A country I would like to visit

Hi, everyone! Today I am going to talk about a place I always want to visit: the Basque Country or Euskal Herria (in native language). I don’t know if you heard about this place before, but, if you don’t, I can tell you that it comprises the autonomous communities of the Basque Country and Navarre in Spain and the Northern Basque Country in France.

I like this place for a lot of reasons. First, because they speak a language, the Euskara, that it is actually one of the oldest languages that people still use. It’s supposed that it exist before romans colonized Spain.

Second, because there is a lot of beautiful places, like the city of Bilbao or Pamplona, which mixes the Spanish culture with the Basque one. When I was there, I’d like to visit the The Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, and others parks, museums and restaurants, but the only thing I don’t want to do there it is go to the San Fermín Festival on Pamplona, because I think it is a horrible performance. 

I’d love to live in this Spanish region, because it is full of history, and they have a pretty interesting culture. I also like because my great grandfather come from this place, so it is part of my history too, and I‘d love to know more about it.

My Ideal Job

I had never thought about this before, so I’m not sure about what my ideal job would be. But I always like to research, so I’m considering working as a researcher in social sciences, and specifically in psychology. I don’t know if I can earn a good salary doing this, but I think it is pretty interesting, and will give you the opportunity of learning a lot of new and cool things all the time. I have always liked to do this kind of stuff, since I was in school, so I developed a lot of abilities that may help to do this job, like being a good reader.

The only problem with this job is that you need to have someone who sponsors your investigations, and there are not too many people or institutions in Chile that do that. So I will probably not make enough money if I only do this, so I have in mind to work as a clinical psychologist too.

The last one.

I can’t believe we are on our final session, it is happened pretty fast! At the beginning I do not enjoy stay at the University just for this Class, because I think it will be so hard and I will don’t understand anything. But when I realize it is a comfortable environment, I was relieved. So, in retrospect, I can say I enjoy write this blog more than expected, and know more about my likes and dislikes, because I do not have the chance of think about it often, and the blog make me think about it.
I think write this blog help me to improve my English, because write it is some of the hardest things to me on English, and because of that, I never try too hard. But the blog give me the choice (In fact, forced me) to do it, and I believe it really works.
Besides, I think write it is one of the most important things if you are learning a new language and I never practice before, because it is hard with forty five classmates, so I really appreciate that in this class, we are not too many. I must say that most of the topics are good, or at least, it is easy to write about them.
Finally, I can say that I think this is a good way to teach English, because you can learn how to handle many skills, and you can improve your vocabulary a lot. I really recommend a blog if you want to learn a little more of English.

I think that's all. So, Goodbye :D

My favourite book

Choose my favourite book it is hard, because I like a lot of books. But, I going to choose the George Orwell book, 1984. This book it is a dystopia, it is means thet tell us about an horrific future. I read it when I was on school, and when I start to read, I think it will be bored. But when I going forward, i really can not stop reading. It an amazing book, because, besides being very well written and keeps your interest on it; talk about a pretty interesting topic, and I love the way this book addresses this issue, because it is original and clear. After reading this book, my reality perception changes, because although it was written a long time ago, what it say is applicable for nowdays. The book it is about a men (Winston Smith), who is a disenchanted party member. He works for the Ministry of Truth rewriting old news which disagrees with current party thinking. He lives in what was Great Britain but is now part of the huge nation of Oceania. This nation is perpetually at war with either Eurasia or Eastasia. When Oceania changes its allegiance between these two nations all newspapers are altered accordingly, so that it appears Oceania is always at war with the same foe. But Winston does not agree with that, and he think he found someone like him. It is a girl (Julia), and they fall in love. They try t olive a different life, but they are constantly harassed by the “Big Brother” who knows and sees everything (like a God). Obviously I am not going to tell you the end, because I hope everybody read it.

The photograph I like the most

I took this photograph about four months ago, a Sunday morning on my house, when my mom was doing the housework. It is shows my dog, Tofi. Ride now he is about six moths, but when I took this picture, he has two months and it is really hard to take a photo of him, because he never stay quiet, and he was always chasing my mom, or biting anything; so when I saw him calm between the sheets, I immediately run for my camera and I get this beautiful picture.

I like it because my dog has an amazing expression on him eyes, and he look straight to the camera, and I took it in the accurate moment, because one second after i took the photograph, he hear something and he start to bark.

I think the picture have beautiful colors too, because the blue on the sheets highlights the brown color of my dog, and the right angle, because it looks like he was posing for the photo. I also like this picture because Tofi looks so cute, and ride now he do not look like that, so I enjoy remeber when he was a little dog.

Unfortunately I do not have many pictures of him, and he is on my grandparents’ house now, so I can not see him everyday. But when I miss him I saw this picture, and everybody on my house do the seem thing. Because we all love this photo.

The best day of my life.

The best day of my life was when I traveled to Buenos Aires, Argentina. It was when I was eleven years old, and I had never traveled by plane, so it was so exciting. My mom live there for two years, so she had a friend there who show us everything, and this is the best part, because there is a lot of intrestings stuff that travel agencies don’t show you, so I can see the “real” Buenos Aires, not the one for the tourist.

I remember I eat the best barbecue ever, and they made it on hot stones, and it was absolutely delicious. We wake up early everyday and we sleep for a few hours because we want to know everything. Obviously we have not enough time, but we know Caminito, La Bombonera, Luna Park, La casa Rosada, the Obelisco, Puerto Madero and a lot of other places I can’t remember ride now. Also we sail on the Rio de la plata, and we share a “mate” with the family of my mom friend, and I realized Argentine and Chilean families are pretty different in a lot of things.

I consider this trip so important because it was the first time I go to another country, and I stay in an elegant hotel. Besides, my mom always spoke a lot about Buenos Aires and was pretty cool see the places that she mentioned, and meet her friends. I hope someday come back there, because I think it is an amazing place.

My favourite piece of technology.

My favourite piece of technology is my computer. A computer is a programmable machine. This means it can execute a programmed list of instructions and respond to new instructions that it is given, in a few words.

I got one since I was a little girl (7 years old), but obviosly I change it pretty often. Actually there is two computers on my home.

I use it for a lot of things, like study, listen music, saw photos and visit web pages. I used every day, but for a half or an hour if I don’t have university papers or work to do on it.

I like it, because I believe it is pretty usefull, you can do a lot of intresting stuffs, and is amazing how it help you to do every days works, and to comunicate with a lot of people.

How would my life be without my computer? Probably I used my pen and notebook much more, and I can’t get all the information I need, because Internet give us a lot of information, and this information is not in any other place. I believe computer it is a great invention, and nowdays, absolutly essential for a lot of us.
