"Jesus Boy"
Hello Stephen:
Firstly I am grateful with you because your help is helping me to improve my english. Well , I was attending a weekly evening class but now it is impossible for me because I always have to travel, so I am studiying by myself.
EILTS is a visa requirement for Australia and I have to have 6 qualification to be able to get my visa. I have made sham tests and I an average of 5.5 so I need a little punch to get my goal: 6.
Well, at the beginning I had troubles with my girlfriend, because I had travelled a lot, but we talked the matter over with her and now she is trying to accostume with.
Stephen, you are no ignorant, and I am very surprisied like you, because there are a lot of costums here in Peru which are not knowing by Peruvians theirselfs. I think it is Globalization and I am against it because many people forget his own culture, his ancient traditions and they trying to copy " The Global Culture". I sometimes think I am very pessimist but if we continue with this We will soon be a monotonous world. Most of people in Peru look outside, I mean look known foreing traditions without known well their own culture, and it is for it which dances, like Scissor Dancers, are not well known even in Peru.
Respect " Jesus boy" I did not find english worf to call to God´s son when he was a boy, here in Peru we call him " Jesus boy" and he is very venerate for the people, specially people who live in the mountains.
I really love reading books, and of course I have read books by Shakespeare like Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth and I saw Macbeth in the teathre too but I think which read Shakespeare in his native language would be more interesting. It occur with " Don Quijote de la Mancha", there are many words and senteces which have not got translation and the spirit of the book change when you translate it.
Now I eat in, I prepared burguers, rice and vegetables because my sister arrived from Colombian, she studied there, she will be a attorney. She brouught me a delicious Colombian Coffee, do you hear of it? . I looled forwar her, I missed her a lot, in fact she is my best friend. She came very thin, she says that she ate a lot but she never gain weight. Poor my little sister.
My day was cut and dried, I work a lot and now I am very exhausted, December is the bussiest month of the year, I have to review a lot fo documents because the Ney Year is comming fastly. But now, before sleep I going to ride my cycle.
Well I will try to do not work hard, but I think it would be impossible, but write this blog relax me a lot.
Stephen, Have a nice day, and thanks again for your valuable help.
Best wishes.
Federico.

Hello Federico! I appreciate your perseverance in improving your language skills. You are very ambition person, but it's ok. In my opinion, we have to work hard to develope our abilities, for the whole of live. I sqeeze my thumbs (if you know what I mean) for a good results of your EILTS exam. I am agree with you in carring of the national culutre too. It's very important becouse it makes every country different. Thanks to it we have many pleasures of visiting foreign places, eating different kinds of food, and admiring other styles of architecture. I can't stand to hear from you some new informations. Have a nice day !!!
Fredrico, I think your English has really improved since the first time you wrote your blog. Well done and good luck for your goal. As for the people alienating from their own culture, its very true that its no use knowing other cultures, if you don't know about your homeland to begin with. Such people grow without a sense of belonging, and forever have this 'alien instinct' to them wherever they go. Its lucky we still have people like you, who are so rooted.
Thanks for all your contributions. This blog has now closed and can no longer accept new comments.
