Hi everyone!
How is it going? I´m Esther and I´ve decided to open this profile with the purpose of chatting with interesting people, which funnily enough are pretty difficult today. Not only is the crisis economic, but it also affects all the sectors.
To beging with and talking briefly about me, I´m 30 years old and I live in Granada where I work as a general practitioner on "La Inmaculada"´s hospital. I´m not specially tall thus I heigh 1.65 metres and my weight is 52 kilos. As can be seen on the different pics I´ve uploaded to my profile I have long, plus straight brown hair, green and rousing eyes and a chubby plus cherubic face with rosy cheecks.
About my hobbies and interests I have to say I´m hooked on figure ice-skating, literally a fanatic girl and, furthermore, I´m really keen on reading novels or whatever, watching T.V. series and films (except terror, chilling or spine-tingling movies or series), meeting with my bunch of friends, going for a shopping spree, strolling down the streets, travelling and stuff like that.
What I´m looking for here is someone special, you know. Moreover, not only am I looking for a close friend, but I also need someone who is worth it. I would like to find somebody who has some interests as I have, who has an enormous sense of humour, who is able to be side-splitting and brings the house down in some occassions and, of course, serious, determined, reliable and a little bit stern in others like job, partner, family, values and so on, although who always is looking on the bright side. Added to that, I would like that people who are really keen on me and they´ll decide to write me please have médium cultural level and, what it´s more important, not commit gramar mistakes.
So, that´s all. I´ll hope meeting you very soon.
Bye!

Stranger Things
This thought-provoking T.V. series is wreaking havoc in the population thus the atmosphere of mistery is all around it. Created by the Duffer´s brothers, Matt and Ross, this Sci-Fi series is set in the 60s years in USA, which is pretty attractive, it counts on Winona Ryder as Joyce Byers, David Harbour plays as Jim Hopper. Finn Wolfhard as Mike Wheeler and the remarkable carácter of Eleven, which is played by Millie Bobby.
The plot revolves around a small town where everyone knows everyone, a peculiar incident sparks off a chain of events that leads to the dissapearance of a child, which begings to tear at the fabric of an once peaceful community. Dark government agencies and seemingly malevolent, terrifying plus supernatural forces converge on the town, whereas a few locals begin to understand that there is more going on tan meets the eye.
Broadly speaking, it is Winona who grabs the attention of the spectators. She is absolutely marvellous in her role as the weird mother who becomes more and more crazy while time passes and her son does not come back. The rest of the cast are totally convincing and, of course, Gaten Matarazo deserves a special mention who plays the carácter of Dustin., one of Will´s friends, the vanished boy. Concerning the two directors, I would like to say both carried out an impecable filming labour, such all the details are well care and well developed.
Regarding the plot, it is entirely absorving and riveting and it has some unexpected twists. You can see a fast moving T.V. series along its 8 chapters, which are completely far-fetched. Respect to the script and the dialogues, I have to say not only are they compelling and spine-tingling, but they are also action-packed. The speacial effects are simply stunning and astounding and the photography is impressive and in many moments entirely breathtaking. Noneless, the soundtrack is, for me, a Little bit weak, pretty inimaginative.
On the whole and taking everything into consideration, it is a really outstanding and stimulating T.V. series. Furthermore, this type of series is not only for the youth and it is well worth seeing. I would throroughtly recommend it without any doubt.

Assesment Report
PURPOSE
The intention of this report is to assess the suitability of the isle of Menorca, which is located in Spain, in order to analize if it would be as an adequate destination por package holidays. This report outlines the advantages and disadvantages of different aspects.
HOW TO GET THERE
There is no way to get a direct fly to Menorca due to the fact that it is a tiny island which does not receive a huge number of tourists. Thus, yo have to stop over in Madrid, Barcelona or Málaga and once you land off in one of those cities, you have to move quickly from the international arrivals (before that you have to pick your baggage up to) to the national departures and, of course, you have to get back to check in your luggage. Taking into cosideration the large distance which there is on the three airports, and the flies´Schedule are sometimes pretty tight, I would higly recommend to spend a night there in a hotel or to take the first flight and the second one with a great deal of time between them because it is pretty easy and posible to lose the conexión.
AVAILABLE ACCOMODATION AND RESTAURANTS
As far as I could test there during my short stay, Menorca presents a huge variety of local and international restaurants, bars, pubs and a distinct range of accomodations from Budget to luxury accomodations; Not only are there hotels, but there are also rented flats, cottages and hostels.
ENTERTAINMENT IN MENORCA
It is different a vary number of activities what tourists are looking for in their travels. In this sense, Menorca is a vibrant isle, with a marvellous wheather, stunning beaches which enable the practise of diverse sports like swimming, surfing or scuba-diving, plus riveting landscapes, some of which are completely out of the blue. Furthermore, there are a lot of sightseeing tours all over this isle, which has a cultural and remarkable área. Funnily enough, there is no shopping centre or any souvenir shops, which are something to take into account too.
CONCLUSION
On the basis of the points mentioned above, Menorca is a great isle which has a lot of places to be visited, For all of I have said, I strongly recommend to include Menorca as one of our destinies because I sincerely believe it worths it.
Your sincerely,
Esther Díaz

