Ten against one There are almost ten people learning english against one native english who is learning another language. I don't know maybe more or less than ten but the point here is that they can't help all of us to correct ours entries on italki. It's a shame but several entries stay without at least one correction. Anyway, thanks all of them who try to help correcting a few entries.

Heroes without powers nor suits Today in the morning before to come to my job, i was watching on the CCN channel a television show named CNN heroes. It is about people around the world who try to do something for someone who are not themselves. The first case was a man who is working with disabled people. He teach them how to work out in a gym and they look happy. The second case was a woman who works to save the lions. I like this story because she achieved to convince the lions' killers about save them. The third story was a girl who creates a special glass for disabled people. All of them received an award for their work. This is a year season where a lot of people try to do good things, give some gifts or share food with someone. But the world problems are present the whole year. We need to be concerned of someone else than ourselves.

Workers on wheels and pedals There are several Bogotá's zones where people work with a rickshaw. I'm not sure whether this is the correct word in English since in Spanish it is bicitaxi. Usually it is a bicycle with three wheels where two passengers can travel and there is a driver who is on pedals. I have seen that majority are young people who need to do any work to earn money. I think it is a hard job because they have to ride on bicycle almost all day and some streets are in bad conditions so the effort is greater. I have noticed that these vehicles cover to the passengers when it is raining but the water reaches to the drivers.

Beauty and the beast is a queens issue Some week ago the national reign of beauty finished. As every year we could see women from all cities trying to win the crown. Usually I tend to ignore this event but this year a girl made a great mistake. Of course these kind of errors have passed before. A journalist asked her: who is Nelson Mandela?, and she answered: He is who began the national contest of beauty. This have been a joke on social networks and everybody has laughed about this. Some people like me begin to remind another girls who have made similar mistakes. It's a shame that an event like this one sells the women's beauty only by their faces, legs, breasts or any part from their bodies, but when one of them allows to see her brain it looks so poor. Really I think the society has taught to ours girls that it is important to have a good look but they don't take care of their formation, so their worth depend on the way their bodies look. Here we usually use the beast word to refer to people who do things without thinking. I don't know if can this word be used in the English like in Spanish. Anyway I wrote the title because this contest lets us to see "beauty and the beast" in the same character. Beautiful bodies with brains of beast.

Animal world in the malls I have noticed that many shopping centers are decorating their corridors with animated figures about a topic. Weeks ago I was with my son and a few friend in the Plaza imperial mall and they have a lot of animals around of the place. I saw whales, dolphins, turtles, polar bears and so on. The Hayuelos mall's topic is about dragons so you can see these animals anywhere. I think this is an interesting commercial strategy because the children like mine like to see the animals when they are moving and making sounds. I guess it is not new, in fact I had seen decorations like this on christmas but I noticed the same in malls just this year.

If you have a motorcycle you are carrying your coffin In my city the traffic is too hard so a lot of people have bought a motorcycle. Many people buy a motorcycle because the price of this one is cheaper than a car but others buy one because they can go between the cars so they waste less time. When you are traveling in a car you can see motorcyclists of each side of the road and they are the first in running if the semaphore have changed to green. Really the motorcyclists don't take care of themselves and many car drivers are imprudent too. Almost all days there is an accident with a motorcycle and many times the motorcyclists have died. Four years ago I bought a motorcycle and three months later I sold it, anyway I had a little accident, I had luck because it wasn't so hard. As many people die due of the motorcycles is very common to hear phrases like what I wrote on the title of this entry.

Fixing the bicycle Last Monday was a holiday here in Colombia. I said my son that he could to play with his bicycle but I needed to adjust it before because the front wheel was not strong. I tried to fix it but after one hour I finished damaging the wheel because all of the steel balls were out. So I needed to look for someone else who could to fix the bicycle. I walked a long time but I could not find someone, so I decided to return at home. When I was coming a neighbor told me that there was someone near to my house who could fix the bicycle. Effectively a neighbor finished fixing it and I lost all morning. I learned that I must not do what I don't know and I should ask whether is there someone near before going far away.
