The training for the exam

Well, in this class I have done different activities to practise my english for the exam.

There were four tematics to practice, the Reading, Listening, Vocabulary and Lenguaje.

For the first one, I didn't have problems because this is a usuall activity to do in the english classes. But, in the next, I could not done it because in the computers of the university I couldn't listen the audio, but I want to do it in my home.

The Vocabulary was very interesting and I think that i did it well, I just have wrong answers in some questions.

And, finally, in the Lenguaje, It's was very difficult because I had to write a letter but only with the correct words of the page and sometimes I didn't know whats word are in there. Normally I don't have problems because I can write the ideas and the words that I know.

A Blue Gift

We have many gifts that we like in our like, specially, when we are young, because we received a lot of toys and valuable things. But, one of my favorite presents it’s a t-shirt. It’s not a common t-shirt; it is white and it has tree blue lines in the sleeveds and a blue collar with a red edge. Yes, it’s Adidas, and it’s a sport clothe. The most important part it’s the chest with a big red “U” in the left and a owl in the right. The officially second t-shirt of the football team, Universidad de Chile.  

The important of this is who gave it to me, my girlfriend Claudia for my birthday.  This gift has a detail too, the gift-paper, because it was blue with a red rose, the detail of a lady. I think that always I “dreamed” that a girlfriend gave to me a t-shirt of my team of football, this are very expensive. All of my life I am a fan of Universidad de Chile, and I have only a few of t-shirts of this club.

I don’t like the false t-shirts in the football, and Claudia understood this very well. After this, I almost always goes with this t-shirt to the stadium, and obviously, with her. 

My second First Time

I have two first time in the universities. The first was in Adolfo Ibañez in 2009, because I begin studing Bussines and Administration, but I didn't like the university in the high lands of Santiago. I hate the people of this, sons of his rich daddys.

In the next year, I entered to Journalism in Universidad de Chile, yes it's very different but not much also, because I didn't have science. I remember this year like one of my best years of my life, and the beginning was the best.

With my classmates we joined before the academic year in the same university. For the great Earthquake of 2010 in this year we started classes later than usuall. We bought too many alcoholic drinks and we met in the grass of the university. We were almost the complete course and we had a very good time.

This meeting was a week before than we started oficially the university and obviously it's makes more easy to beginning a new year because the majority of the course had met each other.

I remember that I spoke with Ester, Felipe, Nicolas, Daniela, Eva, and more classmates. I think that we always remember this meeting, althought some people were drunk. jaja.

The real first day of the university ? That's boring and usuall comparate with this.-.

Country and Chile

This Fiestas Patrias was very different to my other's Fiestas Patrias. I always have this celebrities in my home or in somewhere of Santiago. But, In this time I gone to Talca, in the south of Chile.

This idea was born because, for my job (cover the football match between Universidad de Chile vs Rangers) I have to go to this city, and my girlfriend have family in the nearly in the country. I goes with cousins of my girlfriend because she gone to Buenos Aires, Argentina, and she arrived the next day.

It's was my first time in the country of my girlfriend, and it's was very good. The family was very nice and we prepared the fonda next to the house.

I ate very much, and obviously I drinked, but with tranquility. In this country I discover the affection of the people of the country, always they wanna that I drink and eat more and more, jeje.

I have been five days in the country, I remember two nights that we dancing different music like cumbias, rancheras and reggaeton. In another, we played football, fly a kite, and played typical games like races of sacks, gymkhana. ¡I won a competion of this!The other thing that I done is ride a horse, it's was my first time.

I enjoyed very much this Fiestas Patrias because I have a different landscape, and different culture. I think that i discover another Chile, the real and the typical Chile of the country, because the life in the city it's very different and difficult. 

Friends!

I think that it`s a little gay talk about a friend, specially that he is a man. It`s weird but also interesting to remember.

I would like to present two very good friends. The first is Manuel Castillo, called "Manacho", he always have different and funny things to do. Fisically, he is very small, like 1.66 meters, he are a very style man with a special personality .

I don't remember exactly the form that we have converted in friends, but we met for the age 2004 in the neighbor of La Florida. The music and the movies was a good form to talk more and we started to be very good friends. We like very much the films of Tarantino, Inglourious Bastards, Pulp Fiction, etc, the films of Kubric, Woody Allen, etc. In the music we have in common bands like The Libertines, Turf, Oasis, in many other bands.

Around the year 2007, he invited me to the south of Chile, to his house of grandfathers nearly to Valdivia. This trip was the first trip to the south and to the lakes. We have many memories that we remember and laugh sometimes.

The second is Jose Manuel Farias, called "Pepe". I met this guy since we are children, we lived in La Florida in the same street. With Pepe, we have many stories but we are great friends. It's weird but we don't have many things in commom but we have a very good feeling, we respect the other and have many things to laugh.

I always remember when I was very sad for a difficult decision in my life and he don`t have problems to talk with me in the night. With the time we have feeling more thing in common, like the music and other things.

I saw my friends minimum once a week. Often we have parties in the weekends,

Pepe, Me and Manuel

Santiago rides

Santiago is a big city in Chile. Some much people talk about this city like "Chile", "Santiago is Chile" because in this city live's the most people of the country.

We have poverty and richness but, I don't wanna talk about this. We have to see the beautiful things of this city. If you have a bike, you love the cicle paths, specially in Providencia. We have so many of these in many streets.

You have liberty, you don't have to wait a bus or a taxi. The transport in Santiago it's very expensive, it's one of the most expensive of Latin American.

I dislike Santiago in this themes, because we don't have cicle paths in all the communes, it's like a privilege for the more richness people. We have to think that the majority of the people don't have so many money to pay the buses, but we don't have another alternative.

Slowly the city is thinking more about this alternative, we don't contaminate, we do exercise, it's a cheap and fast vehicle to use to our works, study or anything.

I recomend to you this page of facebook. "Furiosos Ciclistas" https://www.facebook.com/furiososciclistas

And this video of this group of more of 9 thousand people. http://www.3tv.cl/index.php?m=video&v=25644

Nice Bikes ah! http://www.3tv.cl/index.php?m=video&v=21681

English blog

I never had a blog in English but I always thought about it to practice this lenguage. In this blog I wrote about many things related with me and my preferences. I enjoyed this activity but I hate it also because not always we are inpired to write. 

(Hello Henry :) )

It's a good activity but also it's difficult. I usually had to use the dictionary and ask for sentences in Spanish expressed in English. My favourite subjects in my blog are the sports and my work to La Magia Azul. It's a important subject for me because it's the work that a like to do in the journalism.But, not always I posted about the sports, I have do it in objetcts like my cellphone, the parties in the ICEI, photographies, and other posts.

I think that for this activity I improve my English in a entertaining way. Almost the classes of English are so boring with typical activities in a book, but this is more interactive to learn English.  This is a clear adventage of this methodology. It's so much better learn English practice it like in the real life than a teacher with his book. We can have more activities related with our degree. For example, like a student of journalism, we can have a program of radio in English, a paper or a program of tv.
