my english class

Hello everybody, I'm here for the last time and today I will tell you how was the english course and also I will tell you my experience with the blog.

Never in my life I have had a blog, in fact, I don't know make a blog. So, this was my first experience with this network. My partners, that were in English III, said: the blog is boring and spend our time. But for me, the blog was a good experience, because learned to write in a short time and now, my vocabulary is better. in my opinion the blog is a good idea for the people that don't express in english and for me, was not boring because it make in the class, sometimes the topics was a little boring but not much like for not make it.

I really enjoyed learning how to use a blog. At first, I didn’t understand anything, but now I can upload photos, change the font color and many more applications. It's more fun to interact through language by this medium rather than to be in a class room. In fact, the class period passes by more quickly to me and this means I'm learning in a more enjoyable and interactive way.

I like to write in my blog because I can practice better my English writing and vocabulary. I think I have learned to describe things in a better way. However, much remains to be improved. I hope someday, I would be able to express myself in English. Would be a great feeling, because of this, I didn’t like to write in my blog because the difficulty of writing in a foreign language. Writing is also complicated because English, in comparation to Spanish, is very different.
I hope that this experience would help me to improve my writing skills, so that I can express myself in english. Finally, I hope to have a good grade because it hasn’t been easy!

bye, bye !!

My dear Isabella

Hello, here I am with my cousin Isabella.
This picture was taken for my brother in the airport of santiago in Chile, when my uncle George with his family returned to Australia.
My uncle arrive to Sidney, Australia in 1985 although he born in Chile. Also, my grandparents lives in Sidney since 1989.  I was born in 1987 then  i don't  knew my uncle but in 1996 he come to Chile and I knew him.
He married in Sidney with Anne (my blond uncle ajhajh) and she had two blond childrens: Matthew and Jess but when married with my uncle was born Isabella.
I knew Isabella this year in march when they came to Chile. Isabella is more little than me, she's 8 years old but she is very friendly and funny. She speak english but she understands everything you say. it's so fun because one day I said ugly monkey in spanish and she understand me.

Now, I miss her so much...

the Swiss Source

Hello everybody, today I tell you about a place for eat.

The Swiss Source is a restaurant kind 'fuente de soda'. It's in Irarrazaval st. in a corner, between Macul avenue and the Ñuñoa Plaza. Is a little restaurant, before two years ago it was really small, although now it's a bit more big as remains little.

Here the Empanadas are frites but are so good, especially pino's empanada. Also, there is chesse, shrimp chesse and ostion chesse empanadas. but the best of restaurant are the sandwiches. My favorites are Churrasco italiano with chili and Fricandela italiana with chili. The Fricandela is like a hamburger but it's prepared in the moment and is a more bigger and very delicious.

I remember this place because my dad it knows for years and the last fridays of each month we going to the restaurant. I like this place and is a especially place for show it.

So, when you will pass for irarrazaval  remember this place and you say: I want a churraco italia with chili and one beer.

bye, bye

in JGM

Hello everybody !

Today, I'm going to talk about my faculty and his people. My career is in the faculty of arts with visual arts, in Macul and his name is Juan Gomes Millas. I believe that name is for a teacher of the university, I really don't know...

In my career the people is very relax but in visual arts the people is very, very relax and we have many problems for differents ideas and we have different forms of understand the life. The guys of theory of arts are very critic and we thinking that they are passionate and very romantics. For that we call The Macacos, because in a strike they decided take the faculty and they going crazy. They are very strangers in their thinking and style. Sometimes, we thinking that they are dress up (jajajaa) and we call them Homeless style, because they have a strange style, they put a clothes that looks dirty and torn.

You can see people in the yard of university all day and we don't know that do, Always stay sitting on grass smoking and sometimes when there is sun they are drinkinkinf beer.

In generally, in my career the people is very boring and the stereotype are the teachers. We have a teacher that look corpse I think she are 90 years old, I don't know how do the classes.

well, for more information yo can go to the university of Chile, Faculty of arts in Las Encinas st.

my old notebook...