Rafa Nadal, the Spanish Hero
Yesterday was the last match of Rafa in this Olympic Games, which are horribly organizated such all the event was prepared for a week, a tremendous slap. Rafa arrived to Rio ready to participate in all the categories: individual, doubles with Marc Lopez and mixted with Garbine Muguruza, although he is not perfectly OK because he drags an injury wrist and problems in his ankles. Despite that, Rafa gave the best of himself, as always, and finally achieved the gold medal in doubles and the fourth position in individuals. Doesn't matter if he hasn't achieved more medals, he is a hero, thus he never gives up. Chin up Rafa and all the best for you always!

The Traffic Problems in my town
First of
all, I have to say in my town there is a tiny variety of public transport as we
only own the urban bus. On the other hand, it is true there are a lot of them.
Recently, the lines of them have been changed and that has disturbed the
inhabitants because the lines are entirely new.
Even so, I think the change was necessary due to the fact that the town centre
was absolutely collapsed and the pollution figures were
completely terrible.
Secondly,
despite of the fact that theorically we have the underground, this is not
available by different plus successive works. I am wondering if we used less
the car in case the underground would correctly work.
In
conclusion, the traffic problems exist. We need more public transport in order
not to use so much the car. Moreover, this is a capital city, so there would have to be
not only bus and underground but also an
airport plus great and large bus and train stations.

Review About my Smartphone
The purpose
of this review is to help each other in order to choose the best smartphone
attending to its features, prize and singularities.
My smartphone is a Samsung Galaxy SIII Neo. Broadly speaking, nowadays it is iPhone which is the best considered. That is completely right for many reasons: it is smart, pretty fine, hardly weigh, it possesses an attractive design and so on. Furthermore, its quality is extremely high. Nevertheless, its cost is prohibitive for a lot of people. We cannot waste almost 1000€ on a smartphone, even being it so stunning. In addition, 50% of its prize is for the branch.
Regarding that, Samsung becomes in a great choice for multiple and variety reasons: cost, quality and characteristics and especifications. Let's see them in detail: this model is only in blue. Its screen is 4,8" and has a full HD quality. It is ideal to watch any kind of videos an photos. Its switched on is too fast and has many apps included, as play store or YouTube. You can instal whatever app that you want and download every music, plays or videos entirely fast.
Moreover, its camera possess a high resolution with 8 megapixels on the main camera and a frontal camera with 1,8 megapixels for your selfies. It also has movement sensor, flash and it enables to take panoramic photos. Another question which people are asking for is the led notification, and this mobile phone has it. Regarding its data storage, it is absolutely fantastic. Not only does it have a 16 gigas of storage, but you can also extend them with a micro sim until 32 gigas. Now, I just say it costs less than 200€.
So, to sum up and taking all of this into account, I have to say the relationship quality - prize on this mobile is entirely fantastic. For all of that, I strongly recommend it, with no doubt.

Ireland
It was Ireland where my relatives and I chose to go these holidays and we chose it for many reasons:
1. The price of the travel. For seven days it was very ecconomic.
2. It was a destiny which non of us knew.
3. The landscapes are marvellous and astounding.
4. I wanted a place where I could practise and improve my English.
Anyhow, we chose the organized travel and we spent a wonderful week in the Republic of Ireland. We visited Dublín, of course, and its fantastic Temple Bar Street, Cork, Kerry, Kilkenny, Killerny, Trelee, different beaches on the Wild Atlantic, Clonmagnoise and, of course, the fantastic, impressive and uplifting Glendalough, where it set Braveheart and the risky and dangerous Cliffs of Moher, where Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince and different scenes of Game of Thrones are setting there.
Here I attatch 2 pics of these locations. Bye Ireland. Bye for now.

