second semester 2010!

During this semester we wrote on this blog for our English class, we wrote about a lot of topics and now I’m going to talk about our experience writting. I really didn’t enjoy it because I don’t like to write a lot, I prefer to read. I am not used to write so it is difficult to me because you must have imagination and I am not a creative person. I think that it helped me to improve my english but not in an important way because I wrote a lot in the school so I used all the things that I learned there. Maybe it helps me to remember and practice, but not to learn new things. Besides this, the blogging have advantages and disadvantages. Among the advantages we have that the people of other parts of the world can read what you write and comment about a topic. Another advantage is that you can read about differents topics, and in our case we can read differents views of one topic because all the people of the class wrote about one subjet. On the side of the disadvantages you lose some of your privacy because all the world can read about you or what you think, also they can get personal information from you or your friends. Besides, some topics could get anger some people because they don’t like what you said, there are people that not use the argumentation and only fight. Concluding I think that blogs are a good way to put on the world your ideas because a lot of people read it, but you have to be careful of bad people. The blog is an opportunity for discussion but with real arguments, not only because you don’t like what I write.

Cheer up!

The last Friday started the World Cup. I like the World Cup because it is a great time to see matches of soccer with your friends or your family and celebrate doing a tasty food. So the World Cup is the perfect excuse to celebrate and do a party. Also I like the soccer because you want with all your heart that your team win, so you exited for it. Tomorrow plays Chile and I’m going to see the game with my friends, we are going to have a little party all the night and wait for the match of tomorrow. We are going to make a mexican night with tequila and tacos. The problem is that we have a short test tomorrow so we have to go to class without sleep, it would be a real challenge. I am expecting that Chile wins this game and at least the game with Switzerland, because I know that it’s very possible that we lost the game with Spain. I would like that Chile pass to the next round, that would be perfect because I think that Chile needs something that cheer up their spirit. I think that the people had passed for many problems this year and if Chile wins some games the people will have a hope to overcome their problems. I think that the World Cup it’s no so important because Chile has a lot of problems that are forgotten for this, but also I think that it is a very good way of relax yourself and have a good time with the people you care. Also how I said it is a opportunity to give a hope to the people and show them that if you want you can do better things.

I have fear!

This photograph was taken by my friend Coté. We were returning from a trip from Pichidangui in 2008, a nice beach near to Los Vilos. In that moment we were waiting in the car because my mom was shopping in the supermarket. The picture shows me and my friends, the girl next to me is Pamela and the other girl is Coté. The first is very clever and talks a lot and the second is very shy but at the same time very friendly. We were bored so started to take funny photographs. The camera had an option to take photographs at the night, its name is night shot, so we invented horror stories and took photographs of this. In this photograph I was the evil and my friends showed a scared face. I like this photograph because I remember when I was in the school and we made a lot of funny things and we didn’t have shame. I rememeber that in that travel we took a lot of photos in the beach and running or wallowing in the sand or riding horses. Besides we cut our hair and walk across the beach. My friend Coté broght to the trip a game that called “Cranium” that was about doing mimic, draw things, etc; it was very comic because all my family played and everyone did funny faces. Also we talk about many things and ate a lot of food. I missed my school friends, I miss see them every day and teel all my problems or even fight for some stupid thing. I would liked to have more time to visit them but I am sure that in holidays I could do that.

Norway!

My favorite trip was when I visit Norway in 2007. I traveled with a group of other chilean students and an adult. The objective of the travel was to know new people of another countries because it was like a “meeting” of different young people. There I meet persons from Slovakia, Brazil, Uruguay and of course Norway. I stayed there for 2 weeks and we visit a lot of places like a big group. We stayed in a big house and visit the mountains, where we learned to ski. Also we visited the capital city where we lost for a little while, in that opportunity we found another chilean people that live there. We visited a fairy tale museum and a museum of old houses. A good moment was when some friends swam in a frozen lake, I didn´t venture to do that, it was very cold! The most important part of the trip was that I not only knew Norway, I also meet persons of other parts of the world so this experience was very enriching. This people had realities very differents of my life, the brazilian people didn´t have the opportunity to get to the University; they were from the country in Brazil so they were very kind people. The people of Slovakia traveled every year to other parts of Europe for exchange so they knew a lot of different languages. The people of Norway was a little bit cold firt but then they were like a friend of all the life. The better part of my trip was to know this amazing people and give to them a part of my heart.
