English

In this year I had to do the subjects English 3 and English 4 for the university. These subjects have good and bad points. A good point is that I improved my vocabulary of English and now I can talk in English more than before. A bad point is that English 3 and English 4 is almost the same. I remember that even I had to do a few same posts in both subjects, but now I have to write more words than before. 
For other side, the use of blogs is too useful, because we could improve our writings and our redaction in English, because every time we have to write more words, so every time we're writing a little better. Do some of exercises of a book maybe couldn't have the same effect. 
For now, I fell that I still have to improve more my English. Reading and writing is more easy for me, but talking with other people is a little difficult yet, because I get nervous and I don't know what to say. But, this problem is only when I try to talk with other, because I don't have any problems to talk alone or in front of a camera (like in the videos). I need practice my English a lot yet.
Outside the class, I have to English for some works of other subjects. For example, I had to read some scientific's papers for a report. Besides, I try to use English in my house, like when I listen music, when I play videogames or when I see movies. I know that the English is important in my future, so I trying to learning a little more every day. 

Good and bad

Talk about the good and bad things that have happened in my life is a little difficult, because is summarize my life in 250 words. But, I always remembered a few things. For example, when I was a child, I remember when I started to fight whit other child of my village. I won in this occasion, so I suppose that is a good thing to remember. 

Also, I always remember a few concerts in my life, like when, few years ago, I went to the concert of Red Hot Chilli Peppers, in the Estadio Monumental or like I went to the Lollapalooza this year. I prefer the Lollapalooza because I could see too many bands that I like.

Another good thing that I remember is when I went to the Estadio Nacional to see the football match between Chile and Argentina. In this match, Chile won for first time in a official match to Argentina. I still remember the historic goal and how I shouted for joy. 

But, like the good things, I also remember bad things. For example I remember too many falls in bicycle, when I was running or when I was walking. Also, I remember when I couldn't block some goals when I played a very important game.

In this year, I almost reached all my goals in the university. Also I know too many people, like my girlfriend. But, I don't finish this year yet, I still have to study for the end of the semester. And I'm waiting for the summer, to go for a well-deserved vacations.  

Bad luck

Today, I'll write about the bad luck that I had seeing movies in the last time. Why bad luck? Well, because in the last time, I only make the wrong choice when I had to choose a movie.

First, two or three weeks ago, I went to the cinema with my girlfriend. In that place, we saw "Los caballeros del Zodiaco", because we wanted remember our chilhood (in reality, I wanted remember my chilhood). This movie was so horrible! In the first place, the movie wasn't similar to the anime in any points. For example, the history was different, the name of some characters was different too. Even a one entire character was different! Besides, the fights was so boring. So, if you want to see this movie, maybe you can choose another movie.

The next week, we went to the cinema with other friends too to see "Annabelle". This movie was so boring. We supposed that the movie maybe would be a kind of creepy, but nothing.

After that, we saw another movie in my house and, in the middle on the movie, I fell asleep. The movie was so boring that even I can't remember his name (seriouly).
But, after this bad luck in the movies, me and my girlfriend finally chose a good movie. We saw "Sex tape", a comedy. We laughed so much with this movie. Is a very good movie. So, if you wanna relax for a while, maybe you can see this movie.

212

Today, I'll write about an interesting journey that I have a few weeks ago. This day was a Saturday. In that day, I had to go to the university for a work and then I had to go to Antumapu for a football match for facso football team. I remember that I took the 212 and this day was the previous day of the match between Colo Colo and the Universidad de Chile. The bus passed trough the Monumental stadium and a few fans of Colo Colo forced the lastest door to take the bus. 

After that, the bus passed across Santa Rosa street. There, few fans of the "U" in the other side of the street, looked to the bus and it seems that they look the fans of Colo Colo inside the bus and they decided to throw stones to the bus. Many windows were broken after that and the civilians inside the bus were screaming a lot. However, after a few minutes, all was in order again. After that, in Santa Rosa street yet, a fan of Colo Colo took a sit next to me and then he extracted a knife of his pocket. A big knife, by the way. Then, he started to play with his knife (in this moment, I was very very afraid), looked at me and finally he went to another empty seat. In that moment, I finally could breathe. Then, after three or four block, I got out of the bus. This was my fantastic journey. I remember that after got out of the bus, I couldn't hold a pen to sign to get inside Antumapu. I'm a crying baby. 

Hobbie

I would like to have two jobs. One of them is more like a hobbie: be a football manager. The other, well, is be a psychologist. I can't imagine me like a psychologist yet, because I don't know what area is better for me.

But, I really can imagine me like a football manager, using a tracksuit in the trainings and using a suit in the matches. This job is indoor and outdoor at the same time, because I'll be looking for information in a office but I'll be in the field the most part of the time. I think that I won't travel a lot in this job, because I like to manage an amateur team, because is more like a hobbie. If I'll be the manager of a team in a famous league, maybe I would have to travel a lot, but, in the case that I would like to manage, I don't think so. 

