Not even "Soda Stereo" exist, he was influenced by a lot of rock bands, from then on other bands came out.We can invite him because his music is very inspiring and we could learn about his past as a person or thee relationsheap with his family or friends.A lot of students in a survery that we did in the school, chose Cerati beacuse there are a lot of fans of him and they do not even know him.One of the interesting thing that we do not knew about him, is how good he was in his school years, and if he had a good friendships with his classmates, it could be atracttive for the audience.Caterina Tassaroli 2023.]]> 2023-09-18 16:53:32 UTC https://padlet.com/sofischwab/znda7ouzb11xbuvr/wish/2709205182 Camila Acconcia https://padlet.com/sofischwab/znda7ouzb11xbuvr/wish/2720993477 To editor 

I’m writing to put forward my proposal to invite as a role model to deliver a speech. I would like to suggest that Joaquinha would be the correct option.

The first aspect to point out is that “La Joaqui” is a very modest person, due to her big heart and wisdom of life she might teach and demostrate us that with a few resources you can succeed. She suffered domestic violence, but after that awful situation she is raising her voice, as a woman and as a singer too.

When it comes to go to a dance club, Joaquinha’s songs are the ones which encourage and cheer people up and that is why I think students will listen to her when she talks about the values of not being quiet in front of a complicated situation and never giving up. I am convinced that Joaqui’s voice would be valuable and would reach the young minds.

I am writing to put forward my proposal to invite Conor Mcgregor as a role model to give a speech at our school. I would like to suggest that we invite him to talk next summer in the opening year ceremony, particularly about how he has overcame many obstacles. 

To my way of thinking, he would teach students about how to succeed even when the odds are not in your favour. He could talk about fighting for your dreams, even when you are completely alone. He says that you do not need anyone but yourself, but you must be predisposed to be disciplined and to sacrifice all the distractions to achieve your goals. As he is a ufc fighter, he would be able to talk to the students about how lonely you can feel when you are a fighter and that is not easy at all, but he overcame that feeling and succeeded.

Maybe another topic children would like to listen him talking about, also related to what I have already said, is that before he started fighting he was a plumber and now, thanks to his hard wor, commitment and discipline, he is one of the highest paid fighters in the world. Another fact the may not know is that he suffered bullying during his childhood and he was discriminated due to his nationality, but none of this was enough to stop him.

I am writing to put forward my proposal to invite my role model to make a speech in our school. I woukd like to suggest that we ask the former-boxer Marcos "chino" maidana. 
Marcos Maidana is a famous Argentinian boxer have won an international acknowledgment  by facing the undefeated boxer and wordl champion. I would like him to come and give a speech because Maidana has demostrated skills and passion for boxing from a very young age. For example, resources or specialized facilities did not exist in his hometown, so he and his young brother practiced in their backyard , using handmade gloves and an improvised boxing bag.
In 2004, Maidana had an impressive winning streak, achieveing a record of 35 victories which 31 of them were by knockout.
I woulf like to hear about his entire life, but my suggestions are as follows: how his attitude to life helpef him to overcome his obtacles, how his way of thinking depended on the situation he was in, and the last topic would be what he thinis was the most outstanding moment of his career as a boxer and why. I am convinced that Maidana's advice would be an example to move foward and concentrate on one's goals.

I would suggest that we ask the member of the British royal family, Lady D.
Diana was born into the British nobility, and grew up close to the royal family on their Sandrigham estate. Her activism and glamour made her an international icon, and earned her enduring popularity. In 1981, she became engaged to Charles, the eldest son of Queen Elizabeth II. Their wedding made her princess of Wales and after that, the couple had two sons, William and Harry. During her life she had to overcome many obstacles, like when her marriage to Charles suffered due to their incompatibility and extramarital affairs. After that event, the Royal family turned it's back on her, and that generated a great controversy. The media eye was on her, and she began to suffer form depression and other disorders.
There are several topics that Diana could cover in her speech, and I have no doubts that we would be benefited from hearing her views. My suggestion are as follows: How she took royal duties; how her experience with charity was; how she ended up involved with the international Red Cross and how it was to be part of it; What it is like to be a member of the Royal family; Among others. I am convinced that her speech would inspire a lot of students and I would be grateful if you consider my suggestions.

