Questa storia comincia dai piedi del viandante, possiamo tornare alla storia, lui andava/camminava lungo il Biviere di Lentini ,e poi, essendo curioso, e ha detto “Qui Questo posto di chi e’?” - -sentiva rispondersi : "Di mazzaro’". E passando vicino a una fattoria grande quanto un paese ,"Qui di chi e’？", "Di Mazzaro’".e pio poi, si incontrano le lunghe file degli aranti di Mazzaro’ . le immense machine blanesastre (? non conosco questa parola) delle mandrie di Mazzaro’.Pareva che Mazzaro’ fossse disteso su tutto grande per quanto era grande la terra ,e che gli si camminasse sulla pancia (perfetta! molto brava!). Seconda Da questo discorso , capiamo che Mazzaro’ sia cosi ricco come Bill Gates americano e Lijiacheng cinese. Ma Mazzaro’ e’ diverso, per esempio , “lui andava senza scarpe a lavorare nella terra che adesso era sua, e ingozzato si ingozzava in fretta e in furia all’impiedi ,in un cantuccio del magazzino.” Lui non possede la famiglia, i figli ,o gli amici, anche sua madre anche e’ morta , ma lui lavora ancora faticosamente tutto il giorno ,perche’ lui fa cosi? Cosa Quale e’ la sua forza dinamica?La Una persona non e’ una tartaruga , la vita umana non e’ superiore a cento anni. La morte lascia tutto, anche la roba/ le cose , ma lui e’ solo, chi fa dare a chi darà la sua roba? E’ una cosa molto difficile di da comprendere per me, quello il fatto che lui continui ad ammucchiare e amare la sua roba, continui a vivere in modo povero, perche’ non si gode la vita ? Forse e’ deciso dalla sua concezione del valore della vita. Questa storia e’ molto difficile e profonda per me, la morale della storia è che Mazzaro’ consuma tutta la sua vita per la sua roba e alla fine e’ muore tristemente. All’ Nell'ultimo momento lui ancora pensa alla sua roba, crediamo che lui sia molto ridicolo, nel frattempo, quello che fa pensare ma allo stesso tempo ci fa pensare (volevi dire questo?).Oggi in Cina, quanti Mazzaro’ ci sono? Quante robe possono farci soddisfare? Quante robe possediamo in modo da noi crediamo farci credere che siamo di essere ricchi. In Cina , ci sono molti schiavi di soldi come Mazzaro’, ma la nascita e’ nullatenente e la morte e’ nullatenente, quello e’ l’unico fine per tutti i uomini.
Brava! Leggi molto italiano e continua a scrivere! 我们就可以互相帮助！

Whereas an adult is totally aware about television benefits and risks, a child have to be led while choosing the channel to watch at. It seems to me that, with the right help, children can improve significantly them learning skills. television has a lot of way to spread knowledge, as example children's series, as well as documentaries and the new-born tutorial programs. Different channels have chosen to broadcast only programs for children. Some of them are aimed at teaching alphabet and first reading rules, others use different songs in foreing languages and explain little grammar exercises. Every episode seems a short lesson and try to grap children's attention. Television offers also interesting movies and documentaries. An historical movie about the second world war can help kids to remember important information and to study history more easily. Documentaries can also be usefull to learn much more about specific topics: wild animals, space explorations, natural oasis and so on. Everyone can find something about his particular passion, and enjoy these programs. A brand new type of programs are based on tutorials. These were born on internet: tahnks to short videos people start to teach to viewers them personal secrets about beauty or homemade stuffs. Now it is possible to find some usefull information or suggestion about uor problems just watching television. The screen of television is a window abroad the world, it can show almost everything about other cultures or states and it finally open up our mind. Althought it has also a lot of entertainment programs, aimed at relaxing your mind, it is important to remember that initially it was used in order to teach the national language to isolated country men.December 18, 201340
- Oracle Night review All the novel is covered by a mysterious sensation; we read about every characters story and we try to find a connection between them all. Sid is a marginal Brooklyn writer, married and fully in love with Grace. Thanks to his wife, Sid had known John Trause, an important and influent writer. We follow Sid, who writes the story in first person, in his daily routine and we discover he has physical injuries for an unknown accident. During one of his walk he buys a strange blue notebook and starts to write in it. The mysteries grow, we can barely distinct Sid life from Nick Bowen’s (his novel protagonist) life and during his writing Sid subconscious seems to bound with his conscious. Thus, we can link some Sid’s life episodes with his story: as Nick Bowen, Sid’s wife decides to disappear for a entire day, not leaving advice. In the same way Sid has a sort of interruption of his career (although the help gave by Trause), his character is locked in a underground fortified holding cell. In the last pages Sid writes his interpretation about the last days events: we discover why he has physical injuries; he figure out that his wife has been so strange because she had betrayed him with Trause, her historical friend; and he can understand why Trause’s son has always hated Grace. When Sid decides to destroy the notebook, hoping to stop the circle of those strange events, the worst happens. After a tragic situation, Sid and his wife can go back to them simple life; without any preoccupations. I have found this book unusual; for a big part of my reading I cannot understand the story and the aim of it, and that make me feel bored and confused. In the end I figured out that the lack of resolution of all the events is intentional and underline our natural intention to give meanings to every events, even if they have not.December 16, 201360
