Every gesture tells a story
Cada gesto cuenta una historia
Cuando nosotros pensamos acerca del lenguaje o comunicación, usualmente lo relacionamos con hablar. Pero nuestros gestos y movimientos, en otras palabras nuestro lenguaje corporal nos dice mucho más que nuestras palabras. El lenguaje corporal nos dice qué estamos pensando o sintiendo.
Un psicólogo experto dice que las palabras son sólo el 7% de nuestra comunicación, mientras que el 93% restante lo hacen señales silenciosas. Los niños lo entienden naturalmente, pero a medida que hacemos énfasis en las palabras, vamos perdiendo la habilidad de captar y entender el lenguaje kinésico. Los adultos son muy buenos en decir palabras que no significan lo que ellos quieren expresar. El lenguaje corporal trabajo en conjunto con el lenguaje verbal, pero a veces son contradictorios.
Por ejemplo, una persona puede decir que está de acuerdo contigo, pero al mismo tiempo está corriendo la silla hacia atrás y se aparta de ti. Cuando físicamente se distancian de ti, es porque está expresando un desacuerdo.
Algunas personas son muy buenas mintiendo con su lenguaje corporal, dice el psicólogo. Por ejemplo, los políticos aprender a usar ciertos gestos para tener una mejor impresión acerca de ellos. Pero ellos no son tan exitosos como esperan. Antes de creer en lo que la cara de una persona te dice debes moverte hacia atrás y ver todo su cuerpo, para ver que te dice, entre más te alejes de su cara más veraz será.
Algunos gestos faciales, sin embargo, las hacemos instintivamente. Por ejemplo, las pupilas de tus ojos se dilatan cuando se sienten atraídos por alguien. Una gran parte del lenguaje corporal es inconciente. Si queremos usar y entender gestos exitosamente, nosotros necesitamos ser concientes de sus distintos significados.
Ver el lenguaje corporal en nosotros mismos y en otras personas nos ayuda a comunicarnos mejor. Si tú logras aprender a descifrar y usar el lenguaje corporal bien, va a ser tan fluido como el lenguaje verbal.

Seven, students, apologize, night, slowly, supervisor.
Fireman, false, turn off, ears, hurt, school police, strange.

Well in first place if we were Jennifer, we would be very scared, because the noise would be very loud. We would run very fast, because the fire might reach us and we would be dead. But we think that if any person in the school was inside, we would be brave and would enter and look up everywhere some person who needed our help, because sometimes is important think in other person besides in myself. We called the fireman because we don’t do something with fire, because we don’t have the tools to attack the fire. But we won’t know it until happen.

My favorite songs VII
I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you
I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
Thats why i need you to hear
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is You
and the reason is You [x3]
I'm not a perfect person

My favorite songs VI
Come up to meet you, tell you I’m sorry,
You don’t know how lovely you are.
I had to find you, tell you I need you,
Tell you I set you apart.
Tell me your secrets and ask me your questions,
Oh, lets go back to the start.
Running in circles, coming in tales,
Heads are a science apart.
Nobody said it was easy,
It's such a shame for us to part.
Nobody said it was easy,
No-one ever said it would be this hard,
Oh take me back to the start.
I was just guessing at numbers and figures,
Pulling your puzzles apart.
Questions of science, science and progress,
Do not speak as loud as my heart.
And tell me you love me, come back and haunt me,
Oh and I rush to the start.
Running in circles, chasing tails,
And coming back as we are.
Nobody said it was easy,
oh its such a shame for us to part.
Nobody said it was easy,
No-one ever said it would be so hard.
Im going back to the start.
oh, ooooo,
ah, ooooo,

My favorite songs V
Today is gonna be the day
That they're gonna throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now
Backbeat the word is on the street
That the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody feels
The way I do about you now
And all the roads we have to walk are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would
Like to say to you
But I don't know how
Because maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me ?
And after all
You're my wonderwall
Today was gonna be the day?
But they'll never throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you're not to do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do
About you now
And all the roads that lead you there are winding
And all the lights that light the way are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you
But I don't know how
I said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me ?
And after all
You're my wonderwall
I said maybe (said maybe)
You're gonna be the one that saves me ?
And after all
You're my wonderwall
I said maybe (said maybe)
You're gonna be the one that saves me? (That saves me)
You're gonna be the one that saves me? (That saves me)

Is renewable energy an important topic today? Why?

