Hi all, My name is Mercedes. It's long time ago that I began to learning English, but I always realize the same: It is impossible to improve a language if you don't practice it frequently. Nowdays, I have an objective: Don't stop to learn English, so I'll improve really my English skills. It must be part of my life. I'm a Computer Engineer but after 6 years working on it as professional, I decided to change my live and I became a mathematics teacher in Secundary School. It made me so happy, but the recently Goverment's Education cuts have made me an unemployed more in Spain. So, I'm looking for taiki teachers and partners. I will be very grateful for any help. Regards, Mercedes

    El Campo

    ¡Hoy, vamos a ir el al (it's always "ir a" but in Spanish, when you want to say "a el" you should say "al") campo de los ¨Cub Scouts¨! ¿Los conoce? Cub Scouts es un grupo de niños que juegan, van de camping, y aprenden muchas cosas. Tengo dos hijos. El menor tiene ocho años y el mayor tiene diez años. A ellos les gustan (Cub Scout is plural) los Cub Scouts. Vamos a dormir en una cabaña. Estoy muy feliz por que hoy hace sol y calor. En Seattle, en general, hace mucha lluvia (it doesn't sound natural, I would say "llueve mucho"). ¿Hay un grupo como los Cub Scouts in en su país?

     

    <em>Welldone Su-Chin. In Spain we have Scout too. They could be catholic or not. I were a girl Scout long time ago, indeed. :-)</em>

    Hi lily, I'm Spanish, so I can send you as many songs as you want. To begin, I'm sending you a song by a Spanish singer called Amaral. I think her letters are well understood. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvk8hT4uMcY Enjoy!

    The two-party predominance ending It is clear that we have had a two-party predominance system since almost the beginning of Spanish democracy. Every 4 years, when the polls take place, PP (right wing) and PSOE (left wing) fight among themselves in order to get the majority. Personally, I think it only makes undermine the population and the democracy. In our two-party system, the parties don’t make a difference when they come to power. While they are in electoral campaign they claim to be concerned about society different problems and promise to uphold the causes if they win. Even so, at the end parties do nothing to work out them and Spain is declining every year; we are in recession, the public spending is constantly decreasing, the unemployment rate is soaring, there are cutbacks in education and the tuition fees are increasing continually. Furthermore, people lose faith on politics when they are struggling to meet ends met while politicians become more corrupt than ever. By other hand, when the government launches a new initiative and all the politicians have to vote against or for it, any of the members of a party are able to vote in a different way of the party. If they do, they are punished with a fee and a political penalty. In other words, there is not a real democracy and population loses faith too on that. They decide to vote isn’t worth. Hardly anyone bother to vote in comparison with the first democracy ages. Nevertheless, something has changed in last elections and there are new parties which do come across to be aware of the current society problems. I am fairly expectant to see how they can do make the difference in our country or, at least, how the two old parties are going to reach an agreement with the new ones.
