correction of one post from last semester

BBC learning


This side is excellent, Not only helps to improve the grammar and pronunciation of the English language, since it allows hear that there are examples, but also allows you to read, watch and listen to issues of interest that often can only be seen by television.

I can to find every theme, from science to entertainment, and I can find articles, presentations and also videos of news that were published in the television.

I Liked too much, I didn´t knew this website, in special I liked that is in the section science/nature, it called “First contact to earthquake zone” (by Richard Black, Environment correspondent, BBC News website, Vienna.).This project made 8 perforations to crust, for to install a series of sensors movement, which would allow developing an early warning system to alert the population of possible earthquakes and tsunamis as the Sumatra in December 2004. I believe that is very interesting for all the people, especially for those who live in areas of subduction plate, Because there is a danger that this type of occurrence of natural disasters.

My favorite Photo

Photo taken in August 2007

The fact is that there are many pictures that I like a lot, next to my family, friends of the university, college and life. The photos have that quality even though it sounds a little repetitive, capturing moments, and frozen in time because I do remember great moments of my life, that does not necessarily have always been happy, but also sad that there have been moments to remember me do think that I am fortunate as to have a wonderful family, as the picture that I'm showing, which reflects the primary motivation of my life, my family, I love spending time with them and be able to share those things that you can not touch, can only be felt in a certain place and time, are moments that you never forget (unless I with Alzheimer's disease). and when I look at their strange pictures and feel close to me.

the last field trip in Alhué

This month we have more field trips than at any other time in our passage by the university, but the trip was the last of Alhué village, a commune is located south of the metropolitan area circumscribed by the sixth region of the Bernardo O’Higgins Liberator, was really quite tiring for me this trip, because I had to get up the sun was just emerging with a group of peers to be able to count birds at various points around the river of the same name, that we were among the 8 and 12 of the day, then had to collect bugs from trees, then collect samples of tiny creatures from the bottom of the river, then up in the afternoon to hear a herbarium of plants instead, that we were all day, finishing or even very late at night, then get to the school where we were staying to cook for all my colleagues and prepare lunch the next day, actually finished very tired and I think they were not the only one, I take this opportunity to apologize for my absences to classes, and that is that even if had the intentions of coming to class, could not wake up.

the technology & me

My favourite piece of technology is the computer because I can make all I want, from listening to music, watch movies, check my mail, work or even make purchases, all without having to move of my chair. The true is that I don’t remember when I started to use the pc, but my first experience whit the technology was when my father gift me a “Atari” game, wouuaw, I was very happy, then I played every day and as I was the only one who had Atari, my friends visited me for to play pacman, and spider man. Now I must to use the pc, thought I don’t know very much because I am not an expert in computer, because I do not understand how it works, but when something does not wonder what those who know more than me. Generally I am every day sitting in front of the computer, for study or wasting time on internet sites, I am sure that I don’t can stay without pc by long time, and it sounds funny but it's true I happen to like what happens to alcoholics in rehabilitation, I need to revise my mail or other sites.

Turtles Can Fly

The first time I saw this movie surprised me the harshness that sometimes seems so distant to our Western world, and yet so real in the day to day in a village ravaged by war. I was alone watching the movie, tears rolled on my face and I felt completely distraught. This film is set in a small town inhabited by Kurds, somewhere on the border between Turkey and Iraq, in times before the U.S. invasion and the fall of Saddam Hussein. All the residents are children orphans, who gather mines to be sold in clandestine markets at very low prices, as we imagine many of them have been victims of these weapons, but for them, this work is something normal. It is noteworthy that the mutilations, product of the collection of mines are not fictitious. The protagonist of this story is a teenage boy, his nicknamed is Satellite, because his job is to install antennae to pick up the signal channels internationals, this work makes it stand out among his peers, earning respect and admiration. Satellite invents a lie, said that the war has begun, so that people flee to the mountains….
This film highlights the lesser known side of the U.S. invasion of Iraq.

More than Common Sense

"Common sense is not something rigid and stationary”, this article talk about as the common sense changed at different moments of the history, burning witches, a flat earth, eugenics, slavery. Now the society has a great problem, Less than a month ago the invulnerability and inviolability of unregulated global capitalism was common sense. But suddenly , What seemed to be a strong economy and impassable as a child who fell just beginning to walk, Bush was obliged to give explanations to calm the population. While the gravity of the crisis is clear, the financial crisis gives greats opportunities to lay out different visions of how they would tackle the situation at a moment when the nation is intently focused on politics, still in the debate that neither John McCain nor Obama really know what to do.

in my opinion outside of being a political debate that is a global crisis, therefore whoever wins the presidential elections in the country's north will trigger on my own economic future, because it seems common sense has not had very good results. It is hoped that the results are not repeated in the Great Depression.

The mystery of Stonehenge

Since ancient times, Stonehenge has not only attracted the attention of archaeologists and astronomers but also the admiration of visitors for its strange and amazing architecture. There is currently nothing in the world that can be compared in any way with this mysterious shrine, built with large rectangular stones called sarsens arranged in a circle, around this monolith had bluestones which had healing powers, as considered talismans. Some of the stories of how and who built this monument indicate that it was the same magician whom Merlyn move from Ireland to Wiltshire's famous blue stones, but this theory was rejected. undoubtedly one of the most accepted theory is that this place has to be used as a solar calendar, however everything is an enigma, one of the last excavations in 1964, just point out that this monument was used as a place for practice of multiple rituals. the fact is that we will never know the truth about this mysterious place.
