The Christmas tree is typical that gets at Christmas to decórate, almost always makes a family, the tree is a pine and can be either real or artificial tree can be green or even white, and decorates with web lights, bulbs, ornaments, garlands, the Christmas star and other things. Now the gifts under the tree to tell children that Santa Claus brought placed. The Christmas tree is not only the Catholic religion, it is done in many religions and signifies family unity, cooperation and teamwork. It is said that the first tree that decorum was in Germany in 1605, then went all over Europe and now is something that is done in all parts of the world.

Teamwork for Christmas

Diego brought the Christmas tree, Juan the star, Paul and Emilio the wreaths, Steven the moss, Eduardo and I the lights, Esteban tape and other firends led bulbs and ornaments to decorate, besides bringing that each brought gifts to decorate the tree.
All we split the job while some lights untangled, others decorated the wall behind the tree, others wrapped gift boxes with paper, others prepared the tree. Everyone was very excited while decorating the tree and it was fun to work together to make that everyone was happy. All collaborating with some different things were more difficult than others but all the same activities we helped was amazing how everyone cooperated and was a fun and interesting on.

Quito`s Festivities

Comment

Today's class seemed very entertaining and that I really like Quito`s Festivities and even more about it and remember the customs of our city. Plus I like the activity of making brainstorm on activities carried out at parties, then choose three of them and describe them and then present them in class.
For me it was fun, although it was difficult to translate some words or phrases to the city to English.
I liked the activity a lot and I wish there are more activities like this in the election year.

OBJECTIVE: Ecuador national football team

It is a team that represents the country Ecuador and is made up of players of Ecuadorian nationality. On August 8, 1938 they played their first match versus Bolivia, the game ended in a draw. Ecuador has participated in three FIFA World Cups Korea/Japan 2002, Germany 2006 and Brazil 2014, for me the best team in Ecuador was the one who participated in Fifa World Cup Germany 2006 where he spent the group stage but lost by a goal  from David Beckham, the team of Ecuador had very good players: Ivan Hurtado, Ivan Kaviedes, Christian Mora, Carlos Tenorio, Antonio Valencia and others. That for me was the best team in Ecuador but now the team is playing was very well ery well and is first in the standings, beaten good teams like Uruguay and Argentina.

I chose this topic because I like football and also I like see Ecuador play and i hope to they go with FIFA World Cup Russia 2018.

According to this article On Sunday November 1, 2015 was held the Mexico Grand Prix of Formula 1, the race consisted of 71 laps, where the Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg came in first, it was his fourth victory in the season, second place came his teammate Lewis Hamilton the current world Champion, and third place the driver of Williams Valtteri Bottas. Also on lap 51 the three-time world champion Sebastian Vettel had a serious accident that he came to finish the race. Another thing  the people support to the only Mexican driver Sergio Perez was amazing.

In my opinion: It was a very interesting and exciting race, but I would like to see the Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel to win this grand prix because for me he is the best driver in the world, but he suffered the accident and could not finish the race. I like very much to see the races but the season is almost over, and only two races left, Brazil and Abu Dhabi.

According to this article,. Deadpool is a Marvel superhero who is a parody of the DC Comics villain called Deathstroke, Deathstroke name is Slade Wilson and Deadpool name is Wade Wilson, the difference in the two is that Deathstroke is a quiet person and Deadpool he talks a lot, besides being rude and funny are things that characterize this superhero. His power is when regeneration is damaged, and is fast. Deadpool wears a red suit with black, he has two guns and two swords. Deadpool began as a villain in Marvel but as people liked his character made him a hero. Deadpool was had his first film appearance in the 2003 film X-Men Origins: Wolverine where his character was changed and he was a mutant. In 2016 he will have a new movie.

In my opinion: Deadpool is very different from other superhero, not the typical good man who helps others, he thinks it's all a joke and how they act is very funny, he could fight 10 villains and jokes in the fight.I find it very interesting and funny this superhero