Pay Attention: Spoilers
Ok, today is the day I´ve chosen to talk about Game of thrones. It is one of my favourite T.V. series for many reasons.
1. It is a gripping serie.
2. It is in English, and all the actors and actresses (except one or two) speak with a perfect accent, so it becomes marvellous for listenings and knowing some words´pronunciation.
3. Although it has a pretty fantastic and unbelievable plot, all the characters are perfectly characterished and all the roles are well-develop.
4. Last but not least, not only does it have all I´ve said, but it has also developed an astounding, mesmerizing and thrilling plot. This six season has been absolutely out of the blue! All the twists it has had, all the deaths, the final... Wow, it was entirely enthralling! There have been other seasons, but non of that ones. I love it! Finally bad characters start to die! Furthermore, good roles are more tan ever!
Well done, Game of thrones!

Hi mates!
First of all, I have to congrat to my mates who have passed the c1, well done everyone!!!! And the rest of us, like me, who have failed some skills, chin up!!!! September is ours!!!!!
Said this, I need to give my personal point of view about the brexit and the new elections here in Spain.
To begin with, Brexit for me was a terrible news, Not only eas it for me, but it also was for all the Britain people and for the rest of Europe, of course. I strongly consider Britain people are going to loose more than Europe. In fact, there are demands to repeat the referendum´s process. I don´t know if that kind of things could be make easily. We will see it.
Regarding the new elections, I have to say that, independently your vote was, you can´t use your ideas to insult other people only for the rest have other opinions from you. That´s so sad and disturbing. Furthermore, it´s disgusting. It´s horrible to see different mesages on the social networks form people insulting freely.
Please, it is respect what makes strong a society. Actually, Respect and education are the most important things. The more resspectful a society is, the stronger it is.

Visit to The Alhambra
Funnily enough, I haven´t been on the Alhambra since I was a Little child. Although I have lived in Motril since I was 5 years old, I only went once to the Alhambra. Taking into account this, I could not miss the great chance to stroll by it and improve my English and my Culture at the same time. It is the Nazaries´Palace that I most enjoyed. Not only did I love the magnificent architecture, but I also breathe the misterious atmosphere: so romantic, astounding and pretty gripping. Every place are plenty of interest. Marvellous visit, the Alhambra worths it. It is completely out of the blue.

Jane
"It´s pouring cats and dogs". That
drizzly day, Jane was late for her date with Andrew, a young man in his
thirties, who chatted up her two months ago. The first days Jane thought Andrew
was a complete impostor because he always talked about business travels all
over the world, astounding places and a riveting life. Moreover, he always took
her out to have dinner on expensive plus posh restaurants, picked her up on a
luxurious and compelling car and made her some beautiful gifts. Everything was
so perfect, maybe too much to be real.
Nevertheless, Andrew was real, absolutely perfect. A fantastic, entirely honest and stunning man. So, Jane started to see him frequently while she noticed she was in love with Andrew. Weeks passed by giving large strolls holding hands, muttering to each other about true love and other stupid and mellifluous things and planning their future together.
Regarding the future, they had talked about many things. Not only did he want to marry her, but he also wanted to have children with Jane. And it is children that Jane most feared about. Despite she loved children, Jane could never have one, because she had a medical problem. A few years ago, she suffered a terrible cervical cancer, pretty invasive. She overcame it but, unfortunately, the doctors had to make her a womb extraction. By the time, she was engaged to another man, who split up with her when he knew she would have no children.
There, in the hospital, completely alone, Jane took a risky decision that horrible day. If any man wanted to be with her, she had to tell him about her secret before she would be deploy in love with him. In that way, she would suffer less. So, that drizzly and cold night, in which a snowdrift was comming, Jane had decided to tell Andrew about her health problems, before time would spend more and it would cost more to tell it. It was so late, thus she said bye to her dog, which swiched its tail and pulled at the door, which squeaked a little bit. She walked in a rush whereas she swore she would never make the same mistake again.

