Proposal to host a conference
Dear Madam,
I am writing this letter on behalf of the youth counselor in order to propose our city to as host of the Vanguard Conference.
It is a well-known fact that young people, especially teenagers, need places as well as healthy ways to spend their free time. We have been developing a plan over the last three years to provide them with as many resources as possible. We have built sports areas in every neighbourhood. We have created a group of volunteers to help in the nursing home, as we think that being in touch with elder people can be an eye-opening experience. In addition, we have equipped our city with wheelchair facilities, to enable wheelchair users to move around the city and to participate in every activity which is offered.
As this is a small city, unfortunately, we do not receive huge grants from the government. Thus, this could be a great opportunity to make the country aware of the improvements we are achieving. Furthermore, it might also bring about benefits regarding in relation to tourism, since our city has a lot to offer to the visitors.
Apart from that, our city is located in the centre of the country, which is an advantage for the gathering a gathering of this type. Visitors will also enjoy our warm dry weather.
For these reasons, we are sure our city is the perfect candidate to host the conference. Should you need further information, do not hesitate to contact us, we are entirely at your disposal.
We are looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely,---
very good! espero con ganas visitar esta ciudad extraordinaria, jaja.

In recent days I have written here about some bands which changed the music world in the past. Today, I am going to write about a one-off band composed of some of the most famous artists of the 80s. Rock, pop and soul legends, who met just one time to record a song, the profits from which would be destined to help Africa and especially Ethiopia.
That song became a hit, which got to number one in the charts in most countries in the world. Everybody alive during the 80s can remember that song. Still now, I feel good when I hear those wonderful voices of Michael Jackson, Cindy Lauper, Paul Simon, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Kim Carnes, Ray Charles, Tina Turner, etc... I must confess that I love them. I feel nostalgic for that decade, that seems to me now so far away. I think music used to be much better than today and the stars from before were really stars and they really had talent. They were artists and worked hard to be good musicians. I'm sorry but I don't think the same about the music stars from today. Sure I am getting old...
I don't want to finish this composition/draft without mentioning also the most wonderful voice of that legendary meeting in 1985. I mean the great Stevie Wonder. Nobody could sing like him.0 votedMay 26, 20181- El ascenso de los espacios “co-working” El los últimos años, se han popularizado en varias ciudades los espacios “co-working”. En estos espacios, cada usuario paga para obtener acceso a un escritorio, una conexión internet y donde enchufar los aparatos, y puede trabajar en sus proyectos. Hay gente que trabaja cada día en el mismo espacio - ya que típicamente no cuesta tanto como alquilar su propia oficina - y hay gente también que pasa solo unas pocas horas en un espacio y no vuelven nunca. Hay incluso personas conocidas como “nómadas digitales”. No se quedan en un ciudad o país durante más de unas semanas; viajan por todas partes, y pueden seguir trabajando, siempre que tienen un portátil y una conexión. En mi caso, trabajo como desarrollador de ordenadores, que es un tipo de trabajo que se presta bien al “trabajo remoto”. Sin embargo, tengo dos hijos (de 9 y 14 años), y eso hace un poco más difícil la vida de un nómada digital. Por eso, he conseguido un bueno equilibrio: trabajar tres días a la semana en un espacio co-working muy cerca de mi casa, y dos días en la oficina de la empresa para que trabajo, situada en el centro de Londres.May 26, 201831
PAST PERFECT story
I went to Shiraz last month. Before I arrived, my friend called me. He wanted to see me. I asked him "What happened?" then he cried and said "someone has stolen my wallet. All my cash and credit cards were in it. I don't know what to do! Do you have any suggestions?" I asked him "How did it happen? Where were you?" He was so angry. He told me that he parked his car in the parking space and when he came back to his car someone had broken the car's windshield and stolen his wallet. There were 1500 dollars in it. He wanted to buy something for his father's birthday. Then I lent some money to him. When I came back home, the police had caught the thief. He called me and said he had transferred my money to my credit card.0 votedMay 22, 20180
