This is the end

There's so many ways to learn english. You can talk, write or listen. But if you don't do it frequently, you will never get this language. You have to practice as much as you can. With our blogs, we can practice english every monday, writting about interesting stuffs, like music movies, holidays and many other things.

I think I have learned with this method, because I went to every class of english (?). There is some aspects that I don't really do fine, like speaking. It's so hard, because it's make me feel ashamed. I think I talk in english like a monkey. To do it well, I have to practice and be a little more corageous. Some day I will speak english like a true american.

The best thing I do is to understand when I read something. It's easy for me, because I play a lot of video games in english. I can listen and understand too, thanks to the anglo music.

English is very important today, especially for journalist. If you have to go to another country to interview somebody, you need to know how to speak english. The peolple in USA don't speak spanish, so you have to learn their language.

Well, this is our last post in the blog and it's make me happy. Blogging was necesary to learn english, but also was a little bit tedious. Fortunately it's the end of this blog.

I will post you a song that talks about a final situation, like the our english blogs.

Good bye.

Cidade de Deus

I started to watch movies about 3 years ago. Before that I had only watched classics of children movies like Lion King, Toy Story or Space Jam. In that time I didn't see a lot of movies, because I thought that they were boring. Fortunately, I was wrong.

I don't know if I have a favourite movie, but I remember one that blows my mind. It's called "Cidade de Deus", that means "City of God" in portuguese. This movie is frome Brasil and was directed by Fernando Meirelles The movie is about a group of childs in Rio de Janeiro that grows and take different paths. The history of Ze Pequeno (Leandro Firmino) and Buscapé (Alexandre Rodrigues) are mixed through the movie.

I loved this movie because of many reasons, First, I love Brazil. I' ve never been there, but I wish to come someday. I love the beaches, the sun, the women and the music of Brazil. I think the plot of the movie goes on in a perfect way, mixing a lot of characters and making a very good story. It's important to say that this movie is based in real life episodes. Also, the photography and the soundtrack of the movie are simply amazing.

I know that this movie isn't the best movie of the entire universe, but I love it. You have to watch it right now!

The power of the vote

I voted in the last election. Also, I voted in the election of 2009, when Piñera won. I think I have the obligation to vote, because I believe in a society where the people have the power to take all the decitions. In this moment, we only can vote to remove the politicians. You can also talk about strikes or that things, but, in this context, the vote is more importante, because the politicians don't have the total control of the people choices.

In last weekend elections I void mi vote. I live in Santiago and I vote there, so the options for the major were n't too much. There was Carolina Tohá, Pablo Zalaquett and Waldo Mora. The first one isn't of my total liking. I think she talks a lot and do nothing. Zalaquett like me less than Tohá. In his last period in Santiago he didn't great things, at least for my neighborhood. And Waldo Mora is a man that loves the money. A friend that knows him, told me that. So, I decided to don't give my vote.

For the city councilor I voted for Leonel Herrera, a player of Colo Colo in the 1991's era. I voted for him because that reason hahaha.

Well, I think that our actual politic system suck, because the people don't have many options to make a decition. The politicians are always the same, all of them friends or familiars. While we vote, they eat a good barbeque together.
