Hello! Today I practiced a little of my english vocabulary, and well, the marks were ... good?
Well, was very disappointing the third activity in the part of reading. I think one of my problems is that I read fast and I am a little impatient when I try to find the answer. So, I usually don't reed all the words that are necesary to understand the complete text But, generally, I like read in english and I don´t have that kind of problems... but anyway I will try to be more slow in my reading.
I think, the most difficult part for me is the listening, and I don't know exactly why. When I llisten the miss in the class, I can undersatnd, But when I am listening a recording of a voice in a machine I can't hear very good. Also, I like the british acent (I think is very cool) but when I hear their voices in the machine I don't uderstand anything! I hope to treat that illness someday (before the exam)
And in the vocabulary, the story was the same like in the first activity. I was very rushed reading. So I really need to try to solve that problem.
In the next opportinity I will try to practice more of my listening and the reading.
That's all folks!

Someone
Hello! Today is a very hot day. I would like to go to any beach right now. But anyway... today I am going to talk about someone... I'll give you some clues:
Who is someone? is a very special pearson to me and for my sister .I meet this pearson when I was 13 years old (maybe, I don't remember the age exactly). I always liked the old movies and someday, my uncle lend us a box with a lot of movies. My sister and I inspect the box and there were a diferent kinds of movies. Some of the movies were like, westerns, old films in black and white, and movies very recomended like "Cinema Paradiso" and "El tambor de hojalata". Anyway, classic movies. And this man was in many of the movies.
Yeah! fisrt clue, This pearson is a male. He was born in the of the 19th century and lived for the big part of the 20th century. He grown in in the poor localities of England and he had a very sad history. Specially for the circustances of his family: His father abandoned his family, and his mother, that was a singer and also had mental problems, had to take care of his brother and also him. After that his mother had to stay in a nursing home, he and his brother went to a school for orphaned childrens. Then he started to study and continued working in very differents works. After a very complicated story, he became a very recongized actor (I know, I cut a big part of the biograpgy, but it was so long!). And now he is remember like a famous actor of his time and also for a polemic about his recognition.
Second clue: The controversy was about the Oscar prize. The academy didn't wanted to give the prize to a comunist. And also he was exiled in another country for his politics convictions. Just, when this actor was very old (he was 85 I think), the academy gave him the Honorific Oscar for all his work.
Third clue: How was his work? Well, was very funny. Most of his work was comedy, with a drop of sadness. Also he was very critic with the nazis in the second world war. And now his is remember for a special speech in a satiric movie.
Fourth and also the final clue: He was friend of Albert Einstain.
If He would lived today, I would like to ask him what he thinks about the society today. Maybe he could give a very amazing analisis.
Well, I gave you all the clues. Can you imagine who he is?
P.s: If you think this has no sense, then go directly to the link.

My favourite artist
Hi! are you well?. Today I am going to talk about my favourite artist and again... is difficult. I have a lot and some of them are really important in my live. I think the music makes the memories more special and well, for every special situation exist a special song. I like bands like Pink Floyd, Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Beatles , Led Zepellin (they are the clasics) and another bands like Coldplay (the old Coldplay), Travis and Muse. But, for now, I think that I am going to talk about Travis, because the band came to Santiago the last saturday.
I discoverd Travis when I was a child but in that time I didn't knew them. I used to listen their songs in the radio, and when I had my first laptop I discovered the name of the band. That was the same story for all my favourite bands, except for the clasics, because my father knew them.
What I like about Travis? obviously their songs but also I like the emotions that they transmit. The music is simple (they don't have the complexity of Pink Floyd) but is nice and sometimes the stories behind the songs are really sad or at least makes you think about your live in another perspective.
Maybe you know some of their songs. Songs like: "Side", "Why does it always rain on me", "Closer", Re -offender" and "Flowers in the window". My favourites are "Side", "Re-offender" (specifically the intention behind this song) and " "Writing to reach you". Also "I like Why does it always rain on me", buy I listen that song when something really bad happens to me...just in cases.
How I said before. Travis came to Chile the last saturday, in the Padre Alberto Hurtado Park. Was a great show and they sang all my favourites songs and also the vocalist was very funny. He went down to the audience and then, he get on the shoulders of a man called Alvaro, and he started to sing in there. I think that Alvaro was really surprised and happy after all.
That's all folks!
