My favourite country

Which country I like visited??? Mmmm...very complicate...I would like to visit all world!!! But I think that is not possible because I don´t have money. The only possibility that I was win the "Kino" but is not very probable bacuse I don´t play the "Kino". Than I will have to choose one country and that county is India. I love India and I don´t care if that is a very poor country because I think that is wealth is in their culture. I like everything off their culture, their religion´s, their food...
I would like go with all my family because their are lover of other cultures in spetial the culture that was very strange for occidental people, spetialy my father.
When I was there I would like to visit all the religius temples and visit the Indo and Ganges river´s and dress myserlf whit tipical indian clothers.
I don´t now why attract to me so much this country, but I realy thing I was Indian in my pass life because I feel myself very close to this country, and I always like exotic things and exotic people much more than my own culture. Actually I thing that nowing other cultures is enriching and it fills your spirit.

My favourite photography

I never liked photography´s, especially photography´s by myself because I am not very photogenic, but I have a few pictures by my family or my pets that I like. I also like pictures of landscapes or place that I have visited because bring to me many good memories. I think the pictures is important becuse help us to remember happy moments and the life is so ephemeral that sometimes is good to return and rememeber good times.
Since my daughter was born I have a fanatic of pictures of her because I want to have all her stages of growht because baby´s grow very fast.
Of all her photegraphy´s that more I like is of when she was born.
She was very very little and fragil and she sleep all day, she sleep 18-20 hour for day. So in the photo that they took, she appears sleeping.
My sister-in-law took it, when she has just been born and we was in the hospital. I was in recupeation´s room and I didn´t see her in that moment, but me family said to me that she cry a few second´s and then she sleep, she did that all the time. Now is different, she play all day!

Field trip

My last field trip was in San Pedro, one month behind, whit my “conservation of environment in degraded area” class and the teaches of this class Rodrigo Vargas.
We were to this place because we must know the reasons of degradation of areas and to learn how we can do to improve degraded areas.
We learn many technologies and instrument and measures of conservation of the degraded soils. We learned to do “ditches of infiltration” and “channels of desviation”, and it was something very educational because it something practical that can be useful always.
In this “terreno” I spend a very good time because I love to climb hills and be in contact with Nature.
In the night when we returned of the area of study, my classmate preparing a barbecue but I don’t like meat so I did not eat.
I really passed a very good time but I was a bit worried because we returned on sunday and I was very tired and on Monday I had a test of other class and I could not study.
In the beginning I don’t wont to go because I don want to leave my little baby and I was very sad, but my mom call me and say to me that my daughter was very good. In two weeks we have a other “terreno” and I hope learn many things and spend a very good time again.

My favourite piece of tecnology….

My favourite peace of technology is …..mmmmm…I don’t know….I don really like the technological things.
I think that exist many technological object that can make your life too easy and make to shorter the times and the connection with people is easier because you can talk with somebody who lives to the other side of the world instantaneously.
But all this technology is a double edge weapon because the new virtual relations create a distance between people.
Now you can’t live without technology, everybody have a television or cell-phone or microwave oven or computer, and the requirement of the school or University or job make do you need this technology.
We are very dependent of this technology and we can leave with out it and every time we want more and we forget the simple things.
But if I have to choose a piece of technology I choose the cell-phone because some time I need speak very urgent.
The computers is very necessary to do everything and I don’t now what can I do with my life whit out computers, a would be ruined!!!

My favourite moovie

My favourite movie is "Brave Hart".
I see this film many many times, but I see it for the first time almost ten years behind, when premiered it.
This story speacks about a historical personage, sir William Wallace, he was the one who drove Scotland to the freedom.
Brave Hart is a movie based on true story.
The story is set in Scotland in fourteen century wen Scotland was opressed for England and his King, Eduard I of England. This King was very evil and his treeting very bad the people of Scotland.
The figth between william Wallece started wen some soldiers of england kill his beloved wife, so he kill all the soldiers and the battle between Scotland and England begins.
In the first time the anger for the murder of his love was the cause of this war, but then he figth for his countryman.
At the end he was murdered for the King Eduard I because he was betrayed for some Scotland nobles.
But even so the Scotland warriers could win the battle and win thir freedom.
Even much of movie es envented, I like the movie very much.

In the sentimantal area I dont now I dont think in that things to because I have my daughter now and is only what I need.
I like make travel, I like to know the world, because is to big and is to beautiful and we have to many things for knowing and many cultures of that we can learn.

the English and me

Hello, today I´ll write about when I start to learn Inglish.
Everything is start when I was very yung, in the school and my teacher teach me songs in english, I learn very fast because I have good ears and I like to sing, but I don´t understand what the song say.
When I grown a little a see much movies with subtitles and I listen when actors speak in english and I read en spanish and I learn many words in english.
Then in my second year in University I had English I with teacher Simon and he have a good metology to teach and I think I have made progress.
I think english is very important in the laboral fild because the influence of globalization is very big and if I wont to be a geographer I have to learn to speak and talk an write in english because the most important Geography publication is not in spanish, is in english.
I like very much the lenguages and I like to learn to speak in many more lenguages like french, german and japanese.
the lenguages is very importan and if you don´t now lenguage you are very limitated in many filds.
I can speak Italian very well, (I live in Italy sexteen years) and sometieme I teach Italian when I need money, but this lenguages in not to to important like english, because enlish is spoken in hole world.

