*** If you can correct my text I would appreciate that very much! Thanks in advance 😊 Topic: In the past, many people had skills such as making their own clothes and doing repairs to things in the house. In many countries, nowadays, skills like these are disappearing. Why do you think this change is happening? How far is this situation true in your country? Time is changing very fast. We are witnesses that some skills which were very useful and popular for people are now almost gone, vanished. Same situation is in my country too. It is hard to explain why exactly is this happening, and I think that many factors are responsible for that. Mainly because of our living style that is so fast. But I don’t find this very bad. Few years ago we were not able to have some basic things, like we have today, because it was very expensive for wider society. Many factories have had monopoly on the market and for example we had only one type of the car, one type TV, one type telephone and so on. Choice was extremely limited. Because of globalization many of those things are affordable today, and we do not need to repair mostly anything since there are on the market cheaper versions of the cars, TVs, mobile phones and so on. I remember also that my mother used to sew my socks, trousers, shirts and other clothes since it was expensive to by a new one. Now we can simply buy new pair of those things for very affordable prices and not need to lose our precious time in repairing. On the other side, some skills have become more paid now. For example, if you have to call a constructor, electrician or plumber, prepare yourself that you will pay him some serious money to fix your problem. Additionally, we are becoming more lazy and addicted for other people’s help in the future. Personally I believe that everybody of us should be able to do some smaller reparations either in our home, or clothes, or car and not to allow to be depended especially to other people. We just need to believe.

WOMEN IN JAZZ Women have had an important role in jazz msic from the beginning; however, there is a stereotype that reduce them only to vocal music: classic blues singers, vocals in swing orchestras and bebop combos, and maybe an ocasional pianist. Though female instrumentalists have obtained important achievements, it never was easy to them to get the complete recognition from jazzmen, and all of this because very similar reasons as the ones defined in the fight for equal rights in laboral world: Victorian ideas of what is the woman place, puritan fears from women a men working together (much more in tours and night shifts), steretipated atribuition of wind instruments to men and string ones to women, men's fear of unemployement when a large number of women could get jobs in their field, male influence networks, almost every agent or joint* owner being a man, paternalism or ignorance from critics, etc. Hence, the fact that numberous women could overcome such obstacles and havetheir place in the history of music is quite remarkable. Nevertheless, like in many subjects, a research and recovery of important female figures that habe been obviated is perentory. (*) Bar, restaurant, club,...

As someone who has grown up learning multiple languages, I've often pondered whether this multilingual journey has, in any way, diluted my cultural identity. I feel that learning foreign languages has done quite the opposite; it has enriched my understanding of my own culture while allowing me to embrace the intricacies of others. Far from reducing my cultural identity, being fluent in more than one language has provided me with a broader perspective, enabling me to appreciate the nuances and beauty of different cultural expressions and traditions. This linguistic ability has acted as a bridge, not a barrier, enhancing my sense of belonging to a global community without sacrificing my cultural roots. In my experience, each language I've learned carries its own set of values, humor, and ways of seeing the world, which, in turn, has deepened my appreciation for my heritage. Instead of seeing languages as dividing lines, I view them as threads weaving a richer tapestry of human experience. I believe that cultural identity is not diminished by learning new languages; rather, it's fortified by the additional layers of understanding and empathy gained through this process. Thus, rather than viewing language learning as a threat to cultural identity, I see it as a means to celebrate and deepen our connection to our own cultures and those of others.
