Post 4: A meal or food I really like

My favorite dish has always been Pasta with Bolognese sauce, which is basically spaghetti with a thick, brownish-red sauce.

You must prepare spaghetti according to package instructions, and the Bolognese sauce is made with as many ingredients as you like, ground beef, tomatoes, onion, celery, carrot, and others. I've always liked pasta in different ways, lasagna, with Alfredo sauce or with mushrooms. But I think that the reason why I like it so much is because it reminds me of my childhood, when I came home after school and I was excited because my mother had prepared my favorite food, I hope one day I could prepare it as well as she does.

After a research, I found out that even though pasta is generally healthy, this dish it doesn't have a good impact in my health as I thought. This is because when you combine tomatoes with meat, the nutritional benefits of the tomatoes are largely removed. So, I guess sometimes it is better to eat them separately to have a balanced diet.

Post 3: My favorite piece of technology

If I think about technology devices, the truth is that nowadays is difficult to choose only one, we are basically living in this technological age. I remember when I was a child there weren't many of the devices that are used daily today. 

After thinking a lot, I concluded that my favorite piece of technology is my smartphone, is the one that I use the most and it seems to me that it is the most useful. I got my first one when I was 11 years old, I remember it had few functions, just calling, messaging, and taking pictures. However today smartphones can also access webpages, download files and apps, create and play music playlists, record videos, watch movies, and a lot of more things. The one that I have now, I got it a year ago and I use it daily to check the university app, texting and calling with my friends, and on top of that I love taking pictures of landscapes and recording animals or insects, and then I can immediately share them with my friends, that's why smartphone is my favorite piece of technology, it has many functions included and I can do many things in a little while.

Life without this piece of technology would be so different, we couldn't call and messaging any time, we would have to get a computer if we want to text to someone. And specially in these times of pandemic, we would be even more isolated, without communicating continuously with our friends and distant relatives.
