Bailes Típicos - Typical Dances (Denis)

In Bolivia there are many typical dances like Diablada, Chaquarrera, Achas, and Morenada, Tinku, etc. For example, Diablada is from Oruro because there was “El Socavón” a fight between good and evil. Chaquarrera is from Chuquisaca where a man named Luis invented the hymn of Chuquisaca. Achas, Morenada, and Tinku were invented by men from different provinces. For example I like Tinku because the costume has many colors and also because the movements are nice. My mother likes it much because she is from Potosí.

Introduction - Miguel

My name is Miguel. I am 14 years old. I live in the city of Cochabamba. It is a place very beautiful. I like to play sports like volleyball, soccer, and basketball but I do not like basketball a lot more I like soccer. I have three siblings. They are called Lúis, Paola, and Yobana. When I get out of bed, I eat breakfast and clean my room. In the afternoon, I go to the playground at five oclock with my little brother and sometimes I go with my two sisters. We go to the playground to play volleyball or soccer. I like to drive a bicycle. My sisters do not like to drive bicycles because they have fear of falling. My favorite plate is piquemacho and oven chicken. I like to spend time with my family, go to the park or to the playground, or to my cousins. I will live in the city of Cochabamba three years more or four then I go to Santa Cruz to live. I was born in Santa Cruz. To me, Cochabamba is more pretty than Santa Cruz. I do not know if it is the same for my sisters but I am sure. In Santa Cruz, my uncles treated them bad and for this reason they should like Cochabamba.
