Instructions to Climb a Stairs Julio Cortazar was a famous, awarded Argentinian writer (1914- 1984) who wrote many interesting books. Short stories were his speciality. Cortázar had lived in France from 1951 until his death and he had also adopted French nationality as protest due to politics disagreements in our country. One of his works entitled “Instructions to climb a Stairs” (1962) (Instrucciones para subir una escalera) caught my attention. I thought, who needed instructions to up a ladder?, what dark, hidden thing did he want to tell me?. The essay was really short, so I read it immediately. Certainly, the text gave explanations to up stairs, but I could not take away my sight from those directions until finished them. This writer was incredible. Of course, it is my opinion. Two simple pages can change the world, at least my world. Two brilliant pages and nothing more than that. This enriching experience taught me something about themes: Topics are not either good or bad. They are not either interesting or boring. Topics are not the problem. A good writer is the key.

Notre Dame de Paris Regarding the latest news, a forgotten memory came back to my mind. Many years ago, I had found in a library a large, antique book called “Nuestra Señora de París”. It was a hardcover book, and the color of its pages had darkened due to time and usage. I could see that some of these pages were also really worn because of that same reason. That book was like a treasure to me. I remember that I had read it with respect and even some devotion. The story was written in ancient Spanish, so some words were no longer used. This aspect in the book turned it even more magical than it really was. The plot and development were amazing, and it had captured all of my attention, but it had also shown the human cruelty. The ending of the story was shocking to me, maybe because of my age. At that time, I was really young and thought that all of the people wanted and looked for the good instead of the bad. When I learned about a project to make a children’s movie based on this book I wondered, how will they solve all of the bad feelings in that story? Despite this, could it be a good film?. I think that they achieved it. After that book, I have acquired the habit of reading about medieval times, and now, after many years, I can say that I have read some of the most interesting ones.

Undisciplined people The shopping center in the city where I live is full of a variety of stores, bar, fast foods even banks. It is a long, continuous street which is at the same level of the side walk. It is only for people who walk up and down looking for something that they need to buy. Stores offer us everything. It can be from glasses to electronic devices and obviously clothes and shoes. Daily this place is visited by a lot of people, but on holidays the amount increases so the authorities have decided to put traffic lights on the streets which cross that main path. Usually people used to walk there carefree and without paying attention. Now they need to be careful and stop to wait for the signal, but they don’t do it. At last my question is, why can’t that people wait for a few seconds? Is it so difficult?. Why do they disrespect social rules? I hope to know the answer someday.

Two Years Studying English In this month I celebrate my second year studying English. I made it by myself. It has been an interesting and long journey. I have gone far, further than my expectations. This adventure made me get to know different people, habits and cultures. Every day I practice English even though it is a little time because my worst nightmare would be to forget all my knowledge. Lately I had to decrease the rithym in learning since I had a full schedule that obsessed me, I forced myself and I was losing my energy and joy. I realize it is better to go step by step and to continue learning from my mistakes. I am proud of me.

I like walking One of my most favorite activities is walking. Walking every day makes my body healthy, but most of all it releases my mind and spirit. Every time I walk, I go listening either English stories or variety music. At that moment, the whole world is disappears, nothing is important to me, it is my reflection time. I am with myself, only me. Near of my house, just one block away, there is a large, relaxing park. As in every park, this one also has a lot of different kinds of trees and birds. Unfortunately, nowadays, I cannot do this because in my city the temperture is extreme. In Summertime it is not possible to walk under the sun. We are a terrible heat during almost the entire season. If I do it, I have a great riske of losing my health. Currently, I just have to wait for the Fall. I spend my time studying English, reading books or swimming in my pool. Fall I am waiting for you, please hurry!
