I never had a blog!

I think to write in a blog every class is a good way to learn English because you need to improve your vocabulary and read what my classmates do. I can know better what they like and it's a funny way to make that. Writing about what you like it's a very good way to untie your hand and becoriuse of how you can say some things. It’s different way to teach a language. In the School the classes are too boring when you have to read always topics that no one is interested. My English improve, now I can expose my ideas more clearly and express more things, talk about the details for example. 

Blogging in the English class sometimes was very funny but sometimes boring. I think its better when you can do these things at home, and maybe write text a little bit longer those 180 words. Maybe write a dialog with more classmates. But, in general, is an alternative way to learn what we need to know to talk a Basic English. I prefer to talk more in English than writing, but we need to practice with the words to write an e-mail as a journalist for example to get some information.

History

History it’s my favorite subject, but I also like mat. I think History it’s really important because teach us about the past, so we can learn and not to do the same mistakes in the future.

In my school we use to watch really cool movies about war or about the royalty. Also we read books, and make presentations about some very important event of history and we presented in front of all class.

There is a tipe of history that I really like is the "What If". I have read a few books in which historians take key moments in history and theorize what life would be like today if things had gone differently. 

Contents

The contents that I have seen were history of Chile, Universal history, geography. Also we saw the laws of Chile, the Constitution of Chile.

In my opinion, I think history could be mysterious and fascinating. I have been attached to old things and the nostalgic stories since I was a child. Ihave always liked old movies. In contrast to the preconceptions which usually accompany the image of History as nothing more than reading dusty old books and remembering dates, studying history is a wonderful way of learning about the past, like I mention before, in the first paragraphed, and how events and personalities in times gone by have shaped the world we live in today. :)

Where is he?

Rodolfo Walsh was an argentine writer and journalist. Some people say that he was the founder of investigative journalist. He is missed since on March 25, 1977 when Argentina was in a military dictator. His political views and his books were a huge problem for the government on that time and now his investigations are very important to know the cases of many people that were killed by the army and argentine police on those years.

He was a dangerous person for the people who was in the power because of his activities. With his job he made an option for the classical journalism view which says that the journalist just has to tell us a history with and objective point of view but he made something different. He was very active in politics. He was part of Montoneros a guerrilla in Argentina who looked with good eyes how Guevara won in Cuba. So he has a clearly point of view but he was honest and ethical with his investigations and his books show things that many people wanted to have in a hidden place. Because of this he is an example of a brave person who made his life a fight against injustice.

Some tips for your life as student

1. - Eat a lot on Friday's lunch

In Campus Juan Gómez Millas you probably want to "carretear" and maybe you'll drink too much and get drunk if you didn't eat enough. We don't wanna you bring up in front of your friends.

2.-Read and study at philosophy's library

Make you sure that you study in a quiet place. Go there if you want silence to learn something or be alone to focus.

3.- Be friendly with people who work on campus

Security guards, gardeners, secretary’s office, we  are all part of a community. If you need help they will be there for you. If you study at ICEI, please be careful with your relationship with Olguita.

Today I'm going to write about a book that I really enjoy it, but first I'm going to talk a little about the author of this book. Agatha Christie was a English crime writer of novels. Born 15 september 1890, in Devon, England. Christie served in a hospital during the First World War, before marrying and starting a family in London. In 1920, The Bodley Head press published her novel The Mysterious Affair at Styles, featuring the character of Poirot. This launched her literary career. Hercules Poirot becomes the most famous detective and long-lived characters, appearing in 33 novels, one play Black Coffee, and more than 50 short stories published between 1920 and 1975 and set in the same era. Poirot has been portrayed on radio, on screen, for films and television.

The Mistery of the Blue Train tells a history about an assassination. It starts with Katherine Grey. She and Poirot board Le Train Bleu. On board Grey meets Ruth Kettering, an American heiress leaving her unhappy marriage to meet her lover. The next morning, though, Ruth is found dead in her compartment. Ruth's father, the American millionaire Rufus Van Aldin, convince Poirot to take on the  mistery case.

 Lunch atop a Skyscraper

 

This photograph calls "Lunch atop a Skyscraper" and it was taken by Charles Ebbets on september 20, 1932. The photograph shows a group of 11 workers seated on a girder with their feet dangling 256 meters, on the 69th floor! above the New York City streets. They are having lunch during the construction of the RCA building at Rockefeller Center.

The men haven't any security. They don't have safety harness. They are seated like if were in the dinner room of their house. This picture was taken during the Great Depression, a time when people were willing to take any job regardless of safety issue.

The photographer

Charles Ebbets was born in August 18, 1905 in Gadsden, Alabama. He bought his first camera at the age of eight by charging it to his mother's account at a local drugstore. Ebbets started his career during the 1920s in St. Petersburg, Florida, as a still photographer.

By the 1930s Ebbets was a well known photographer and had work published in the major newspapers across the nation including the New York Times. In 1932, he was appointed photographic director for the Rockefeller Center, which was under construction in New York. In September of that year, he would take the photo which would later define his work, Lunchtime atop a Skyscraper. This picture appeared in the Sunday photo supplement of the New York Herald Tribune on October 2. 

