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…

My near future...

In five years later, I hope working out of Santiago, like a geographer, of course, but crossing Chile. Also, I hope to study a Post-Grade course out of Chile, specially in Australia, because it looks like to me a beautiful and developed country. I would like to have a lot of money to travel around the World and to know a lot of countries. Also, I would like to have a rock band and playing the drums. Maybe, I would like to study another thing that isn’t related with Geography, like Music or Acting. A girlfriend? Yeah!, why not?, always I’m available… hahahaha.
I wouldn’t like to live in Maipú, because it’s so far of the Centre of Santiago, I would like to live in Ñuñoa, or Providencia, because they are very quiet places to live in.

Well, this is my ideal future, there are a lot of things to do…

My English Experience.

I started to learn English when I was in 5th Grade, in the school. At start, it was a little difficult because I never have learned English in my life. My first teacher was Veronica Fuentes. She was very strict, but, she was a good teacher because she was my only teacher in all the time that I was in the school. I liked learn another language, over all English, because, is the universal language and is useful for our professional live, and to travel to a foreigner country and to can communicate with other people. I had only good marks in English, always, because it was very easy learn English for me. To learn English I find easy, write, and grammatical forms, but I find difficult the pronunciation, but it is only practice, and to speak like an idiot… (It’s a joke). I feel that the English culture is punching us strongly, in music, arts, ways of life, etc. I know a few people English speaking, Chilean and foreign people, starting by a school classmate, that she went to England to study, and people that I knew in the University, like Simon Higginson (my English teacher) and exchange classmates.

New Semester, English IV: Myself...

As you know, I'm Eduardo Muñoz... ("Frodo", for my friends). A new semester starts, and I should to talk about myself... I was born in San Miguel in 1986 (I'm 21 years old), I Have 1 sister, she is older than me (one year). She is an arts teacher. My father, is a furniture maker and my mother is a housewife. I went out to live to Maipu in 1995 and I went out the school in 2004. I'm studying Geography in the University of Chile. I have a good relationship with my classmates. Always, we have time to do a lot of things like play football, go for a drink at the "pircas", etc. I'm not a lazy student, if you think that... but I have good marks, especially in English... hahahaha; although I like the Physical Geography, and I don't would like to work in an office, it's so boring. I don't have a lot of hobbies, but I like sleep, playing football, listen to the music, and watch TV.

It's a short introduction, but, it doesn't matter...

My Blogging Experience...by Frodo

I didn’t have a blog before this class; I didn’t think to have one, and less in English. For it, I liked to have a blog because I could write that I think about the tasks that the teacher gave us, and to upload photos of the things that I like.

Really, I didn’t like to write in English, obviously is easier for me write in Spanish, but it was a good way to learn English, because you can correct your mistakes and the classmates’ mistakes.

The blogging teaches me to write much better in English, and it helps you to understand and think in English. Also, you can “talk” to your classmates with the comments of the posts.

I have two favorite posts: “One on One With…” and “My Favorite Song (In This Moment)” because they are related with my favorite music, because they are awesome musicians and I wrote these posts with spirit.

My least favorite post was “My opinion about BBC Learning English” because it had a lot of things to watch and it tires me, almost in this moment I was very bored and I had a headache because it was a f*ck*ng day.

In my opinion the best blog of the class (after mine) is the David’s (Jesus Christ) blog because he is very creative to approach the topics and he has a good Spanish vocabulary and he translates it very good. Almost always he talks about music, literature, movies. He knows very much. But, I always say him… his blog has very bad colors; it seems like a “chuncho” blog… ha ha ha ha…

This was my blogging experience… now I will speak in Spanish… good bye!
