Playing electric guitar - it's amazing and creative

I got interested in playing guitar one day when I found an old acustic guitar in my basement. At first I used to take piano lessons in my house but I found it boring but when I discovered this fantastic instrument there I felt it was for me. My father who wasa misician encouraged me by teaching me basic notes.

I found I really liked it and was soon doing things which were more complicated. As my family thought that I had talent they suggested me to try with electric guitar, so they bought me one.

When I got it I decided to take electric guitar lessons and now I think I improved a lot. Sometimes my friends who also are musicians, come round to my house we play together. Soon we formed a band and now we play in the church every Tuesday and Sunday. I find it really amazing and relaxing because I can express my feelings in the songs and the guitar helps me.

I recommend it as a hobby because for me it's one of the most creative and interesting free-time activities I can imagine.

Hi Anne!

Thanks for writing me. It’s amazing to hear from you’re coming to Argentina. In my opinion I suggest you to come in the summer holidays because it is the best time in the year and you can do more activities.

If you want to meet  young people I think you could spend a few days in the disco or How about going to “Camp of the Youth”?. I’m sure you will make a lot of friends because there are people from all over the world and you can spend time with them travelling to Cachi for example, helping poor people. Also it would a great idea to stay in my house!

In the summer the weather is too hot during the day but it becames cold in the evenings so you should bring some light clothes for the daytime but a jersey and a jacket for evenings.

Thanks also for your invitation to join the group I’d love to do so if I’m free. I’ll be able to show you some if of the most interesting things in my area. Let me know when you’re coming!

Best wishes

Judith

The Pantheras oncas

 The Panthera onca is the largest feline of América. It is a robust and muscular animal. its weitghs ranges from 56 to 96 kg. However there are records of larger males which weights 158 kg,  and even the little ones can have a weight as low as 36 kg. Females tend to be 10-20% smaller than males. The length of this felid varies between 162 and 183 cm . His shoulder-height is about 67-76 cm.38 The head is large and with a prominent jaw, the eye color varies from  yellow  to a greenish yellow and ears are relatively small.

Its habitat extends from the south  of the state of Arizona in the southwestern United States through Central America to  the north of Argentina, including most of the Brazilian Amazon.

Like the other felids, is a carnivore, which feeds meat.Is a lonely hunter,  and their diet includes more than 80 species  as capybaras, tapirs, peccaries and deer.

The pantheras homes began to desappear especially by problems with farmers because pantheras kills their animals.

It is difficult to change the way of thinking of the people so  some protections programs are planning strategies that can help to protect the ecosystem of these species. One of these strategies is making conferences in schools, districs and companies to raise awareness and ensure the habitat of this animal.
