Rules of Etiquette

     Many countries speak the same language but sometime, words can have different mean. In a country one word can be a swear word and in other a regular word. For example, I lived in Madrid and there I heard a lot of word with a bad meaning for my. In another occasions I used some words and the people saw me with a strange face. Spain and Venezuela are on different continents but that happen here too. On this course i have a Colombian friend. sometime when we spoke in Spanish we need asked about the sense of the sentence, and Colombia is the country next to Venezuela. We are neighbors.

     These differences weren't only about words. Here, on the English course I am learning about others cultures. Now, I know are many different between it. For example, for the Latin people are normal speak with strange inclusive, sometime is OK if you interrupt other people. But that is unthinkable for a Asian person.  

     

Long Weekend

I didn't go out of the city on this long weekend I stayed in Calgary and did different things. On Friday I went to IKEA. That is a big store with a lot of things for home. I saw a beautiful table and a cheap lamp for my apartment.  On Saturday I went to downtown and drank a delicious coffe. I went alone but it wasn't a problem for my. On Sunday I stayed in home and slept a lot. For last, on Monday a went to lunch with my Colombian friend. We ate in the Market Mall. The food was very well and then we walked for the mall. There are many store. We bought pants and jackets because were in sale. In conclusion, that was a relaxing and entertaining long weekend. 

Counterfeit Products

     In this time get a fake products is very common. Many people work in improve a quality of the copies. For example, some logos are very similar to a original or if you touch the material is like  the used for the rightful. This is happening because that is a millionaire business. Many counterfeiter are making money with pirated products because the people do not know they are buy the wrong product but this is a illegal market. The best for do not buy copies is look the security marks. Is necessary see the brand name and the logo and compare it with the original. And remember, this can be common but is illegal and if you buy a copy product you can go to the jail too.

                                

Country Life or City Life

I was born in Caracas. That is a city in my country. I did not live in a farm. And this is my opinion about advantages and disadvantages of live in a city.  The city life is easier than a country life. In the city many things are in the supermarket or in other stores. In the farm, is necessary do it, and the stores are very far. In both places are problems. People, in especially young people, can have problems with alcohol, drugs or other themes. For this, is necessary education and the parents’ guide. One advantage of the country life is the perfect balance between man and the nature. Some people do not understand about our damage to world. For all these reasons is hard say which one is the best life.
