My English Blog


As we all know the start of the semester we were given the task of creating a blog for the English III course and each week we were assigned a theme, which should develop with a minimum of words.

The first time I wrote, I found it very frustrating and complicated, because the whole time that I got just got to write a couple of lines. As the weeks passed, and got used to the idea that I should write a different theme each week and as my English leaves much to be desired, I tried to be as accurate as possible in what he said and wrote the minimum general words required.

I think it's a very good initiative to have the instance of writing, which is what we do not usually do in previous years, yes, I would have liked this type had been built from the English I course through a most basic and simple writing, order to gain the experience to write more fluently and fast to reach the final course. I love this kind of technique to measure learning in a more innovative and entertaining, and I most of the issues which we were speaking, I liked and was very funny to remember or find an image uqe accurately portray what we were trying to express.

I can not say it was entirely satisfactory, since although an improvement in the time delay in the writing, I often did not have the time to develop this for purely personal issues in my English, but in one way or another became constant in most peers. Yes, I liked the flexibility given to us could finish and post them in our home and add comments.

That's it for this semester ...

My ideal Holidays! ...



I think about my ideal holidays... first think that comes to mind is... EGYPT!! I find this a great country with many tourist attractions and a rare beauty.

I want to do this trip accompanied by my boyfriend Rodrigo would be great to enjoy an adventure like this with him, I would choose not only because it is a very important person in my life, but also because it has a sense of adventure without limits. The first thing I do is visit the famous pyramids of Egypt, one of the main reasons why I chose that destination. has always caught my attention its beauty and perfection and the countless stories and mysteries lurk, I think it would take lots of pictures and take a walk every corner I could.

I would like to travel the Nile River, sail on it even though I feel dizzy whenever I'm away from land and city tour of Cairo at night, I have seen many pictures of this city at sunset and dusk and is truly wonderful.

Something would not miss a walk through the desert on camels, despite my phobia of four-legged animals larger than a human being could not miss something ... impossible to go to Egypt and not have a camel safari and ride happy life with my boyfriend

Actually walk to every corner of the country, with the idea of knowing a culture that since childhood I have drawn attention and I hope to meet in the short term ... hopefully as soon as possible, for the moment I can only continue to glow with Egyptian culture through pictures on the internet, with the conviction that when the time comes ... I will enjoy full...

Stereotypes in Fau????

Despite having 4 years studying at Fau not easy for me to define stereotypes in college. But a level career, there are clear differences among students of design, architecture and geography, which are 3 career that are held in the faculty of Arquiectura and Urban Development.

Architecture girls are often the easiest to distinguish, usually tend to dress fashionably and are very concerned about dressing well and always be arranged, most are extremely thin, thin face and give the Fau that Gateway touch ... hahaha ... Men on the other hand go unnoticed between an architect and a designer no major differences in my opinion ...!!!

The designers are noteworthy for its accessories and very bright colors in clothing, the faculty are always a lot of things in their bags, sticking posters on one side to another and mounted exhibitions in every corner of the Fau. The main thing about them is their dress, very unique style and different from the rest

Finally we have the geographers, those of which when spoken in the Fau, they are usually associated with reel and laziness ... jajajaj ... wrong! Geographers are people applied and socially motivated. The girls we differ from the rest (as the men themselves Geo) by our not so good dress and appearance, because we always compared with girls of architecture .... good guy thing! They are generally cool people and uncomplicated, sociable and always present in the leisure and recreation.

Perhaps my definition of stereotypes they seem a bit superficial, but it is most relevant disntiguible and can be said to characterize the vast range of pesonal, colors, lifestyles that exist in the Fau.

Until next blog

Digita Audio Player... 10 years of onset




A digital audio player, usually referred to as an MP3 player, is a consumer electronic device that has the primary function of storing, organizing and playing audio files. The portable audio player began to overcrowded, when in 1987 the Fraunhofer Institute set out to develop a method for transmitting audio in a digital compressed format; resulting in the creation of mp3.

Often called mp3, because most of the songs are available in this format, but also these players support formats such as WMA, ATRAC, AAC, last ESOT developed by Sony and Apple respectively.

I remember getting my first audio or MP3 player when I was in first year of middle school. At first I took no more important and I used to use it only when I was really bored. Over time this was becoming a highly valued obejto my life, in any case essential .... but important, because it makes my trips to my house (in San Felipe) and back to Santiago but boring.

Currently I have a very small fuchsia and accompanies me everywhere

My Favorite movie is ... "The Green Mille"



I must admit that throughout my life I have certainly seen fewer films than the rest of my colleagues, because the movies usually do not call my attention

No doubt a framework I definitely emotionally "Green Mile" movie based on the Stephen King book "The death row." account the film tells the story of Paul Edgecomb, played by Tom Hanks, who in its 108 years has as its official Experiencing death row at the penitentiary Could Montain in 1930.

It is there where he met a prisoner named John Cofeey to have supernatural powers and is able to heal others; this person was sentenced to death for raping and killing two girls. Despite its large size Cofeey looks like a child and through a series of miracles in the penitentiary is to win the affection of the officers.

The plot in general is very sad, but it has great lessons. Do not tell them more, so if you have not seen .... do it!!

I admire ... Araya-Vergara


The Geography it has much field action, Chileans are not very well known worldwide in the discipline. One of more important in the field the Geomorfology is José Francisco Araya Vergara, academic of the University of Chile in the Departament of Geography in the Faculty of Architecture and Town Planning. I admire him because have many cientifics publications in the Geomorfology area, recognized worldwide.

The license is not Geographer, his title is teacher of History and Geography of the University of Chile, and is currently one of two professors of the Department of Geography and holds a degree in Physical Oceanography, Unesco, France. Although its title does not correspond to the geographer, has dedicated his life to training courses such as dictating geographers Oceanography (now called Geography of the Sea) and the chairs that are his specialty: Geomorphology and Quaternary Geology at the University, has even been taught many of today's scholars, both undergraduate program and the Post-grade in Geography.

No one knows with certainty its current age, old age has always given rise to jokes among the students, showing that probably born in the Jurassic period or like.

One of his most famous research is called "Match morphogenetic beach" published in 1986, this classification is the most worldwide used for the analysis of beach profiles, Chile his most famous work is the classification of dunes made for Military Geographical Institute

Be characterized as a charismatic man and good to joke, but is very strict and demanding in the classroom.

How to forget that night...!


I was sleeping, after exhausting one day... when a big sound I knock up! To see that the mirror was moving, I woke up and turn on the light when out my bethroom. The flashings lights scared me... I went to the garden, took and embrace my little dog. Was complex... my aunt is very nervious and faint in the garden... she gave me a fright when she went all pale.

My granny become very nervious, because her afraid to the earthquakes! When the earthquake finish, we stay a few minutes in the back yard. So my uncle arrived to my house and went to the back yard and he said us go inside to the house. Then we went and sit down in the dining room and we try call my cousin but we don't make contact, then muy uncle Diego went to saw him. More later all my uncles arrived my house and I stay in the living to the morning when I went to sleep again.

This is my experience with the awful night ... this is all, I see you the next post
