My blog experience

Hey classmates! It is almost the end of the semester and hello vacations! I have to say that I am glad to choose this class because it has been an escape of the routine! Write blogs and then the activities makes you just think in English and I love that. I think one of the benefits of write blogs at least one day per week is that you have to be clear in your mind how to write, talk and most important think in English and learn some words that helps you to express yourself and that is because of the assignments. 

The assignments, I think, they were good chosen because make us to think a lot, sometimes were to tell a history, or something that you have experience, what you like and what you want for the future. They were so creative and different so before to start the class you are thinking "what would I write today on my blog". My favorite is “a walk”. Reminded me how much fun I had that time!. and I could share some pictures of Torres del Paine to you all so you can see how beautiful is the south of our country. Also the blog is a good way to learn about some things of your classmates and teacher and some times makes you want to do some stuff that you read on a blog, most of the time the things that Simon writes but is a little far from here hahaah. I didn´t have a blog before and I think I am going to miss it!:( Thank you all, Fran out. 

Penguin lost in the capital

Hello classmates! Well I am from Punta Arenas really far from here, far from my family, my house, and most important my bed! I move here to Santiago for two reasons: I had the opportunity and the universities there are not good at all, and I am trying to survive here in the capital. When you are far from you home town, you have to remember why you are far in first time, and then when you think that, everything is worth it. I had been in Santiago before but not actually a long time, maximum just a week. I knew that “Santiaguinos” were “different” in the way to talk, express and even opinion but my first month here I got impressed. It is funny when you start to tell a story and they don’t understand my words and I get confused because even the materials they say in a different way! We say “maceta” and “crudo” in most of the time, we eat “confites” no candies, we go on Sundays to the camp, we wait all year to have snow and cover our city with its beautiful white (we even have a song for that, for real). I can’t say that I am not happy here in Santiago, actually I feel lucky to meet some good people here! And also the capital have a few good things: there is a diversity of people, things, food, etc. Everything is more accessible here and you don’t have to wait a month to get stuff. And I know I am going to learn and love more od Santiago. 

Good morning!

 Today I am going to talk about a job that I think is one of the funniest job ever. Since I Saw a movie of people who work in Google I started to investigate about if everything in that movie is true. Then I realize how awesome is this company! .They give to their workers a good and positive environment to work and leave the creativity fly. They give to them free food, there is a lot of rooms of games, like bowling, basketball, swimming pools, ping pong , etc.,  and in order to relax, like rooms with bed to sleep. Also the thing that I like the most is that it’s not a normal office, there is creativity everywhere that you can see: paintings on walls, positive colors, and also in time of work: they believe on team work because the results are really good. I think for this job you need to be good at computers and also be creative. Google is so unique because they design the website to be not bored and easy to search about something and I think I would be good to design room for the company and also I would like to design part of the website in order to be funnier or prettier. 

Hello classmates, in today´s assignment I am going to talk about a painting that I like. 

Liberty Leading the People is a painting by Eugène Delacroix and shows the moment of end of the revolution in France, when the monarchy went down and the voice of the people won. The first time that I saw and learnt about this painting was in a classroom in my history class. I remember that I imagined while I was appreciating the painting, how horrible it was that part of the history and finally they felt the freedom. Then a few years later, I traveled to Paris and I had the possibility to go to the Louvre. I was just expected to see the Mona Lisa and in the middle of the museum I entered to a long room with big and beautiful paintings, and there it was this painting. Definitely see this paining in front you is different than in front of your computer. You can feel the moment of freedom. The desperation of the people to be heard And the woman represent the truly liberty of this country. I have no doubt that this is one of the best painting in the history because you can feel what the painter wanted to express, and in my opinion this is one of the important things of art.
