Holidays

In my country we have a unique holiday called "La Cancion Criolla" and it takes place on October 31. People normally eat typical dishes from my country, there are a lot of typical dances, and music that represent my country also there are a lot of fireworks, sometimes there are parades and people enjoy this. I really enjoy this holiday specially for the variety of Peruvian dishes that people always cooked on this day.

Comparison

In my opinion I think that dogs are better than cats because of many reason. One of them is because dogs like to play more than cats. Dogs always like to play, run, and do funny things. but cats usually stay sleeping and they don't play with people. Also if you stay alone in the house, dogs always are with you, even they follow you to every part of the house. For example when my family travel to the USA, I stay in the house alone, but I really don't feel alone because I was with my dog. But in the case of cats they usually stay in one place or sometime they go out of the house and you don't know where is it. That's why a prefer dogs because with dogs are a very friendly, and a very good companion. 

Language

In my opinion I think that English is a very important language that we should learn because it will gives us facilities to communicate with many people in the world. Besides English I would like to learn Italian, I think that this language is very nice and also many people in my family talks Italian so that's one of the reason why I would like to learn Italian also if a know Italian people said that French would be easily to learn because it is similar. Also I thing that learn Chinese would be good idea because China had a lot of businesses around the world and relationship with many companies, so learned Chinese would give me more opportunities in my future work.  

Money

If a have $10 millions, first I would like to travel to Europe and Asia because I really want to know their culture and history, specially to Italy because my family is from there, also I would like to buy a new house in Calgary because it is a nice and clean city and the most important thing there is no traffic also I like the amazing view of Calgary at night. Then I would like to donate some of it to help some people that they really need it and finally I would like to save the rest of the money for my future studies at University.

Crime

I think that Calgary is a safe city because when I always go out at night I feel very secure, also a read an article and I saw that Calgary is the 10th most secure city in Canada. I really think that Calgary is safer than my hometown for many reasons, first of all my country has the highest violent crime in South America in the last years, for example if they want to steal your phone or wallet in many cases they kill you. Also there is a lot of corruption with the police and the security is not enough. So if you want to feel safe in my hometown first of all you can not trust in anyone and always you have to be careful to the places you visit.

Sports

Sports 

I really like to do many sports like soccer who is one of my favorites sports, also I practice other sports like tennis, swimming, basketball and mixed martial arts. Right now the sport that i'm practicing and that I find it really interesting and fun is mixed martial arts. I began to practice this at the beginning of this year, one of my favorites fighters in mixed martial arts is Conor McGregor who is know one of the most successful fighters, I really admire him because of his attitude and I always try to copy many of his punches combinations. Also I really like to practice mixed martial arts because it really helps me to be very disciplined during challenges.

Hello! My name is Paolo I`m from Peru. This is my first time in Calgary and I hope you have a good semester in the University of Calgary and have a lot of fun.
