Online shopping / How stuff works...

Online shopping...

1)
a) Nike Soccer Ball

c) Umbro Jacket
d) Playstation 3 console
e) Beer and Wine cooler

2)
These things aren’t essential but I want to have them for enternaiment with my friends. The products they chose, could have been chosen by a child, but it would be fun to have them. It is very difficult for me to buy the five things because they are all very expensive. All the things I chose are beautiful but are not entirely necessary.


How stuff works….

I chose the theme called “Totem”. This article has a direct connection with the study of anthropology. Totem is an important discipline and that's why I selected it. The author of the article explains that Totem, in anthropology, is an animal or another object that is associated with a group of people, usually a clan (a group claiming descent from a common ancestor). Members of the group generally regard the Totem as their special friend, protector, and often, a mythical or real ancestor. The most interesting part of the article is that there is a consensus to refer to the Totem, and not just in a given region but throughout the world.

Presentation

Hello my name is Rodolfo Angel and I'm studying antrophology at the university of Chile. This university is the best in my country. My studies need the application of english because a large part of the information we study is in English. This is my first blog and I created it to upload the activities done in the class. I know that it is very important to have a blog because it is a tool to connect people and share information around the world. This year, I'm very excited to start learning about one of the most important languages. In this course there are many people, all with the desire to write, read and speak in english.