- Give your opinion about the use of the Internet amoung youngsters nowadays The Internet has become one of the most powerfull instruments of this new generation. Whereas I learnt to use the personal computer in my teenages, everyone now strarts to use it from childhood. Thus changed a lot of aspects of life. The youngest users can access to digital musical library, without waiting the allowance to buy a CD in a shop. They can also find easily more information about thier studies, and they are helped when looking for sources for essays. Moreover, schools started to use online registers, in order to inform quikly the family and the child about his/her results. When you think about your first indipendence choices, you immediately think about music. The possibility of listening to all the musical genres can help to find more easily your identity. One can listen to pop, rock and afro, and then choose what is his favourite style. Internet musical library are constantly in expansion and visiting it is a very good way to find one's favourite singers. The Internet is also full of information. To write essays we used to read a giant number of pages in old and heavy encyclopedias, sometimes without finding something usefull. Now, one just need a click, and then can figure out everything he wants. It is a very quickly way to study and can also improve the capacity of avoiding the worthless elements. As a consequence, elementary and middle schools start to use internet too. They create their own web sites in which you can find the class registers, with all the marks updated. In this way, a family can easily follow the child scholastic iter. It is really innovative for parents that haven't time to go to school to speak with teachers. These grate changes have improved the personal education level, and these really represent the future. But it is important to rember that the Internet can also be bad used from child, and consequently, it can give to them untrue information or adult reserved contents. Following children while surfing the net should be a rule for parents, at last for the first year of use. What do you think about that?December 13, 201310
- Canada Hi" Some days ago I wrote a brief essay about Canada! I hope you enjoy reading it! Travelling the world is something that everyone would like to do. If one is young and is studying foreign languages is normal that he starts to think about a new place to study or to live. In these last years one of the most favourite goals for changing life is Canada. Whereas Americans jeer at Canadians and this country is always under the shadow of the United States, everyone recognize its magnificent features. First of all Canada has beautiful landscapes and offers different ways to live in contact with nature. It is also a country that welcomes different cultures, and just a small part of the population was born in Canada, the others are immigrants. Moreover Canadian economy is getting particularly strong and the society is based on laws that help everyone. There are a lot of great landscapes in this country, for instance in Nunavut, Summit Lake is filled of glacier melted and its water flows toward both north and south, dropping 500 meters before reaching the Pacific Ocean. In addiction, in Alberta, the rocks near Lake Louise give water a striking light blue colour, and transform the atmosphere in something magical. These are just some little examples about what one can discover visiting Canada, there are a lot of other beautiful outlooks to see. According to the 2006 census, only 32% of the entire population is Canadian, most of others Canadian inhabitants are from Europe and someone from Asia. Therefore, in a country with such an extended number of immigrants day life must be rich of influences and tolerance toward different cultures. Furthermore, the policies about medical assistance and education are really well thought. The state grant to everyone a complete medical assistance, it means that the poor and the rich can have the same healthy care. Recently, the government has also decided to grant an university education to Indigenous students, starting a project of national growth and integration among cultures. It is not difficult to understand why a lot of people have chosen it as travel goal. It has a lot of jobs opportunity, it grants freedom of action and thought, and the security of having always medical assistance. Canada is an unforgivable place where everyone should go, differences can really open our eyes and a country with these varieties in can represent the biggest experience of our life What do you know about Canada? Have you ever been there?December 12, 201340
