Every room inside of The White House was decorated with different ornaments like garlands and stars. One of the main decorations in The White House is the Large Uncle Sam who was located on the main entrace of the house to receive the visitors. Another is The White House gingerbread decoration located in the State Room, the Blue Room Tree and Santa Claus. Every year in The White House the First Lady organize a big christmas party with special meals and deserts for all the visitors.

International Cusine

International Cusine was one of my favorites courses that I took to learn to cook. I had an excellent teacher. He taught me to cook a lot of recipes. The recipes included one appetizer, the main plate and the desert. Also he gave me some tips for cooking delicious meals and deserts. This course was expensive because the ingredients that we used to cook were very expensive. International Cusine require to use different kinds of appliances to cook like big oven, special skillets, pots and pans, etc. I like to cook and I really enjoy when I do this.

Facebook

Facebook is a very famous webpage in internet. Register in facebook is very easy and free. A lot of people use this page to keep communication with their family and friends, especially if they live outside of their native countries. In this page you can put your pictures, you can have the list of all your contacts, receive messages, etc. In facebook you can find people who you didn't see for long time. Also you can meet new people like your friends's friends. There is a long list of many contacts for all over the world. Personally, I don't like facebook because I think it is not very private. But I know a lot of people who like this webpage and they can't live without it.

The Wizard of Oz

Today I finished to read the book called The Wizard of Oz. I remember watched the movie when I was child, but I never read the book before. This book is really good for me, because I don't like to read a lot. This book is make for children, that's means easy to read. The letter's book is enough big to read and the book has some pictures to keep the attention of the reader. I liked a lot to read this book and I am very happy because I understand the story. I don't understood the meaning of all the worlds, but I got the idea of the story. I want to continue reading books like this. I think that it is a good progress for me.

Plastic Surgery

Nowadays, plastic surgery is very popular in the world. Years ago it was using to fix problems of deformation in the human bodies. On these days plastic surgery is using to fix problems of people's vanity and deformation in the human bodies. Women are very worried for their appearances and they want to use quickly treatments with quickly results that help their to fix their problems in their bodies or faces. They know that plastic surgery can fix all these problems in a short time. Also with the surgery they can change their bodies or faces to look more youngest and attractives. I think if a woman really needs to use this kind of surgery, it is correct to use it, but it is only for vanity, I think she should accepts her appearances who it is.
