My experience learning English (:

Hello classmates! How are you today? I hope you aren’t so tired.

The time pass so fast, I remembered perfectly the first day that I had to write my first work and today it’s my last post. For finished my experience doing blogs, I will talk about my experience learning English at the University.

I started learning English just in April 2010, with another teacher and with other classmates. In the beginning of the year, I didn’t like English because I had to move to another faculty of the University and it’s took me time, time that in that period I didn’t have.

Little by little, English began to like me and came to Quinta Normal wasn’t terrible except in the day before tests. Only those days I hate English because it less me time of study. Being sincere, I have to confess that there were other situations where I wanted that English didn’t exist but I won’t say now.

Talking about the good things of this subject, I can mention some classes where I learnt things that it will be useful for my career. Also I can mention the blogs with which I could perfect my English writing and also learn new words that I didn’t know before.

There is an important comment that I’m forgetting: My classmates. In English classes I made new friends and I stayed good times with them. Obviously, not all my classmates where new for me, but with the people that I knew them from before, I stayed a good time too.

Always the goodbyes are sad, but nothing in the life is forever. I hope you finish in the best way the University, success with all your subjects.
Have a nice end of the year and holidays; see you in the next time (if there is one).
Good bye people!

II Region

Do you know about the second region? Antofagasta? Chuquicamata? Calama? Have you heard these names before? If your answer is no, you have to read this post. And if your answer is yes, you can close this window of Internet.
Antofagasta is in the second region, is the capital of this one. Perhaps, now you are thinking why I’m writing about “Antofa”? Well, the answer is so simple; I came from the second region. I was born in Chuquicamata but I moved off to Antofa when I was only 2 months of life.

All my childhood I lived in Antofagasta. I went to “The Antofagasta British School”, school where I was until seven grade. Some of my ex-classmates are now studying in Santiago so I can see them once a month and remember old times.

My father’s family (it includes grandmother, grandfather, aunts, uncles, cousins) lives in Calama so I travel to the North in special dates like Christmas, New Year or for some birthdays.

If you are reading this and you are preparing a trip and you have never traveled to “Antofa”, I don’t recommend you this city. It’s a little boring and you don’t have many things to do (you can do the typical things: go to the beach, go to parties, go to mall, etc; but nothing new). The only tourist attraction is the monument called “La Portada”.

Near Antofagasta (3 hours if you drive a car) is a tourist attraction that I recommend you visit it, perhaps you have heard speak about this town. It is called “San Pedro de Atacama”. You can’t die without knowing it because is a beautiful city so start saving silver from now!

I don’t have more comments to do.
I wish you have a nice weekend enjoying the things you like.
Bye bye people.

Sports (:

Hello classmates! Today is a new day of post, I will talk about sports especially of soccer.

Sports are something very important in my life. My father told me, since I was little, that sports are very good for health and besides they are entertained.
I remember that I started doing sports when I was 7 or 8 years old, I think that I was on third grade in that time.

The first sport that I practiced was rhythmic gymnastics. I practiced it twice a week in my school. After a year, I started to use cords, tapes, balls and all the things that are used in rythmical gymnastics. I don’t remember why but from one day to another I left this sport and never, until now, I have returned to practice it.

I changed rythmical gymnastics for soccer. I started practicing this sport in my school too (but in another school) when I was 14 years, in 2006 I think. Since that year I have never stopped to play soccer.

My school football team was “San Gaspi” (it name continues still now but I’m not member of it, I’m just a fan). With this team I won many champsionships and, in addition, I knew many pretty people. In fact, some of them are my friends until now.

A few months ago, my friends and I created a football team called “Farolitas” and we participated in a league in the school “San Pedro Nolasco”. We obtained the second place because a team of the University of Chile won the final 5-2.

Today, I’m playing soccer in the university and I’m a member of “Aperradas” (that’s the name of the team).
I hope that this story continues until I die. I also hope that feminine soccer continues growing up.

That’s all for today, good bye.

Dealing with stress at work

It’s time to do a new post in my blog. I hope that you like it (:
In order to be able to speak of stress, I believe that first it is necessary to put to us in agreement in its meaning. For stress I understand “A body's reaction to a change that requires a physical, mental or emotional adjustment or response”. It is obviously that each person has her/his own definition, but in this blog I will consider the definition I said before.
Sometimes stress is a good method to said the body stop. The body needs to rest a specific time and sometimes we can’t carry out this time because we have many things to do. The example more clearly is that we have to sleep at least 8 hours and many of us sleep just 5 or 6 hours every day.
In others cases, stress only gets the situation worse. For example when you have to study and you know the time is little for learn too much contents, you get stress and that makes difficult your concentration and you are delayed more time in learn something that normally you memorizing in a second. Besides, stress changes the mood and causes that one gets angry with more facility. In summary, work or study with stress isn’t convenient but lamentably we cannot avoid it, in fact I believe that the majority of us always get a little bit stress.
Talking in general, not only the stresses in the university, many of the Chileans gets stress constantly. A good business is creating a plan to eliminate the stress of our lifes, now the question is… how can we do it? Well, it is in the imagination of each one.
See you, bye bye
