 * Ghost story**

I was never passed an extraordinary story or rare story, perhaps because I find more reasonable explanations for what I don't understand, but when I was younger it was different, I looked for ways to find ghosts aliens but I never found anything to convince me, perhaps a videotape with a strange object fliying, but didn't impress me, although I'm sure others do.

The object was silver, as a point and had spent several minutes in the same place, so I took my camera and I started to record, after that, it began to move and went behind some trees, where I lost it, I thought about sending it to the TV, but I think it is very good (for them) and can be used for purpose contrary to what I believe.


 * Exchange**

Hello Tim: My name is Carlos, I'm student of Geophisics Engineering, I live in Mexico City. I like History, Astronomy and Military Science, I like rock music and play guitar in a rock band, my favorite bands are Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Strokes, The White Stripes and a Mexican band called Molotov. I like soccer and my favorite team is precisely that of my university, the UNAM Pumas. I live with my sister who is younger than me, she's studying high school, also I have a girlfriend, she's Psychologist. I'd like to visit Canada sometime and learn another language, maybe German or Italian that I studied in high school, I also would like to complete another university degree, maybe Physics or History or Philosophy. I hope we have a lot of communication and help us each other with our language class. Please, tell me about yourself. Greetings from Mexico. Carlos

Hola amigos y amiga,

Me llamo Tim y yo vivo en Guelph, Canada. Yo estudio ingeniería a la universidad de Guelph. Soy en mi semestre final. A mi me gusta todo la música. En español mi canción favorito es Chu Chu Ua para Brigada Boom. Yo pienso que es una canción divertidísima. Es popular en México?  __[] __

Yo juego a todos los deportes, pero yo prefiero hockey y ultimate frisbee.  Yo vivo con 2 amigos en una casa. Mis padres vivan en Ottawa, Canada.  Yo no tengo una novia, pero yo soy muy feliz.  Yo deseo visitar México y todos los país del mundo. Mucho gusto,

Tim

Hello again Tim:

Chu Chu Ua was a very popular song here in Mexico two months ago, but not anymore, I already knew it, because it is a song for kids and my girlfriend put it to the kids who worked, here's the link to the child version: __[] __

I don't practice hockey but I'd like to see a live game, what's your favorite team?, I don't know the rules of ultimate frisbee but my university have frisbees to play and is popular in the central campus yard called "Las Islas" (The islands).

I say goodbye, leaving a picture of Las Islas, is not the best but it helps to imagine how big are Las Islas, in this week I'll tell you more about other places. Greetings Carlos
