Tuesday: text structure Many literature enthusiasts are familiar with Pablo Neruda, the poet. However, not too
many people are aware that he was also a diplomat and politician. He was born in
1904 as Ricardo Eliecer Neftali Reyes Basoalto and used a pseudonym, Pablo Neruda,
which later became his legal name. Neruda's more popular works are about love and
romance, especially during his younger years. Then, he shifted his writing to more political
work, such as letters to support activists. After that, he began writing poetry on everyday
things, objects, and experiences. When his health started to fail, he wrote about death.
Many of his last poems were published after he died. He has remained one of the most
popular Chilean poets of all time.

as we know, the english language is spoken all over the world by native and non-native speakers and has become the most certain tool when it comes to communicating. businesses, schools, even romantic relationships depend on it to keep thriving. in addition, it is the language of the internet not only because most of the content available is in english, but also because people prefer to use it when talking to others, since it's the language everyone supposedly learns.

yet, there have been some current claims that chinese will soon take over as the most important language in the world. china's magnitude has never been more evident and doing business with the chinese is a gold mine for any country. we now see language schools offering chinese courses as commonly as english.

however - even though we cannot deny china's importance and the advantage it is when someone takes the time to learn the language their business contact speaks-, people in general seem to be ignoring the aspects that seem to keep english as the chosen one of languages. one of them has been mentioned above: it is the language of the internet. also, chinese people are still learning english, since it opens doors in communicating with practically everyone else, from every single country.

face white and pale

lips blue and stale

she is gone

sadness fills her body

she collapses to her knees
