Music

I like music, very much. I´d like to be a musician, not only because I think it´s cool (money, fame, those kind of things) but being able to compose songs and to play instruments and doing all of this as a job sounds really pleasant (it sounds as though you'd use a more enthusiastic word like 'great' or 'fun' as pleasant is very average) . Although I can´t play any instruments, and not even close to being a good singer, I enjoy music anyway.

In fact, besides literature, one aspect I admire from Anglo-Saxon culture is its music. I like jazz and blues but I´m particularly interested in rock and many of its variants.

My favorite band is The Beatles. "Love me do", "Can´t buy me love", "Let it be", "Hey jude", "A day in a life" and "Get Back", are just some examples of songs I enjoy listening to all of the time. A couple of years ago, a group of friends and I player The Beatles: Rock Band, and playing their songs (or rather, pretending that we´re playing their songs) was a delightful experience.

Other than The Beatles, I also like Nirvana, Queen, Guns N´Roses, Metallica, Rolling Stones , and many sole artists like Michael Jackson and Chuck Berry to name a few.

writing ending with the phrase: "and she smiled and walked away"

My passion is driving around my country looking for weird stories and superstitions, and I try to figure out by myself if they are true or not.
The past year, I went to Cordoba, a place situated in the center of Argentina, and the local people told me that, once at day, strange lights or objects like UFO`s appear at the top of the Uritorco`s mountain. I spent two days up there, but I didn't see a light, a UFO or any other human being.
Two or three weeks after, I went to Salta, one of the northeast parts of Argentina, and I heard a story that really disturbed me.
Local people said that if you, for some reason, need to travel from a little town called Animana to the next one, you have to do it before midnight. If you don't, in the middle of the route, a woman dressed in white will suddenly appear inside your car and scare to death.
After driving several hours, I arrived to Animana and at midnight I started my exciting journey.
Nobody was there, except the path, my car and me, or at least, that was I'm thinking.
I started to feel really tired and I stopped my car for a while, closed my eyes for a moment and when I opened them, I saw a white shadow close to me. I felt how my heart stopped and I was so scared that I couldn't move any muscles in my body. The shadow became a women dressed in white who asked me: "Do you believe now?". And before I could say another word, she smiled and walked away.

Will dispute inhibit learning?

I concede that under certain circumstances that disputing inhibits learning. For instance, we can look no further than the television set. Dispute manifests itself in rhetorical bouts and shouting matches. The combatants rarely find common ground with others and acknowledge others’ merits. Dispute also inhibits learning when the debaters fail to agree on the fundamental presumptions that are necessary for discourse. For example, a paleontology student might find it impossible to communicate the theory of evolution with an individual whose religious system prevents the evolution from the beginning. A finance graduate may not deepen their insights into the laisse-faire system via debating with a socialist, who argues that centralized power should control all the economic activities. However, aside from these two forgoing provisos, discourse and debate help people to gain more knowledge, whether at a personal, communal or global level. At a personal level, by listening to the rationale of the seemingly oppressive rules, teenagers would know that certain behaviors naturally carry undesirable results. By listening to the teenagers’ voice about autonomy, parents would find that effective parenting and control are two different things. At a communal level, through dispassionate dialogue an environmental activist can understand the legitimate economic concerns of a factory owner who relies on revenues to sustain his business. Conversely, the factory owner might stand to understand the importance of public health and environment protection by realizing huge amounts of resources are needed to deal with pollution. Finally, at the global level, by dispute and discourse, two countries might realize a mutually beneficial agreement by striving to understand the other country’s legitimate concern for its national security, political sovereignty, the stability of it's economy and currency.

The best day of my life

The best day of my life was when I was 15 years old, on my birthday. That day was very special for me because in my country when girls turn 15 years old, the girls become a woman, and normally has a big party. But in my case, all day i was at the shopping centre buying clothes. After that I ate my favourite food at my favourite restaurant, and I continued walking with my friends, taking a lot of photos and doing crazy things. Finally in the evening, I went to the cinema to see a film that I was have wanted to see for a long time and I enjoyed it so much!! That day was totally (uncommon word in english for this phrasing but not incorrect, maybe use incredibly or super instead?) funny and nice (you could use a more positive word than nice as in english nice is like kinda good but not anything special. Maybe you could say great or amazing), I'll always remember it.
