Другой концерт оркестра

Я не писала на italki долгое время, потому что была занята. Недавно я выступала в оркестре. Музыка была довольно сложная, и мне нужно было играть на альте каждый день, чтобы готовиться.

Мы играли Пятую симфонию Шостаковича. Я была очень рада, что у меня была такая возможность, потому что Шостакович - один из моих любимых композиторов. Это сочинение нелегко играть, а мы лишь оркестр музыкантов-любителей. Конечно, наше исполнение не было совершенное, но учитывая обстоятельства, я думаю, что мы играли неплохо. И, что важно, мне было весело!

Venezuela

I woke up at 6 oclock in the morning. After having eaten a quick breakfast I drove to my office. While I was driving I switched on the radio to listen to the news. One of the breaking news was related to Venezuela. I was shocked.
First, I have never been to Venezuela. I would like to go there, but it is very far from where I live, in Spain. I know a little bit about the country. It is rich due to fossil fuels reserves that are under its territory. I thought how a country, like Venezuela, could suffer such a big economic depression that indeed it is affecting to venezuelan people.
Yesterday, the Presindent of Venezuela approved some acts to reduce the power of Parliament. Without entering to discuss it, mainly because I haven´t made a clear opinion, how can Venezuela reach this position.
As far as I know, maybe economic and political crisis are a consequence of shrinking of the petrol's price. I have read in differents newspapers that the extraction cost of one barril in Venezuela is around 90 USD, while petrol is traded at the international markets around 50 USD. How can a country survive in such a situation?

I've got a lot of dreams, the main of which is to be happy. Some years ago I really refused from one of my greatest dreams since my parents told me do that, but today I'm giving rebirth to my old dream and striving to achieve it. If one believes in his dream, it will come true :)
