Today, at the beginning of the class we watched a Ted Talk, the name of the Ted Talk is "Are you a giver or a taker?”

The video explain that a giver is person who ask others "what can I do for you?", instead, takers ask "what can you do for me?”

The guy of the video talked too fast and I couldn't understand too much. He said something about that people in the middle think "I do something for you if you do something for me". But givers have the best performance in their job and he explained some reasons why but I couldn't understand it.

After to watch the video we commented it with our group. 

Then, we made a circle, more a triangle... and we talked about the book me before you. We did a short comment about what we read, what we liked the most, what we didn't like. For me the book is a little boring because I don't like romantic books. I prefer magic realism or drama. Actually, some days ago I realized that I have three books about infidelity. These book are not love stories. 

I think that me before you is a youth book, I don't how to say that but is the typical story of the Princess movies, she is a poor girl and she start working in a palace and she fall in love to the boy and they will be happy forever.  Well, that story have a different final but is the same. 

Finally, we did a game. We had to write in a paper two truths and one lie. Then we have to say our truths and the lie and the classmates have to guess what the lie was.

Some of the classmates are too predictable with that. 

My first lie was "I love romantic books". All of the guys know that I don't have a lover romantic books face. But it was good talk about it because the teacher accept ideas for the book that we have to read every module. So she told us that probably we will read The Picture of Dorian Gray and that is one of my favorite’s books. The first time that I read it was in school and the second one after high school. Since school I am like obsessed with Dorian personality. I like too much the psychologist and sociologist and Dorian have a mental problem, so I wanted to know more about him.

My second lie was I don't want to have a nephew because I want it but all people are confused because I told them the truth "My favorite food is chicharrones" and they thought that that was the lie. But yes, I am a vegetarian who loves chicharrones. I don' eat it but I can't forget the flavor and even today is the best flavor that I have tasted in my life.
