My best friend

Hi classmates! Today I will tell you about my best friend. Firstly, I want to explain you that I think a good friend should have the next qualities: This person should be reliable, should have empathy, and should be concerned for the friendship. Also, a good friend should be an unconditional partner, because this person should be in good times and bad times.

I consider myself a friendly person, because I always try to cultivate my friendships; for example I always call to my friends and ask about their life, their problems, etc. Also, I frequently listen to my friends with empathy and patience, and I try to give a good advice to their too. But, I consider that I don’t make friends easily, because I think that a person can have many acquaintances, but few real friends, and for this reason I try to choose my friends carefully.

In any case, I have a good relationship with people in general, but especially I have a very good friendship with Pamela, my best friend. I met her at high school, and we’ve had a good friendship from that moment on. I value that she is very funny and friendly, and we have a great mutual understanding.

I remember that I had a big family problem the last year, and Pamela offered her help to me, and she was a good company. Also I remember an anecdote too… I don’t wanted to celebrate my last birthday, but she made me a surprise party! And I was very happy, but also their surprise scared me, because my friends turned off all the lights and my house was plunged into total darkness, and then they shouted me “happy birthday”, when I came in my house… and I shouted too, but for the astonishment. 

Environment

Hi classmates! This week I will tell you about looking after the environment and about what shade of green I’m. Firstly, I think this is a recurrent theme at present, and people must learn environmentally friendly practices, include me. I think some people learn about it from their families like a life lesson, other people learn it in their schools and other people learn about it from the media.

Personally, I don’t have incorporated recycling into my habits, and I don’t use a bike or my legs instead of a car, because I am not a green person; well, I think we must become aware of looking after the environment, and I try to not pollute the environment every day, but I must admit that I don’t have incorporated many green practices in my life, for example, I always use the public transportation, probably because my family don’t taught me about green practices in my childhood, nor my teachers in the school.

I don’t have joined or supported any eco-organization, because the same reason, I don’t have become aware about this theme. But I would like to do it, for learn about environment and for amend with the nature. Besides, I would like to learn to reduce my carbon footprint, because I don’t know how it is.

Maybe, my own behavior is a reflection of my own society, specifically of Santiago, where the pollution is a quotidian problem, for the excessive traffic, the public transport, the factories, and the itself culture, because the awareness is missing in this city.
