Cultural Diversity

Namaste v/s Hola

            

         The human live in society and from we born, we belong to a determinate culture. The culture is what gives us identity, that is to say, some characteristics that distinguish a group of people of other, It characteristics includes religion, political system, physical features, typical dishes, clothes and dances, housing, life style and traditions in general. Exist much kind of cultures in the entire world, this is called cultural diversity.

            If I think in cultural diversity, a good example is India and Chile. These countries have a lot of differences, for example the way to clothe, Indian women use Saris while Chilean have an occidental style; in India religion is Hinduism and they´re polytheistic and here we´re Christians and monotheistic, weddings in Chile are realising for love, instead in India it is to convenience (an economic treaty) and the fiancé arrives to ceremony´s place on an elephant. Some traditional dishes of India are dal, rotis, chapati, bhujia, etc what characterise to have varied condiments, typical Chilean food are (u know :v) empanada, choripan , humitas, pastel de papas, sopaipas, so on. Our national dance is La Cueca, in India there are 4 dances: odissi, bharata natyam, kuchipudi and mohiniyattam. Finally we have crafts, in India there is mayapur and in Chile the indio pícaro ;)

            India and Chile have interesting cultures; they are very different a real culture clash.

80´s 4-ever

Retro girl: Long life to 80´S

The parent-son´s relationship sometimes isn´t easy, many adolescent don´t have things in common with their parents, they think in different ways or have other tastes. In my case the bridge or connection between they and me is the music.

       I like a lot of music styles like pop, rock, gothic, cumbia, folklore, romantic (but only in English, I hate it in Spanish yuck!!) and even tango and “onion music” xD but the music I love is 80´s music.

      

     When I was a little girl I listened 80´s music. My parents went to parties and danced this music :P, they put it in house, so I grew up listened it. After I began to listen other music, “moment music” :B (like axé or now pachangas ejale!) until I have my own style, but 80´s never let me to like. In fact, my faves singers are 80´s, I <3 Michael Jackson, Madonna, Aerosmith, Bon Jovi…

       

     For me 80´snever will die :I

Being bilingual

 Being bilingual, my best decision :B

Know another language is great! You can communicate with people from the entire world and learn about other cultures.

English is like the “world´s language”, everybody should dominate it and I am trying ^^ I remember my dad saying me “English is important in life, it open doors and can give you much opportunity to travel and have a good job”.

Follow my dad´s advice was the best thing that I could do. Now I am learning a new and important language, and bit to bit I am becoming a bilingual :D  It has not been easy, but worth it continues and think in all the advantages that this language is gonna give me.

I wanna my sisters become bilingual too. I am teaching them, they like it and understand that it is important and useful for theirs life. I enjoy much it; they are very clever and learn fastest. Also I have a little cousin (he is just 10 months old) and he is the next xD Unknowingly, he will be able to understand and speak in two languages at the same time.

Be a bilingual rock!!!!

Writing to me

Writing in a different language:

I´m learning English and it has not been easy. I have to learn much new word, pronunciation, intonation, accentuation, so on. The most difficult has been to speak, but write has its complication too.

I have realized some essays in my native language, and even thus sometimes it is difficult to find the correct words, can link all the ideas and give coherence to the text.

For me make an essay or any writing in English has the double of difficulty, due to I do not dominate all the tenses yet and sometimes I get confused. On the other hand I do not know many synonyms, so I tend to repeat the same word.

I just need more practice and read more to know new words and put it into practice :)
