The Dances of Rapa Nui
Rapa Nui is a Chilean island located in the Pacific Ocean. This Island is famous for its Moais and cautivant captivating culture and dance; personally, I love their dances and music.
Their music and dance is of Polynesian origin. Among the most characteristic dances of the Island are:
1.- Sau-Sau: This dance represents a romantic colloquium(not sure what you mean here) on a boat among the waves. This is shown with the soft movement of the hands and hips of the womens.
2.- Ula-Ula: In this dance the womens move their hands and hips wavily and slowly but without provocative intention. The feet are supported by the heel and the fingertips alternate with the sensual movement of their hands.
3.-Tamuré: Fundamentally masculine, in this dance acrobatic leg movements and strong hip movements are performed.
4.-Kai-Kai: is a short chant about legends while they use a thread to draw figures.
Hakaroe maitoru haite mahingae
akaro akaro maite atua moto hinememe
mato kiraro ki rapa nui ta hoka hingae
Yo te añoro mi Pascua querida
Hangara Tue Re Rapa Nui Toku Matu
Miro el mar y la luna brillando
Y te lloro en mi canto aquí estoy
Mi Rapa Nui te doy
Todo mi ser mi voz
Y creo que mi canto
Es solo amor por ti
Tepito te enua
(tepito te enua)
En mi sueño estás tú
(en mi sueño estas tú)
Viajo a la noche tibia
Hacia tu cielo azul
Contenta estoy cantando
Y desde aquí te bailo
Recibe tú esta ofrenda
Es solo amor por ti.
Contenta estoy cantando
Y desde aquí te bailo
Recibe tú esta ofrenda
Es solo amor por ti.

Two years ago, I travelled to Bolivia; its weather is colder than Lima's. When I get there, I stayed in a two-stars hotel, then I went sightseeing so that I could see interesting places. The people were friendly. The most amazing place in my opinion was "El Salar de Uyuni". In my opinion, if you go for a walk there, you will see the sky in your feet (what does this mean?). Also, I could sailed in a small boat in Titicaca Lake and visited the Uros Islands. In fact, there are a lot of places that you can visit in this country.0 votedAugust 28, 20170I believe in miracles
There are two kinds of the miracles. The first are some marvelous things that are done by prophets and every Moslems believes in them. The second are some marvels that happen in our lives that we don't expect. Believing in the miracles makes us hopeful in disappointing situations. When somebody is trapped in a difficult situation and thinks there is no solution for his problem, only believing in God and his help will make him optimistic and a miracle can solve the problem and rescue him from that trap.0 votedAugust 19, 20170My life, my thoughts
Yesterday, I was still feeling bad. I went to walk with my younger daughter. She is only one. She doesn't walk, she crawls. She crawled around the playground and I watched for her. During the dinner I said to my husband, that I would go to study cosmetology next month, if we had enough money. If I had studied that last year, I would have earned own money. I'm planning to watch some videos about this theme in the evening, unless I'm not busy.лучше не перевести, есть слишком много разниц между языками)))

In today's day and age, different cities or even different countries are more and more connected to each other.(end sentence here) Now it is very common that one works in a place far away from his or her family. Many university graduates get jobs in big cities, which are not their hometowns. (end sentence here) They are away from their families all year long and only go home for a few days each year.
With regard to this phenomenon, what make us glad is that this shows today's society is more and more equal for all people. One can work anywhere, depending on his ability and interest, no matter where is he from. On the other hand ( both of these sentences reference positive aspects of this phenomenon, so 'on the other hand is not appropriate here) This is also good for the development of the society. The talented can go to the most suitable places to which they can donate their advantages contribute their skills. (I think this might be a better way to phrase your point).
However, people working far away from their family also causes some social problems. Parents always feel lonely if all their children live far away from them; old people generally tend to stay in their hometowns, so they are not going to live in the city where their children work. For the people who work away from their hometowns, the connection between them and their relatives will be weakened as time goes by. Luckily we have internet and smart phones nowadays, which enable us to contact our families at any time (end sentence here). This makes the distance not as important to some extent.
From my point of view, it is hard to avoid that many people will work away from their families. People should go to the right places to work, in order to give their best contributions to the society. With the development of the science and technology, distance should not be the barrier (end sentence here) One day there will be no more disadvantages in terms because of distance.
8/10--just focus on definite/indefinite articles and commas
(Please grade this essay (0-10), and give your correction, thank you!)0 votedAugust 15, 20173Thoughts after watching Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk
I am trying to improve my writing skills, I hope that somebody helps me correct this article. Thanks.
Finally, last night I watched this film, unfortunately I could not go to the cinema to see the 120 frames version. I believe this movie has a charm, it makes me feel sad, but not sorrowful after watching it. Unlike other movies there is no relief, I just can’t let it go. I feel that somebody threw a stone to my heart and the stone keeps sinking. Our society will eventually run towards the inconceivable future, and we can do nothing about this.
I like to write options anonymously in Zhihu (the Chinese version of Quora), especially when facing a controversial topic. I am afraid of endless arguing, I am not that kind of “smart” guy, I can not write thousands of words to fight back like some famous users in ZhiHu.
Every time when I write something, no matter what it is, there will be lots of people who disagree with me and leave evil comments under the article. They can catch every uncertainty “loophole” in your article and slam you.
This is the war of language; absurd, isn’t it?
I don’t know if other people feel like me, sometimes I think that human beings will finally go to war or worse maybe end our world. I can remember, when I was in high school, the most popular idea was that our world was flat. At that time in China, everything was under inflated. We had tasted the sweetness of reform and opening-up. Everyone was talking about globalization, and how the future will benefit from this. I thought after this we would go to Pax Romana.
However, de-globalization came, and more and more terrorism around the world.
One of our feet is already wet.
A few days ago, the Australia Senate refused the request for a plebiscite for same-sex marriage. Unluckily, Australia will host a postal vote on same-sex marriage which will cost millions of dollars. Just this morning one headline came to my eye, Sugar Baby (Turnbull’s Chinese direct translation) says Australia would come to the aid of the US if North Korea starts an attack against the western powers.
The politician doesn’t want two people who love each other to get married, but they can easily start a war. Another absurdity.
Once in English class, we were talking about politics, I asked my teacher if Australia's prime minister had passed a new rule that people really don’t like, is there any method to stop it? She thought for a while and said, “Maybe not.”
Maybe not, that is our fate.0 votedAugust 11, 20171
