Happy Christmas
Don't forget to post your holiday news onto the blog. What are your plans for the rest of this month and January? I am going to Zimbabwe tomorrow and will be in Harare until New Year. After that I am going to my house in Chimanimani, near to Mozambique. I can see Mount Binga from my veranda. And we are going to climb up there and spend a few days walking, climbing, sleeping in caves and swimming in the very cold rivers. I will take some photos to show you when I come back. What about you?

HOW WAS YOUR TEST?
Hi everybody!
Hope you all well.
How did you find the exam yesterday?
For me it was very difficult. I don’t know if it was really difficult or I didn’t study enough. I lost many lessons. The last trimester of the year is always terrible for me because I have too much work and exams at university. However I hope pass to the next block and I'm going to do my best.
What about you?

Having your own Business
Having your own Business, is very good in our opinion, because many people think that, when you are have your own Business it is everything in life and you just open and next day your are a rich man which is not always true there are both pros and cons.
In doing your own Business, you are able to administer your company directly to make a profit immediately. However you are also under pressure, you must always know or study every time the market where you develop your Business, because it is really important to choose the best price to catch or to have many customers to grow your Business. On the other hand, you can spend a lot of money on it and if you haven’t customers to make it grow you can lose it, and also you are limited and controlled by your Business, you have little time to stay home with your family.
In conclusion, it is good to have your own Business, because you employ many other people to work with you and reduce poverty in their lives, you can be rich, meet many Business men in other Countries but it is better to be careful to have success.

HAVING A CELL PHONE
Some people think that having a cell phone is the most useful and the best thing in our life. But it has advantages and disadvantages.
One advantage is it easy to comunicate with people who don´t have a fixed telephone line and people who are far from the city on the country. Sometimes when we don´t have credit we can send a text message.
However if you have a cell phone, you spend a lot of money, and you have to be careful of thieves.
In conclusion having a cell phone is not luxury but is a necessity. We need to have it to comunicate, especially in a country like Mozambique, because the people don´t have the fixed telephone.

THE PROS AND CONS OF SHARING A FLAT
Some young people say sharing a flat is the best way to save money and at the same time, be independent. However, sharing a flat has both a good side and a bad side.
On the good side, when you share a flat you also share the bills. For instance, you don´t pay the full amount for water, eletricity, the caretaker and the rent. On top of that, you have your own independence; You can do whatever you want at any time without having to get permission from your parents.
One disadvantage is sometimes you share a flat with people who have different behavior, one can be tidy and the other untidy, and this is bad for the one who is tidy.
Another point is, you never have full privacy, sometimes your room mate can invite people that you dont know, and becouse of that, you can´t go around the house the way you want.
Last of all, you can have a personality clashes with your flat mate.
To sum up, although some young people say sharing a flat is the best way to save money, we think that if you want to share a flat, first of all, you have to know your flat mate very well.

Being beautiful
Many people say being beautiful is good but there are advantages and disadvantages. Sometimes it is good but also not good.
Most people say that it is good because you can have a lot of friends also, everybody likes you so you can be invited to do some advertising for some products so you can get a lot of money. In addition, being beautiful you can have many opportunities to choose your partner. On top of that you can enter beauty competitions to became Miss World or a model.
You don't know who your friend really. They can be with you to be seen with you, not because they like you. Futhermore you must spend time and money doing sports to keep fit also spend a lot of money on beautiful clothes, shoes......
In conclusion, some people see beauty people who can make a lot of money and can choose what they want to do. In our opinion we don't see any problem being beautiful but he must be simple and modest.

The Pros and Cons of Having a Pet
I have a cat and a dog and I love them both very much. Sometimes however, I have to admit my life would be easier without them.
I live in a flat on the fourth floor. This is no problem for my cat. He can go in and out of the window, down the stairs or up onto the roof, wherever he likes. But my dog needs to be taken out early in the morning to pee, and later on in the day he needs to go for a proper walk of at least an hour. This, of course, is good for me too, we both need the exercise but sometimes I feel lazy and wish my dog wasn't so bouncy and energetic. These days though, with the weather so hot, he also likes to lie about doing nothing, like me.
The main problem with having animals is when you want to go away and you need to find someone reliable to look after them. This is not always easy and often you end up having to stay at home instead. I once had a terrible experience with someone who promised to come and feed my cat every day and then just forgot all about it. When I came back two weeks later my cat had disappeared - gone off in search of food. I was so upset. Amazingly however he did come back three months later. Needless to say that person and I are no longer friends.
I can't think of any disadvantages to having pets if you live in a house with a garden - apart from the cost of their food. Dogs are good company and also provide security. Cats are fun, intelligent and also catch rats.
And even living, as I do, in a flat I would still prefer to have them despite the inconveniences. Animals, in my opinion, are far more loyal than human beings and life without them is somehow never the same.
