Essay. Quilt Presentation. My experience

The most important aspect of a country is with no doubt the representation of its culture. When talking about any country, the culture is the main thing that people commonly like most. The culture is not only a thing belongs to the country, it strongly represents the way people live, speak, dress, the way how people celebrate specific activities, beliefs, and other things. There are many ways to represent the culture of a country; one of them is the confection of quilts, in which people can appreciate very well the culture. I think the activity we did last Thursday was really interesting and important for us. As students it is important to participate in activities like this, because it helps us to have a general knowledge not only about our culture but the culture of other countries too.

The part I liked most what the role we shared with the students from Europe. I think it was really nice to explain to them how our culture is in general. I really liked how they were really interested in our culture; they really wanted to know many things about it. I consider it is really nice that someone explains to you how the culture is, especially when you are from other country. I strongly believe that this kind of activities is really important for our academic preparation. I did not only explain my culture, I also learned a lot about England culture. Since we had to share information with other people, I had the opportunity to know more about other countries. The girl ,who was with me, tried to compare all the time the aspects I mentioned form Costa Rica with her country, England.

Practicing the language was another thing very important for me. I think activities like this are important because they help us to practice the language, and they can do it too. Most students from Europe know very well Spanish and they wanted to practice it. I think it was funny in the same time, because sometimes we were speaking both languages, but we did not realize it. I think the activity was really important for all of us. We really learned a lot.
