The blogging experience!


Hi! Today I am tolking abaut my blogging experience.

The blogging experience is new for me. I`m not a girl who like the tecnology, and the computers too much, I only used it for thing who are necesaries , and well for playing too. To have a blog is funny, but I think that is it too public, and I dont like that the people know many thing of me. Is like a diary, but anybody can see it, because of it I will not like write personal things of me, but I dont bother me have a blogg for my english class. Is a new kind of learning, much fanny and creative that the usual forms, like home work. Also we can interact whit ours classmates and see what they think about the same topic that I see.

The blogg is a funny way to lear more english, specially learn to write in english, improve the vocabulary, do it more fluid, and dont have so afraid to mistake. I am very happy whith how my english is better know, and specially how i can say what i want, with mistakes, of course, but i can do it better.

The bad thing of the blogg, is the hour when we do it, too late, and i dont like go home so late, but in general, is funny. Other bad thing of the blog is that i dont really know if I am doing it right, specially in the syntax of the phrases, the part what is more grammatical, also the word we need to know for ours career its very specify.

But how ever, do the blogg is much better than the regular class and methods of class, and I like it. It is more interactive and funny.

Machupichu!


I love this picture, because, was took it when we (me and my best friend) are in Machupichu in Perú. This picture was took it for my ex boyfriend, who wen too to travel with us. My best friend is Ariane and we went to visit the south of Perú and then we went to Bolivia, we are like sister, because we met sense we have like 10 years, and we are the best friends sense that, and always we are together in the sumer. This trip was in 2008, and we have a great time.

In this moment we are resting because we had raised the whole mountain to come at the entry of machupichu. I like it because we was so exited for visit Machupichu, and we walk so much. This picture represent a lot for me, in first place because I am with my best friend, second was took it for my ex boyfriend, and last we are in one of the most beatiful place that I visit.

Machupichu is amazing. Is a mystery how the people who live in that place, could bring the material to build the city, and upload to the montain. Also, the stones with that made the construcctions, they are not near to the place. Neither it is know who live in Machupichu, and for what, was the Incas, but what social class. The Archaeologists think that could be a summer house to the emperor, but nothing is sure about that, and the investigation is alway open.

I think too that the goberment of Perú dont put a limit, for the tourism, and is too much. They dont worry for the conservation of the place, only worry for the money. For example, a company of beer made a commercial in Machupichu, and broke a part of one of the place in Machupichu, or they extracted a clock, that it was in the central part, only for the helicopter of the president.

Ecuador!


The last summer I went to Ecuador, it was my favorite trip ever. I went with my boyfriend, my best friend and her boyfriend, who also is the best friend of my boyfriend. We are all friends.

This trip is especial for me, because, I visit another country, I love travel, I went with the peoples more important in my life, I had a great time and was the last trip with my boyfriend.

I travel for like a month, but I Stayed in Ecuador 3 weeks. We Started in Santiago and we took a plane to Arica. From there we cross the border with Perú in a bus, then to cross Perú and to got to our destination we took many, many and many other buses, for a long time. I think that to arrive to Ecuador we travel like 2 days. The first place where we arrive was Máncora, is a beach in Perú, and it is beautiful, I think that it is the most pretty beach in Perú, the sea is warm and the sand white. Then we cross to Ecuador and we went to Guayaquil, it is the second most important city of Ecuador, it is very beautiful, the arquitecture of its buildings, the people, is all magical. Then we went to the northem parte, for the coast, and we visit Montañita, the most top beach, Puerto López and Mompiche. In Puerto López we bump into 3 friends, it was very funny, and we drank many beer to celebrate, and in Monpiche we bump into 4 others friend again, and we could rent a house. Then we went to Quito, it is away from the coast, it is in the valley and the most amazing city who I saw, it is like Valparaiso, but, more beatiful. Then we knew a litle of the jungle, and then we came back.

Was wonderful knew Ecuador, I love erverything about this country.

Also you can subscribe in the to the fortnightly newslettervand find out wthat is going on with this cultures. I into this page every time I can.

Precious


The last movie I saw was “PRECIOUS”, I see this film with my boyfriend in the cinema.

Is a North American movie and was directed by Lee Daniels. Is based in the book “Push” by Sapphire.

The protagonist named Precious (Gabourey Sidibe), who gives the title of the movie, is a black young girl, of 16 years old, who remain a pregnant of her second child and it could not have finished the school. Her first daughter has mental problems and does not live with her. Her two children belong to her father, who leaves them. She lives with her mother (Monique), who treats her very badly and fault of the abandon of her father, and don’t do anything else that watch TV and eat. Between all the abuses that she suffers, comes to a school for special cases, where she finds a possibility of arising and recovering his voice, thanks her teacher (Paula Patton), a woman who fights for her pupils.

I like very much this movie, because shows all the suffering of a young woman that the life has not treated well, but that manages to get over, to break the cycle of the poverty and the mistreatment and goes out forward.

The Tacos - My favorite Dish


Hey! Today I will speak about my favorite dish. The true is I not so sure which is, but if I have to choose, I have to say that my favorite dish is the TACOS, becouse they bring me good and funny memories.
The Tacos are mexican food, and they are very popular in other countries, like chile for example, and they have considered actually like a rapid food. They consist in a tortilla of wheat or corn, who doubles or roll to suport diferent kinds of fodd. The clasic ingredients are stews of different meats and vegetables, and sauce spicy, also you can put various mexican dressings.
I dont like meat, so I dont prepared the tacos whith this, but I liked very much the vegetables, therefore I put all vegetables than I can. For prepare the tacos you can buy the tortillas of wheat in the market, and you must put in the oven, for they are warm when you eat them. Then you can cook a stew of vegetables, like zucchini, carrot, champine, onion anything you want and a stew of black beans, this is the best part. I like very much the guacomole, who consist in a mix of avocado and tomato, with garlic and dressings. Too you can do corn with cream.
I like the tacos, because I do it with my boyfriend and we created many thing to cook and we had a great time, also we share with ours families eating them.
Bye!.

The Earthquake

The day of the earthquake I was traveling. I was with two friends and my boyfriend in Ecuador. We didn´t found out what had happened until the following morning, when one of my friend went to buy the breakfast. We worried very much for our families and we turned on the television to see if we could find out about what happened. The news was showing that the great impact of the earthquake was in the south of the country, but it had been so strong that in great part of the country bean felt. Then we went to the telephone booths to try talking to our families, but we can’t because there was no telephonic line, then went to internet and in our mails was good news, all was ok, just was scared.

Bye. Rainbow
