Hello everybody, this week on my blog I will talk about a country I like to go.
I like to visit Birmania, because is very different to the country that I live. First of all this country lives under a military dictatorship since 1988, so the early world changes and the so called "globalization" have not reached the most people of this country, except in urban areas.
Another interesting particularity is that this country is divided in seven ethnic states, for example, one state is called "the Kachin state" and another one is called "the Shan state". Most of the people lives from agriculture, the major economic activity, where rice is the most common cultivation and the base of burmese diet.
The burmese culture is a mix of indian, chinese, thai and burmese traditiones, reflected into language, cook and music, while arts have been influencede by buddhism too. This religion is predominant in the region.
I would like to travel around the country, especially to he Kachin state, localized in the Himalayas, I still remember the book "Political systems in upper Burma" by E.R Leach where he described how this peoples subscribe to different ethnics or beliefs systems for more power.
I would like to travel here to learn and interact in a multi-ethnic, exotic (for me) and millenary country.
Thats all for this week, see you next.

ResponderEliminarI remember that book too, is very interesting the Kachin's like. It would be fascinating to be there and see it in person...
Very interesting, Fabian.
ResponderEliminarConsider the following sentences, how can you improve them?
1. "this week on my blog I will talk about a country I like to go. "
2. "...because is very different to the country that I live."
3. "the major economic activity, where rice is the most common cultivation and the base of burmese diet."
You get 2 points.

I believe that your post it's ok. Really I don't see mistakes, Apparently all was wrote ver well. the only think that probably isn't perfectly correct is the spelling, but I repeat, your post is very good and clear.
ResponderEliminarthats all, good bye.
well, I go to cerrect my last coment. I saw (with help of our teacher) that you forgot put the subject in any sentnces, other mistakes that you did, it was in the conjugation of a verb, Ex: " I will talk about a country I like to go", the correct way to said it is will talk about a country I'd like to go.
ResponderEliminarOther problem is that you have to say "...because is very different to the country from I live" and not "...because is very different to the country that I live."
Finally, you wrote a words that don't exists (cultivation), you have to change it to crop.
that's all...
bye
