Wine

Wine is a kind of alcoholic beverage. This beverage is produced by the fermentation of grape juice. A good fermentation of wine give us a good flavor. That why the age of the wine is very important because with the years the flavor become more concentrated. In addition, the age of the wine determinate the price of it. The grape is important too, because this gives the color, smell and texture to produce the wine. If we want to buy a good wine is neccesary to know something about it. Nowadays there is something called wine tasting. This is like a kind of profession where the wine is examinated and evaluated to know the quantity of sugar after the fermentation, and the quantity of chemical compounds. This is an interested topic. I would like to learn more about this to recognize when is a good or bad wine.

Sex

Long time ago our parents didn't talk about sex becouse it was considered a sin. Nowadays many things are changing little by little. Our parents start talking about sex with us frecuently because the society is very corrupt and the young people are very irresponsible. For example, a common case is when the girls of fourteen years old get pregnant. This is really sad. This happens becouse the parents and the schools don't provide enough information about methods to prevent pregnancy. Also not only the girls have to take care about this. The boys have to take care too becouse they have the same responsibility that the girls. Additionally, sex is not only pregnancy. Unprotected sex can lead to venereal diseases. This is very dangerous and in many cases these illness don't have cure. I hope everybody in the world takes the sex very serious.

Credit

The credit is one of the biggest word in the US. Without credit we can't do anything in this country. If we want to buy a house, a car, get a student loan, credit cards, etc we need to have credit. The banks need a credit history where they can see if you pay all your expenses on time. When you are going to buy a house, the bank checks your credit to know what is your credit score. If your credit score is between 750 to 850 you have excellent credit. When you have a high score or fico score you can get a better interest rate and your monthy payment is less. A good way to have a good credit is always paying everything on time. Don't forget to pay your next bill.

Depression

In mi opinion this kind of illness is very serious and dangerous. It can affects children, adults and young people. when somebody is depressed can hurts herself or the other's lives. It happends for many reasons, people who suffer of this disease feel very emotional. They think that they are not important for anybody, they feel alone, sometimes it is hereditary or the most common case it is when the children come from separated parents. All these motives make people do bad or stupid things like smoke, drink alcohol, consume drugs, etc.
People who have this illness need a special treatment such as psychotherapy where they can talk about their problems. Also they can take medicines. It is very important remember that people who have these problems need love, protection and comprehension.

Go skiing

I remember my first time when I went skiing. I was very disappointed becouse I don't like cool wheater, but I did that becouse my husband likes to sky. To go skiing it is necessary to buy appropriate clothes and to buy or to rent the equipment to go skiing. Clothes, goggless, skis, gloves, sacks and scarfs are very expensive. Also in winter the logging is very expensive. One of the place to go skiing is Vermount. It has many places for logging, restaurants and bars. We were there for 4 days and it was amazing. The view of the mountains is incredible becouse everything is white. This is a new experience for me and I like it. I would like to repeat this experience this winter.
