My best friend

My best friend is Natalie, she have 27 years old.

Both were studying in the same career, in Psychology at the Universidad de Chile. I was in second year and she in third year, but we had a common subject. In this occasion, we didn`t talk much, but one year after, we coincided in a faculty party and we did talk more.  Days after, we went out to eat ice cream and talk. Natalie and I were friends since the year 2013, we have two year of friendship till present.

I consider that Natalie is my best friend because we have many things in common. She also happen a vocational crisis in the career, we have the same humor type and we like the same TV series. As well as, we do many things together, for example dance in aerobic, cook, and go out to shopping.  She live with her mother, and also I. But also, she has a son of 9 years old; she got pregnant at 18 years old. Natalie knows things of me that nobody know.

The best memories that I have with Natalie, is when we did go to Zumba Class sometimes. We had fun together in these classes. I love to my best friend Natalie. 

How Green are you?

Hello, today I`m going to talk about my relation with the ecology.

I didn`t had many opportunities to learn about environmentally friendly practices, but when I was a child, in the kinder garden and my school, the teachers show me different forms of care the environment, unfortunately the lessons was only theoretical.

The recycling not is a usual topic in my daily routine. I would like have the time and the habit for this, but my days (above all in the week) are much accelerated and I don`t stop it. Even so, I think that is thing of habit, and when I will have a little bit of time (for example in summer or holidays) I will begin to realize some of recycling.

I don`t have a bike, but in Christmas my mother will give me one. I like walk by the city, above all in the night, I prefer a good trekking by some fine streets in the city instead of a route in bus. In my opinion, the bus in Santiago is a very bad transport way; is dirty, polluting and hot. It is very disagreeable.

I don`t have joined in some eco-organization. I don`t know some in Santiago, but I don`t reject the idea of in a future I have joined in one of this organizations. I think that they accomplish a very important mission in the cities above all.

I would like have a park near of my house, I want go over this place in bike. Also I would like have a little vegetable patch, above all tomatoes, lettuces and potatoes; in my house, I and my mother eat many of these vegetables.

I try of do a minimum of things for reduce my carbon footprint. But I need more information in relation with it.

Finally, I think that in Santiago we don`t have an eco-friendly behavior. The use of car is increasing year after year, the people is more consumer and the accelerated urban life don`t we allow for develop an eco-friendly aware. The industries cover the zones and the green areas are less and less. The common people and the authorities have the duty of be more responsible about this topic. 

Thanks!

My future job

Hello. Today I will write about my future job.

My real passion is creating histories, then; my ideal job in future is scriptwriter or dramatist. I imagine my job very relaxed and happy, for example in wintertime I imagine me in my house with a heater, drinking a coffee or hot tea, writing a new history for TV or theatre in my notebook. Or in summer, in a little house with view to the sea, I am sitting in the terrace, drinking a Martini and writing in my notebook.

Clearly, I would like be in a familiar space. An office is a very impersonal place to create an artistic work of any type. Ideally I need a comfortable space of job to create, with music, some drink or coffee, good light, and obviously my notebook.

I would like travel to Europe, especially to Spain and Italy, I need nourished me with the history and the knowledge of this part of the world. I think that a good histories creator have to know other realities. Other possibility is travel to Argentina and Brazil, because there are the greatest creators in script of cinema, soap opera, or theatre in Latinoamerica.

Then, if I want travel to Europe, I would take some major or specialization in Spain for example. Because here in Chile, not exist a great offer about this career and not much universities teach this job. At present, I am studying psychology at Universidad de Chile, but is a career that now don`t inspire me.

I really need and want study for be a scriptwriter. Is a passion that I discovered since approximately two years and was sleep in me for a time.

Election Day

Hello, today I will speak about the vote in democracy.

I did vote in the last election, in the 2009 and 2013. And I am going to vote in the next presidential election. I think that if we don`t exercise our right of vote, other person will do, and in this country, the power of decision is in the right wing sector, and is necessary change this situation. All we have the power of decision and we have to exercise. I think that the blocs of the “Nueva Mayoría” and the “Alianza” don`t have the sufficient capacity of civil representation, for that reason I will vote for an independent candidate.

In relation to the electoral campaigns, I think that is excessive. This type of campaigns generates visual contamination in the streets and I think that a discussion in TV is a much better form of campaign. After all, we will vote for the ideas, no for the faces or images.

The qualities that should have a person to run for a public position is a big capacity of know how to listen, as much to people as to political opponents. He should be clear and precise in his ideas and proposals. Many people in this country think that a president should be authoritarian, above all the topic of the delinquency, but I think that these people are completely disoriented.

The politician is attractive, but I don`t have the capacity of discuss, I am a bit aggressive with the extreme right wing people, and I don`t have patience for explain the things in a debate. Therefore, I don`t would have a good politician.

The electoral campaigns in my district are very invasive. Many pamphlet and posters, but in the moment of new proposal for the district, the candidates don`t have nothing specific. I think that a debate in a public space of the district would be a good form of let know his ideas and proposals. 

Thank you!

Welcome

Hello, my name is Camilo Montes. I live in Santiago of Chile. I am 24 years old, and I study psychology at Universidad de Chile since the year 2010.

I took the English Class in level 4. My weaknesses in English are listening and speaking this language in a fluent way. But my strengths are reading and writing. I need to strengthen the listening and speaking exercises.

My expectations in this course is at least strengthen my abilities in listening English. Besides, I want to understand the song lyrics of some English or American singers.

Thank you.

NEW POST: SECOND TERM 2015

My favorite city in Chile

Hello! Today I will write about my favorite city in Chile, this city is Viña del Mar.

Viña del Mar, is a city with many nocturnal life, I love this city because is similar to Santiago but also has sea and beach. As well as Viña has on the side the city of Valparaíso, where exist many inherited building; Valparaíso is the historic arm of this area, declared Human Patrimony in 2003. In Viña del Mar and Valparaíso you can find the Flower Clock, the subway (which move on the side of beach in Valparaíso, subterranean in Viña del Mar, and across the hillside in the interior villages), the municipal casino, the Vergara´s Holiday House, the Vergara Square, etc.

I know Viña del Mar since my childhood; the first time I traveled with my dad, I had 10 years old. My dad and me stayed in an hotel room, two nights, near of Plaza Vergara. In the night, I impressed by the lights and the nocturnal life. After a few years, I knew a friend that resided in this city, and also knew his family, they invited me some summer. At present, I travel sometimes to Viña during the year, about 3 or 4 occasions.

Viña del Mar is different to other cities, because Viña has marine air, in exchange Santiago has many smog, therefore, Viña is a good place for live; in this city you have all the required for live but with a best air for breathe.

Other city that I like is Concepción, is very similar to Viña or Santiago, and also has little village around. But also, I love a place in Chile that don´t similar to Santiago, Viña or Concepción, this place is Chiloe Island; a magical place, very peaceful and different customs, is a pretty place to go in holidays, but I ever need the life in the city, I used to live in it.

Thanks!
