El Cuarto de Julio [The Fourth of July]

"La Tierra de la Libertad"



Todos los paises del mundo presentan una imagen más o menos tópica o más o menos real. Estados Unidos presenta una imagen de tópica y realidad. Se dice que los estadounideses son, obesos, perezosos y amistosos. Se dice también que son modernos y el alma de la fiesta. La verdad es que los estadounideses son todas estas opiniones porque los Estados Unidos tienén gente de todos los países. En Estados Unidos representamos "una tierra de la libertad". Esto significa que los estadosunideses son todas diferentes y en Estados Unidos eres libre para expresas uno mismo de cualquier manera. En conclusión, Estados Unidos es "la tierra de la libertad".

English Translation: "The Land of the Free"

All the countries in the world present, more or less, an cliche/stereotypical image or a real image. The United States presents a real and stereotypical image. People say that Americans are obese, lazy, and friendly. They also say that they are modern and the life of the party. The truth is that Americans are every opinion, because, in The United States, they have people of all countries. In America, we represent "a land of the free". The significance of The United States is that we are all different, and in The United States, people are free to express themselves in anyway. In conclusion, America is "the land of the free".

*This was an assignment that we had two weeks to write the first week of class. However, I found it appropriate to post it with the fourth of July.

Festival de Tapas

Marta, los estudiantes otros, y yo fuimos al festival de tapas anoche. El festival de tapas estaba ubicar en el centro de la ciudad cerca de la Plaza de España. Estaba una manzana de la Plaza de España. La Plaza de España era antiguo y tenía un fuente de agua en el medio de la plaza. Más adolescentes salían a la Plaza de España hablar con sus amigos en la noche. La plaza de el festival de tapas era muy bello con música y más comida deliciosa.

Tapas eran un aperitivo popular que gente recibió cuando ellos ordenaron una bebida. La comida era como "comer con los dedos". Estuve muy feliz que la festival occurió porque no estuve con mi familia para el cuatro de julio. La tapa que elegí, tuvo carne, pan frita, una salsa especialidad y un pimiento verde.

English Translation: The Tapa Festival

Marta, the other students, and I went to the Tapas Festival last night. The Tapas festival is located downtown near the Plaza of Spain. It was one block away from the Plaza of Spain. The Plaza of Spain is old and has a water fountain in the middle of the plaza. A lot of teenagers go to the Plaza de Spain to talk with their friends at night. The plaza of the Tapas Festival was very beautiful with music and delicious food.

Tapas are a popular appetizer that people recieve when they order a beverage. The food is like "finger foods". I was very happy that the festival occurred because I was not with my family for the fourth of July. The tapa that I ordered had meat, fried bread, a special sauce, and a green pepper.
