This is my sample post: Valle de Elqui I have been to Valle de Elqui two times in my life, and the last time I went there I was with my mother. This place is very special for me because I think it has a very special energy where you can do meditation and watch the stars at night.

A Photograph You Like

Image
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 me...

What life would be like without it. - 140 words minimum. - Include a picture.  - Comment on your teacher's post and 3 of your classmates’ blogs. ______________________________________________________________________________ Here is my post: I'm not a big fan of technology, but of course I can't live without it.  I am very dependant on the microwave, I spend most of my time working on my computer, and I can’t live without my cell phone. But when I really think about it, my favourite piece of technology is the Kobo e-reader. Kobo is a brand of an electronic book reader, just like Kindle, and I got it as a birthday gift about 6 years ago from my sister. You can download e-books from the internet, either on EPUB or PDF formats at a much...

As an example, you can read my post here: Since I was a child, I always wanted to be an artist. I dreamed of being an ice skater and going to the Olympics. I also thought of becoming a film director, but I thought that to produce a film you need too many resources. For some time, I considered becoming a ballet dancer, but I thought I would never want to be on a diet. In the end, I decided to...
