I'm totally surprised that a racist like Trump is the president of the United States. I did not expect it. Many people are protesting against this man, But I don't think they can do something. He has won, that is, the majority of the population has voted him. I don't understand how, but they have chosen him before Clinton. I don't know what this man is capable of doing ... I'm very worried.

Today is Halloween. It is a traditional party. On this celebration the people (especially the children) wears frightening costumes or masks to make themselves look like somebody else. At night they go from house to house to collect candys. Acording The National Confectioners Association says Americans will spend $2.7 billion on Halloween candy this year.

This year it has become fashionable to wear a Hillary Clinton's and Donald Trump's masks. 2000 adults tonight will become candidates for the White House. 55 percent of them will wear Trump and 45 of Clinton.

Opinion:

I love this party because you see children with much illusion celebrating this tradition. But in small towns not many people celebrate it. On the other hand a friend celebrate her birthday on Halloween. So we celebrate   the two things at once.

Joke

Your body language shapes who you are

I really was interested with this video because on one hand I like very much psychological matters and on the another hand I was thought to do my research work from this theme. 

I saw all the video in english and I understood the most of it. I was feeling very satisfied. I think that I improved my english in summer.

Well, leaving aside this topic I want to tell my opinion of this viedeo. The topic of this video is the lenguaje no verbal, there is the body language. I was agree with her when she said that our body language shapes who you are. When we feel happy we smile, when we feel powerful we expand our arms and we lift our head...

But I was disagree when she tell that we can change in two minutes. I think that it is impossible. Maybe it is possible in some weeks but no in two minutes.