How's everything going? I'm happy to hear that you are meeting a nice girl, I remember when you told me you thought that it would never happen.
Of course I can help you, I'm going to tell you about "Cosquin Rock", it's an Argentinian festival which is pretty big and it always invites national music groups and artists. It lasts three days and takes place during the third week of February.
People usually celebrate it wearing rock jackets and more informal jeans with boots, also, people are used to drink craft beer and eat sandwichs in each recreational patio next to the scenarios. I personally like this festival because it's a familiar and cool event, and it has different spaces to enjoy the day!
Hope this helped
Best wishes,

How are things?  i remember that it was your birthday! 
Plus, you don't Tello me anything about the dj, and the music, How was it?

Turning now to your question about the festival  "Cosquín Rock" is a music event which has six stages, and it is designed for young people. 
This event starts in the second half of february, also it is one of the most popular in Argentina, also the people that organizes the event has in mind what the audience wants to listen.

The flamboyant outfits are amazing, as well as creative, that is my favorite part, so we could prepare an outfit to go and enjoy the  "Cosquín Rock", with this is distinguieshed by its artistic proposal of three days of prue music session, so let me now Rob.
See you next weeknd for the party.]]> 2023-10-04 00:03:43 UTC https://padlet.com/sofischwab/znda7ouzb11xbuvr/wish/2731062352 Camila Acconcia https://padlet.com/sofischwab/znda7ouzb11xbuvr/wish/2734377375 Hi Rob!

How’s life going? i’m glad to hear about you and your newborns siblings, I send you positive energy to survive these next months! 

The question offends me! of course i can give you a hand with your school project. The best festival in Argentina and i dare to say the best in the world is “the national party of chocolate” in Bariloche on holy week. The main event of the night is a chocolate bar of two tons and the twelve thousand easter eggs that are gifted.

You won’t believe it Rob, But in this festival people eat that huge chocolate bar Because not only does it weight a lot but it also is two blocks long! Plus, during the 4 days of the festival a bunny gives to everyone who walks on the main street a easter egg for free! I’m a big fan of sweet things and I reckon I would end up with a stomached.

Why don’t we arranged to go for next year? I know you know it is worth it! 

Hope it helps! Kisses.

How's life going? I remember that you told me your brother was sick, is he better now? Does he need any help?

I would love to help you! If i have to tell you my favourite festival in my country, I'd not doubt and tell you about the Gualeguaychu's Carnival. It's a very popular festival that takes place in the city of Gualeguaychu during the summer, around january and february. It's allegedly one of the most popular festivals in Argentina

People celebrate it in many different ways, some people dance, others play instruments, but everyone has a good time and enjoys with friends, family or even strangers. Attendants spray foam and throw a kind of small balloons filled with water to each other. It's my favourite festival because I love watching people laughing and being really happy and that brings me joy!

I hope i was helpful! Tell me then how it went!

XOXO

how are things? Could you get your phone fixed? because the last time you told me that it was broken. I hope that you could solve your problem with that, sure it was expensive. 

Of course i can help you! which subject do you need it for? a very famous festival in Argentina is the carnival of Gualeguaychu, it's celebreted in the summer, it lasts from 7th January to 25th  febraury, and it takes place in Gualeguaychu, Argentina.

A large amount of people usually travel to take part of it. In this festival some performers dance and also play instruments, drums and cymballs, people can dance to the rythm. In addition, some people spray foam and throw water ballons, a lot of teenagers enjoy it. A really amazing part to see is when some of the performers go on a carriage. I like this festival because you can attend with your family or friends, appreciate the performers and have a picnic, so you can spend all your day there.

I hope it has been helpfull. If you have any question dont doubt to write me.

Best!

It's been a while since we last talked, how are things going? I remember you told me you were throwing a big party for your birthday. How was it? Did you have fun? i really hope so!

Of course, i will be glad to help you with your project. In my country, there's a festival called "national festival of the longest night". It takes place in Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego and it's celebrated each 21 of June.

It's celebrated because on this particular day in this area of Argentina, it gets dark at 5 pm so it's literally the longest night of the year. During the sunset different shows and events are organized. There's also music and parties, and around the Encerrada bay you can see hikers with torchers lighting the way. I like it because te night ends with fireworks.

Hope i helped Rob!
xoxo
