Blog #3 My favorite time of the year

Image
Hi, today I'm going to talk about my favorite time of the year. I have to say that I hate winter and summer because a lot of cold or a lot of heat are just as annoying. Conversely, I love spring and autumn, but if I have to choose only one it would be autumn because spring gives me allergy, especially in Santiago that there are many oriental banana trees and its flowers make me allergic. About autumn, I really like the dry leaves that fall from the trees and cover the streets, I enjoy this time because the weather is nice, it is not very hot, but it is not very cold either, then you can go out with not so warm clothes. For me, this is the perfect weather for cycling, it is not cold, nor do you sweat much, so it is the perfect time fo the year to me. At the moment, I don't remember great memories in autumn, but just thinking about the weather of that time brings me a good feeling. My only plan for the next time is go out if the pandemic ends. Autumn somewhere in the world

Blog #2 My best holidays

Cuzco's square My best holiday was in the summer of 2018. On those vacations we traveled with my girlfriend, named Jossefa, through the north of Chile hitchhiking until we arrived to Cuzco, Perú. In that place we were around three days, in which we toured the city and we visited the Machupichu ruins, too. Altogether, our holidays lasted two weeks, in which we spent most of the time on the road above trucks. In this travel, we lived many experiences that I won´t forget, we sleep in different parts: squares, pensions, gasoline pumps, etc. Along with this, we met many people who helped us on the trip due to we were always de youngest backpackers of all the groups that we formed we were both eighteen years old and most of the people we met were about thirty years old. For the return, we had to take a bus because I had to start my first year of university and here I am, in my fourth year of career. I consider that these were my best vacations because I lived many experiences t...

There are many countries around the world that I would like to visit because the Earth is a planet with different places and most of them are wonderful for many reasons. If I would have to choose one continent of the world, it would be South America. I think that all countries in South America have some place that I would like to know; Brazil and its “favelas”, Argentina and “la Boca”, Colombia and its culture, but If I would have to choose only one of them, it would be Bolivia. Bolivia is a wonderful country with a lot of landscapes: jungle, green mountains, desert, etc. I visited it the last holidays and I loved it due to people who live there are very friendly and the landscapes that I named now are awesome, but I would come back because I think that there are many places that everybody might know and I don´t know yet, for example I was three days in Uyuni, but I couldn’t visit “Uyuni’s Salar” and I would like to know it when I go again. Honestly, I would love to live and wo...

My favourite festivity is the New Year. It is celebrated on January first and it corresponds to the first day of each year of Western culture. This calendar was established in the year 1582 by Pope Gregorio XIII, due to this it is named the Gregorian calendar and it corresponds to the calendar used in the most of the countries. I like this festivity because it is a day of party in all the country, everywhere. Many people go to parties and meet with their families and friends. On December 31, the last day of the year, I always eat a dinner with my family and when it's twelve o'clock at midnight and the New Year arrives, we go to see the fireworks of the "Estadio Nacional". After that I go to some party with my friends. I like the new year due to it is a day of celebration all day, all night. People is happy this day with their beloved and that makes me happy, too.

Like all posts that I have made, I don't have a favourite band or singer, also I hardly ever listen to music because I prefer the silence or the conversations when I'm with someone, but there is a band that like me since I was a children. That band is "Tiro de Gracia", I knew this band due to my eldest brother that listened to this kind of music. Tiro de Gracia is a chilean band, they started their musical career during the 90's, especifically in 1993. The members of the group at beginning was Juan Sativo and Lenwa Dura, but some years after of the creation of the group, Zaturno joined the band. The best and most known album is "Ser humano!!" and it is positioned like as one of the best album in the history of Chilean music along with artists like Violeta Parra, Victor Jara, Quilapayun, Los Prisioneros and Los Jaivas, this is very important considering that they play rap music and this type of music has never been so famous and recognized in our country....

When I read the post about a photograph, I didn't know what image I could choose. Then I surfed internet and I searched the best pictures in the world and I found it. This picture was taken by, Santi Palacios, a spanish photographer and journalist, the last year. I like it because the history behind it is really impressive. In the picture are two brothers, I don't know their names, but I know that they are from Nigeria and that they are eleven and ten years old, respectively. In that image they are in a boat in the middle of the Mediterranean sea due to they had to rush off from the Libyan conflict. In the image they are crying because their mother died in that country, Libya, and they are trying to call her. This photo represents the cruelty of the wars that make innocent people suffer and unjustly people who cause the wars don't lose anything.

Sincerely I'don't really like technology, as my English teacher, but if I had to write about one piece of technology, I'd choose the Play Station Four. The Play Station Four is a game console that you have to connect to TV if you want to play with it. It can be played alone or with your friends or with the person that you want. I bought it with my little brother the last year due to we wanted to enjoy together and with our friends in our house. If you want to play with it, you have to have a control, named "Dualshock 4", it has a lot of keys that have different functions. The play that I always play is "Fifa 17", it is about soccer and you can play with every soccer team around the world. I use this console every two days approximately and I like it due to I can play virtual soccer with my favourite team: "Universidad de Chile". My life without it would not be very different how it is now, it isn't a important thing in my life.
