Hello classmates!!!

How are you? I hope all right.

Today I would speak about Youtube. I visit often this page. I have a lot of friends who share weblinks of Youtube in a very good page of Facebook  called Operoteca. Thanks to Operoteca I have learned a lot of opera. Its administrator is a Costa Rican/Croatian very cultivate. He calls Dino. He is a good friend who knows a lot of art in general! And he share videos about the last performances and the best singers of our times. I know in this page a lot of my favorite singers. And me and my friends post our most beloved Youtube videos in Operoteca. I meet one of my favorite baritones, Simon Keenlyside, for example. Dino presents me a very good video of Simon Keenlyside on his performance in the opera Hamlet by Ambroise Thomas. Keenlyside sings as Hamlet, he make really a performance of body art! In this version of Hamlet, the great  French soprano Natalie Dessay sings as Ofelia but… Ofelia don’t  drown in this case, she slit one’s writs while she sings her famous aria!  I remember that it was a very moving scene!! I discovered this opera thanks to Youtube. In another occasion, my friend Dino speak about a great Russian soprano called Maria Guleghina. She is a great singer!! When  I listened to her I knew that she will became one of my favorite sopranos. She has a dramatic strength very very moving!! Dino presents me my favorite version of Macbeth by Verdi with Guleghina and Lucic too. So… I think that Youtube is a very good tool to learn about a lot of differents topics and that is not only a link for watch humorous situations.

Greetings, Karina.

Hello guys!

How are you?! I hope all right!

Today I would write about the food… I don’t know really which is my favourite food.  I am not vegetarian but I don’t like so much eat meat. I am a little fed up with the meat and I don’t eat pork. I like some kind of fish… I love some salads, some soups and the salmon and the albacore. I like the Italian food, specially the lasagne, the ravioli, the gnocchi and the fettuccini and some plates of the Spanish cuisine as the paella and some speciality of French cuisine too. I never eat fast food! I hate it because that is very dangerous and I don’t like it fat-flavoured!!! I think that is disgusting! The meat with McDonald’s produce its hamburgers, for example, is a true poison for our health!  I think that I am very tired from the unhealthy food… I don’t like eat potato chips any more in my life! I discovered that I don’t like the fried food because I think that we live in a world so pollutioned that we mustn’t contaminate more our organism. But, I must recognize that I love the Coca-Cola! It’s absolutely wonderful! I like drink dark bear and I love the wine too! Specially, the rosé wine and the red wine… In occasions, when the weather is warm, I like to make fruit juice and by the nights, just before sleep, I love drink water.

Well, my friends…  see you soon!

I send you a great hug!!

Greetings, Karina!

Hello classmates!

How are you?!

I hope all right! Today I would like speak about ecology. I think that is a subject very important today because we live in a very pollutioned world! I afraid that all the things that we eat are a little dangerous!! The air that we respire is very contaminated! The Mobil telephone and some elements created by the new technologies emitted unhealthy radiations!   The plastic and a lot of materials are very toxic!  So… I think that the ecology is a problem more important that we suppose. I consider that we have a great responsibility in our hands. We must worry for the future of the trash, for example. We must divide the garbage for its recycling. I don’t understand the people that use the car to travel just a few distance! I think that we must walk or use the bike for traveling!  The chemical products are very prejudicial for our health so, I considered that we must prefer buy unpacked and natural foodstuffs.  I think that this ideas help to reduce our carbon footprint. I must say that I am very concerned about ecology, because I think that the world is agonizing and I see that any authority is really worried about this great problem of the humanity!

So… dear guys! We must concerned about our behaviors because the future depends a little of us!

I send you a great hug!

See you soon!

Hello guys!!! How are you?!! I hope all right! Today I will speak about a pet that my family have when I was child. Our dog was called Orson. Its name was the same of a pig of the Cartoons Garfield. I didn’t love so much this dog, because it was the dog of my parents and, generally, I don’t like so much the animals. Our dog was a boxer, this dog race it’s very special and the people prefer the boxer dogs because they are very care with the children. They are not very aggressive and they love plays. Our dog loved play! Orson loved jumping and running. He never was tired!... My brother played with him and my father gave him to walk around a park that was place near to our house. My mother loves him but she didn’t play with him…. But the story of my dog it a little sad, because… one day, Orson woke very sick. He vomited a lot and foamed a very strange with liquid. I remember that this day was very unhappy because we saw our dog agonizing. We took him to the vet and we waited a long time. The vet said that our dog had been poisoned with strychnine, a poison very strong and lethal. His death was really a mistery for us… But we think that our neighbors empoisoned Orson because they constantly complained about his barking… So… this is the sad story of our pet… I send you a hug! And see you soon! Greetings, Karina

Hello guys!!

How are you?!

I hope all right!

Today I will speak about an exhibition that I would like visit. I didn’t know this artist... I knew him thanks a friend who works in a museum. The artist name is Georges Rousse and he is french. I’m very interested on his work because he created a new dimension on the reality. Usually, he plays with the perspective of the architecture. In french this technic is called trompe l’oeil because the spectator eyes see a false reality. Georges Rousse has knowledges about Medicine, Mathematics, Architecture and Photography so I think that this mix of different disciplines contribute to create a very particular vision of the art.  His work plays with the capacities of the human eye. I think that Geourges Rousse destroits the sentence see to believe, because we can’t see the reality behind the fiction. This is a triomph of the imagination and the illusion!

I think that is very interesting his artistic proposal. Georges Rousse creates amazing effects with light, fire, binding materials, organic elements and others. He has worked in a lot of different countries and this year he has work in Santiago of Chile. In the MAC of Parque Forestal museum, we can see the exhibition of Georges Rousse and I would like to visit it!

Greetings!!!

Today our teacher would that we speak about the animé.

Really, I don’t like so much the anime, so I don’t know a lot about this subject... but I remember that when I was child, I like a lot a cartoon called Candy... I was very very young and I can’t remember very well its story but I can remember a blond teenager that traveled whit a little dog around the world. This maiden has not father but she was always happy... I remember that she has a rich friend, another blond maiden who has suffered an accident. Candy singed a song that all my classemates singed too! I can remember another cartoon but I can’t remember its name... This cartoon was starring by a little maiden who searched a flower of seven colors... she has a dog too... I don’t know... This cartoon were very old now and I was very little. Today, they are a lot of cartoons that I don’t know... My brother loves Dragon Ball Z but I don’t like it!

I hope you can’t help me with the name of the cartoon of the maiden who search the flower! Haha!!

A hug!!!

Today I will speak about a country I would like visit. 

I would like travel to Austria. I love the Austrian culture!! My favorite writers are Austrian like Thomas Bernhard, Karl Krauss, Hugo von Hoffmannsthal,  the great Stefan Zweig and my most prefered ‘Schrifftstellerin’ Elfriede Jelinek! I would like to meet her one day, because she’s musician too, I love her books and i would like to know the places in which characters live, like the Hotel Sacher Café, the Wienerwald, the forest of Vienna!! I love the hight culture of this country and all its past. In this country was born Mozart and my beloved Franz Schubert too! There are in Vienna a lot of beautiful parks (like the famous Prater) and great monuments. Its a dream for mee to know one day the Burgtheater and the Opera of Vienna, the Staatsoper. In Vienna was born a lot of the most important painters of the last century like Gustav Klimt, Oskar Kokoschka, Richard Gerstl and one of my favorite painters, Egon Schiele!... I imagine that Vienna is a good place to live in because is a very beautiful country and I like its language too, because I love the German!

Well, I think that today I have speak about a dream. I hope one day to travel to Austria!

A hug and good wishes, Karina! ;)
