B13 Bloggers

 Today we do in the computer hour a lot of activities of the B1 level in English. There are  4 of listening and other 4 of reading. I found the listening part  harder then the reading, becaused the audios were very confusing. The peolple who were talking says the three options but they say at the final if it was or not.

 I don't follow many famous people on my social networks, however one account that I find really interesting is that of the "Palestino" soccer team. They mainly upload information about the men's team, their results, upcoming games and photos of their training. What makes the account interesting is also what they also upload from their other teams, such as the women's and youth teams. Each time these publications take on more weight, since in these categories, the club is better. Outside of all this, what makes the "Palestino" account different from that of other football teams is its political participation, since currently, with the parallel war between Palestine and Israel, the account is in charge of organizing charity events and provide information to the club's fans. For example, this entire month of November was called "month of solidarity with Palestine" together with the UN and in Chile events have been organized with famous Chilea...

In the summer of 2020, before the pandemic, my brother, father and me embarked on a travel to Salto del Laja. We were previously in Los Angeles, where my grandmother lived. We went for the day, becaused it was not that far away. When we arrived we realized that there were too many people and taking a tour would take us the whole day. For this reason we took a detour towards a camping area and enteres one for a while. The place faced the river and had some parts where it was very slow. We loved the place, it was very quiet, the water was surprisingly good for bathing and there were stalls to buy food that were good. We liked the place so much that the following year we wanted to go again but it was closed due to the pandemic. Even so, we always have the intention of returning to the place and staying a few days camping, but it is complicated because now we have to take more care of my grandmother.

 I´m not a big knowledgest of interesting places and travels but when I was in scout, by my school, we went to many interesting places. In one summercamp, I think in year 2019, I remember that the group had an activity were he let us with a guide in a random place and we must to comeback to the camp in three days, "Ride".  In one of the stops that we do this summer was in Panguipulli. I still remember that before get in the town, we found a pair of hotels that had impressive shapes and were built of wood. When we arrive in Panguipulli we negociate with an restaurant to buy food. We got a very good price and we lunch stake with  French fries, was definetly the best lunch in the hole camp. Then we went to the Panguipulli lake, where we take a shower and made scout activities with games and talks. This travel was very enjoyed by us becaused the group of 5 that we were was the same of my best friends so we have now a lot of histories and experiences that we all remmeber with ...

 I begann to have english classes in the school when I was in 7th grade (13 years old). Thats becaused my school was swiss and before 7th grade they only teach on german. I think it was a bit difficult to me, becaused I confused a lot of words between this two languages. In my daily routine I also play videogames and I see films that are not traduced, so I hear the actors speaking and thats help me to understand better english native speakers. Another think thats help me for that is to hear english music. When i´m in the english lessons I don´t like so much to talk with my partners, but reading textes and writing, I find it better and sometimes I enjoy it. I think knowing English will be useful in the future, becaused a lot of international architecture offices work in this languages, and if you don´t speaks english, they are automatically unreachable. Also is very neccesary to travel around the world and it helps to meet new people in your life. I think that English culture is ver...

For me too is a great idea to have this free week in September, it was also excelent that was the last week and not this week, so we take the holidays of  Monday and Tuesday. Last week can be summarized in this 5 activities: 1. Socialising: I was able to coordinate with many friends that I haven´t seen a long time ago. We have organized a barbecue, where we have played Fifa and spoke the hole night. Also I meet new people, one of my best friends studies theatre and he invited us to a party of his carreer, there we passed a great time. On Monday I went to a "Fonda", whit classmates and more friends, so it was a great "weekend". 2. Sport I took the free time to go to the gym and to do sport. I played tennis again with an old friend and I also went to a basketball tournament of 3v3, where we lost all the games. On Sunday, with my father and my brother, we went to "El Colorado" to ski during the day. 3. Eat Like most of people, I ate a lot of food. I went to 4...

