I remember whatching the new about a men whose job was to take care of an island, I would like that. I think that this Island is not just that, I has all the luxuries that someone who ownes this kind of places whoud have. Living there can be fun, I guess.
What makes me doubt is that I do not know if the guy that look after this place have to make all the maintenance like: cutting the grass, the house work, security, etc. But, if the place is an island, obiusly it is very big, so that must be impossible. Then, I would enjoy this job because after the work, that it is I think, the coordination or administrations of the maintenance of the island, I woud use all the facilities around.
Aditionally, this job would leave a lot of free time to spend and the payment would be high too, so, what could be better.  
If I do know anybody who has this kind of job? I wish I have, but not. That would be great, he or she would be my best friend. I would invite myself al the time to his or her place creating excuses to be there. Even I would offer myself to work cutting the grass too. But all of these will never happen.

I would like to meet Gogol (Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol ) because he is a very complex historical figure and because he wrote the book “Death Souls”, the first book of his that I read that impresed me very much. This is a book about a men who wants to be better concidered in his society, and for that concideration he has to, he thinks, have more eslaves. But the problem is that he, Pavel Ivanovich Chichikov is his name, doesn’t have the money and the land to have more eslaves, so he decides to buy the certificates or the papers of the eslaves that are already dead so he can show to other people that he had eslaves but that now they are dead.
If we think of the argument of the story it sounds quiet stupid, but in reading the book it is understood. The argument is a kind of critical point of view about the society
Gogol was leaving in I think. One of them could be the hypocritical ideas or moral rules on his time. I do not know if he was criticying the fact that existed eslavery, but I doub it. There are many other things that are good about this master peace of this author, but here is no time and space in the sheet to write it.
One question that I woud ask to this writer could be that where is the rest of the book, because many pages, in diferent parts of the story, have been lost.  And about what I would like to talk with him would be a lot more obvious, because he lived a long time ago, and just that makes him interesting.

LERNING ENGLISH

English is difficult to learn, at least it is for me. It is becouse, I think, the origins of both languages. Englis is more of combinations and spanish is more of acumulations. I mean, that english use less word than spanish and combine them to form new word, but spanish creates more words, so, that means that they differ primiraly in their rules and structure; and that makes english difficult to spanish speaker to learn.
Another different thing, but maybe this is a difficulty for english teachers, is that language is nothing, it becomes something, or take form only if this is related with something else. Language is like a key, it is usefull for opening new doors, as english heps, because of number of people that use it, to communicate to many people abroad. But language must be “use” for something, it is a tool, but by it self it is, as I said before, nothing.
I now some, only some english, and this has helped me a lot. And nowadays for the use of internet, the cable channels, etc. With get in touch with a lot of english. If I search for something in the internet, any subject, it is more probable that it is in english than in spanish, because is it more use. So, why it is important to learn english, I think that I aswered it?
