- Preguntas sobre la integración ¿Es posible que los distintos grupos étnicos puedan integrarse a la sociedad y también conservar su propia cultura? ¿Cuáles son los factores que facilitan la integración y cuáles los factores que lo impiden? ¿Qué debemos hacer para crear un sentido de unidad en una sociedad multiracial? ¿Qué se puede hacer para promover un sentimiento de pertenencia? He contestado estas preguntas para colegio, pero estoy interesada ver sus repuestas también. :)December 16, 201620
It is better to work at home than in an office?
Nowadays, technology allows us to have some benefits when we are working. One of them is the option of working from home or from an office. However, this is not always positive at all.
On the one hand, working in an office lets you have contact with other people such as customers and collegues, which makes you socialize more and be more tolerant and open-minded. It is the opposite if you work from home; maybe you are less disturbed on your own, but you are also losing some of the most important skills regarding social life.
On the other hand, an important aspect is the amount of hours that you work. When you work in an office, you usually know what time you start and at what time you will finish, but that hardly ever happens at home. Working at home means you work more hours and are less productive. Furthermore, it can make you feel exhausted.
In summary, working in an office has many more positives than working from home. If you work out of home, you have a more organized life and you are constantly developing social abilities.0 votedDecember 12, 20160Song about my country.
In the shanty towns, in the senate
trash around all sides,
Nobody respects the constitution,
but every believes in the nation's future.

Write about manners and etiquette for a dinner party or other social occasion in your country. If you like, you can imagine that you are giving advice to a foreign visitor. What is expected of people? What is polite and impolite? Type in the input box. Write 150-200 words.
***************************************************
Good manners are one of the pillars of a civilized society. Different people in the same country have different ideas about the etiquette, and various cultures have their own list of rules and regulations about people’s behavior in different situations.
Russia is famous for its hospitality and love of people in various social events. That is the reason why I want to write about parties and setouts - in particular, about rules of etiquette and nuances which foreigners should know.
First of all, in my country, we don’t ever wear shoes inside the house, but you can ask for slippers if you are not comfortable without any footwear. It’s totally fine.
The second thing you need to remember is that you are obligated to bring a gift for the hosts, like a bottle of wine, whisky, brandy or some flowers and a box of chocolates. It is important to know that if the hosts have children, you need to buy a toy for them as well.
If you have received an invitation to a birthday party and you are not sure about the present, you may consider bringing money as the gift.
These are a few aspects of our etiquette and Russian mentality.0 votedDecember 12, 20161My first snowstorm in Toronto
Yesterday I lived through my first snowstorm. It is the first one that I've ever seen but I think that it is just the beginning xD. When I came here I knew it would be like this but it is different to live through it. Firstly, you have to wear layers of clothes, and secondly, you have to have time for this because if you are going to a date and you are a little delayed, you won't be able to arrive on time.
Anyway I need to buy waterproof boots to survive this season because with my boots my feet are frozen!!0 votedDecember 12, 20161- Una carta al diputado sobre la integración (los deberes) Estimado señor/señora, Hoy en día, hay muchos problemas en relación con la inmigración y la integración. Los inmigrantes enfrentan mucha discriminación, ¡y este debe parar! Cuando los inmigrantes llegan al país de destino, se sienten muy despreciados y rechazados, y este puede ser debido a muchas razones diferentes. La mayoría de los inmigrantes recién llegados de África, Asia y el este de Europa no saben el idioma materno, así que hay una barrera idiomática. Este puede ser solucionado por más cursos para enseñar los idiomas. Además, muchos inmigrantes lo encuentran difícil a encontrar un lugar para vivir porque los propietarios no quieren alquilar pisos a inmigrantes o les alquilan pisos o casas en muy mal estados. Es una situación similar cuando los inmigrantes intentan conseguir trabajo - o los inmigrantes no consiguen empleo o se les emplea pero con un salario muy bajo y sin derechos laborales. Es muy importante que las ciudadanos traten a los inmigrantes con respecto. Finalmente, en las grandes ciudades es difícil para los hijos inmigrantes obtener puestos al colegios, y si obtienen puestos es posible que sufran discriminación de los otros hijos. Por lo tanto, es imprescindible que la educación sobre los inmigrantes y la integración es mejorado en los colegios así que los hijos están más tolerantes. Espero que tomes mis ideas en consideración. Saludos, EmmaDecember 12, 201650
I want to be myself
I'm stuck in a situation about my personality that has been building up for a long time. I'm an introvert girl, compared to all my outgoing and lively sisters and cousins, I'm not the obvious one in my family. I never thought that would be a problem for me even though I know being outgoing would be easier for me to adopt a social life. It is because I don't really enjoy other people putting their eyesight on me and I don't like to be in the spotlight in a group. However, I'm good at observing other people's behavior and I like to listen to what people are talking about, and if I was lively I couldn't do this. The reason why I want to change myself is because of my relatives, that's why I don't like to participate in our family gathering. They always say some awkward words in front of me or my parents to judge my personality. I don't care what they say but I am afraid my parents will reproach themselves because my earlier experience makes me unconfident. I have explained to them many times but sometimes I still can feel their guilt. So I try to make myself look lively in front of others and pretend I like to socialise with everyone. But I feel I'm so fake and I don't even know who I am. I feel so tired of being camouflaged. Can't I just be myself?0 votedDecember 12, 20160Things that happened today
Well, I’ll try to write something that has happened everyday here, for in order to improving improve my English writing, and I’m also looking forward to have having some friends from other countries.
Frankly, it was boring today. After having my classes this morning, I went to the school canteen with my friend, and I had a short sleep so that I could focus on my assignment. Unfortunately, it occurred to me that I had to get my transcript printed this in the afternoon (I’m now preparing the application for a masters degree). These things really make me upset, because there will be a lot of formalities awaiting me! So, I spent about 90 minutes running among several offices, with always saying ‘thank you, teacher’. Finally, I spent the rest of the day in the library, but the my working efficiency is was not good.
That was the my day, lacking exercises or any other interesting things.0 votedDecember 12, 20161