I have a notebook. I remember the day when I give me. It was in 2007 and my dad brought me back a souvenir from his trip to Australia : It was a blue Toshiba notebook. I really need it because my career demands much work in writing and my brother stay all the day in the pc playing online games. So, we quarrel for the computer.

For me, the notebook is very important because it's comfortable and much eassier to move it.  I used for my things of the university, I see my mails and to check my facebook.

But now my Notebook is older and the battery run out and in this moment just have 30 minutes. Also, I broke the number one and I can't used the key. Is terrible because in facebook or messenger I can't write the exclamation sign. So, anybody understand me when I´m angry or happy. other thing is the weigh and I can't got in my bag because is heavy. In fact, the las month I broke a bag with my notebook.

Well, I think I have to that other notebook but now I don´t money because it's very expensive... and I'll wait that my dad leave on trip again...

Das Leben der Anderen (The Lives of others)

Hello, today i'm going to talk about of  movie: The Lives of  Others. This movie is a German drama film. The Lives of Others won the 2007 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. It was produced in 2006 in Germany on 23 March. It was written and directed by Florian Henckel Von Donnersmarck.

The film happens in German Democratic Republic in 1984, when a secret agent of Stasi called Gerd Wiesler begins to watch a playwright called Dreyman who lives with his girlfriend Christa-Maria. In the house of Dreyman to place several microphones in all rooms. Dreyman is watch all the day because the Stasi believe that he is a person with anti-establishment ideas and that he maintain contact with the people of occidental Germany. 

the work of Weisler about Dreyman to make him the possibility of he knows other life. Weisler's life is very boring and lonely. So, Weisler start to live the Dreyman life, like realiy show. He is affected for the actions of the caracters and he thinks that can the actions of Dreyman's life.

Don't tell the end of the film but tell you that is a very dramatic film and nice history. When i seen this movie i thought that was  more the same but now i think that is the most beautiful movie in these last years.

In Buenos Aires

Hi, today I’ll tell you about my trip to Buenos Aires. Firstly, I have a club of study (this is a little nerd but. This club is very important for me because we have done very important things like this trip).

The club is about studies of Public Art. It was born in 2008 like a group of study with my friend of career (we're four) but in March of 2009, we received an invitation to participate in The First Congress about Public Art. It was in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
I don't know Buenos Aires but I know Mendoza in Argentina. Is not the same because Buenos Aires is bigger than Mendoza and people are very different. When I was in Mendoza i went by bus and trip to last six hours but when I was to Buenos Aires, my dad gave me a ticket by plane.

That day, i was little nervous because I was my first time by plane and i went alone. When I arrived to Buenos Aires i thought that the airport was ugly. In the airport was waiting for me my friend Diego. He lives in B.A since 2006. He was my tourist guide the day of my arrived.

In the afternoon, i met with my friend of group in a pizzeria in Corrientes Avenue in side of Obelisco and we prepared the paper for next day. My group decided and they told me: you must read tomorrow because you are read very well and I had to read. That day was very exciting. In the conference there were many foreigners. They told me: the Chileans people talk very fast and we don’t understand.

My experience in a city like Buenos Aires was so nice because the people are very kind. The city is awesome!!!

about Michel Foucault

Historian and Philosopher. He is one of the most important thinker of our time. He was born in Poitiers in France in 1926. His father was a doctor . In 1946 to enter at École normal superieur and this place he knew a Pierre Bourdieu and Jan Paul Sartre. In this school he knew too a Merlau-Ponty same his profesor.
Foucault is known to his books about philosophy. his books are: History of the madness, The worlds and the things, To watch and  punish, Sexuality history I, II and III, The manet painting, The beggining of the biopolitics.
Foucault is very funny for me because his topics are very interesting for my career and the life. The beggining of the biopolitics is the most important book of Foucault because he invented this topic to speak about a new stage of the capitalism. This is when the capitalim to enter in the life the peoples and they don't realize that when is in the capitalim. This is very complex but in a simple definition that is.
I Knew Foucault for my career and it was a great moment for my life and a love him.