I would like to take a course to be a football manager after finish my career. For that, I would have to work for a time, to collect money to pay this course. However, I'm ready to collect money, because I really want to be a football manager. 

Lollapalooza 2014

This time I'll write about the best concert I'm been to. So, enjoy it.

In my life, I'm been in many concerts. I really love these kind of activities. For example, I was in a concert of Jorge González, Children of Bodom, Red Hot Chilli Peppers (twice), etc. But, the last time that I been in a concert, was in April of this year: Lollapalooza 2014. This was the best concert I'm been to. Lollapalooza is a music fest where many bands plays. In these occasion, played two of my favourites bands in the entire world, like Phoenix and Red Hot Chilli Peppers. 

Phoenix is a french band and in the concert played his lastest album named "Entertainment". I remember that I was around the third line. In this concert I was alone because my friend that I went with, went to another stage, to see Ellie Goulding I think.

Red Hot Chilli Peppers is band from USA and they members spent many years together. In these occasion, this band played his most famous hits, like "Snow", "By the Way" or "Californication". For this concert I was alone too, because the same friend than before, was many many lines behind me.

Both concerts were a fantastic experience, but I remember that was very tough, because I was thirsty and hungry and I didn't have water or any food. However, the concerts were too amazing to forget these little problems.

Environment

In my school I learned a lot about the "green issues" and the enviromentally friendly practices. However, in that place I never did any of these practices. For example, in my school we didn't have any trash can for recycling. So, all the trash was in any trash can. Nevertheless, I learned a lot of enviromentally friendly practices that I can do in my house. One of this practices is be nice with the water's consumption: now, in my home, I reduced the time of my showers (seriously, my showers are really shorts now), I don't use water while I wash the dishes and I don't use much water when I brush my teeths and when I shave. But I don't recycle much in my daily life.

However, I do others practices that help to the environment. For example, I use a lot my bicycle to travel to many places, like the university, the bank or even when I have to go to Providencia. Besides, I like walk a lot, so, when I have enough time, I like to walk instead take a bus or the subway. Obviously, when is a very long travel, I don't have another choice than take public transport. Anyway, any of this kind of vehicle is better than use a own car. 

Actually, I'm not in any eco-organisation, because I'm not interested in one of them. However, I respect all the things that they do to save the environment.

I think that in Santiago are missing many things about this issue. We don't have much recycle's points or we don't care about the trash, the CO2 or even the water (I'm speaking in general). Anyway, I think that the most important thing that is missing in our society is social conscience about the environment problem, because if the entire society help in this issue, the planet would breathe a little more.

Brazil la la la la la la la ♪ ♪

This time, I will write about a topic that was very famous two months ago: the 2014 FIFA World Cup. This tournament was in Brazil and was the 20th FIFA World Cup. In this tournament, the champion was Germany. This team was one of the favourites to win the cup, so, is not surprising that Germany won the cup.

This FIFA World Cup had many surprises and amazing scores. For example Brazil, the first candidate to win the cup, was eliminated for Germany in the semifinal, for a score of 7-1. Amazing isn't it? Another wide margin was the match between Netherlands and Spain: 5-1 for Netherlands. The sames teams of the earlier final of the FIFA World Cup, but with a very different score (the earlier final was 1-0 for Spain).

 Another surprise of this tournament was Costa Rica. This team was considered like the "Cinderella" of the FIFA World Cup because, in the statistics, was the worst team. But, for surprise of all, this team won his matches against Italy (1-0) and Uruguay (3-0, a wide margin isn't it?), two worlds powers, and qualify for the 8th of final. In that instance, Costa Rica won in penalties to Greece, in a very very boring 0-0. The "Cinderella" was eliminated in 4th of final in front of Netherlands in penalties too, what a shame!

But, the most surprising moment was the shoot of Pinilla, that shoot hit in the crossbar in the 120th minute! Nobody can believe that yet. If this shoot would have been goal, maybe the champion will be another national team...

In spite of this surprises, the 2014 FIFA World Cup has finished and we have to wait another 4 year to see again this 32 nationals teams fighting for win the most precious trophy in the world of the football.

The weight of history

Hi there, this is my first post. So, enjoy it!

A country I'd like to visit? I don't know. Many countries are greats I think. One of them is England, because the culture of this country is amazing. Hundreds of years of history and culture are in cities like London or Liverpool.

The little that I know about England is thanks to the books or the movies, besides the things that taught me in the school, of course. Also I know a lot of English football thanks to the TV, internet, newspaper and even the videogames.

Particularly, I'd like to visit London, because is the most important city on this country, I think. In this city, I'd like to get around all the day. I'd like to go to the museums, to the historical monuments, like castles, and I'd like to taste different food. But, the most important thing that I'd like to do in England is go to a football match in a fantastic stadium, like Wembley or the Emirates Stadium.

I would like go to England to study for a few months, wich is enough for me, because I would like to continue living in Chile for now.

Goodbye my fans.
