Music

First of all I want to start telling that music means a lot for me, is a really important part of my life and I don't know exactly why. I think one of the reasons of this is that music allows you to express a lot of feelings and emotions, I mean whatever you need to express you can do it through the music.
I started listening to music when I was a little child, that's what I say that it is an important part of my life, and I like a lot of styles of music I don't have a specific style of music that I used to hear, If you take a look at my mp3 you will find many kind of music.
One of my favourites bands is Guns and Roses, I love this band because their lyrics are very interesting and I can feel a connection with the music when I listen their songs.
I prefer listening to music in Englis because I really like the language and I feel more connection with this language, also it is a good way to learn new words, to learn how to pronounce and a lot of different things.

Bilingualism

Bilingualism is the ability to speak two languages perfectly well, and this can be native or obtained. For example, if there is a person who is born in Chile but  learn how to speak english and dominates that language, we talk about "obtained bilingualism", on the other side, if a person is born in Chile but goes to Italy and learns how to speak Italian perfectly well, we talk about "native bilingualism".
On the other hand, my opinion about bilingualism is that it is something that can help you a lot, regardless of whether it is "native" or "obtained", because it could help you get a better job or to be more succesful in your life, also everybody knows that speaking two languages is well received. 
So, according to the definition of Bilingualism, I will never be able to be bilingual, but I would really like to learn English to a great extent, and I think that if I put all my effort to do it I could achieve a very good and accepted level.

Writing

I really enjoy writing because it's a good way to express yourself, and I think that it's more interesting to do it in English because is a challenge for me since is not my native language. Obviously it's more difficult to write a paragraph in English but that's what I like to write in this language, because you can learn  different things and prove your capacity.
In many opportunities I had to write essays in my mother tongue and I can't say that it was easy, so I think that it will be difficult to do it in other language, but not impossible, maybe if I try to do it in this moment it will be a disaster! so, For this term I expect to learn how to make an essay and
then be able to do it whitout the necessity of ask for help.