Desert cities are living on borrowed time

the report proposes the Sahara deserts become the powerhouses of the next century, capturing the world's solar energy and potentially exporting electricity across continents. Sahara could, with today's technology, generate enough electricity for the whole world.
there is a problem: The rising water tables beneath irrigated soils are leading to more salinisation, and for example the Tarm river basin in China, it says, has lost more than 5,000 square miles of farmland to salinisation in a period of 30 years.
Many country have used water from the desert very unwisely.
By the end of the century rainfall drop 10-20% and the heat and lower rainfall are being compounded by the melting of glaciers in mountainous regions.
Development in the next 100 years is largely contingent on what happens to the climate.Deserts are threatened as never before by climate change, overexploitation of water and salinisation and we risk losing not only astounding landscapes and ancient cultures but also wild species that may hold keys to our survival."

I STUDY GEOGRAPHY BECAUSE...

Initially I wont study History, or History of Art, but I do not reach the score, so I choose Geography because is a career not very known, but with many possibilities in the work field, and I have two brothers, one is an Arquitect and the other is a Engineer in Construction and they said to me if I study Geography later they were give me work, besides I love a Physical Geography.
In 10 years I see my self working in the south of the country helping to plan better the distribution of the resources of the territory because the indiscriminate felling of trees is killing the Beauty of Nature.
I think the planet is condemned, but we have to respect the Mother Nature and love her, so, the Geographer can show how can do the better thing for her.
Geographer need now better our country, and it is necessary update knowledge, and this is possible if wee travel across this country.
My favourite subject is physical Geografhy, and in particular I like to study the movement of subsoil because on it depend the volcano activities or earthquakes and it is possible to save to communities and many people that of another form can be damaged.

I WOULD LIKE TO NOW...(sorry simon I have to do this port in my house...i suppose it the same)

Thereare meny characters that Y would have liked or Iwould like to know....historical characters like Julio Cesar, Cleopatra or Napoleon....Philosophical characters like Socrates, Platon, Goethe or Kant...peace characters...such us Ghandi, Martin Luther King, DalaiLama.
There a many famous characters I would liked to know, most of theme do not exist, but exist things they did.
That is why i like them , because they do meny important thinks and changed history (actually my realy passion is history...), and thay have a gread minds, and intelligence and harts, and they are not fear to confront difficulties.
But the first characters that come to my mind when someone ask me:Who would like to know???. I think inmediately in Ghandi.
Ghandi was a great lawyer grown in Great Britain, but he was indian and when he come back to India he see a lot injustice and dscrimination by british people to indù people. So Ghandi leave his employment lawyer and he will dedicate his life to defend indian`s right. He had a great spirit and he could dominate a nation like Bretain and make free India.
i like him because I dont care leave the luxury and live whith poor people and protest whith NO-VIOLENCE.
If I could speak whith him i would ask him he told me as I fight for my ideals without fear.

BBC Learning English

After see a BBC Learning English I think this is a very interesting end complete web site, but it´s to much extensive to view it in 30 minutes.
So I only could see a News English because I throught is the most interesting to see.
In News English I found many news around the world, even I found a news of Chile about Pinochet dead.
Besides reed a news in english you can listen the news end this way you can see a news and, at the same time, you can read a news so you can know how as the words are pronounced properly.
This method is very efective to learn english because you can supplementing the hearing with the ear.
Finally I think visiting the BBC Learning English is very necesary if you wont learn English in your home or you can´t pay a english course or if you wont pass a Simon English course, jajja.
So I think I practice in my house because I like listen end read at the same time, like when you see a moovie with subtitles.

correction

I don´t have favourite english Group, or song, but simon recommends a and this song is "murder on the dancefloor" of Shopie Ellis Bextor, the song is very happy to dance at a party. The first time I hear this song today.
This is a part of the song

activity 3

I decided to criticize a Nataly Blog, because she is my friend en I think she is not mad.
First of all, when I income to her blog I think that has a few colors and I dont like that because I like a colours because the colours bring joy and Natalie´s blog don´t make me feel joy.
Also I think Natalie´s blog said no much about herself, because it´s (the blog) not have a picture of her or her loved people, like her boyfriend, her family, her friend or her pets.
But I understand that becuase Natalie is not much expressive and generaly she do not show her feelings, but ths is not important to me beciuse I like her as she is.

My favourite song

I always liked "Queen", they have a very good music and the songs lyrics is very inspiring.
One of my favourite songs is "Somebody to love" because although it seems a song a little negative, I think that song reflects what feel many people, feel a little lost in the word and perhaps whithout meaning in life.
So, the song says, the most inportant in life is have someone to love, but almost always, we search someone who love us.
Any way, this is the song.
Each morning I get up I die a little,
can barely stand on my feet
Take a look in the mirror
and cry
Lord, what you're doing to me
I have to spend all my years in believing you
But I just can't get no relief
Lord
Somebody oooh somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
I work hard
everyday of my life
I work till I ache my bones,
at the end
I take home my hard earned pay all on my own
I get down
on my knees
And I start to pray
'Til the tears run down from my eyes Lord somebody
oooh somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love? ...
Every day
I try and I try and I try
But everybody wants to put me down
They say I'm going crazy,
they say I got a lot of water in my brain Got no common sense,
I got nobody left to believe Yeah
yeah yeah yeah
Oooh Somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
Got no feel I got no rhythm ,
I just keep losing my beat
I'm OK I'm alright
I ain't gonna face no defeat,
I just gotta get out of this prison cell
One day I'm gonna be free Lord
Find me somebody to love,
find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love, ... Find me, find me, find me

After six I like wolk and visit craft fairs and i like one fair in particular because it sells many tipe of books end very cheap and I always buy strangers books, for example this summes I buy a book about Indian Mithology.
After that, in the night I like to go to eat somethig tasty, end my boyfrien like to go to a "Cuernavaca" bicause he like to eat good meet, but this is not good for me because I dont eat meet and I always go to some other place.
I realy like Viña del Mar because is small, fresh, and beauty all year and is near Santiago end you can go any day if you wont to escape of Santiago.
