Food waste

American waste 40% of their food. 

According to the class and the video the american tend to waste the food. This video it is about an experiment make it for know the quantity of food waste the people in United States. 

They reviewed the garbage in a restaurant and they found a lot food like potates, hamburguers, soda, chicken wasted. This waste it was only in one restaurant, I can´t imagine the waste in all restaurants in the country. 

This is alarming but not surprising because the american tend to waste and not only with food.

Teenage

It is a period of life, where everyone have passed through. We can define teenage as a period after the childhood, It goes from puberty to the full development of the organism. The adolescence begins between 12 and 13, and ends at 18 and 21 years old.

This part of life brings psychological, physical and socials changes. For example, in the psychological changes. Teens tend to change constantly mood like feeling happy and sad. They also act like children, but also tend to have an attitude of maturity as adults, been able to make decisions for themselves.

In the social part, the teenage tend to choose their friends, spend more time with them than with their family; therefore, outsiders tend to have much influence on their lives. Social groups starts to be one of most important part because they try to search their personality. 

In the phsycal changes, it is different for women and men. In this part the body start to change they do not look like children. So, they begin to see themselves as adults.

Another characteristic is that they change them likes for example: in the clothes, in their hair, room decorations, music, movies and activities. They have more interest in dance or out to parties with their friends. Also, they  opt for a crazy life and do what they want. So often, they tend to make many mistakes in the life. In, nowadays we can see this, drinking alcohol or ingest drugs that generated addiction, have children or choose wrongly in love.

Therefore in this period, parents should have more authority over them

Typical areas of conflict between parents and teenagers can be:

·         Discussions due to the time restrictions teenager.

·         The friends.

·         The time shared with family versus what time spend with people their age.

·         School and job.

·         Cars and driving privileges.

·         Quotes and sexuality.

·         Clothing, hair and makeup.

·         Self-destructive behaviors such as smoking, alcohol and drugs(American pshycological association,2015)

This is one of the most important period of the life, but, it is also the most difficult. Many people can say that it was not easy, where there were mistakes, teachings, new sensations and unknown things appear. In another hand, take decisions about what is right or wrong.

Also, the inability of young adolescents to consider the consequences of their actions that they will have in the long term.

Some mistakes of adolescents happen for the lack of information or because they do not have parents to tell them what is wrong, and often give them freedom to do whatever they want.

I think that the most difficult during adolescents is the love because is the first and they think that it is the unique love for all the life.

About my teenage I think that for my was difficult, but, also I spend a good time with my friends, I met new people, I made mistakes but learned from them. I changed my thinking, my hair, my clothes, among other things. I remember when I was in the high school that, many classmates were in problems of drugs, alcohol, in the house and many girls were pregnant. 

 I think the most important thing is what remains, as memories. The choices we make in the teenager will be reflected forever.

A little bit about myself, I am the youngest of 3 brothers as shown in the pictures.

My sister, in that times, made me bullying because she always was higher than me. Actually I have 20 and she 24 and I am higher than her

I remember that I was in a dancing presentation

When I had 16 years old I used to practiced footbaal (indor soccer) with my friends. In this photo we were playing an important game against a team of United States.

Here I had 17 years old. I was with my high school friends I remember that I spend good time with them. Now I can't see them because we take differents ways..

This photo was on a trip we make to the mountains, It was done with all the friends of the class because it was the last year of high school

Here I had 18 years old.  In the first photo I was with all the girls excited for the picture and the boys was behind because they didn't wanted to be in the photo

Living in another country

I think that it is not easy live in another country beacause all the countries have differents costums, cultures or traditions and that is the most difficult for foreigners, learn about how is the people , how they eat or if they dont like to say some words because could be disrespecful. Many people tend to make mistakes in other country, for that is is important to know how its the country.I have many friends from others countries, for example I have a cuban friend, though we speak Spanish  she does not understand some words ticas.

I remember that I had a good friend, He was from Germany and spoke two languages: german and english. About his appearance he had blond hair, blue eyes,  he was very tall and so handsome.

 He was here in CR for learn spanish and for work like a volunteer in a hight school. The first time when I met him, he had a month here and does not understand some words like: cafecito (ito). It was funny beacause it was ticas words; I had to explain him what mean this. Now he understands Spanish and even speaks ticas words 

 For my was a good experience met him because I learn many things about english, he and him country.










Some strange laws and costums. Interesting for me are:

In thailand , you should not touch a person´s head (even of a child) because the head is sacred.  This part of the body is considered the most sacred of human beings, because according to religious tradition is where the soul of the person staying.

In china when you use chopsticks you should not leave them upright in the bowl. It brings bad luck






In russia, men should take off their gloves to shake somebody´s hand.
