A good Photo...

This photo was taken in Huasco, specificaly in the entry of the iron plant. It Represents all the pollution that there are in Huasco specially by the iron dust. This is the reason why I like it. I don't rembember who took it, I think that was Mauricio who took it. It was a protest because the people of the plant didn't leave us to enter there.

Field Trip

On October, I went out to Huasco. It's located in 3rd Region of Atacama, near the coast. It was for a Geographic Problems of Chile class. I went out to Huasco with my classmates, my teacher Enrique Aliste, and her helper Joselyn. We were in Huasco about 3 or 4 days... We were to Huasco because we have to make a territorial diagnosis about Huasco and identify social and environmental problems. The field trip was very funny and interesting because to go to Huasco we must use a bike, and the road was very difficult because it had very raises and descents. Also we must to make interviews to the people of Huasco. The town was contaminated by an iron plant and a thermoelectrical plant, they liberate iron dust and fall down to the town. It was an unlike thing. Also I hate to make interviews, because is so boring and the people don't stop to talk you. I liked the landscape, the mix between the desert and the sea and the river. One thing very funny was the documental film realized by me, Pedro, Felipe, Jaime and Mauricio, with the support by BBC. You can watch the documental by Felipe's Facebook.

Australia!!!!

I would like to visit Australia, because I think that is a modern country; with a good weather (specially in summer), and it have beautiful landscapes and places to visit, for example: its beaches, the city of Sydney, the Ayers rock, the Great Barrier Reef, etc. Australia is a multiracial and cosmopolitan country, they are reasons to know a new culture, integrated in only a country. I would like to visit it alone, because always I do my travels alone; I like enjoying my things alone, I don’t like to worry for other people. Maybe, I would like to travel with my sister. I would do there a lot of things; specially travel around the country, though it would be a bit expensive. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to live and study there some years. Australia is a big and multicultural country with beautiful places to visit.

A letter for my Trainee Teacher.

This is a letter to my Trainee Teacher... her name is Natalia. I want to know her because the only contact between us is by the blogging. I want to learn English very well and I need to know who is correcting me. I know that you are studying English in Alberto Hurtado University, because Simon told us that is your teacher, but I want to know you, for example... how old are you?, Where do you live?, What are your hobbies?, in synthesis, tell me about yourself. I think that the blogging experience or the correction activity is a good way to approach our English talking and is a good way to know us and to share experiences too...

I will waiting your answer in my blog

good bye!

my favourite piece of technology... My Mp3 Player!

My favourite piece of technology is my Mp3 player. It's a Philips GoGear. I got it 1 year and a half ago, I was joining money to buy it because the previous one didn't work. I use it like a Pen-Drive, I plug it in the PC and I keep my favourite music and I listen it in the bus. I use it everyday because the music is a good mate in the bus, because without music I go boring in the bus. Also it have radio, and I use it when there are a match of Colo-Colo, because I don't have TV cable to watch the matches. I like it because it have a sober design, because it have a rechargeable internal battery, and the music is listened clearly. My life without my Mp3 player would be terrible because I couldn't listen to my music in the bus, my travel would be boring and I would have to listen to reggaeton of "flaites" mobile phones... booooo!!!!!

A good film... "Sin City"

A film that I like is “Sin City”. I watched it in 2006, it was a rainy day and I went out to the cinema with my sister, because I had free tickets. The story is based in the comic “Sin City: That Yellow Bastard / The Big Fat Kill / The Hard Goodbye” by Frank Miller. Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller and the special guest director Quentin Tarantino directed it. The story is divided in four parts; the first is about on a hulking man who embarks on a brutal rampage in search of his one-time lover's killer. The second part is about on a street war held between a group of prostitutes and a series of mercenaries. The third part is about of an aging police officer that protects a young woman from a grotesquely disfigured serial killer. The last part is an epilogue of the story, but I don’t remember it. The film is like a comic with a lot of action and crime because is Sin City.

Fiestas Patrias... My favourite season (Correction)

I like this time. It’s my favourite month, season, etc. Fiestas Patrias means a lot of things for me; happiness, party, share, etc. It’s the anniversary of the first national government council, but it’s an excuse to celebrate the first step for a repulican life. We have two holidays, the 18th and 19th September. These days we do a lot of things, we play typical games like: flying a kite, rayuela, and climbing a greased pole, etc. Also, we eat typical meals, like barbecue and empanadas. And we drink a lot of things, but the most typical drinks are chicha and red wine, but if you want to do all these things, you must go out to “fondas” in O’Higgins Park. When I was a child, I lived with my uncles, aunts, and my grandparents in a big house, and we eat a big barbecue for all the family. Nowadays, we still meet, to eat a big barbecue. This year maybe we will meet in my house. My favourite 18th was the last 18th, because I went out to Curacavi with my family, and we ate and drank a lot of things. Also, I went out to my grandparent’s house and we ate a big barbecue… but before of these dates I was celebrating Fiestas Patrias in the “Fonda FAU”, where I danced and drank too much…
