1.  One of the happiest moments in my life was having dinner in Italy with my husband. We were on a little island on a lake. And there were these musicians who were playing music. The moment when we watched the sunset was so romantic. I can't remember when I felt happier.

2. I think the happiest day in my life was celebrating 18th birthday and played volleyball on the beach. There were some other guys there who were playing a game , too, and and we played against them. They were really good, so the fact that we won felt really great.

Exercise B
Research are concerned about to decline in bee colonies. Some blame hard winters. In a normal winter, the number of bees in a hive drops by about 10 percent. However, in recent years, beekeepers have seen an annual fall of approximately 30 percent in the number of bees in their hives. Some had losses of roughly 50 percent, and some even lost nearly 90 percent of their bees. Overall, the U.S, experienced a decline of more than 70% in its total bee population. However, this problem does not exist everywhere. In fact, globally, there has been an increase of more than 45% in the number of hives, and honey production has also risen by approximately  100% in the last 50 years.

My interesting personal story

We used frequently to lose care about the small but most value things. We are now living in a society where consumerism and trends are the most important things for everybody. In our country, the biggest part of people are poor and the money of the country is distributed in a few people. My family and I have never been people with money so we have never have luxuries.

My parents are divorced since I was 10 years. My biological father is a soldier, and he also has problems with alcohol. One day he made a mistake under the influence of alcohol at work, so he get punished by a hard way. He went to militar jail for a year and he instead of receives his regular pay that was around $45,000 per 15 days, he starts to receive $5,000 per 2 weeks. And for the divorce pension instead we received around $10,000 we start to receive like $2,000 per 2 weeks.

That was a drastical change in our lives. My mom has a health problem so she can´t work. She has 2 houses and a business space and she rent them. But in that time she was only renting one of them and it doesn't cost lot of money. She also doesn't want me to get a job because in that time I was 13 years and I hadn´t work never before. We was on a real bad situation and it stills like that for a lot of months. We were very carefully about in what we spent money. We can't go out in family for months. I can't go to my graduation trip beacuase I didn't have the money. Now we are living not with luxuries as always, but I really learn to take care about all the things and blessings that I had. For me a bowl of beans and a tortilla with fresh cheese is a very good thing in my table. We have to start to appreciate that little things that we have. We never know what the life, god, or the destination has for us. Now I'm studying the career I like the most in a university were a lot of people would like to get in but no much people can because is expansive. I really appreciate that I get learn the lesson. The small thing are always the best.