Hi everyone, well the topic of today is “Is renewable energy an important topic today? Why? “ In first place renewable energy is energy which come from natural resourses such us wind, rain, between others. The important thing is if this renewable energy polluter or not, because what affect us is the pollution, because renewable energy that polluter contributes to the greenhouse effect like other types of energy, but otherwise renewable energy that doesn’t pollute is very important, and I think that is one of the most important topic of today, because our world every day need more energy. I think that people don’t pay attention to what happens in today’s world, because they don’t take the time to read and learn about this important topic that affects everyone. Finally I think that the renewable energy is very important because we need energy, and if the way to get it don’t pollute is better. Bye I love you

My favorite songs IV
I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Well, every moment spent with you
Is a moment I treasure
I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
Lying close to you
Feeling your heart beating
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming
Wondering if it's me you're seeing
Then I kiss your eyes and thank God we're together
And I just wanna stay with you
In this moment forever, forever and ever

My favorite songs II
If I were a boy
Even just for a day
I’d roll outta bed in the morning
And throw on what I wanted and go
Drink beer with the guys
And chase after girls
I’d kick it with who I wanted
And I’d never get confronted for it
'Cause they’d stick up for me
If I were a boy
I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I’d be a better man
I’d listen to her
'Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
'Cause he’s taken you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed
If I were a boy
I would turn off my phone
Tell everyone it’s broken
So they’d think that I was sleepin’ alone
I’d put myself first
And make the rules as I go
'Cause I know that she’d be faithful
Waitin’ for me to come home
To come home
If I were a boy
I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I’d be a better man
I’d listen to her
'Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
'Cause he’s taken you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed
It's a little too late for you to come back
Say it's just a mistake
Think I'd forgive you like that
If you thought I would wait for you
You thought wrong
But you’re just a boy
You don’t understand
Yeah, you don’t understand
How it feels to love a girl, someday
You wish you were a better man
You don’t listen to her
You don’t care how it hurts
Until you lose the one you wanted
'Cause you’ve taken her for granted
And everything you have got destroyed
But you’re just a boy
My favorite songs
Girl please excuse me
If I'm coming too strong
But tonight is the night
We can really let go
My girlfriend is out of town
And I'm all alone
Your boyfriend is on vacation
And he doesn't have to know
No one can do the things
I'm gonna wanna to do to you
Shout it out, scream it loud
Let me hear you go
[Chorus]
Baby I like it
The way you move on the floor
Baby I like it
Come on and give me some more
Oh yes I like it
Screaming like never before
Baby I like it
I, I, I like it.
Party, Karamu, Fiesta, Forever
Girl please excuse me
If I'm misbehaving, oh
I'm trying keep my hands off
But you're begging me for more
Round round round
Give a low low low
Let the time time pass
'Cause we're never getting old
No one can do it better
Turn around I'll give you more
Shout it out, scream it loud
Let me hear you go
[Chorus]
Baby I like it
The way you move on the floor
Baby I like it
Come on and give me some more
Oh yes I like it
Screaming like never before
Baby I like it
I, I, I like it.
Don't stop baby, don't stop baby
Just keep on shaking along
I won't stop baby, won't stop baby
Until you get enough
Party, Karamu, Fiesta, Forever

Why is Alberto Hurtado so important in Chile?
The topic of today is “Why is Alberto Hurtado so important in Chile?” Well…in first place Alberto Hurtado popularly known as Padre Hurtado was a jesuit priest, lawyer and was the founder of the “Hogar de Cristo” foundation. Also he was canonized in October twenty three, of two thousand five by Pope Benedict XVI. I think that Saint Alberto Hurtado is so important in Chile because he was a man that dedicated all his life for the social actions, and help people, also he found one of the most important foundation in Chile, “Hogar de Cristo” that try to help old people and in general people that needs help. San Alberto Hurtado is the man that changed the vision of Chile, because he started a mission that continues today. I think that and I admire all things that he did.

Do you like piercings? Why?
Hi everyone...the topic of today is "Do you like piercings? and Why? Well, personally I love people who have piercings in ears,nose, tongues or eyebrows, but I think that is disgusting people that full their bodies of piercings. I wouldn’t use piercings because I hate and I am scared whenever I see needles. In my opinion the piercings look better in boys than girls because in girls, the piercings doing that girls look like boys. But if a girl use a piercing, I think that should be in tongue, or nose. And if a boy use a piercing, I think that should be in tongue, eyebrow or ears. But in general I like piercings. But is very important know how use piercings, because they can bring infections.
Bye, I love you!