I really like this photo because you can see the buildings of New York behind the workers and it's really awesome how they can be so relax at such a high height. In fact, it causes me a little of vertigo. The other thing that I like, it's that they look like if were floating, because the photograph doesn't show the entire girder. Although I like that the picture is in black and white, maybe if was in color, the details could be more appreciated.

Today I'm going to talk about my new favourite serie. It calls Girls.Girls portrays the life of four girls of twenty-somethings that live in New York city. Created by and starring Lena Dunham. The serie begins when the aspiring writer Hannah gets a shock when her parents visit from Michigan and announce they will no longer financially support her as they have done since her graduation from Oberlin College two years before.

Some Characters 

Shoshanna Shapiro

I love this character. She is Jessa's bubbly and innocent  american cousin, 21 years old. She is very intelligent and has a math major at New York University. Shoshanna loves the serie Sex & the City, and keeps a poster from the first movie in her apartment. Her "biggest baggage" is that she is a virgin. I like the way she talks (she talks very fast) and express. I think Zosia Mamet, the actress, acts very good, is very believable her character.

Adam Sackler

I love this guy. At the beginning I found him a little freak and crazy but now I think he is very kind and funny. I love his personality. Adam is usually seen in his apartment where he and Hannah have sex, but their relationship deepens over the course of the first season. But then with time they get serious and he becomes her boyfriend.  In the season one finale, he offers to move in to Hannah's apartment but then breaks up with her after he says he loves her, and she doesn't respond.

I think I don't have many technology articles, in fact I only have my computer and my cellphone. I use my computer to study and to be in facebook or to buy some stuff on internet, but in general if don't have to use my computer I use my cellphone, because is more accessible and fast. 

So my favourite piece of technology is my iPhone. I got it like two years ago and I use it all the time. I check my emails, I send emails, I take pictures with my iPhone, and also I talk whith my friends using the aplicattion of chat called Whatsapp. I whatch videos and use the aplicattion of facebook and the most important or the thing I use more is to listen music.

I like my iPhone because it has a lot of things in one aparat. Like I said before I can check my emails, browsing on web and listen music, I don´t need a mp3 or my computer if I want to do this kind of stuff.

What life would be like without it
Well like a week ago, the day when it was raining very strong, my iPhone accidentally got wet, and for two days it was turned off. I was a little freak out not because I couldn't listen to music or send emails, but because I couldn't called my parents or friends. 

Maybe if I spend more time with out my iPhone I will be like the girl in this picture jajaj

Yesterday a new integrant come into my family. His name is Sam. It's a very handsome puppy! 

My little syster found him in this website: http://animaliaadopciones.wordpress.com/. 

This site has a huge number of annoucements of cats and dogs which were abandoned and don't have any home. It's suppose that every person who want a pet  has to taking guardianship of and responsibility for a pet.

All in my family are very happy and Sam as well. He is very intelligent and a little naughty. Now we have to organizated very well, to take care our Sam.

One of the websites that I really like is www.ciperchile.cl. CIPER is Centro de Investigación Periodística, (Center of Journalism Investigation) 

I think it's a fantastic journalism agency that always has great reports and they know how they can have a dramatic effect with their investigations. 

Also, Ciper is a non-profit institution, and this is very important these days because they have all the freedoom to write about whatever they like. There is not conflict of interest in this agency, like it's common to happen with the media. 

Another thing that I like about Ciper, it's that they don't have any affilation with any corporation or party, so their editorial line it's no conditionated to anyone. At least they say that on their website.

The last week, on 1th May, it was Ciper's six birthday and they presented a special article where they mention 24 of their reports that have a very hight impact in the Chilean society.

I think it's a very etical, soundness, and good agency, and I would really like to work here in the future.

The last time that I came to a concert, was the last year. It was a very hot day and I was on my way to Lollapalooza Festival. The subway was full of people. They were all talking about their favourite bands. Finally, I arrive to the O'Higgins's park and I meet with my friends. We ate something and we were walking around, wathching some bands. Suddenly it was nine o'clock, and the great great band of  Foo Fighters, it was about to come out to stage. The people started to scream and applaud. I was very anxious, and then, the music started. It was very loud and the vocalist Dave Grohl, say "¡Good night Santiago!" to the public. It was a very exciting moment. The whole concert I was very happy, singing and jumping around. I will never forget this night. It was the best concert ever!

I was born on a warm day, on  8th, september, 1989. I was the second child of my parents and they were very happy to have a girl in the family. With time, I was getting bigger and when I was six years old, I went to school. My school it is located on Tomás Moro street. It is very big and have a lot of green grass. I used to play with my friends running across the grass. 

When I finished high school, I went to the university, so I got into the carrer of journalism in the University of Chile. 

In my family, we are five: my two parents, my big brother and my little syster. My big brother is 27 years old, and his is a teacher. He really enjoy to teach to his students. My little syster is 19 years old, and she is studying publicity. Sometimes we fight, but we care about each other. 

When it is winter and it is rainning I really enjoy to stay in home and watch a good movie or maybe just stay in bed, because I love to hear the sound of the rain. I also enjoy to hang out with my friends and in the summer I usually read a good book. I really like to read.
