Santiago

Most people said that they hate Santiago… but I think that is a very several expression, because Santiago like many others cities in the world have good and bad things. When you go to other places like a tourist, maybe you can appreciate the architecture, the parks, the people and all this kinds of things and many times we forget that our city also have all this things. But of course that not everything is good, I think that Santiago its beautiful because you can see the mountain and because there are a lot of interesting places. I think that the area of the Mapocho river is very nice, but it’s very contaminated like all the city and this maybe subtract the attractive of the zone. I dislike the pollution of the city, I think that this is very bad for the people that lives here, I think that we should valorate Santiago and not always trying to compare ours, with other cities like Roma, San Francisco, etc, because those are different cultures and each one have beautiful and horrible things. Finally, if I was a tourist in Santiago, I wanted to know the center, the market, the parks, the shops, the museums and galleries of art, etc. In my opinion the Parque Bustamante, the Parque Forestal, the area of Recoleta, the central market, the memories museum, among others, are very good tips to get in to consideration at the moment of traveling into Santiago (: 

Wikileaks

I think that Wikileaks is a very important case because we can see how a person has revealed supposed secrets of the State in a web page and later the most important persons of the politics and other areas are absolutely impress with the revelation of the reporter Julian Assange and all the world has been shaken  whit this. But I think that this its not the most important, I think that the main point in this case is all the scandalous that this has cost in many areas like the international relations between countries or in many areas of the politics. I believe that Julian Assange is not guilty of the crime he is being accused of, because I think that its part of the liberty of expression make public diferents types of information and  think that it not fair accuse to someone for that because this only harm to the politics in high charge. I think that Ecuatorians were right at offer him political assignment to Assange because wikileaks was like a world scandalous and maybe they like many other people also think that Assange is not guilty and he is in all his rights to be in liberty. 

Blog!

I think that having a blog on this subject is a good idea because you can learn to write in a more entertaining and you can essay every time. Before this I never had a blog and I don’t know anything about this. When in the first class we had to create the blog I had no idea about how do it. But this experience has been enjoyable and makes it not so boring to learn English. Also I think that this kind of essay improve your English because you are constantly practicing and trying to write the best possible as you can, but I think that this only works if you really work and try to learn and write because if you use the translator all the time you don’t learn and you just copy the words and that not all the time is right because the translator not using times and the phrases sound inconsistent. Finally I think that blog is a good tool if properly used and an entertaining way to learn English but sometimes it can also be boring if you have to write about topics that you hate or even because you don’t know always what write about something. 

Regards!! <3

Really I don’t hate any season because I think that all had good and bad things. For example in winter the mountain look very beautiful, in the beginning of autumn the trees are beautiful with a lots of colors and in summer you can enjoy the beach. But I think that the best season is the spring, is beautiful, all the nature is at its most beautiful because after the winter and autumn when everything loses its shine the flowers re-bloom, the trees bear fruit and all looks like new, I love it <3 but!! Bad is that I´m very allergic =(!! And I suffer a lot in this time =( I don’t know particularly what gives me hay fever, but I think that could be the pollen or something like that. Anyway this it’s my favorite season, because it’s beautiful, romantic, and everything looks pretty <3 Also in this time I go to walk or enjoy a scenery because like in winter or autumn its cold you can´t go to many places and really enjoy it. Also I feel more comfortable because I can use dress more beautiful because in winter with warm clothing I don’t feel very comfortable and really I hate be very warm. But i think that each one of the seasons have an special thing that the other don’t have, and we can enjoy all of them! (:

Really I dont have a favorite place in the world, I think that are many beautifuls places and everyone have an special think or someting that you can enjoy. But as the task is about one place, I will choose the house of my aunt in the “Cajon del Maipo”. The house is wooden and stone and the courtyard is very big, with a lot of trees vegetation and also you can see the mountains <3 I like this place because is away from the city and there the nature is really beautiful, I love the landscape and you can enojoy only with the nature :) also i enjoy the silence of the place because the sounds that you heard are the wind called “Raco”, the birds or thing like that. The main reason that i like this place is because there lives my aunt and my cousins and when I go I can play and enojoy with they, and also because I go there when i was very stressed and my aunt that study chinese medicine makes me acupunture and I return to Santiago completely renewed jajaja :) well, i hope that you can enjoy the “cajón del maipo” someday because is a beautiful place and is not so far!! :) Regards!!

Boris Cyrulnik

Today I´m going to tell you about Boris Cyrulnik. He is a jewish psychiatrist that was born in  Burdeos in 1937. Cyrulnik suffered the death of his parents in a Nazi concentration camp he managed to escape when he was only 6 years. One of the major contributions of this author is on the concept of resilience associated with psychology. In general Cyrulnik said that the resilience is always assign a meaning to the trauma or failure or indesead situation, whatever it is. If there is no resilience sense, there is confusion. Is like the metamorphose art of pain to make sense, is the ability to be happy even when you have wounds in the soul, he said that “A happy childhood does not guarantee a happy adult life. Not an unhappy childhood condemns us to a miserable life”. You can start bad, but if during your life you are surrounded by affection, you  can have a happy life because they help the process of resilience and overcome difficulties. I like him because I think that this theory is very interesting and his books are very entertaining and also interesting. I think that it’s a good input for the psychology and I hope that you can read his books someday :) Regards!

Egypt!

When I was a child I was obsessed with Egypt! I dont know why, but I just wanted to go and know that country :) I like very much the monuments of Egypt and always I felt very curious about the culture and specially for the past of this country, i have many books and figures of Egypt because i was like a fanatic! jajajaj. Now I´m not so interested or informed like before but yet i wanna know this place one day. I know that is a country with a culture very different compared with the culture of this way of the world, but i think that its very interesting, has many misterious in this building and has a past with great importance  for the history and the human, because has ancient architecture like pyramids and sphinxes and hieroglyphic writing where is counted many stories about the past and about this season. I like very much know this place!! I want to know the monuments, the culture, I think that its very different and I think that would be very entertain and interesting take a trip to this place! (: But I don’t wanna live there, I just want to go and know the place or maybe go to vacations and enjoy but only that because I think its very far for live now jajaj :) I just hope I can go one day! =)   Regards!!
