Hw 5. Coffee Vs Tea

In Venezuela coffee is very popular at the morning or after every food time. Tea is very popular when people is sick or for old people. In fact Venezuela produce a very good coffee called “Fama de America”. In my country we don’t have stores like Starbucks but we have in almost everywhere coffee machines from Nescafe.

In my particular case I really love the coffee but when is like latte vanilla, because I love a very sparkling coffee with a lot of milk and sugar! In the United States is something like White Chocolate Mocca from Starbucks. This coffee makes me feel peaceful, calm, and warm if I’m cold. I don’t like the strong coffee I prefer sweet tastes. Actually I don’t feel the energy from the caffeine of the coffee maybe is because I don’t drink just coffee or expresso coffee.

HW. 4 Movie industry

Venezuela is striving to created a movie industry. Actually we have a lot of support to promote the movie industry, like movies festivals. The problem is the way that everybody think because they always use the same subjects and stories so the people obviously is bored about that. This is the reason why the people prefer international films, most of them from The United States; of course Hollywood is the biggest movie industry in America. However Venezuela is a really movie fan all the theaters are full at all time.

In my opinion I really want to support the national films, because I studied that career, my specialization is moviemaker, but the true is that Venezuela is not prepared yet to understand the things that public likes to see. In the other hand, I really like the Hollywood’s movies and some time the Europeans. My favorite movies from the U.S are the love stories like “The Notebook” because the story really hooks me, and make me feel different. From Europe, I really enjoy Amelie because the colors and the photography of the movie is just amazing, and of course the way that she really appreciated the simply thing of the life. For example introduce the hand in a boll of beans.

Hw 3. My Favorite Music

I like almost all kinds of music as long as the song express something, and of course the tempo it’s very important. The tempo must hook me and make feel the music inside, and all my stress or fears should go away. Even if I can listen all music styles I have my preferences, which are balada-pop (slow and romantic pop), and dancing music like salsa, merengue bachata, etc. I hear these styles when I am really angry or sad, and I need think about the problem that I have.

My favorite balada-pop artist is a group from Venezuela called A.5. I had the opportunity to meet them, and we build a good friendship so that I like all their song. But I love one entitle “Supervisor de tus sueños” because it remained me a very special night. On the other hand my favorite dancing artist is Marc Anthony. I really love a song called “Aguanile” because I can feel the energy in the music of this song.

I still remember the first time a listen A.5 when my mom show me their first song eigth years ago and since then I like the group. Marc Anthony was a little different I hear the song in my salsa casino class and it was like a click immediately I love it.


P.D: I could not upload the songs! I do not why. sorry... if you want listen it I can show you I have the two song in my Ipod.

HW 2. My favorite food

My favorite food is Empanadas, is a traditional food of Venezuela and is in everywhere in my country. Is very easy to made but is necessary use Harina Pan, is a corn flour from Venezuela. In the United States it is possible find this ingredient maybe at the internationals stores. With the Harina pan and water make a mass, then the chef have to do a little ball. After that is indispensable push the ball until be like a Mexican tortilla. When the tortilla is ready must be filled with whatever you like. For an example it can be cheese, chicken or beef. The empada have to be fried and finally you can eat it. In Venezuela is tradition eating empanadas on the beach so that some ladies have their small sales. Also in the port is mini mall with a lot of selling empanadas. I love empanadas because it remind me my childhood and of course days at the beach.

Hw 1. My first visit to United States

The first time I came to United States I was very young maybe three years old so I cannot remember much, and after that I came to this country once a year. However I have good memories about my visits. First when I was a littler child I came with my parent and they were so happy and friendly. I always went to Orlando, Florida so we went to Disney so many times. It was just the three of us nobody else to disturbed. Second when I was ten years old my parents bought our first house in Orlando, It was so beautiful and the house was so big, for me that was a mansion. Third I remember my last Santa Claus’s present it was a Discman player, one Christmas t-shirt, and many compact disks. I also remember all the details of our last trip together I was eleven years old. In conclusion United States for me is a happy place. I really want not live here because it is not my country but I always enjoy mi visits and my vacations.
