My favourite piece of technology

I use technology in my life, mainly for work and entertainment. For home labors it’s important because it’s easier and faster.

Computers are the most used piece of technology in the word myself included. This is mainly because this piece of technology is used for communications in e-mails, chat, messenger software (voice and writing), many special software’s that help people’s work, as source of information and video games.

I have used computers for many years, I can’t remember for how long. My life would be very difficult without the computer, work and communications need computers on this times. Without my computer I would be lost in the cyber world.

But my favourite piece of technology is much simpler. I enjoy music very much, for this reason pen drives, mp3s and iPods are for me the best choice. I remember when having a portable CD player was really the best, but you couldn’t move them too much or the tracks would skip. Now portable music players are smaller and have several times the capacity of old CD players and the MP3 format allows to store hundreds of songs on a small and very portable device.

I had a very small pendrive that dind’t play music, but a couple of months ago I got a new pendrive with a lot of capacity and that plays music files. I love it, I can listen to my favortite songs while I go to University and I also use it to store my assignments and documents. Without it, it would be harder to transfer my documents form one computer to another, and I wouldn’t be able to listen to all the song I like while I’m not at home.

A good film: "Underground"

I am a cinema fan. A good film to me is “Underground” from Emir Kusturica. I saw this film for first time mmmh... four years ago, with a friend, in the Cine Normandie, this place is a tradicional art cinema in downtown santiago.

I remembered this day, because I ate a bad brownie, it was decomposed. And the day was hot. I have been in the cinema for almost 3 hours, it was very nice.

It is a very complete and diverse film. It’s hard to catalogue it, because it’s a political movie, with drama, comedy, action, musical and surrealims. It provides a mix of emotions for the spectator.

Buuf ... Any attempt to do a synopsis is complicated enough. The arguments, the music, and the magnificent conjunction of the historical facts (the wars) and the story itself. All that makes the film a masterpiece and very a entertaining expirience.


Is the metaforic history of Yugoslavia. The trama is about Blaky, a married man, he has a romance with a frivolous actress whos name is Natalija. But Blaky has a friend, Marko, but he also is in love of Natalija and they use the ward, together they cheat it, whith a group of undergroud people. And they take advantage, making them work, forming a clandestine weapons insdustry.

A Typical Chilean celebration is ¨Fiestas patrias¨. On this holiday the country’s independence day is celebrated, but the real event behind this date is the celebration of the first national meeting, on September 18th 1810.

Many Chileans don’t know the history of their country, they celebrate and remember that they are Chileans only on this date.

The typical folklore dance, “Cueca”, is only danced by people on this holiday, during the rest of the year they forget about it.

When I was a child, I liked to dance cuenca at school. Every year on this date I danced cueca for sport classes, and my grades at sports were good.

Last year I celebrated with my family, it was a lot of fun because we were all happy. Sometimes we cook empanadas (typical Chilean food). But it’s very hard and it takes a lot of time to make them so instead we buy them. It’s easier to do a barbecue, we often do ¨anticuchos¨.

There’s a typical drink called ¨chicha¨, made from grapes. People drinks a lot and they dance cueca. The Fondas are located at the O´higgins Park, on this place many people joins in celebration, while children fly kites, because the wind in September is very favourable and the sky’s view is beautiful and very colorfull. I prefer not to go to fondas.

Learning English: My Experience

Today, to learn English is very important for the communications, between the people in the world.
Many persons of different cultures and languages can talk.
But the best studies of sciences are in english, this is the reason because is important this language.
In the primary, I don’t remember the name of my teacher, because I have had many teachers, may be for it’s my English not is very god.
Sometimes I enjoyed so much to learn a new language, because the songs are different and to talk is hard.
I don’t thing so that English is easy, not all persons have the facility of being able to learn languages.
I know many young (my friends) talk English; one of my best friends is studying English Literature in Catholic University (P.U.C), but we do not speak in English, do it in Spanish. She asks me which the activities are that I have in the English class, because she must do classes in the Finis Terrae University.
I am looser in English, but I try it. May be I understand the American English, because all series and films they are made in USA.
I believe it that the teacher must have many patience for to learn and understand.
To write is hard for my, the grammar ufff, in this lines you can know. And when I speak in English sometimes I am nervous. It is very important to be calm and not be afraid to the ridiculous.
I will treat to improve, I wait for it.

Abstract: Desert cities are living on borrowed, UN warns

Desert cities are living on borrowed time, the climate is in constant change and it’s essential to have knowledge of the environment.
A lot of people live in such places so it's very import to generate enough electricity and water. Physical characteristics, like soil and water, are precious.
Desert cities have a lot of problems with water management; water salinization and the reduction of glaciers are common.