The Sad Story of Katya and Sergei
Hi colleages!
A few years ago, I promised to tell you about a pair of Figure Ice Skating. So, here is their terrible story:
In a skating rink they were known and on the ice good-bye was said forever. It was a November, twenty, 1995, a day of training as other one anyone in Lake Placid's chill track in New York. Nothing was making presage to them to Katya and to Sergei, that those would be his last united steps. They were testing a launch - a double axel-, Sheriosha took impulse to raise Ekaterina, since so often it had done along his professional career, but something failed and fell collapsed to the soil. Terrified Katusha took it in his arms with the hope of ques ólo it was a simple faint, but in the same instant that Katya took his hand he sensed beforehand of that everything had finished. His husband and also his pair of skating has just died in his lap, a heart attack had fulminated it twenty-eight years after age. Katusyha was remaining a widow with twenty-two years and a daughter of three, the small Dasha, and his life was stopping making sense because his great passion, the artistic skating, had just wrested him from his only and great love: his husband Sergei Grinkov.
While Ekaterina Gordeeva was trying to assume the happened, the world of the sport was waking up with the terrible news: Sergei Grinkov, the champion Olympian double, in the discipline of artistic skating in the category of pairs, victim had died of unataque to the heart. The best pair of all the times, nevermore would return to furrow of the hand a track of ice. Beethoven's Moonlight, with which they gained his second Olympian gold in 1994 in Lilliehammer - they are the only ones that have obtained it - and that never remained recorded in the memory of many fans as the best seen program, it sounded that fatidical November, twenty sadder than never.
Grinkov and Gordeeva knew themselves in the track of ice of the CSKA of Moscow, she had only four years and he eight. The two were training in solitarily, as individual skaters, nevertheless as the years went by his preparers thought that they would have more possibilities as pair, so they began to work together. The results were not late in coming and in the year 1985 they gained his first World júnior. But his goal was like for other many sportsmen the Olympian gold, and in Calgary, Canada, in 1988 they had his opportunity, and did not waste it, though in the way towards the gold they had to overcome any more than one reef.
A few months before the Olympian appointment, Ekaterina suffered a serious accident while he was training with Sergei. In an elevation the tiny Katusyha - that in those days was not reaching the 1,50 deestatura - it slipped of the arms of his companion and struck his/her/its head against the ice. As consequence of the fall, Katya was two months deposited the hospital and his Sheriosha - as her was calling affectionatly Grinkov - not even one stopped being going to see her only day. Sergei was feeling guilty for having allowed that one should damage Katya, it was not possible to excuse it. Even it managed to consider stopping training, but the small Katusyha did not allow it to him and he him remembered that the Olympics were waiting for them, so it had to continue working though she was in the hospital. It was in this time when Sergei discovered the great thing that his companion of track was importing for him. Without realizing he had fallen in love and thanks to this inopportune injury in his fight for reaching the Olympian dream his hearts had remained close forever. On the ice of Calgary they demonstrated that they were the best and with only fourteen and eighteen years they were crowned as the new kings of the skating. With the music of the Sleeping Beauty they rubbed the perfection and captivated the Canadian public but very few ones knew that the fairy-tale was on the verge of real making.
After gaining the Olympics and several championships of the world Gordeeva and Grinkov left the official competitions. They wanted to form a family, so they married and there was born his daughter Daría. Nevertheless two years later the small worm of the competition touched them again. In 1994 and for the first time in the history of a few Olympic Games professional skaters might compete. Lilihammer was offering them an opportunity that they could not reject: to be the first pair in obtaining the Olympian doublet. And in spite of the fact that there Russians were also Arthur Dimitriev and Natalia Miskutianov, the judges yielded themselves to the elegance and majesty opened by Gordeeva and Grinkov. Once again they had obtained it. They had come to the highest thing sportingly and were living happy together with his small one, until the tragedy surprised them. Probably, as he said in some occasion the own Katya " everything was too perfect to be royal ".
At present Katya his life has re-done with also champion Olympian Illia Kullik. Together they have had a daughter Daria, but Gordeeva has not returned to marry.

