My pets

Hi classmates, I am going to talk about the pets that actually live with me and the other pets that I´ve had.

The first animal that came to my home was “Canela”, she was a dog, a golden retriever, she was the best dog ever, because she was very friendly and smart and she lived for 9 years. When she was seven, she got sick with epilepsy and the she died.  During this time I had 3 hamsters, one was mine and the other two was of my sister.

Also in this time I had a rabbit and a chicken, the first called “Pancho” and the second called “pepe pollo”. The rabbit died when he was 5 years and when the chicken started to grown up we took him to the field and now he is a beautiful rooster.

Well, at that moment I don’t have a pet, but an aunt gave us a cat and we called them “Tomi”, he´s still living with me and sleeps in my bed every night. Then another cat came, but for his own, and we called him “Kaifas”, but one day he went to the street and never came back.

When the first rabbit died, my sister´s boyfriend gave to her another rabbit that she called “Juampi”, he was very friendly and cute, but he died like 2 weeks ago.

The last, is “Kazan”, he is a dog that came one year ago and is also a golden retriever, he is a crazy dog, the only thing that he wants to do is play all day and run. When “Juampi” was living they were best friend and they run together all day and in the night they sleep together.

Well those are all the pets that I´ve had. I leave you some photos. Also I would like that you tell me which have been your pets.   

Food I really like

I really like food, different kind of food, but my favorite is tacos and pizza. It is a tortilla, origin from Mexico and it´s filled with various mixtures, like tomato, meet, chicken, avocado, cheese and whatever you want to use. Also, as I said, I like pizza, it´s a food from Italy and it´s a flat round base of dough baked with tomato sauce and cheese and then you can put on whatever you want, I always prefer pepperoni and olives.

Around three years ago I stopped eating meet, so every time someone eat pizza with pepperoni I suffered a lot haha I love pepperoni, the other meets I didn´t like very much, so  I didn´t care. Now I returned to eat meet, so every time I can buy or make a pizza I put on it pepperoni.

Well, every year when my birthday comes, in my home you can choose what you want to eat, so I always choose tacos or pizza.

I also like other kinds of food, no just dishes, for example I love Arabic sweet deserts. In supermarket sold this deserts ans I always buy one when I go there and if I have money. 

 

MY BEST HOLIDAY

I don’t know if I have a favorite holiday, because I have enjoyed all of them. That´s why I am going to tell you about my last holiday, specifically about my last trip.

This summer, me and my dad had planned to travel somewhere, we finally decide go to “Isla de Chiloe”, so we invited to my sisters and one of them wanted to go with us.

The three of us started in mid-February to travel in my dad´s car, we do it all night and in the morning we had arrived to Frutillar, there we got off the car and we walked around the town, it was very beautiful and small.

After that we went to a fishing village and then we went to Puerto Varas and had lunch and in the afternoon we slept in LLanquihue Lake.

At night we arrived to Puerto montt and there we passed the night and in the morning we started travelling to Chiloe. We crossed to the island in a boat and there we started to travel all the big island and the littles Island next to the big.

We stayed there for 2 weeks, specifically in Castro city, because is in the middle, so from there we went to the other places.

I loved this trip, because all the island and the south of Chile is very beautiful, I have always like the south, the place I couldn´t say what place I liked more in the island, because each one have a special thing, for example Cucao Lake, Ancud, Achao Island and others.  Also the people are very nice, we met a lot of “chilotes” and one of them said: “First I am chilote, then I am Chilean”.

Well, I really enjoyed this trip, so I totally recommended you.  

A country I´d like to visit

I always have wanted to visit all the countries of Latin America, so I’ll visit each one of them.

Five years ago, I went to Brazil and Argentina, so now I want to visit Bolivia. Last summer I wanted to go there with my friends and we planned the entire trip, even we bought the passages and three days before we had a problem and we couldn´t go.

For this reason I would like to go there this vacation. My university´s friends also want to go, therefore we have been planning the trip; the things we would like to do and the places we would like to know. Principally I want to visit the jungle and see the monkeys, there is a park called “Madidi” where there are a lot of kind of jungles animals, the problem is that we want to travel on February and on that date is the Bolivian winter, so we could have problems on the way.

I just like to go on holiday, I wouldn´t like live there or study there, maybe work, who know.

Well, this is my next destinations, what´s yours? 

Finally the last blog!!

Hi classmates, this is the last blog of this semester  and I`m going to tell you how was my expierence writing the blogs.

I am almost sure that I never wrote in english more than a few words, so at firts it was difficult to me, beside there were many things I did not know about gramar. Today I think that writting blogs is a little easier, but I still have some complications. I think that the difficulty depends on the topic.

Every week I read the comments of my classmates, also my professor comments. The majority of the comments did not matter in my improvement, some of the professor's comments were useful, for example, I used to write “i” instead of “I” and the professor corrected me that and now I never forget that.

I don`t know what else we could write, maybe, as we write every week, we could write about what we do during the week. But I don`t know, there are a lot of topics to write about.

I realy feel that now I`m better writing blogs, but that`s what I feel, I don`t know if this is true and the only way to know this is that the profesor evaluates me with a 7. jejeje

My big dreams

Hi friends again, todays I’m going to talk about the topic: My big dream in life.

