A picture is worth a thousand words...

Hi! Today I’m going to write about a photograph that I like. I decided to choose a picture from my own albums rather than a famous photograph’s picture, that’s because I think that have more meant to me and I can show you a little more of my life.

So I chose this picture….

I like it because it remembered me the trip that I and my friends take the last summer.
We travel to Peru and Ecuador in February with 5 of my high school friends, and we have a blessed. We had so much fun, and we learn a lot. We went backpacking to Lima, Máncora, Baños, Quito, Montañita etc…
This picture was taken when we went to a little town called Baños de Agua Santa, that’s located near to the sierra, and the Ecuadorian jungle. So one day we take a trip to the jungle and we went to a place called “the house of monkeys” a park where there are different kinds of monkeys and they are jumping around everywhere, they are not locked into cages, so they jump over you and hold on to your head.
This photograph I think that was taken for one of the staff of the place. And shows one part of the park in the jungle, and appeared in it my friends Mariana, Javiera, Ignacia, Francesca and Andrea, and I in the middle.
I was telling you that I really like this picture because there are all my travel mates in it, and bring to my memory all the funny stories and great time that we had there.
I hope that my next trip will be that fun and exciting.

TV serials...

Hi! Today I’m going to write as. I think that the role that they have in society is entertain, because in most of the cases is not a real representation of how life is, how people resolved their problems, and how they deal with their relationships.
                In general, these programs are fantasy or an exaggeration of the problems and situations of real life, so I think that can’t usually contribute to educate people or make them form and opinion or critic society. However I consider TV serials really entertaining and fun, you get involved with the story and the different characters.
                So I think that most of the people like or love these serials, because they can make you feel like being in a world and situation completely different and besides these shows are written to captivate audience with all the drama and incomplete stories episode by episode.
                I don’t have a favorite serial right now, but there are many that I watch and keep track of. For example I usually watch Dr. House every Thursday, I love it because the characters are so funny and every episode has a story, a case to resolve.  
                I watch different serials that I like, in general two or three times a week, in the TV or the computer.

My favorite piece of technology...


My favorite piece of technology has to be my notebook. I got it when I started college, so my parents give to me as a birthday present, before of that I shared a computer with my brother.
I used in my room most of the time, for homework, studying, listen music or to entertain myself in the internet. 
I use it every day several hours for different motives.
I like my notebook because it let me been connected with my friends and the rest of the world, also I can make my works for school with more facilities and more independence from the rest of my family because I can use it when I want it, where I want it and the time I needed to.
The fact that is a portable computer is also very important to me, because I can bring it wherever I go, to the university or my friend’s homes.
My life without it, would not be has terrible because I’ll be able to move on, but it would be a lot more harder because I’ll have to coordinate with my brothers the use of the others computers in my home. 
          

Music...

Music has been important to society because is a way to express you, and in addition is something that everyone can felt related.
Anyone can find the type of music that can wake up different emotions inside, and in the other hand you can make music out of nothing, you don´t need great instruments to do it.
I really don´t have a favorite type of music, I really like many and diverse kind of music. I usually listen rock, pop, indie or folk music mostly originally from England an U.S. but in Spanish I like very much the “trova”, and the dance music like cumbia.
I don´t usually listen to music through a web site, I use to download songs, albums or even discographies by “torrent”. But I know this site called www.grooveshark.com where you can listen to all your favorite music for free.
I listen to music every day, mostly when I’m at home in my room, or when I’m riding in the bus, or in the car.
I listen to music because I relax and I can think about everything, also it brings back all different memories. So that’s way this activity is so important to me.
