where he lived when he was a teenager in Liverpool. But the most emotional moment was when McCartney told what inspired him to write "Let It Be". One of the most famous Beatles' songs. I am not going to spoil you the story. I just suggest you to watch the video. "Let It Be" is one of my most favourite songs of the Beatles, and after hearing the Paul's story, I like that song so much more. I felt identified with the story and the song in a some way If until now you haven't watched this episode. What are you waiting? The entire record is on Youtube. * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjvzCTqkBDQ

Have I Improved My English Skills In All This Time? I am pretty sure that in recent months I have improved my English level. I rely on, for example, that now I write texts and paragraphs like this faster than before. When I began to use apps like Italki, more than a year ago, every time I wanted to write a publication like this, it used to take me a long time but now it is faster. The example is when I watch TV series. I am used to watch this TV series in their original language. Since most of the TV series I watch are from America, I watch them in English with the subtitles also in English. In the past, I could understand barely the story. Time after I was able to understand a bit more but there were parts of the dialogues that I could not understand. But now, even though there are some parts that I can not understand yet of a TV series, I am able to understand the most of the story. The next step will be watch TV series or movies without subtitles in their original English language.

Tupac Shakur And Tupac Amaru. Who Were They? Most of the people, especially whose likes rap music knows who was Tupac Shakur. But many of them, don't know where that name "Tupac" comes from. Tupac Shakur was a rapper very successful who died in 1996. Even, after more than 20 years he passed away there is a lot of fans of his music. But his artistic name "Tupac Amaru" comes from a revolutionary indigenous, leader of the most important revolution against Spanish Empire in Hispanic South America in the 18 century. His real name was José Gabriel Condorcanqui, he was born in Canas, a province of Cuzco, Peru and he was raised as a descendant of the ancient Incas. His revolutionary ideas crop up after seeing the punishment that the indigenous suffered at the hands of the Spanish Empire. After being struggling and fighting with Spanish Army, he was executed, along with his wife and three of his four sons.

What Do I Think About Jorge L. Borges? One of my favourites writers is the Argentinian Jorge Luis Borges, Although I have not read his whole literary work yet, I admire his legacy. He didn't win the Nobel price ever but many people think he deserved it. Some people think that his politic opinion, especially about Chilean dictatorship, was the reason because the Swedish Academy never gave him the literature prize. The first time I heard about him was in my family, my father was a passionate reader and, as well, Borges was one of his favourites writers. Years later I watched an interview he gave to RTE (Spanish TV), and listening to him was just amazing. He was humble and simple, with a fine sense of humour. He used to had the best and ingenious answer to everything. Regarding his books, they are not simple. When I read his books, I needed to be focused on them. I am pretty sure that his books aren't the most adequate for a beginner Spanish student. It reminds me when I tried to understand the poetry of Walt Whitman, simply I couldn't understand almost anything. A last interesting fact about Borges was that he learned to speak German only to read the books of the German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer.
