And today, the conclusion Ok, the short version of the discussion was something like that: Picasso, was a great artist who influenced and changed the art and probably could have the best chance to survive in the island due his creativity and ideas. In the opposite, although his art was important, his contribution for mankind history and evolution is less relevant than the other two characters were. Karl Marx, was a very important prussian philosopher and his ideas changed the world literally and also the way to live for many people. He was a rich man, who thought in the worker class, critical with the capitalism and father of the communism. Moreover, his ideas were implemented in the wrong way in many countries, although it really wasn’t his fault. Bill Gates, was co-founder of Microsoft, one of the biggest software company ever. His software changed the world in the 80’s – 90’s decade. But the really interesting point it is that he and his wife, are the biggest philanthropist in the world. The used theirs billions of $ helping poor people around the world and convinced other rich people to do the same. Even the medical research has been supported by them, with the necessary founds to develop a vaccine for the malaria. On the other hand, there is polemic about how he started his business and his aggressive monopoly tactics. My team defended Bill Gates and proposed that Picasso should jump. We thought that Bill and Karl could have a very interesting conversation about how to get a better world. However, the democratic decision was that Bill Gates should be the jumper. My conclusion is that the world is crazy, isn’t it? Or perhaps I’m crazy, who knows ^^. What do you think? Bye!

English class exercice Hi! Today I tell you, what we did in my last English class. We worked in 3 groups, and our teacher asked us about one successful/famous character. We didn’t have more info, so later few minutes of discussion each group selected one. The three characters selected were Pablo Picasso the artist, Karl Marx the philosopher who theorized about communism, and Bill Gates co-founder of Microsoft. When we had the list, the teacher told us that the three persons were traveling by balloon in the middle of the pacific when a bird, a big bird, crashed with them and became losing altitude. There was an island, near their position, but only two of them could get it. One of them should jump to the ocean, where hungry sharks will be waiting. Who should jump? That was the question. We had to defend our character and explain why he should survive and select who will jump. To be continue… Because it could be very long, and it will be boring to correct. Who do you think the jumper was? Any bet? Bye! And thanks!

My second entry I don't like write personal things on internet, but it is the easy way to tell something and practise my written english. Besides, the chat isn't working now (It crashses a lot , I think it happens because there are a lot of people connected at the same time at this hours), so I can't found someone to practise my spoken english. So, here I am trying to write about something. For example, yesterday and today I have been correcting some diary notes from english speakers (ok, only two :P), and I saw that they put a lot of accents or "tildes" correctly. In spanish the accent is the term to the sound and the "tílde" to express it in writting. When I went to the school I hated them, and I rarely use them because for me, it did not have any sense. When I read a word with "tílde" in a phrase in spanish, I understand immediately how I should pronounce this word. A lot of years ago, in my country you couldn't pass an exam of any subject with more than two or three wrong "tílde", fortunately (or not) when I was to the school and university they were less strict than old times. Indeed, now I admit that I forget a lot of them when I write in spanish if I do not put special attention. It is sad, I know, however I convince myself telling I am a science man hehe. But I understand now that to non-spanish speakers, have to be important know exactly where they have to put the accent when they talk. Wow, finally I wrote a text! I sure it has a lot of mistakes and weird expressions :). If you are a non-spanish speaker... Do you hate the "tildes"? Does it help you to have a better pronunciation? Bye!, and thanks for reading :)