Reading "The Guardian", I found in the section "In my Radar", an article about cultural snapshots that the actor Will Poulter consume. He talk about first about music, specifically about the album by Kojey Radical "Reason to Smile". The actor says that this artist makes high level music since a lot of years and that his letters are like poetry. Then he talk about his favourite Novel, a book, which was gifted by his sister and makes him understand new things about masculinity.  The actor confessed that he eat a lot out of home, so he know a lot of restaurant, but Will says that his favourite Restaurant is "Saborcito", an Spanish Michelin star restaurant that have and franchise in England. In Tv, he see policial series, but "The Ipcress File" is his favourite. Is interesting because he mentioned only technically good thing about the programm and nothing about the story or the trama. He also like Bo Burnham, a comedy serie in Netflix that ...

 In my live I have been in a concert only one time and it was like 13 years ago. I was in the school, I think third or second grade and the mother of one of my best friends invites me and 3 more friends to a concert, where she was working with the artists. The concert was of  "Los Jaivas", when they turn 50 years old as group.  I don´t remember everything becaused was long time ago, but I have some images of being in first row without knowing any song and without being able to see anything becaused I was to small. Later we go playing with my classmates and in the night we went for a pizzas near of the concert. This is the only big concert that I have ever go, but before pandemia I went a few time to the theater to hear concerts of classical music, operas and one time a memorial of Gustavo Cerati. This last one was very interesting becaused the group mixed the argentinian rock with and classical orchestra and psychedelic images, so you get absorbed by the performance. I we...

Good Morning classmates and teacher, My name is Clemente and I'm 19 years old. I'm studying Architecture here in FAU and I live with my Mother, my brother and we have a cat. My mother studied Art in the University of Chile and she have the national record of high jump in Chile. My brother it's bithday today and he turns 17, his name is Ignacio, but we also call him "Yeye". Our cat have 13 years old and her name is Celeste, she was with us since she has 1 month. I'm in second year of the University and my hobbies are do any sport with friends play computer and hear music. My favourite sport is Tennis, and when I was younger, I compete in a lot of tournaments, but since 4 years I do it only as a hobbie. Now I play more football and basketball becaused I think that playing with teammates is an another type of competition and, usually, is funnier.

 To this final post I will give you my opinion about my experience with myblog.com and the blogs we do in classes. At first, what I can say about the fridays classes is that was a good exercise to don´t forget to write in English, becaused in my routine days I don´t do it usually, so I lose fluency to write. I don´t think that I learn more English, but is a fact that today I write these posts in half of the time then before. Another thing that I want to tell about this format is that not all blogs were equal to write and to read, becaused some topics were funnier then others. I think that my favourite post that I write this semester was that one that we explain a memorable travel that we do in the past. In my case I write about my trip to Argentina and that bring me back a lot of good memories. On the other hand, the post that I enjoyed less was the second one, where we must to write about a song that we find good. I don´t like these blog becaused it was a little boring to explain ...

 When I was nine years old my oldest cousin talk us (me and my other cousin) about Naruto, a japanese anime which tell the story about a ninja kid who want to be the "Hokage" (President) of his Village. The serie have a lot of combats between the characters and show us how Naruto begins to be apreciated by everyone. The animated serie is original of a manga (japanese comic) and has begin to writed by Masashi Kishimoto at the 21th September of 1999, but the anime was released firstly in 2003.  The storie divides in two big parts, one who show Naruto as child, and the second, Naruto Shippuden, where the protagonist becomes older and stronger. In the actuallity exist the serie of the son of Naruto, Boruto, but I dont have find the time to see it. I like this serie becaused it show how someone can reach his goals against all adversityies and, in my opinion, most of the fights are incredible in his animation and narrative. Also almost every characters of the serie are very good bu...

