Websites..

Hi! This post is about one of my favorite website. I’m a person that uses the computer and the internet a lot, so I have many sites that y use to visit.

One of them is the site of “El Mostrador”, www.elmostrador.cl.

This is one of the first online newspapers in the country, it was released in 2000, and in 2003 was recognized as a newspaper with the same conditions that traditional papers.

This website has everything that a common newspaper should have, with the most important news in the topics of politic, economy, national, culture etc.

I really like this site because, in the first place the advantage of an online paper is that the news are constantly being updated even faster that other Medias like TV. On the other hand, this kind of Medias makes possible the interaction with the readers because everyone can opine about the different news and debate with other readers.

Also I like El Mostrador in particularly because present an opinion and an editorial line different that the usual communication medias in Chile. I, in general, visit this website every day.  

Films...

This post is about movies. Write about why people like movies is little bit complex because I think that are many reasons.

Mainly I think that movies, at same that other types of art, represent the reality of human been and society, and in the other hand creates new worlds of imagination. There are not just products; there are experiences that mix music, visual art, movement etc.

Besides, a film can make you see from the eyes of another person, the interpretation of one part of the life that you might haven´t consider.

I don’t have a favorite movie so I’ll choose one of the many that I’d enjoy in my life.

This movie is called “The Edukators”, is a Drama released in 2004 and it was made in Germany.

The director was Hans Weingartner, and it was starring by Daniel Brühl, Stipe Erceg and Julia Jentsch.

The main characters are Jan, his best friend Peter and Peter’s girlfriend Jule. These three young friends are activist and anti-capitalist. Jan and Peter usually break into rich people’s home, not to robber, just to make a messed in the big houses and leave messages like: “you have too much money” or “the days of plenty are over”

On the course of the story grows a love triangle, and after a series of problems they might ending realizing that the young idealism might not last forever.

I liked it because I felt identified with the characters and the idea of young people who have ideals, and how as they go older they get cut by the system and society. I saw this movie when i was 16 years old.

My first Blog...

Hi! 

This is my first experience writing a Blog so I dont't know where to start.

Maybe I should write about my interests in writing or something like that, but in this case this is part of an assignment that my teacher of English asked me to do, so I'll tell you something about me.

Well my name is Mariabelén Pozo. Yes, probably you are thinking that my name is incorrectly written, that I've made some mistake, but the truth is that this is the correct way. The story behind this is that my mother didn't want that the people call me only for my fisrt name María, so she decided to put  the two names together.

My life is pretty common, I'm 20 years old and I live with my parents and my two brothers in Peñalolén.  

I'm studying sociology in the University of Chile, and in my weekends I go to a curse of "cut and confection of clothes" in an institute called Crearte.

In general I dont't like write beside the papers for the school, and I'm not very good at that. But that's because I think that this excercise will help me to practice. 

Until my next post!
