Interesting article. I've always been a bit embarrassed going to other countries and simply speaking English, but what I've come to realise is that by and large most people from all over the world turn to English when they cannot speak to someone in their native language. For travelling, it is basically a necessity that you can speak English to some degree 

Completely agree that accent is the key difference really. I would guess that 95% of the vocab is the same or easily understandable. I can converse with Americans or Australians perfectly well. Don't get too hung up on learning an English accent and don't be fooled into thinking that all Brits speak the same way. You may be very disappointed if, having perfected your Downton Abbey accent, you find you are speaking to a Scot! 

It's slang for babe. Es como cariño

why I travel throughout South America?

Today I realized that 8 year ago I asked for my first passport and it remains reminds me why I did it. I was in Bogota, studying engeneering at University. I was in the fourth  year of the my degree and I met a guy whom will would become one of my best friends. At that time we started to talk about life, about goals, hobbies and likes, and then I noticed that we both had things in common, the disere desire to travel and visit new places.

I had met him before as at the university, but since that day we started to talk more and to share ideas of how we were going to do to make of our dreams come true. And that is all, one year after later I was we were requesting with him our passports to start a trip throughout South America by bus. Amazing! The plan was to travel to Peru, Bolivia a little bit part of Brazil and the North of Argetine Argentina, to finish in Buenos Aires. While in on our way we would have the chance to visit some of the most representative (I am not sure what you mean here? But representative doesn't really fit) and outstanding natural places.

We made a journey plan searching on the internet about the best way to get to those places, the cost and all the helpful tips that would make our trip more pleasant. We picked the places that must be visited, and the list finished with 5 places: Machu Pichu (Peru), Desert of Uyuni (Bolivia), Titicaka Lake (Bolivia) , Iguazu waterfalls (Brazil) and Buenos Aires (Argentine Argentina). The last one, although it was not a natural place, it was considered for us as one of the places we had to see worth-see.

Finally, tThat trip changed our life and from after that it comes we have seen more places, gained more experiences and the most importantly thing, met more people that stick in on our hearts hearths.

The Reasons why I love Manchester United

it all began when i was in 10th grade. At that time I was playing the football manager game, because I wanwhy to feel how it was to be a football manager and then a chose Manchester United as the club I managed.
I can always take Man Utd to the top 4 or even win the league and champions league.   it kept managing Man Utd until 2055 in that game,  I never changed which team I wanted to manage and I feel really really close to Man United.  I watch every Man Utd game and when I do I feel like I am in that stadium,  feeling the atmosphere when man utd scorI a goal,  feeling really happy, but  when man utd concede I'm feeling so sad and disappointed.

That's how I became one of Man Utd's big fans.