 The best NBA player at the momment want to go back to his country (Serbia), becaused he want to spent more time with his family. Nikola Jókic also says that Basketball is not the most important thing in his live, is only an activity in which he is talented. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2023/jun/15/nikola-jokic-lost-mvp-trophy-champagne-parade

Today I will talk about one of my best friends. His name is Horacio, but we called him Yacho and we have been friends since 2016. I met Yacho in the school, he was part of my generation, but he was in the A class ( I was in B), we began to be friends, because we were together in a class of German and we were desk neighbours. We become better friends when I entered to the scouts and he was my patrol guide, there, in the camps, I met the group of my best friends until to these days.  I think, that what we most have in common is our competitive actitude. I know that everything we do, we will try to win and, in most cases, we do. He is very skilled in sports, so we can play any sport and dont feel bad for the activity. Last time I saw him was yesterday, because he invited me for a soccer match with his Political science classmates. We managed to win the match, so we are on good terms ( When we loose games, we stop talking for a few days). Today, in the evening I will also see him, beca...

Today I want to talk about a family meal that I remember. I think it was 2 years ago, when my grandparents celebrate their 50th marriage anniversary. We celebrate it in the house of my aunt and all my maternal family was there. All my uncles (2), aunts (2), my cousins (11), my grand parents, my mom, my brother and me were there.  I remember that we ate arabic food, becaused this part of my family are palestinians. We usually buy the arabic food, but this time all the families had to bring part of the food cooked by themselves. My mother and me cooked the stuffed cabbages, which were not so good. The featured recipe was of my uncle Gabriel, who cooked with my cousin "Tajas", this is a Tomato soup with a lot of garlic, rice and lamb meat.  The memorable of this family meal was that we were in pandemic and we haven´t seen each other for months, so my grand parents got emotionals and we met our new cousin that she was born recently. This day we talk a lot with my cousins, who are...

 Last week was the "semana de receso", so I have a very long "weekend". In this days I seize the time to train Tennis, becaused with the University, I often have not enough time to go to the club. In a normal week I play Tennis 2-3 times and only 1,5 hours per day, but with this mini holidays I reach to play 4 days and almost the whole day (From 11am to 17 o´clock). The plan of the training is very special, because we play only 2 hours in the morning, then we go to the gym 1 hours and 30 minutes, and after lunch we play another time Tennis. Between the fisic preparation and the second Tennis class we have a little moment to lunch, but sometime we are very tired with the gym and we use this break to take a nap and recover energies. After the training, generally, I go to my house, but last Friday I had a Football match with my friends, so I went directly from the club to the Football court, fortunately it was not to far away. The worst part of the day was when the mat...

 I don´t know if this holiday are my first holidays, but i think was one of the best vacations that i do with my family. I think it was in the summer of 2013, when i was 10 years old and we go to Argentina, but in the way we stopped in a lot of places in the South of Chile.  I remember to be in Los Ángeles, in the house of my grandmother, then we go to Pichilemu and Osorno, where one of my best friends in this era had moved. When we finally where in San Martin, Argentina, we haven´t a place to sleep, so we search the hole day an hotel to stay there. Finally we can´t find an hotel, but in the restaurant, where we had dinner, a man say us that he can us recive in his house during a week. I remember that San Martin was very quiet and the more memorable thing that we had do was to navegate in the see in a both with my father and my brother ( My mom is afraid with the waves).  Then we go to Bariloche, where was more touristic and we visited a lot historical constructions and m...

 Gündogan, who plays in Manchester City, one of the best Football clubs in the Earth, wants to leave the team to join to the Barcelona of Xavi. The problem is that the economical situation of the Spanish club is very fragile and exist the possibilitie that the player can´t be transfered.

 Hi classmates and Mr. Higginson, In this ocation I will to share with you a song that I really like, which in the last weeks i hear it a lot of times. The song names "Departamento" and the band who play it names "Bándalos Chinos". I dont know when was the first time that I hear this song, probably was with my uncle who loves argentinian rock and sometimes was in charge with the music at the family celebrations. I "rediscovered" this song by one of my best friends, who was searching new music in his free time and found this fantastic masterpiece. I like of this song that is not only a traditional argentinian rock with guitars and an "agressive" rhythm, also the "Bándalos Chinos" mixed this sounds with some electronical music and softier noices, without a main bass. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzS-tVjSMoI

Then, in 2007, they comeback to Chile. I lived with my Mother and my brother, who is 16 years old, and my hobbies are playing Tennis and Computer games.