Informal Letter Giving Information
You have received a letter from an English friend.
My manager has asked me to organise a fun run for everyone at work and I remember you doing the same thing last year. You couldn't give me some help, could you?
I'd like to know what kind of event it was, what went well and what didn't. Where do you think we should have the fun run?
Best wishes,
Alan
Hi Alan!
What's up? I'm so sorry for writing you this letter so late but I have no free time. As you know, I'm preparing for my C1 certificate and practising for my drivers licence. How can people say this is easy?
Anyhow, I hope it is not be too late to pass on some useful tips for the fun run. But more about than later! Listen, seldom do people want to participate in that kind of event, so it is necessary to give them a little push. In my case, I used attractive awards like free lunch for a week, free parking for a week too and a check for an amount of 300£. The majority of the company participated in the fun run!
Nevertheless, the path that I planned to move through was extremely difficult, with pretty changes and ramps. It was completely dangerous and risky and everybody arrived at the finish completely exhausted and almost dehydrated. Furthermore, a colleague suffered a terrible fall and she tore a ligament in one of her arms and also had a hairline fracture in one of her knees.
Taking all of this into account I would recommend you doing the fun run at a place with an easy way to move through and there would be some emergency personal, just in case someone had an accident. It is prevention that is the better cure. I bet your fun run will have a great success, so let your hair down! Don't forget to write and tell me how it went.
Best wishes and good luck!
Esther

Horrible Accidents on Figure Ice-Skating
Hi everyone!
Some weeks ago, I wrote about terrible falls on this marvellous and dangerous sport. Today I´m going to complete that with some links about horrible accidentes which took part on different competitions. I remember only a few of them. Nevertheless, I have to recommend that if you are a pretty sensitive person, perhaps you might not to watch them, It´s my piece of advice, because the videos are very impressive. Another thing I have to add is all of the skaters are perfecty well today, so don´t panic.

Report
Here I am, practising many writing tasks. Today I´m going to write a report.
To: José Arévalo, Cadena Ser´s
director
Homelessness
Nowadays, it is homelessness the main problem that
affect more to the population. We started with this crisis some years ago and
it still carries on. Regarding that, many people have lost their jobs and,
moreover, many of them cannot pay a rent or, simply, can’t make the ends meet.
This is terrible, apalling plus even disgusting. Watching on news how a family
more is ejected with a eviction order. The solution is trully complicated.
Perhaps the government and the banks might give them more months to pay all
their debts before leaving them without anything.
Crime
The second point is nearly relationated with
homelessness. Why? The answer is simple. Because there are a lot of vacuum
houses and flats and that is the paradise for the criminals and buglers.
Briberies, robes, steals for instance are rising in the last few years.
Furthermore, there are many poor people who have to steal food or similar
things to subsist. The more unemployers there are, the more criminals there
will be. Solution: improving the surveillance on streets, especially on the
richest ones.
Lonelyness
Conclusion
To sum up, and taking all of this into account,
I consider there are enormous and important social issues in our community.
Although, if all of us help in different things, being volunteer, for instance,
these problems will improve. I strongly believe this is the clue.
You have listened to a radio programme on
social issues that affect the community. You have to write a report on social
issues like homelessness, crime and loneliness, suggesting ways to deal with
these issues.

Subject: Social issues in our country
Date: March 24th, 2016
Purpose
The aim of this report is to discuss
different social issues which affect my community. The most important ones are,
perhaps, homelessness, crime and loneliness. Furthermore, suggesting some ways
of tackling these problems.
That social issue mainly affects the elderly
people. Not only do they live alone, but they also do not have any relative
near to them. That is extremely sad because that could cause depression and
other mental problems. Besides, these people could have some health problem, so
it is better to control them. Many volunteers could visit them at their homes,
accompany them during daily time, prepare their meals, come with them to the
doctor or simply stroll for the streets.

The Descent
After arriving to the top of the mountain, the snow was starting to fall, the same as the night before. The four mates are enjoying the terrific landscape, which was absolutely stunning, gripping and uplifting. Moreover, it was out of the blue. Nevertheless, they had to come back to their camp. Not only did they not have any food or coats to spend the night there, but they also had an injured mate, who was on one of the tent with an important hairline fracture in one on his legs plus the arm´s ligaments entirely tored. He had too much pain in order to continue the ascent, so he couldn´t continue it and he stayed at the camp.
For that reason, having strolled a little along the top, the four colleages started the descent, which was extremely dangerous plus risky because they didn´t have any torch, nor flashlight. They didn´t measure well their forces and time. All of them descended in a total silence. Nobody spoke during all of it. The four were afraid by their injured mate and for themselves too. In fact, the places they wanted to be was their homes with their relatives instead of to be playing with their lives.
After seven hours they arrived to their camp, completely safe and sound. Their fellow was lying inside the tent, terribly pale and exhausted. Despite that, he nerviously grinned while the rest of the team uncontrollably sobbed. The more he grinned, the more the rest sobbed. The next day, a huge helicopter went to pick them up. All of them shouted with emotion. After their rescue, nothing will ever be the same.

