The wild horse!!

Hi Classmates and teacher. How are you? I hope you are very good. Well today I am going to talk about my favorite animal: The horse.
The horse is mammal and herbivore animal and it have a large and curved neck. Its size vary considerably among the breeds.  The horses have a lifetime between  25 and 40 years old in captivity and in liberty ,approximately, they live 25 years . There are many kind breeds of horses with different coat, colors and  sizes.  Some breeds of horses are: Arab, Aztec, chilean, haflinger. But there are many more types of horses. I like horses because I think they are one of the noblest animals,also they are loyal and beautiful. When I go to the countryside I love to ride a horse in the afternoon with my cousins. I do not have horses in my house because they need a lot of room, however my dream is to live in the countryside and have a farm with many animals like horses, cows, chickens, sheeps, cats and dogs. Horses have many special characteristics, they can find their way home in the dark far away from their home. They also recognize voice tones and remind people and experiences for years, and claim the absence of a friend. Among its talents are to predict storms and earthquakes.




Regards!! (:

Hello teacher and Classmates! How are you? Today I am going to talk about “My favorite travel destination” Well is difficult to me choose one place because I love traveling and I would like to visit so many places and countries. When I was a little girl my dad gave me an earth glove and since then I want travel around the world. Specially, I’d like to know Latin-American because I love our culture, it has different traditions, dances and believes. For this reason, today I decide talk about “Machu Pichu”. Machu Picchu in Quechua language means “Old Mountain” and was an ancient village of Incaico. It was building about the middle century XV and it is located in south of Perú. I’d like to know Machu Picchu because its landscapes are beautiful. Machu Picchu is considerated a masterwork of architecture and engineering. Just looking some photographs you can feel the peace and harmony of there. I will love visit this place with my friends. It´s will be great and funny. In this place could do the Inca’s road, walk among its beautiful streets, also   is possible know more about the Peruvian culture; its music, its dance and eat its food and what I heard is delicious! Wow I so excited for visit Machu Picchu Jajajaja. I think that I could visit Machu Picchu someday I hope so; I mean it’s possible, isn’t it? And being very optimistic maybe I’ll know it this year or the next year, who knows?!

Gabriel Salazar



Hi teacher and classmates, This week I’m going to talk about an expert of my field and that person is Gabriel Salazar, a historian, academic and researcher.
He was born on January of 1936 in Santiago. He studied at Liceo de Aplicación. Then he studied Philosophy at Universidad de Chile. After the coup he was detained and took to a detention center in Villa Grimaldi and after that he fled into exile Great Britain, where he received a Doctoral on economic and social history on the University of Hull. The he came back to Chile in 1985.
In 2006 he was awarded the National Prize in History. Today he is working as Historic Professor at the Universidad de Chile.
Gabriel Salazar is one of the fundators of the historiographical called the New Social History. Some of his most famous works are: (2006) Ser niño "huacho" en la historia de Chile (siglo XIX), (2008) Memorias de un Peón-Gañán Memorias de Benito Salazar Orellana; Gabriel Salazar (Editor), (2011) En el nombre del Poder Popular Constituyente (Chile, siglo XXI).
I admire the Professor Gabriel Salazar because he give a different vision of the history. He demystify history facts and an emblem characters of the history of Chile. His arguments are very interesting. I enjoy his classes and I always learn something remarkably in them.
Regards! (:

My favorite Movie


Hello classmates and teacher! I hope you are very good. The theme this week is: "My favorite movie." Well, I have many favorite movies, but this time I choose to talk about the movie "Into the Wild". This film could be considered a drama inspired that was by actual fact. "Into the Wild" was filmed in 2006 and the scenes were filmed in different places like Emory University and Cantwell, a small town in Alaska. This film was directed by Sean Penn and Emile Hirsch is the principal actor and other actors in the film are William Hurt, Marcia Gay Harden, Kristen Stewart, Catherine Keener, among others. This film is related the life of Christopher McCandless, who was a young man who decided to leave civilization because he thought that the world was superficial and monotonous. Christopher brokes his documents, gives his savings and started traveling. His destiny was to Alaska. At the road, Christopher changes his name to "Alexander Supertramp". On the journey he knows many people and places, and had many adventures, for example, when he crossed in a canoe on the Colorado River. Finally, Christopher get to Alaska to live a moment of reflection. When he was in Alaska accompany only just nature he view that he loves his family and his life. Unfortunately, Christopher died from eating a poisonous plant and can not go back to civilization. But the film has a very important message and nice. For these reasons I love "Into the Wild" is a great movie that drive to feel the freedom and ventured. In the movie the lead actor says a phrase that I loved, says: "Happiness only real when shared" and it is true that there is nothing better than sharing the happiness
