Article: Leisure and Pleasure





When I was a child, I loved to dance and my mother gave me the courage to start taking dance classes, such as folklore, Arabic, Spanish, etc.. I dance since I was six years. First, it seemed difficult to me but I decided to take a lot of classes, doing dance workshops, national and international conferences, etc., to learn more.

I realized that dancing is what I love, and nowaday I am dedicated to dance specifically Caribbean rhythms like salsa, mambo, cha cha cha, pachanga, among others. I give shows at events, I participate in competitions, and when I have free time I teach.




I think that dance for an audience and that people enjoy watching you do it you love so much is the best thing that can happen in life.
I would recommend this as a hobby because dancing gives you happiness, it's healthy and you can meet friendly people, you can travel and visit beautiful places.






An E-mail






Hi dear Anne,

Thanks for you E-mail. I'm very happy because I'll see you soon in Salta! From my point of view, I believe that the best time to come here is in the summer.

Well, first of all, if you want to meet people I recomend you to go to the Balcarse Street because there you have discos, pubs, restaurants and a lot of peolpe and tourits visit this place in holiday. On the other hand, you have amazing places to visit such as Cabra Corral dam, Cable-Car, etc. 


In the summer the weather is hot, so you should bring appropiate clothing for this kind of weather.  

Thanks for all, I'd like very much to do so. We'll be able to visit wonderful places in my area. I'll wait for you here!


All my love,

                                Toucans


Toucans are native to Southern Mexico, Central America, the northern portion of South America, and the Caribbean region. They generally live in tropical and sub-tropical regions. They make their nests in tree hollows and holes excavated by other animals such woodpecker.

Measuring 63.5 cm (25 in.) in length, the toco toucan is the largest of all toucans. Its black body and white throat are overshadowed by its most recognizable trait: a large colorful beak.

The bright orange beak is about 19 cm (8 in.) long – one third of the bird’s total length. But despite its substantial size, the beak weighs less than you may think. Composed of the protein keratin, the structure of beak incorporates many air pockets allowing for a very low mass.

Toucans are primarily frugivorous (fruit eating), but they are omnivorous and will take prey such as insects and small lizards.Toucans have also been known to plunder the nests of smaller birds, eating the eggs and nestlings. 

He beautiful tucan bird is becoming an endangered species because of deforestation is the destruction of the rainforests that is caused by humans. Or feathers or anything in the toucan is usually sold. On the other hand, the toucan is endangered because it is taken as a pet so they are carried home.


Although toco toucans are not considered threatened, you can still help protect their habitat. Avoid buying products made from rainforest wood and help raise funds to help protect the rainforests of South America.