Music and Me
I can say,
without any doubt, that listening to music is one of my favourite hobbies, live
or recorded. With regards on that, I am pretty keen on hearing several types of
music: pop, disco, rock, classical music and reggeton, why not? It depends on
the occassion, moment, place and stuff like those themes. Nevertheless, I
deeply hate blues and jazz music because these styles make me nervous.
Anyway, not
only do I like to listen to music, but I am also interested in learning the
lyrics of my favourite songs. Nowadays, I try to understand "Hello",
by Adele; "Writings on the wall", by Sam Smith; and
"Faded", (I do not remember by whom is it). Furthermore, it is my
English´s level what I improve with that kind of plays. But, when can I listen
to it?
Well, with
reference to that question, I have to say that I need music all the time.
However, I cannot do this always, only inmy spare-time. Despite that, every
afternoon I try to listen to music on my own for one hour more or less. The
more I listen to it, the less stressful I am. Apart from this, when I have to
clean the house, I switch on the radio, which cheers me up. In addition, when I
have plans with my bunch of friends to go to a cosy restaurant or on a shopping
spree or wherever, I have a shower and put some make up on while I listen to
the radio or my own songs.
Taking into
account my mood, I choose one genre of music or another. For instance, if I am
sad, I prefer rock music like “Him” or “Nightwish”, in contrast if I am happy I choose disco music like
Shakira. Nevertheless, if I am in love I need romantic music like Tiziano
Ferro.
So, to sum
up, as you see each people choose different types of music and it depends on
their own preferences and situation in that moment. It is the mood, preferences
plus circumstances that people consider when choosing one theme or another.

Informal Email
To: sigilosa_pandora@hotmail.com
From: Grizabella23@hotmail.com
Subject: News
Hi, Laura!
What's up? Thanks for your last email and sorry for not answering before. Seldom do I have time for anything. Now I have some time to invest in catching up with you. For instance, did you know I've moved to Granada? Yes! I did it, at last! I moved to my boyfriend's house last month and this is fantastic! The house is stunning, marvellous and great. Moreover, we even have a cinema's room! It's out of the blue! I love it.
More news, I got a job on a school here in Granada. Nevertheless, I'm not really happy. You know, I needed to work in something and this opportunity is absolutely amazing! It is my pupils who makes me feel miserable. I wish they weren't so reckless. Look, in this three weeks I've had to go twice to E.R.! Are they mad? The more I bother of them, the more they do to injury themselves and perjudicate me. Believe me, not only have I become on a timid person but I'm also entirely scared. Those children are completely crazy!
However, I have to say living in Granada is wonderful. Miguel supports me all that he can and the connivance is perfect (for now at least). We'll see how it is going.
Nothing more by know, I have to prepare some activities for my little beasts for tomorrow.
See you soon!
Best wishes,
Esther Diaz

Apply letter
Dear Mr. Wilson,
Thank you for your letter. With regards to working in the evenings, I am afraid I cannot do it, because I have to attend too many lectures at that time of the day.
Therefore, I am interested in working at your camp in the mountains, which it is said to be a place completely out of the blue. Thus, I would like to know if you need more staff. If it is in the summer, it is in August when I will be available due to the fact that my public competition will finish in the middle of July and I am sitting for the examination. So, as you would understand, it is entirely impossible for me to be available in other dates.
Regarding my level of English, not only do I speak it fluently, but I also have the Advanced Certificate by Cambridge, where the exams are consider to be pretty complete and to have a high level. Moreover, I am keen on meeting people because I am a kind, reliable and sympathetic person so that this kind of job would give me the chance to use all my skills and look after children that I really like. The more I learn, the richer my life and the lives of my pupils are.
I have enclosed my Curriculum Vitae plus personal details and qualifications. I look forward to meeting you to discuss the possibility of employment. Please contact me regarding any queries you may have.
Yours sincerely,
Esther Díaz

