BBC Learning English





























Hello everyone, today I’m going to write about the web site “BBC Learning English”, first of all I did not know this website, it seems to me that de site has a clean interface and easy to use at first sight. The site has a menu on the left side of the page, there we can find ten possible options to start browsing on the site. The first thing that struck me was the side menu "Talking Sports" because I'm a big fan of all sports especially of soccer, basketball and tennis. In the section "Talking Sports" we can find different videos which appear many athletes talking about their work. Natalie is the host of the space, she proposes to us that we pay attention to a few words of the interview and then she shows us where were said. For me it is very entertaining and motivating learning different things, not just English, so more playful, I think anyone can understand things better in this way. Another interesting section within the site is "Beat the keeper" which is under "Quizzes", here you have to make a goal by choosing the correct answer to the question proposed, this activity has a time limit to complete it and at the end of the activity appears your score. This two activities are very funny.

My Career


Hi English classmates, today i’m going to write about my university career, it is graphic design. When I was a child I dreamed of being a professional footballer and play in the best leagues in the world, also for many years I played tennis and I wanted to dedicate myself to play tennis, but various injuries caused me to stop dreaming to be an elite athlete. When I was in middle school I wanted to study civil engineering, architecture, political science, law and advertising, but ultimately I chose to study graphic design, although I hesitated between graphic design and industrial design.  I think I made the right decision not to study advertising, I made my decision to study graphic design after talking to a friend of my uncle who is an advertiser. He told me that what makes a publicist any creative person can do. On the other hand, the things that make a designer not everyone can do it. In the future I would like to dedicate myself to the identity and branding, but without ignoring other things that I like such as illustration, typography and animation.

Faith No More




















Hi everyone, today I’m going to write about my favorite concert. In the year 2010 the band Faith No More came back to Chile after his concert on November 5 in 2009, that concert was performed the December 5, 2010 in the Bicentenario de la Florida stadium, Santiago of Chile. This is the second time that I can see them live and direct. In the last concert Mike Patton, The front man of the band, said that it was the last concert ever and they never come back to Chile, but they return. I remember that the band Primus was opens the show, they are very cool and his music sounds very good on live, also was the first time I watched Primus but not the only time. That concert was very emotional for the public because between the band and the Chilean public it generates a special mysticism that I can’t explain, you can see this if you read the chronicles from all the visits of Faith No More. For me this concert is very special for three important reasons, the first, because Faith No More is one of my favorites band the in the world, the second, because I thought they never come back to Chile after their break and the third reason because I went with my little brother and my uncle, he gave me the entrance for the show. Here I attach the set list of the concert and a video of the show, enjoy it.

A Beach



























Hello English classmates, today I'm going to write about my favorite beach. Without a doubt my favorite beach is Algarrobo, it is a Chilean city and commune in San Antonio’s province, in the region of Valparaiso. Algarrobo is located on the Chilean’s central coast, it is a popular beach for the population of Santiago and also it near El Quisco and Valparaiso. Llong ago time since I've gone to Algarrobo, I think the last time I went was 3 years ago with my family, but for me Algarrobo is the best beach to vacation with the family, is a quiet place, the water is fine and it has some very entertaining video games. When I go to Algarrobo is with my family to spend a little time together, to enjoy the sea and to enjoy the local food. My family and I love to swim in the sea, relax on the beach and playing in the sand. To Algarrobo I go since I have memory, always the holidays were on that beach ever since I was very young. In my memory I keep the best memories of my childhood on that beach in Algarrobo has been the place where I spent more time swimming, the place where I have spent my best vacation and where  I will always return for future holidays.
