The name of the song is "bold as love" by Jimmy Hendrix, but this is a cover that like me more than the original. Is from John Mayer. 

The things why this song like me are: I like the way John Mayer play the guitar and specially in this song, I think that the form in that he accelerate the compasses, help him to manipulate your senses, and is most easy to make you feel emotions and be excited. I like the things that the song talk about too... its talking about the psychology of the color, and how the writer (of the song) feel the colors express feelings and how there are bold... bold as love (thats why is the name of the song), but its not only that, the song have so much things to talking about on the musical part, this have so good arrangements and change the traditional form of the rhythm.

The name of the song is "Pa´ Mayte" by Carlos Vives.

The things why this song like me are: I like the things that the song talk about, and I´m so fanatic about the latin rhythm and in this song can listen a traditional rhythm of Colombia, the "Colombian music" that is a combination of native sounds of there country (percussions) and other sounds that the slaves (African Americans) of the Spanish bring in the conquest (percussions too) then the accordion and the guitar add to the music instruments that the Colombian native music use. This funny song (colombian music in general) it´s a complicated music to play because of there accelerate rhythm and it´s one of the most bigger representative music of the Latin American culture. I feel so identify whit this music because it so happy like me and like all the Latin American culture

1. Use the topics in the box to discuss the benefits of life in your city (climate and beauty of the city, cultural attractions and activities, employment, public transportation, quality of life).

Monterrey is beauty city with a lot of beauty places to visit, places like "valle oriente", "San Agustin" or "galerias monterrey" that are shopping centers where you can go to have a nice afternoon with friends or family, in this places you can go shopping, look for a movie theater or have a dinner. Monterrey have a cultural attractions too, like "museo marco" or our traditional "calle del arte" that is a street in where local artist expose is own art all the sunday, this street is on the most old part of the city so is a beauty places where you can see houses and buildings constructed in a vernacular form and whit a very nice ornament. Monterrey is a city with a lot of opportunities employment in fact is one of the most opportunities cities on México, so in here you you will never lack work and own city is the most happiness in Mexico and one of the most happiness in the word according to an article published by National Geographic. Also here you can move with facility over all the city thanks to a very effective public transport, you can move easy in a meter or trucks.

HW. 1.2 Write why you live where you live. has your family lived there for a long time? what do you like and dislike about living there? why?

In Monterrey there are so many employment opportunities and facilities to travel to a news countries (for work), there are so many opportunities to realize your academic studies in a lot of universities that have differents learning systems, so you can choose what you like more. Here, in Monterrey, are beauty tourist places like "chipinque", "la estanzuela" or "cerro de la silla" where you can go and have time whit the nature, also we are famous for our god food whit our "carne asada" and "cabrito" and the "regios" are a friendly people.

I live here because all my family live here too and my work and my father works are here too, also I think all I want in this moment I can found here, so I feel comfortable in this city at the moment. Maybe the only think I can complain about it´s that Monterrey have a terrible traffic and the people are so neurotic at driving moment.