Invictus
This movie is based on John Carlin´s
novel "Playing Nelson Mandela and the Game that Made a nation". With
regard on the film, it is set in South Africa having a box office success.
Actually, it received a lot of nominations, including the "Oscars"
awards. Therefore, it did not win any of them. The movie was directed by Clint
Eastwood and the main characters were roled by Morgan Freeman as Nelson Mandela
and Matt Damon playing Fracois Pienaar.
In 1990, after his liberation from jail, Mandela rises to be the President
of his country and decree the abolish of "Apartheid". Furthermore,
his main goal is to accomplish a reconciliation policy between the black
mayority and the white minority. In 1995, South Africa takes in the Rugby World
Cup and Mandela takes advantage of this like an instrument in order to build
the national unity.
Broadly speaking, the characters are well-developed. It is Morgan who is
pretty believable and he looks alike the real Mandela whereas Matt is likeable
and convincing too. Not only is the acting natural but it is also powerful in
some occassions. Talking about the plot, I had some doubts with it because I
thought it could be boring and tedious. However, it is absorving, absolutely
riveting and thougth- provoking. Moreover, the script is quite realistic, well-written
plus moving. In that film there are no great special effects but the
photography is entirely incredible and amateurish.
To conclude and taking all of this into account, I have to say it is a really
interesting and memorable film. It is for all publics (the youth could also
learn about the history of a great plus extraordinary man) and it is well worth
seeing it. I would throroughly recommend this film without any doubt.

Paralled Between Nelson Mandela & Obama
Hearing an interview with Richard Stengel and David Remnick ( editor of the New Yorker and author of a biography of Obama) on Lessons on leadership: Mandela and Obama, it is talked about a paralled between both leaders, Mandela and Obama. However, is it justified? Let's see my arguments:
First of all, both interviewees think about a leader is a mix of born and made. In other words, a leader has to former, he or she has to have an essence, though. With regard on that, Mandela and Obama had the character. Therefore, both of them became leaders in different ways. Whereas Mandela formed in jail, Obama was made in a modest life and education. No matter the paths, all of them are valid to shape strong leaders.
Secondly, the point of reconciliation is extremely important in this likeness, where Mandela and Obama tried to join blacks with whites, a pretty rough enterprise. That is true the period and the situation of each one is completely distinct: Obama was beneficed for the scandals of his opponents while Mandela had to grapple with a diverse language and a population entirely divided. moreover, most of it saw him as a criminal. And furthermore, Mandela had to forgive and forget, something important and absolutely complicated.
Thirdly, the formal gestures are also a marvellous parallel: both leaders played with smiles, calm (even on the difficult moments), and clothes. Mandela and Obama cared about wearing the suitable suits and clothes for every occasion. All the more, Mandela, for instance, had an especial instinct about how to grab the attention in the best moment. Another thing is how did they face the problems: Mandela took into consideration all the sides of a problem whereas Obama faces directly the situation.
To sum up, I strongly believe it is true that both leaders are diverse in form, not in essence. Not only it is important than leaders know all the problems and reality of their country, but it also is necessary population see them like humans, with their frightens and showing their real feelings. That's makes see them sympathetic plus near people.

Opinion Essay About Tattoos And Piercings
Are
piercings and tattoos a fad or, in contrast, are they here to stay? This is an
important question and the answer depends on multiple plus personal aspects. If
you are really keen on tattooing and piercing, you probably answer "they
are here for a long time", whereas if you are against that fashion,
perhaps you will say "they are only depending on trend.
First of all, I know artists nowadays are
well trained on handling the equipment. Although tattoos and piercing studios
are said to be cleaner than your average doctor´s office, it may be dangerous.
Moreover, it could be pretty risky. Not only may it damage your skin, but you
also can get infectious diseases like Hepatitis B, C or HIV.
Secondly, It is said that it is cool to remind
you an important date or event in your life, for instance yours wedding´s date
or your actual partner´s name. However, have you taken into account the
possibility of spliting up with your partner or even getting the divorce?
Tattooing is permanent. Well now, there are some treatments to make dissapear
that mark, but they are expensive and, what is worse, they are entirely
griveous.
Thirdly, it is style and originality what
people who have on tattoo or piercing are looking for. Furthermore, they look
for a way to express their individuality. That is the reason of youth, who just
pretending to imitate friends os celebrities or simply wants to rebel against
parents and society in general. What I want to mean is teenagers do not think
about the consequences in the future. For example: they would be identified
with the wrong "group", they may be pretty easily become judget and
rejected or even tattoos and piercings could be an obstacle on getting a job.
To conclude, I would like to say it is
complicated to decide if tattoos and piercings are only a fad or they are here
to stay. Personally, I have to say I am divided. I consider them a fad of a
determined society and currently that group of people will not be extinct. So,
they will be here for that kind of population.

