The house of my dreams

Imagine waking up to the sound of birds singing in the trees, outside and warm, sunlight shining through you bedroom window. This is what I dream of when I imagine my ideal house. It would be a small wooden cottage surrounded by a neat green lawn stretching all the way down to the river. There would be colourful flowers gently swaging in the cool breeze and an orchard at the back of the house with trees full of sweet and juicy oranges, apples and pears.
My house would have a large, bright kitchen where I could sit quietly at a wooden table admiring the view of my garden through the window.
My living room would be simple, with basic furniture like a long sofa and two large armchairs. It would also have a fireplace so I could keep warm on cool windy nights. There would be several wooden bookcases full of books to keep me company. My bedroom would have fur-posted bed with a white linen bed cover and the walls would be painted a soothing pale blue. If I could choose, I would live in a house just like this with its beautiful natural surroundings and peaceful atmosphere.

Close your eyes and imagine how it is outside, cold, windy, hot, etc.

It was a hot, lazy afternoon and, from where I sat on the shady veranda, I could see the purple mountains in the distance. The fragrant flowers around me blazed with colour, as sipping my sharply sweet lemonade, I listened to the gentle hum of crickets and twittering of birds. A soft, cool breeze brushed my skin while I enjoyed the smell of the rich earth. Suddenly, a familiar, annoying buzz sounded in my ear.

The advantages and disadvantages of being famous.

People who are famous are usually financially secure. They are often given free designer clothes, cars and jewellery by manufactures who receive free advertising when these items are worn or used. They receive first class service wherever they go. They have the power to influence other people and are ever models to many. They have domestic help and employ staff to take care of their business. They are confident and secure as they are successful professionals.
They seldom have privacy and often have to go out in public wearing a disguise so that they will not be recognized. Many people take advantage of them and them and they often lead lonely lives as they never know who their real friends are. Many end up having nervous breakdowns because of stress. Some drive in fear of being or having members of their family kidnapped. People expect them to look glamorous and happy at all times which is hard for celebrities to do.

What kind of people make you feel uncomfortable? Why?

It is know that every single person is unique regarding behaviour and personality. Hardly ever a day goes by without having to deal with different kind of people regarding from extrovert and authentic ones to those who are labelled as devious and two-faced.
Taking the above mentioned features into consideration, I would say that it is neither uncomfortable not difficult but impossible to maintain a single conversation with people who are deprived of positive attitudes. It is almost impossible to rely on a person who is in lack of good intentions. From my point of view, I think it is quite unrealistic to depend or trust in people who stand for negative connotations since they are only interested in their own well being no matter what may happen with the others. People often take advantage from the failure of the others and they take pride of this outrageous way of behaviour.

Tafi Del Valle

One of the world’s most famous landmarks is Tafi Del Valle, which is located in Argentina, to be more specific, in Tucumán (the smallest province in Argentina)
Tafi Del Valle has become a major tourist attraction, with thousands of tourist visiting it every year.
What makes Tafi Del Valle so special is its beautiful landscape which is absolutely free of any kind of pollution.
As you stand on the balcony on the hotel, the cold crisp air makes skin tingle. All you can hear is the sighing of the wind in the trees. In winter, the snow-covered mountains in the distance contrast with the thick green forest surrounding the village. another possible alternative to take into account is that one can go for a walk through the mountains where one can hear the rustling of leaves and the singing of the birds. Furthermore, the scent of wet earth and exotic flowers filled the warm, moist air which was delightful to breathe.
Without a doubt, Tafi Del Valle is an impressive and unforgettable landmark which is truly worth visiting.

My name is martin. Physically, I’m average height, neither fat nor thin. As for my personality, I was told that the most outstanding characteristic on me is generosity. I’m very good natured and always have time for chat. I hardly ever get annoyed except when children touch my bowl fish.
