My Favorite Cartoon

 There is nothing more attractive for a kid than going on a search for a treasure or discovering the truth behind a mystery. That idea we all had, a mixture between detective and scientist. Who didn’t like that during their childhood? As for me, it’s not different, and maybe that is why I chose Scooby-Doo as my favorite cartoon when I was a child.

I loved watching this cartoon when I was a child. It was on TV every Saturday and I remember I used to look forward to watching it. “Scooby-Doo, where are you” was released in 1969, but I could only watch it in the mid 70’s. This cartoon was about four teenagers and their dog, who drove their van across the United States, solving mysteries which involved supernatural creatures such as ghosts or monsters. These mysteries were usually solved thanks to the unintentional help of Scooby-Doo. This dog was the most important character of this cartoon which was funny because he was a real coward.

Another of his characteristics was that he loved eating cookies, so every time he had to do something dangerous or scary, he was only willing to do it after receiving cookies as a bribe. Apart from having very good stories in every episode, the characteristic song of this cartoon was really catchy.

Now, you write about....

A band/ singer I like

 

I don't really have only one favorite singer or band, but if I had to talk about one, I think, I'd choose U2, basically because they have remained popular through the years, being faithful to their own personal style. Well, since it is not my one and only favorite band, I've got no recollection of particular information about them. I know that they are Irish and that they started their musical career during the 80's. I do remember the first U2 song I heard, it was 'In the name of love' which is a pretty good song, just like many of their songs. The only U2 album I didn't like was 'Zooropa', the ones I liked the most were 'Achtung Baby' and 'Rattle and Hum'. I also like their humanitarian work and that they got involved into the political world. They have a voice in this society, and they use it on behalf of those who are never heard. I think that being good in what you do in life is not enough – that's like an expensive book nobody wants to read – but being a good person is more important. That's why I like U2.

 Now, what about you? Say.........

- Who your favorite singer or band is

- What type of music they play

Time travel to the Future

 

Time travel to the future…..….this is certainly an interesting topic to talk about, even though I prefer to live the present fully, there is always time to dream about a distant future. I personally think that having your mind in what is to come, is not the best way to spend your time. But don’t get me wrong, I do make plans and have ideas for my, not-so-far, future days, but I don’t let those thoughts or ideas make me live on the clouds. Probably, I am a kind of pragmatic person who prefers working today to have what I want for my future. Not dreaming, but since today’s topic is about an imaginary trip to a possible future……then there are some things I would like to say.

First of all, I would like to land in a time where everything runs on ecological fuel (or whatever that can be), on a place where the environment is not destroyed, where animal lives are respected as much as other people’s lives, a place where the air, soil, and water are clean and available to any living being (including trees and plants).

I would like to get to a future where people are content, a world where people have stopped their self-destruction by being addicted to drugs, alcohol or any other addiction that destroys their bodies and souls. I would like to get to a future where people are collaborative to one another and do something positive in their lives and for the rest – that includes humanity, wildlife and environment.

I don’t care much about technology as long as that technology helps every living being on this planet.

Would I like to stay there????? Well, I think I prefer to come back and work hard in order to make that future become the present as soon as possible so that new generations can have a wonderful life, free from war, hunger, violence, discrimination. greed, injustice and all the evil existing nowadays.

There are plenty of other things I could say but I don’t want to bore you with my litany hahaha

Now, where would your trip to the future take you?

Say

- Where would you like to go? Why?

- What time in the future?

- Would you like to stay there? Why/Why not?

- Upload pictures

A Country I would like to visit

 

Oooh, l'amour.......Well, love is not what makes me want to go to France, but the feeling I lived there before, probably in a previous life (hahaha). The thing is that I have always had the desire to visit this country. I like the language (oui, oui), the literature, the architecture, the countryside. In other words I like everything about France and that's probably for no particular reason. It's just a hunch, something tells me that that's a place I should visit. Besides, these reasons I think that going to France is more than visiting a country in Europe, I mean, this country is where democracy began with its historical revolution which is worldwide known. I think I would like to spend some time there, not for good, but enough time to practice my French and end up speaking it fluently.

Now, write your own ideas, keeping in mind the following points.

- Which country would you like to go to? Why?

- What do you know about it?

- What would you like to do there?

- Would you like to study/work/live there? Explain.