The Bloody Countess
Have you ever hear about Erzsébet Báthory? She was an Hungarian´s contess who passed the history to have killed more than 630 young women.
She was said to have killed that women, many of them belonged to the aristocracy, by her necessity to stay beautifull all moment and age. So, she used the blood of that teenagers to take a bath with it. Pretty discustin, isn´t it?
Well, that is the story and I tell you because another day talking with my friends of Pink Ladies we were commented a trip to Hungary and one of them would want to visit the castel of this contess. And that´s all for today.

Horrible falls on figure ice-skating world
As you know, I'm a fanatic of that sport and today I would like to share with you a few perfomances which had many problems in their execution. Moreover, even when the skaters were the best un that moment, they post the gold medal for a simply fall. Pay attencion to the faces of their París and coachs, that's so so funny.
Here is the linkers:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5UzNkGjxik It was on the Olympic Games of Torino in 2006 and they are a great pair of ice dance cathegory, Marie France Dubreil and patrice lauzon. Nowadays they are married and are coaches of the most importants pairs of dance.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kY08tShyvAo In the same Olympic game, the same modality and the same day, Barbara Fusar Poli and Maurizio Margaglio failt their program. It is pretty wird see falls in ice dance but... Her look was tremendous!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpkozDciJNk Here are my favourite pair of pairs modality. They are tatiana Voloshozar and maxim Trankov and they are absolute marvellous in every single style. However, they are human and in that world championships in 2012 they had a terrible mistake...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEWCudH_haI The same pair, fantastic perfomance and coreography, although, the Maxim´s fall is horrible and the consecuences could be terrible for both of them.

The Ultimate Adventurer: Richard Burton & The Mountains of the Moon
I know I'm late with this but better late than never. Here are my answers:
1. Richard Burton: he is a man with a great character plus an incredible determination to achieve whatever he put his mind to.
John H. Speke: he is perhaps a little bit shy and dependent for people, for instant for Richard and Lowry. He wants to be famous and due to that he goes to Africa with Richard.
Isabel Burton: she is years ahead of her time. You notice that, for example, because she reads the Richard's publications. From the beginning she is in love for Richard and she accepts calmly and without estress the life her husband has.
Lowry: he is a manipulative, troublemaker plus vindictive man and he doesn't doubt to use his skills in order to achieve his goals.
2. Obviously, although both characters, Burton and Speke, embark on the proyect about set up the Mountains of the Moon, the motivations and the attitude towards other cultures and people are totally different. Richard wants to learn the more than he can in all the aspects. In contrast, Speke only chases fame and fortune.
3. Both of them feel they are fantastic friends. They have to pass for many, tough and different trials along their journey and that prove them they can trust one on each other. Unfortunatelly, Speke's feelings changes when they come back from the second journey.
4. Victorian society is too many right, polite and a little bit conceited. What I want to say is if anybody doesn't belong to their social class, they don't accept him or her in their circle. Burton doesn't belong to that society, he doesn't care, though.
5. Burton feels and knows he can learn much thanks to the slave medecine man. Moreover, they get on frankly well. When this man is murdered in a chilling way, Burton feels he's failt that man and his honour ( he promised to that man that he would protect to him).
6. Not only is Burton terribly sick and injured, ( he cannot take an another large journey), but also he is jelaows for his friend.
7. Speke thinks Victoria's lake is the source of the Nile whereas Burton indicates that with no measures and tests probably Victoria's lake would be a false source. It is Speke who is right.
8. With regard to the betray, I don't remember that part. I remember Speke betrays Burton because Lowry says to him Burton doesn't mention to Speke in his publications. When Burton hears about Speake wants to go back to Africa one more time without him, Burton doesn't react like the society wants.
9. Of couse, Lowry is absolutely angry with Burton and relieves all his fury against Burton, who blames to the Speke's suicide. Despite Lowry sentence, Burton knows journalists trust on him.
10. Burton is bereaved with Speke, of course he is. Having passed all of that, we notice he remembers Speke with a special affection when he is sculpting his face.
11. We don't reduce to our learning, acknowledge when we travel. We have to open our minds and steep ourselves in the different folklores, cultures, people, traditions and so on.
