Good afternoon dear classmates and teacher. Hoping that you are well, today I would like to make some recommendations, but not books, since in general, the texts that I usually read are sociology articles. This time I want to recommend some movies that I have seen throughout my life and that have fascinated me.

The first movie I want to recommend to you is "Billy Elliot". This tells the story of a boy who wanted to be a dancer, but his environment did not support him. It is a very emotional story and a bit dramatic, but very beautiful.

Secondly, I recommend you watch a movie called "Twelve Angry Men". This is a film about the judgement of a man sentenced to death. It deals with issues of morality, ethics and justice. This is a thought-provoking film about how people project our own worlds by judging others.

Another movie that I find interesting, but a bit controversial, is Gaspar Noé's film called "Climax". In my opinion it is not a film suitable for sensitive people. I would define it as a kind of psychological thriller. within the same genre, there is a movie that I also think is great, this is "Shutter Island", I highly recommend it.

One of the most dramatic and touching movies I have ever seen is "Sueño de Fuga". It tells the story of an innocent man who was imprisoned by mistake and spends a large part of his life suffering horrible experiences inside the prison.

Fifthly, I invite you to watch a Tarkovsky feature film called "Stalker". The surrealistics films of this director are considered as "cinema art hous", and they really are a unique cinematographic experience. The long and slow scenes, along with the landscapes and characters, invite contemplation and calm, unlike Hollywood cinema

the last film in this list is "The NeverEnding Story".This is a movie that I met by listening to an interview with the musician Charly García on YouTube. He mentioned it in one of his answers and his description of the movie caught my attention. To my surprise, the film tells the story of a boy named Bastian who was faced with an existential dilemma. I felt very identified and despite being a somewhat strange, old-fashioned and childish film, it became one of my favorite films

Finally, I recommend watching some movie classics, like "The Goodfather", "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", "Taxi Driver" and why not, "Sherk". I hope you watch these movies and enjoy!. Bye.

If I could travel back in time, I would like to go back to the modern age. This is a historical period between the fifteenth and eighteenth centuries.

This was a very exciting time in many ways. The changes generated by the scientific revolution and its inventions, the faith in science and its advances, and the expectation of finding the truth, made the world something truly exciting. In addition, although technology existed, the dependence on it was not so great. However, the process that marked the beginning of this period, known as the discovery of America, was a very violent process that was justified by science and religion.

On the other hand, in the field of the arts the modern age contains the period of the renaissance, in which many incredible artistic currents arose. An this time, artist such as Leonardo Da Vinci, Migel Ángel and Joan Sebastian Bach were born. From my perspective, Occident culture reached its highest point during this time, especially in the realm of the visual arts. 

Now, I must confess that there are some things from this time that scare me. One of them is the field of health. The diseases of the time and the high mortality, together with a lower life expectancy are things that I would not want to experience.

Finally, I think that the fact that historians have defined the end of this period with the historical landmark of the French Revolution is very significant and symbolic.For me, it expresses that the consequence of the evolution of societies over many years is a great change. The effects of that great change can still be seen today.

Hi teacher and classmates, hoping you are very well, today i would like to talk to you about the job of my dreams.

Considering I hate routine and don't like the idea of being an employee, my ideal job would be as a freelance compositer. I also don't like the idea of working, so if I had to choose a job, I would choose a job where I can do something that I enjoy. 

Composing is a complex activity that requires a lot of dedication and work. After a long time and with a lot of practice this may become easier. However, since I love music, composing for me is like a game, which is difficult but very fun. this is a one activities that I can do for a long time. I have a great vocation for this. In my free time I practice the art of the composition. I mainly compose using the guitar since it is the instrument that a play best. I have also tried to compose through the piano and i have obtained good results. Someday i would like have te ability to compose with the violin. One of my great inspirations for this, are the twenty-four caprices of the compositer Niccolo Pagannini. 

Perhaps one of the negative aspects of this job is the low and unestable salary. And all we know that you cannot live by vocation. Anyway, I think it's worth taking the risk to dedicate ourselves to things that we can feel alive with.
