my experience using blogs in the English class

well I have to say that in the beginning I don´t like write in a blog, because my English was so bad and especially writing. But now I think that it´s so funny because it was a good experience to learn and develop my ability, beside I could know the live and thoughts of my classmates, and I discovered that they are great people.
In the future I would like that beside to write, we could practice about the talking, that is to say, more interaction between the student and people who talk English. Even post in real bloggs.
I think that the topics to write was a little boring because we must to write and many times we don´t have inspiration so that fact was horrible.
Any way, I think that write help us to become better.
I would like write about new places and new people who know, beside, activities interest for me, because I think that It could help me to interact in English with other people.
Finally I just want to say: thank you for teach me, because I think that my English has been get better.
I hope in the future that this subject help to others people too.

my cellphone

I would like to say that my favorite piece of technology is my cellphone, I´d have a lot of them but I love my cellphone today, I use my cellphone to do everything because is portable and I can use it in any place. I use my cellphone all the days, to call my family and friends, to surf in internet, to pick photos, check the time, and many things. I like it because it´s so beautiful, portable and useful.

I think that my life without my cellphone would be shut out, even boring so I can´t imagine my life without it.
I think that the technology has become an indispensable object of our life, so we should be caution.

The past semester was great for me because was my first year in the university so I was so happy and excited.

 The worst that happen to me this semester is my bad grade in statistics, because is one of my favourite branch, but really I did´nt study.

 However, the time passed and still I not study for statistics and the teacher say that the next test will be the next Wednesday and I was so hopeless so I did star to study a lot for get a great grade

So I stared to study since past Thursday and I learn so much, but this Monday the teacher suspend the class and beside suspend the test. That fact give me happiness and sadness at the same time, because the past weekend I could´nt went to my home: Los Andes, because I prefer stay in Santiago studying and for that reason I did´nt see my family, but for other side I could study and when I have to give the test I would know all the content. 

the places that I would like to visit some time in my life

Hello,

Today I am going to write about the places that I would like to visit some time in my life:

First I will begin with Peru and Cuzco, one of the most beautiful places in the world made by the man to worship Gods, so I know that this place is a temple for these people and is sacred.

Second, I would like to visit Torres del Paine in my own country, because I think that it is a magic place and in addition I believe that it is a great place to meet interesting people who like the adventures like me.

Third: Venice, just because I think that it is a very romantic place and I would like visit it with my boyfriend and take advantage to visit all Europe, go over the classical cities with all the history behind, and eat many kinds of food.

Fourth, I will be enchanted to see the Northern Lights and stay in this place, drink a cup of milk and thaw marshmallow in a nice cabin with a beautiful fireplace.

I think that more than all these places, I would like to visit India and know the culture and way of life of all these people, Know if they really practice yoga and meditation, and know the total different form they see life.

Finally I believe that travelling is going to be my favorite form to live life. 

Mapuches

Mapuches are native people who are in the Chilean territory since a long time before the Spaniard conquered South America. These people were very dangerous and warlike so it was so difficult for the Spaniard to conquer them. However they did it in most of the Chilean territory and for that reason the Mapuches are just in the region of the Araucanía.

The culture of these people is base in this language that is the Mapudungun and is just oral because we can´t write in Mapudungun. In addition they have a ritual which name is Machitun and is used to call the rain and to treat the sick, beside they have a social organization based on the family, they believe in the old spirits and their ancestors.

Now, they are in the IX Region and they have many problems because they demand shore that the state of Chile doesn´t want to deliver so now it exists a dispute for their rights.

my trip last summer

Today I´m going to write about my last trip last summer and all the adventures I got traveling.

The trip began in Los Andes and the sad farewell with my family and my boyfriend, but the sadness was overcome when I arrived to Chiloé. Days before it was the party of the moon and the island was a dissaster, also we stayed in the same camping of the party so all the people were drunk. Everybody was dancing too, and we were very surprised because people were so irresponsable with the other and with themselves, and the worst was that we didn´t have water. But then all was better because we went to Cole-Cole a small locality with beautiful scenery I think the most beautiful that I've ever seen before. From Cole-Cole we travelled to Castro, when the rain forced us to search for lodging and we had to go to a gym where we just slept one nigth. We travelled arround Frutillar and Osorno to pass to Argentina (Bariloche) and we met a Mr. that gave us lodging and food, He was really nice. Then we travelled to El Bolsón a place of Argentina that is very very "Hippie" because all people went making handcraf and playing music and dancing, but we just wanted to return so taked us our things and went to road to return to Chile... my great country.

what kind of thigs culd make you feel great

I’m going to talk about the more important things for me and that thing is feeling good. Being happy is the most important in the word, but actually people in general feel so sad, sick and depressed, because the pace of life is so fast and no one worries about their welfare, although no one knows what makes them feel good so, I’ve searched many forms to feel good and found things like food, sports, music and time just for myself. I found interesting things like the chocolate of course, and I discovered that if you eat black chocolate is so good for your health because calories help you to regulate the discharge of the blood flow in the brain. This improves our capacity of concentration and gives us so much energy. Although mussels give us proteins to help our brain too, blue potato, coconut puts us so happy.

I discover too that the sports are fabulous and make that your body feels great...
personally I love every kind of sport, but more or less 5 years ago I knew the surf that consist in "run waves" and I think that is the sport more complicate and beautiful that I never knew. Basically you begin in nothing and it´s so difficult advance, but with very much time and perseverance you can became good like every sport I guess. 

Next I going to left 2 link with videos of surf
