My diligent father.

My father is now well over sixty, but is still going strong. He has been retired for many years (or "he retired many years ago"). He was a peasant once (we don't really use the word 'peasant', but everyone will understand what you mean. Instead you can say "he was once very poor) . he had worked in the fields for many years. He still likes working in the fields currently if he has time though but,he is not dependent on farming . He grows all kinds of vegetables for us . Sso, that Mmy family does not need to buy any vegetables from the market . We all think it this is nice. Bbut there now one new problem arose. The amount of vegetables he has grown is too much to eat up by our family for our family to eat, so  Then we advised him to sell the other spare vegetables on at the local farming market. But he said "I only like growing vegetables, I do not like selling them."

English class

I had an English class today. Our teacher Susan is an excellent tutor. She is very kind but strict with our learning.
We learned the Bible first ,then we learned some common American Expressions. It's very interesting that many American idioms are as the same as some old sayings in China. like this one: “You reap what you sow”. In Chinese we say :“种瓜得瓜，种豆得豆”. Is this amazing?

My travel experience

When I was 15 I traveled to the USA with my aunt.
We went to Plymouth, Boston. It was amazing and I felt in love with everything there. People was were really polite and friendly, and I loved to have breakfast at Nicole's,. It Nicole's is a restaurant and it is near to the coast.
The weather was really diferent that than in my country. because While it was winter in Chile was winter, in Boston it was summer. So, that year I enjoyed two summer to goto the beach and eat ice cream. (I'm not fully sure about what you're trying to say. Did you enjoy two summer activities (going to the beach and eating ice cream))

I ate a lot of new things, and I learned new words that helped me in the school.

With my aunts and I we walked across took walks in the forest, and we even we rode a bicycles. There I met people from a lot of different countries. The forest is amazing, I love the nature in place like that.

Also, I also traveled to Los Angeles, CA. I went to hollywood and Universal Studios. I loved the smoothies and lemonades that I drank there.

I was very surprised with the cheap shops and also with all the places to have fun in along the coast.

It was an amazing trip, that I hope never forget it.

So hot in Paraguay.

Now it's It is 10:48 pm and the temperature in my city is around 31 degrees. You may say ''What's the problem with that?'' Well, the problem is that here it isn't summer yet here, we are only in spring just.

Today in Asunción, at midday, the temperature was around 48 degrees. It was pretty hot. The good news is that in Paraguay, thanks God, we have a lot of drinking water. Paraguay has many rivers and streams, so the people can calm cool down in the high temperature. Foreigners people who come here feel are surprised because they can't believe that we use drinking water to do everything like take a bath, clean the car and watering the plants. It's common to see people drink a drinking called ''Tereré''. It's a drink what we prepare with cold water and some medicine plants and is drinking we drink it in a ''guampa'' with yerba. It's very refreshing and is a traditional drinking in my country. If you come here, you have to taste this.

Another thing very common thing we do here when here it's so hot, is the cut of electric energy because the transformers can not cope in spite of we our having two of the biggest hydroelectric dams of in America. Sadly, our authorities never search look for a solution for that so it's normal for us that any day we don't to not have electric energy for minutes or hours!

Anyway, the good side part is that this weather is utilized wonderful to go to take a sun bath or go with the family or friends to a swimming pool with family and friends. There are a lot of places to go to spentd time around of a swimming pool or a river. Paraguay doesn't have a sea so if we want to go to the beach, we have to go abroad.

Don't worry if it's spring or winter, here it's always summer.

It is ok for oil companies to drill in the Arctic Ocean?

I know there are plenty of people and environmental groups that are against oil companies because of the pollution damage they cause to their surroundings, but I would support them working in the Arctic as long as they improve the way they extract the oil. I would encourage them to enhance their technology.
As far as I know, we just have oil reserves for a few more years and if we don´t find other ways to create energy we are going to be forced to drill wherever we can. We will not have more choice, considering the growth rate of population as well.
