Santiago after the Bicentenario weekend

After a dizzying welcome to the Bicentenario. The best place to rest and relax is my private retreat: that is my garden´s house.

In Spring this place becomes very quite and filled with light and color, the sun is nice and warm, the grass is soft and thick and various flowers begin to flourish.

I think it is especial because it’s beautiful and my friends really enjoy being there.

When I am with my friends we like to lay down on the grass, sometimes play cards or do some exercise. At night we light some candles and have a glass of good wine. After the celebrations we use the coal left over to prepare grilled meat. When I am alone this place is the best place to study, get a sun tan, play whit my pets or simply take a nap.

This year my garden was the perfect place to spend time with my best friend, she came to visit me from Antofagasta and we spend a lot of time catching up and laughing.

Every year, I fix my garden to receive the spring. I have done it for the past five years, because is a great location to do some nice get together.

I always recommend staying at home especially if you have a favorite corner, if you don’t have a place like that maybe go to a park, because the important thing is to relax, get in contact with nature and be calm and prepared to face the rest of the year with the best attitude.

The future of states universities in Chile

I have no clue about the privatization problem, from my point of view, as a student of Universidad de Chile, the future is unclear. I feel like I´m enrolled in a private institution rather than state university, because I pay for my education. The fee is very expensive, I can´t apply for student loans, because both of my parents work and they own their house.
If you ask me, there´s no free college education, it just doesn´t exist. Therefore I think privatization has been imposed in our state university system, but It`s hidden.
The state university system should be free for all people. The solution is joining forces to fight, but a radical and intelligent fight. This objective should unite different ways of thinking and allow us to act quickly before this problem gets worst
Definitely, I think this government will privatize the Universidad de Chile, because our president is a big businessman, his interest is the economy and get along with other entrepreneurs. Everything is for sale… That´s scary!!!
The only thing that can save us, would be if the president made a promise to keep universities from being privatized the same way it occurred with Punta de Choros.

A country you´d like to visit

My dream would be to visit Europe especially Spain.
I think it´s a fascinating place, because It lives around the culture and the arts. I´d like to live there for some years, especially for three reasons. The first, to study something related to acting, secondly, to know the country and the entire European continent and finally, the most important reason is to know a little town called Llagostera (this is my last name). My father went there ten years ago. He told me that it’s a beautiful and traditional place, but the people were not friendly, because there is a legend about a treasure. Llagostera people believe that visitors go there to take away their treasure.
My mother is my best travel companion, she likes to visit different places and of course shopping (who doesn´t?) She is always ready to travel, so if I ever get to visit Spain, I ´d like to go with her. But let´s go back to reality now, going to Spain it´s not my priority right now, I´m not even saving money only to pay my bills.

The First Term , 2010.

Hello:
Dear new friends. This is the new opportunity to learn about you. However I tell you about me especially the first term.

To begin I`ll tell you I`m studying Archaeology and this is my fourth year.
The first term, was something complicated, because I had a lot subjects and my free time was little.

It was very boring and very stressful, especially for the subject called archaeological theory IV, the teacher was not clear to teach.

All this time was difficult, because I had to work for twenty days and this means to do all quickly. When I turned, I was backward in all subjects. It was awful.

experience under pressure

Finally, we have reached to the end. Many weeks I wrote about me, but this is not enjoy for me, because I felt very down or press to tell about my life.

However, there were some moments interesting because I can know a other peoples telling about your life.

This mechanism of communication, I think what is very important to exercise the vocabulary, grammar and to help improve your English.

My opinion about of the disadvantages is not important, but I think the advantages are good because. First, You can know the English level of other peoples, second you can read a your classmate, third you never is alone because the teacher is very good and he helps (today he don’t help me), fourth you learn to think in English, fifth and finally your learn and you don’t realize.

The best place to go on winter holidays.

The best place to go on winter is any city in the North of my country. In general I go to Antofagasta. This place is very nice.

You can get there by plane or on a road trip. If you take the plane it arrives in two hours, but if you like to know the way, you should take a bus or car. The trip has a duration of around 18 hours. This is a little tiring, but you can see how the landscape changes from deep green to a beautiful brown which contrasts with the ocean.

Antofagasta is very quiet, in the day you can go shopping and to the beach, but at night the city changes. The people walk near the beach and take a bath in the ocean, they go to the discotheques, bars and the night clubs come alive. There is happiness in the environment.

Today, the election of the Antofagastinos is to go to the Casino. This place opened almost one year ago. The Casino is large and funny. There are one discotheque, some bars, one theater and slot machines. If you have money, time and you know how to play in the machines, you could have a good time.

Antofagasta has beautiful beaches, especially northwards. These are Juan Lopez, Hornitos, Punta Chacaya and Punta Itata. The most famous is La Portada.

Actually, La Portada is the symbol of the city. It is an antique geological formation like a window or a framework, It is very interesting and beautiful.

The food is excellent. You can enjoy the best variety of seafood and delicious drinks, because the hotels and restaurants have the best menu cards.

Finally, the most important of the city: My family lives in this place.

If you want know Antofagasta, you can get to my house. No Problem.
We will be very happy to meet you.

Cloudy Partly

It’s a beauty film to children and adults. Its name is “Cloudy Partly ”.
This film is cartoons of PIXAR, This short film participated in the Oscar, its duration is some minutes , possible 10 minutes.
This film is developed in the sky .where all the clouds are, every one made different babies.
Its main characters are a cloud and a stork. They have a relationship because the cloud made the babies and the stork delivered the babies to their parents. However, the babies were not common, because they were dangerous puppies. For example , crocodile, ram, shark and others.
The faithful stork always was hurt for the puppies. Once day, the stork went to other cloud. The cloud got angry very much with this action, he cried. Soon the stork went back and solved the problem.
I will not tell you about how the stork solved this problem, because it is very important that you can see this film. This is an example of life and friendship. It is very tender; you could learn a good lesson.
You can see how, sometimes, people or some friends have good intentions wihit you, but you do not believe.
With this film, if you need tell to someone “ stand by me” ….“ trust me”. This short is the better message for tell I send for e-mail this short film to my niece Katalina. She is six years old and she may did not get the message, but she liked the stork because it is funny .