I am not completely sure of which is my dream in life, that`s because I think that I don`t have one in specific, but I think that I probably have two, which I remember at this moment. One of those I would like to do by my own, but for the other one we have to do it with very much people.

One of these has a personal nature; I would like to travel around the world, to visit multiply countries to know the place and the landscapes, also I would like to do that because I would like to know different cultures and many persons.  In relation to this, I think that it is not possible to realize it, because I don`t have enough time, neither money and I really don`t know if someday I will have some of those. But I will try, with all my heart, to visit many countries as I can.

My second dream is, though it`s the last year of my life, to live in a socialist world. I know this is a slow process, but I believe or rather I know that this is totally possible and I am going to do everything I can to help to that happens.

My sad life after the strike

Hi friends, today I going to talk about how I feel right now, which is related to what I did during the strike, actually what I did not.

Every week I thought: this week I will read, I don´t know, for example two texts at day. As the weeks were passing my thinking was changing, it was no longer “I will read”, it was “I have to read” or “I have to read the texts or I will die”.

Anyway, I came back to class and I read a minimum of texts, so I´m totally stressed and I regret for not reading during the strike, especially for not read History (there are many many texts :c).

But it doesn´t matter, I trust in myself and in my abilities, so I´m sure that I will pass all my courses with good grades, but it doesn´t mean that I will be stressed until the exams finish.

Well, that´s my sad story, so if you have a summary of the texts please give them to me (jejeje) and I give mine to you.

An expert on my field

Hi again, I going to talk about a person/expert on my field, I knew about him in psychology class and he is Max Horkheimer.  Actually I don´t admire him, he's obviously an intelligent person, but I don´t know much about him or his work as to say that.

However, I going to write a little about him. Horkheimer was born in Germany on 1895 in a Jewish family. He was a philosopher and sociologist, and in 1930 he became part of Frankfurt school. He is known because of his work on critical theory of this school. In Frankfurt he met Theodor Adorno and together write “The Dialectic of Enlightenment” (1947), one of their most important works. Another of his most important work was “The Eclipse of Reason” (1947) and “Between Philosophy and Social Science" (1930–1938).

He died in Nuremberg on 1973, but he left a legacy, the critical theory, and according to Larry Ray it has "become one of the most influential social theories of the twentieth century”.

My vacations on summer 2015

I have been saving money for a year to carry out an organized plan with my friends. The aim was to travel outside Chile to go to Bolivia. To achieve this, I worked at a chocolate store for a few months, then I had to quit to prepare myself for the PSU. After taking the PSU , I started working on a personal venture with a friend. The business consisted in selling mineral water bottles, however, just minutes before making the trip there was a problem, hence the trip was canceled.

 Since we didn’t go to Bolivia we decided to invest the money to make a trip within the country, which is less expensive and closer to home, with the idea to have ​​fun as well. For that, we went many times to the beach; first we went to Algarrobo with school friends; Then, Valparaiso with other friends and I finally went to the south, specifically to the island of Chiloe, trip that I made with my dad and my little sister.

I do not regret not going to Bolivia, because I enjoyed every trip I had, both with friends and with my family.

a photograph I like

Hi friends, today i going to talk about this photo, I don’t know who took it, because I took it from internet and I think it was created on a computer program, but the picture represent something I would like to do and is travel around the world.

The photo shows a world map and the flags of every country and I chose it because I would like to know every country of this map. First of all I would like to travel around Latin America and then go to the rest. It has always been my dream, so that’s why I chose this picture. But in this time it is very difficult to realize my dream.

Well, that’s my favorite picture at the moment.  I would like to know what is yours, so leave your comment and tell me what is your favorite picture at the moment!

Sociologist as an Artist.

Hi again. Today I going to talk about a topic: The Sociologist as an Artist.

I think that a sociologist is not just a scientist, is also an artist because when they have to investigate something they don´t have to put facts or statistics previously made on a paper, it is more than that, they have to create, have to use their own ideas to analyze something that is already done or something they will do.

Other thing that I think is that the work of a sociologist is not static, I mean that they don’t have to keep just with the information, they have to think and with that renovate or create something new. And that’s why I think that a sociologist is an artist and not just a scientist.  

Well that's my perspective, it is not the true, maybe you think different. So I would like to know what do you think about this topic. 

my favorite piece of technology

Hi again, today i going to talk about my favorite piece of technology. I don´t have a lot of technological things, actually I just have an old notebook (like a laptop) and a cellphone. However one of these is my favorite and is the notebook. I´ve had for three years, but now it is not working well. I use it almost every day, for example to study, to do work or just for watch movies. I like it because is very useful, if I had not bought it, I would have to go to the library for looking for information to do my homework and I would lose a lot of time. That’s why I like it. But like I said before, my notebook it's not working very well, so eventually I´ll have to buy another. Well, that’s my favorite one… What´s yours?

   

my pets

Hi friends, today i going to write about my pets. When i was a child i never had a dog or a cat or any pet and i always wanted one.

Then Canela died (when she was 9 years old) and for last Christmas my dad gived to me and my sisters a new dog and we called him Kazan… he is the craziest dog i have ever met. So now I just have Kazan and Tomy, they are the best pets and I love them very much.
