A Photograph You Like

Hi everyone!

Today, we're going to write about a photograph you like. In your text, you must say:

Who took the picture

What it shows

When it was taken

Why you like it

Anything else you want to say

And upload it

Write at least 150 words

Here is my example:

In this photo, I am standing with my mother in the middle of a desert called Valle del Arcoíris. This place is very near San Pedro de Atacama, and we went there in May 2016. I think a tour guide took this picture and he said that, at that time, it had been recently discovered, so not many people had been there before.

This valley is special because it has colours from the different minerals that have deposited over time. You could find green, red, yellowish and different kinds of orange sands. There were also some rock formations that were very interesting near this place. I love this picture because I love deserts in general, and this one is very unique, but also because it gives me a good memory of my mother. We both enjoy going hiking and exploring new places. She lives in the South of Chile, so I don´t see her very often, and this is why we decided to do this special trip together.

I remember we got up very early to take a bus to go to this desert. We also visited other places and took a map and a bicycle to visit ancient ruins. I remember it was very hot and dry during the day, and at night it was really cold. We were not used to spending so much time in the sun and almost got a sunstroke. But I can remember the feeling of quietness in many places and all the beautiful textures of the sand and rocks.  It was a very magical place. 

Post Nº 4: Free Theme Post

Hi everyone!

Today we are going to write about a topic that we can choose. I can think of three alternatives, for example:

"Your Favourite Film."

"Your Favourite Music Album."

"A Sport or Physical Exercise That You Enjoy."

Choose only ONE of these topics and write the following information about it:

1. What's the name of the film/music album/sport that you like.

2. When did you see the film OR how often do you listen to the music album OR how often do you play that sport.

3. Who did you watch the film with OR who do you listen to the album with OR who do you play that sport with.

4. What is the film about OR describe the lyrics and music style of the album OR describe the sport you play.

5. Give 3 reasons why you love that film OR music album OR sport/physical exercise you do.

Remember: in total you must write a minimum of 140 words (you can write more if you want) and you must write comments on 3 classmates' posts and 1 comment on my post.

This is my sample post:

"Yoga: My Favourite Physical Exercise."

I have done yoga for more than ten years. At the beginning, I started learning with a teacher in a class with other people but after a few years I stopped going to classes and decided to continue practicing by myself at home.

The type of Yoga I practice is called Ashtanga. It is originally from the South of India and it consists of a series of poses, starting with 10 sun salutations, and ending with poses that calm your body. The sequence of poses is always the same, which includes standing poses and sitting poses, and in every movement there is an inhalation and an exhalation. 

The main reason why I like Yoga so much is that it is a silent exercise, similar to a meditation in movement. Yoga has helped me gain flexibility and strength, and it helps me learn how to stay focused and concentrate on what I am doing in the moment. Another reason why I like Yoga is that it energizes me, and it lifts and stabilizes my mood. My favourite yoga pose is called Shirshasana, or Headstand. I love this pose because you stand on your head and your feet raise all the way up and you get to feel the world upside down.

Since I don't have much time during the week, I try to practice 2 times a week. The best time of the day to do Yoga is when you wake up, before breakfast, which means I must get up early. It's the best way to start my day.
