Rights and wrongs of an English exam

Yesterday I went to visit my hairdresser and his halitosis. I tried not to speak (and all of you know know how much effort I have to make to remain silent) but he was especially talkative and, accordingly, disgusting. Fortunately I don't have too much hair and the nightmare finished soon. Every cloud has a silver lining. When I had my hair cut and my nostrils about to bleed, I came back home and had my brunch: a precooked serving of macaroni. I was reading the newspaper and, finally, I left home and I went to the Starbucks to my daily ration of English study. Two hours later, however, I felt an emptiness in my stomach... The brunch hadn't been enough and I decided to eat one more time. I gave into temptation and I went to Wok to Walk, a funny spot at San Vicente Street where I ordered white rice with chicken breast and teriyaki sauce. It was absolutely delicious and the pain of having eated twice vanished all among the pleasure. Then I came back to my private library (I mean Starbucks) and I was reading George R. R. Martin's Game of Thrones for about two hours. At 4.30 pm I headed to the subway and traveled towards Torrent, where I had an English exam (not THE English exam, which is to be in June, but an ordinary English exam). I have to say that I'm very lucky to have a conversation partner like Marina. I like her very much. I like her kindness and sweetness and her way of saying "¡Nein!" when a simple "¡No!" seems too little emphatic to her. She also laughs a lot but not indiscriminately, as so many people do. She always looks for a reason before laughing. We did a spectacular speaking exam togheter. She talked about the TV, I talked about technologies and then we had a ten-minutes discussion on where to send our fictional parents on their Anniversary Trip. She was terrific and I was terrific too, why should I say otherwise? At the writing part of the exam we had to make a drafting about the new communication tools, Internet and social network. I took a photo specially to copy the text here. And here it is:

History means changes. All societies have faced a lot of changes and have evolved because of them. People are often reluctant to these changes and it took them loads of years to adapt and accept them. Now we live in the communication age and, in my opinion, we all have taken advantage of it. This world has become smaller and the distance between people and between countries [I think I made a mistake here: I must have written "among people and countries"] is getting shorter and shorter as time goes by. There are bad things, I'm sure of that, but the more we can improve our communication tools the more they will help us to make a difference and turn our planet into a better and fairer place for everybody. In spite of this, people must know that to be in contact with the culture doesn't mean to get culturalized [This is a verb I invented in the exam to make the pun. The proper verb should've been "enlighten" or "educate"]. We also need to know how to use culture properly in order to be happy... And this should be our main target in years to come.

Having finished the exam, Marina, Luis, Hector "the other" and me had a very interesting conversation about books and Portland's nights. Next Monday we'll have a farewell dinner hopefully full of good news for everyone.
