Post 2: The best Concert

Hi!

Truly I have not attended many concerts or exhibitions. I remember once I went to Melendi concert. Melendi is a Spanish singer who is currently dedicated to romantic music but previously more dedicated to the rumba. He also writes his songs.

In 2014 I went with my boyfriend at the Caupolican Theater in Santiago, we both like Melendi and as we were celebrating our anniversary my boyfriend gave me tickets.

We think that many people would not go because he was recently playing on the radio with one or two songs but it was enough people who knew him with his previous albums.

The concert was arround two hours and singing all songs I liked. Also He sang very old songs from his first album.

I like his songs, his lyrics, his interpretation, etc. His lyrics are about their experiences but I prefer the songs of the oldest records.

I'm not go so much to concerts because I prefer spend my money en other kind of things, I prefer listening music from my favorites singers at home with my friends.

Regards!

Greece

Hi!

I would visit Greece because it has history of the philosopher  and besides it is very nice but I only know it by photos.

All the cities, for example, Athens, Delphi, Sparta, Olympia, etc. with a lot of history, it is very important to know and see where  the history happened, specially in subject of philosophy.  I like to know another culture.

First, I would like to visit to Santorini because this is a beautiful place. Then, visit to Acropolis of Athens, Museums, Parthenon, Colossus of Rhodes, appreciate landscape, and study to mythology. But, the most important thing is to know the place where important philosophers created their texts or ideas.  

But, I would like only to visit on vacation because I love to live in my country,  besides I dont understand their language and I am afraid to be in another place for long time specially if I go alone. I would visit with my best friend or my boyfriend, someone important for me because Greece is a special and magic place.

Regards!

BBC Learning and a great story

BBC Learning English is a great tool for learn, it´s so easy to use there you can choose the dificult that you need, and the activities are very funny. The last activity about 6 minutes vocabulary is great because one of the most difficult part for learn a lenguage is understand the listening audios. I found just one thing that i didn´t like from the first activity that i found it was so specific, because we had to remember who said something like a "memorize". The website that i know for learn English is Duolingo that have a different way for learn like short asking and answer.

The article from Theguardian.com that I liked was about an Italian mother who comeback to reunited with her daughter named Margot Bachmann who was taken from her by her husband family in the second world war. Margot grew up in Germany and when his father died the last year, she began to looking for her mother through the International Tracing Service, a German center for world war two documentation. I choosed this article because is a story that thrill me, i never hear something like that, a mother reunited with her daughter after 71 years surprised me. I think the institutions like the "International Tracing Service" from Germany are great because have many information about a lot of people who lost them family, and make possible this incredible things.

London

The activity is very interesting because to permit to travel for London. I can know place that hope visit some day. My dream is travel for Europe but is very expensive for me. I want save much money in little time because hope travel young before to have the children.

London is very nice but only know by photos, really is not same, I want see for my eyes admire the landscape, museum, bridge, castle, tower.

London is the city whit many history, is very important know and see where happened the history.

I hope that if you know London, please tell me your experience.

Maroon 5

Hi guys

My favourite band is Maroon 5, an American pop rock band. Originally formed in 1994 in Los Angeles, California as Kara's Flowers.  Its vocalist and guitarist is Adam Levine,  Jesse Carmichael plays the guitar and backing vocals,  Mickey Madden plays the bass guitar and Matt Flynn plays the drums. The band has cited Michael Jackson, the Police, the Bee Gees, between others as influence but the band's style changes from album to album. The theme in most of their songs is love, frequently lost love

Is my favourite band because  I like Adam sings and all in general,  I don`t  expert in musical. My song favourite is Animals and Payphone for nothing in special, I like its melody.  “Overexposed” is the fourth studio album in my opinion is the best together  whit ther fifth album named “V” its best  songs.  Its vocalist participate in The Voice USA as a jury.

I don`t go to the concert when Maroon 5 arrived  to Chile, I hope go to next concert in Chile.
