My favourite group

My favorite musical group is Green Day. The kind of music of Green day is Punk-Rock. Green Day is an American Rock trio formed in 1989 for Billie Joe Armstrong, Tré Cool and Mike Dirnt. At the beginning, they called the band “Sweet Children”, and later they changed it to “Green Day”.

Green Day was one of the bands that promoted the Punk trend at the 90`s. The group made his first album, called Dookie, in 1994. In the 90`s Green Day made three more albums: Insomniac, Nimrod and Warning, but these albums did not achieve the massive success of Dookie. Later, with their album American Idiot released in 2004, they reignited their popularity within a younger generation; they managed to sell five million copies in the U.S.A. The Band is enjoying now the success of his new album: 21st Century Breakdown, which was released on May 15, 2009.

Green Day has been successful at the MTV Video Music Awards, receiving nine nominations for "Baket Case", the second single from Dookie, and six awards for "Boulevard of Broken Dreams", the second single from American Idiot. The band has also received 4 Grammy Awards of 18 nominations at the American Music category. Finally, the band was nominated for 9 Billboard Music Awards in 2005, winning 6 of them, including "Rock Artist of the Year" and "Rock Song of the Year."

I like this group because they have a good sound and it is from my school years. When I listen to their music, I remember good moments with my classmates.

My favourite piece of technology: My cell phone

My favourite piece of technology is my cell phone Nokia 5530 Xpressmusic.
My cell phone was a Christmas present of my mom the last year. She bought my cell phone in a store of Falabella in the center of the city of Arica. The main use of my cell phone is reproducing music with good quality of sound. I listen to music on my phone when I travel to the University in transantiago, or when I go home. I use my cell phone to speak my parents and my friends. Other uses that I give are take photos, a voice recorder and see movies. As you can see, I use my cell phone to listen music frequently on my travels, because I do not like the environment bored and sad of the people on the buses.
I like my cell phone because it has many tools, in particular has Wi-Fi connection, which is very important to check email and search information in recess. Also for me a cell phone with Wi-Fi is much more comfortable than a computer, at the times of emergency.
My life without my cell phone would be boring, especially in the travel of transantiago, and also sad, because I could not communicate with my family.

Crêpes

My favorite food is Crepes in the breakfast. The Crepes (crêpe in France)
The crepes are recipe made primarily of wheat flour, with which it produces a disc-shaped mass. Usually used as the basis for a dish or dessert applying all kinds of sweet or savory ingredients
The crepes are from the region of Brittany, in France, where are called krampouezh in the Candelaria festive season.
In the central Europe, the creper are called palačinka (Czech Republic, Slovenia, Croatia), palatschinken (Austria) or palacsinta (Hungary). In these countries the flour was brought from china.
The ingredients are;
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs
½ cup milk
½ cup water
¼ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter, melted
Preparation: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and the eggs. Gradually add in the milk and water, stirring to combine. Add the salt and butter; beat until smooth. After, cook in frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto frying pan, using approximately 1/4 cup for each crepe. Tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface evenly. Finally, cook the crepe for 2 minutes, until the bottom light brown. Loosen with a spatula, turn and cook the other side. I recommend serve hot and add jam or sweet.
I like crepes, because they are delicious at breakfast, especially if they have jam.
