Hello class, today I will talk about my semester. My semester was exhausting between university, workshops, political work and life in general. The good part is that it is finally ending! University was half good and half bad, because I had some good classes like “Labor in Latin America”, but other classes were bad and also were obligatory and had assistance, like Sociological Theory VI and English IV (the last one has always complicated my existence). With respect to the political work, I think it was a good semester. I learned and I keep learning a lot from my mates and new people that I have met in the journey. At the beginning of the semester I wanted to learn Salsa, swimming and do massages, things that I started but never finished, because the things I mentioned before consumed all my time. I hope to return to this things in vacations, and I hope to do many other things that I couldn’t do because I had no time. I really want to read some books, know new places, hills from Santiago, ride my bike, go to the beach, dancing, learn to massage, uncare. The good of everything is that, after finishing this semester, next year will be more academically calm (I hope so), and I will be able to give more time to other things that I am interested and passionate about. Well that is all I want to say, I hope I can finish good this week and approve English and Sociological Theory VI. May the force be with me. Greetings class!

Hello, today I am going to talk about an ambition that I have: to know Latin America. I would like to know Latin America for many reasons, so I will try to mention a some of them. I would like to know Latin America because in this land there are many countries that are very very different, but also alike. There are so many places, stories, people, conflicts, realities, art, music, and so on that you can learn there. I would like to know her, but not as a quick trip in short time, but hopefully in a long time, slow... but deep. But, honestly, I don’t know if I could be away from my closest for so long. What inspired my ambition of knowing Latin America and also Chile, are the travels that I’ve done i the last years, where I’ve learned so much. About two years ago I travelled with some friends to Bolivia, a wonderful country, but we were there for only three weeks. So, since then I have the ambition of knowing more of Bolivia, and other countries and realities. To fulfill this ambition, this dream, would be very good for me. I would learn a lot. However, it wouldn’t kill me if I don’t achieve this ambition, because it depends, everything depends on the circumstances. By last, I would like to say that if I made this trip, I would like to build solidarity bonds with those who live this other different but similar realities from Latin America. Bonds that can last through time. That’s all. Greetings class!

Hello, today i am going to write about a new from The Guardian newspaper from today, December 9th, 2016. I chose this article that had the following headline: "Russian state doped more than 1.000 athletes and corrupted London 2012". I picked this article because it called my attention the direct accusation to the Russian state. When i red it I knew that given a report of the canadian law professor Richard McLaren –in the name of the World Anti Dopake Agency (WADA)-, it had unveiled that more than 1.000 russian athletes in more than 30 sports –including football soccer- participated or benefited with the state between 2011 and 2015. According to the article, the russian government and the sports authorities agreed to ensure that their sports’s stars could take a prohibited drug cocktail and avoid the doping tests. After this proofs, the International Olympic Comittee (IOC) had the responsability of exame the tests of the russian athletes during London 2012. Also they analized more than 250 doping samples of the russian athletes in the winter olympic games in Sochi, 2014. I think that this new is important because of the serious accusation that is being made. It is a sophisticated doping mechanism that is being revealed, that maybe many countries use. That’s all, greetings class!

Hello, today i am going to talk about the difficulties that i had to do the practice exercises. About the exercises in general, those that were easier for me to do were the reading ones. On the other hand, the hardest for me were the listening exercises. The vocabulary exercise complicated me because I have a very bad memory . Between the listening exercises, the one that was the hardest for me was the second one, because it was a very long conversation, and they talked too fast, unlike the first one, where they were talking a little bit slower and they were shorter conversations. In general, it was too hard for me to understand what they said. Between the reading exercises, the first one and the second one where easier for me and more practical. The third one was harder because of the extension. I will have to practice a lot :( Greetings class!

Today I´m going to write about a beautiful, magic and little- know place in chile: Mocha Island. Mocha is an island located in front of the shores of the arauco province , in the Bio Bio region, 34,2 kilometers from Tirúa. The island has a surface of 48 km2. The island is a beautiful combination of countryside and beach. There animals like cows, horses, and pigs, because the people that live there – the “mochanos”- raise animals for the sale, eat or move around. Also “the mochanos” are dedicate to the fishing and diving collect shellfish I traveled to mocha island with my girlfriend matilde in this summer. This was a beautiful experience that be impossible to forget. She and me learned many about this island. Both knew many places of this island, and knew to people that live there. I recommend if you go to this island that go to the center of the island where there a national park administrated by CONAF. In this park there many tipes of birds (if you visit the park you could listen many different singings) and very big arrayanes and olivos. I also recommend riding a bicycle around the island (three hours approximate) where you can enjoy amazing and wonderful landscape . The turism in the island is not very common, is very quiet and peaceful place, ideal for relaxing, disconnect and appreciate the beautiful and mystical nature I hope you can visit mocha island , I recommend it 1000% Greating class!

Hello class, Today I going to talk about my favourite Song.

My favourite song at the moments is “flor del potrero” of inkognito feat mokozo, piwi and pekau

I hear this song for the first time a beginning of this year (2016). I never had hear this singer until this year. This singer is “inkognito”, an rapper of Chile.  This song is part of the disc “gallo rojo” that was initiate in 2010.

I like this song and this singer because talk (singer) about the social problem and political problem of Chile. He talk trought of this song.  I like that in his song sing about cotidian situation that sometimes we don’t remember or take for granted  for be paradoxical so cotidian. I like this song also because this song not just talk about the social or political problem, also explain certain reasons of the problem, for example of the inequality.  

Also, I like this song because the background musical is very good and also I like  that in this song, inkognito sing with other rapper, that also is very good.

For last, I like this song because use  methapor like “la flor del potrero” for relate the reality of many people of chile.

The style of music of this song and this singer is the rap.

That is all. I hope you listen the song,

 Greating class!

Hi, today Im going to talk about my favourite pressie: the actually bike.

The bike was given for my family in the 2013. They gave to me the bike because I needed this bike for move for the city more fast. The transport public sometimes is very slow for the traffic,  and with the bike I can ride the bike more fast for the city. With the bike I can manage my time for move for the city.  I use many the bike, for example I use to go to the university, my home, the different reunion, and sometimes to climbing the hill with friends.

My pressie in this moment is in the patio of the university

I think about the riding the bike that is very practical and at the same time entertaining. Also I think that is very important that we use the bike also use the helmet, because I think that we must be very careful  when we ride the bike, but we never can know , or predict how will the car other person drive.  Too I think that important that when you ride the bike for many time,  before and after stretch because you should look after for  yourself since ride the bike for many times cause problem for the back and especially for the knee.

That is all, greetings class!
