The last post!


Well, in a very short retrospective I think in this experience, in the end I have a good impression of this process, I love write about my ideas and my personal world (I’m a frustrated writer). These months were so productive and incredible; I met new people and excellent persons in my classmates…

The classes are great I enjoyed… But I had problems with the assistance of the classes due to more work in other areas of my life, especially the studies and job (I work in a Education Department of the Municipality of Santiago in a project), also I have problems of concentration (attentional deficit), that is not a fact for to fail to classes, but I have a lot of things to make in few time. In many times I got bored… in that moments my mind left this planet… I learned so much and enjoy the activities in the class.

Thinking in the input of the blogger experience I have many ideas for example: when you write in English you think in English, you use new words and learn the grammar of this language, read the post of the other classmates and you know them better (their experiences, ideas, dreams, and life in general)… this exercise is a productive form to learn English and understand the way of the grammar.

Now, this experience helps me to learn and improve my English, especially my use of vocabulary and grammar… my vocabulary is poor and limited, but I learn so much words and idioms.

Well, I say goodbye for everyone and wish a great year and end of semester!!!

In other World... without World Cup fever


This week we must talk about what everyone is talking and says... The football World Cup and the matches played multiple daily...

I personally do not like football... in fact to be in the field (in a little community called Lasana in the Region of Atacama), I stayed away from the environment in general... so I don’t saw the first matches, and the few that could see I saw them with my classmates in the field (in home of the person who gave us accommodation at the time).
Well, so do not know much about football, or results or of games won or lost ... but it is interesting to see how people are involved in “mundialera fever”, as the pace of things is suspended while playing Chile. The people are happy, many feel like children again. Their world revolves around the games, results, biographies of the players, they eat and how their future rivals in Chile.
However, although the people watching the football World Cup in Chile are attentive to what is happening in South Africa is also a phenomenon that involves expectations and weave as the projections, we define ourselves as a country. a win means a national celebration in which all Chileans are somehow alike, beyond the common distinctions. Although I do not like football, but it's nice to see the country happy.
Beyond speculation, the triumphs of the Chilean team will serve the country to raise the morale, to revive the smiles ... well, do the media emphasis on people who have suffered in the earthquake, and how these events will generate a small hope. I think that's important, makes the difference.

well, that's it for this week ... hopefully they will pass the World Cup fever

trip or not trip...



Well, this week talk about my favorite trip ... but to be honest I do not usually travel, for lack of money, time and motivation… but hey, I write about my favorite trip ... I think perhaps I will write about the trip during which I was very happy ... was not a great place, not too far ... but I went with my family and had a great time…

The trip was a couple of years ago... travel north without a definite destination ...but ended up at a secluded beach near a national park called "Pan de Azucar". On that occasion I went with my mom, my dad, my little sister and my favorite dog - Jim -... my dad drove ... in the way we hear good music, talk, and everyone seemed happy ... I think that for me was something special, never in the house there is an atmosphere of tranquility, but this time yes.

I remember there were like seven days, we woke early to walk along the beach, and after lunch, we swam with my sister until the sun was hiding.

The last days of the trip we sunstroked ... and our skin was red and hurt us even when we put on clothes... we brought back many shells and rocks... also many photos…all enjoyed the beach, sun and leisure ... my mom and my dad took advantage of having a time for them, leaving us to play on the beach ... Well, that was the story of my favorite travel ... I hope to go again and see the changes that have taken place…

Greentings!

B.!
