A picture!!

Hi everyone!

Today, I will talk about this picture because, for me, it represents a very important moment, It´s not a “special” picture (in a aesthetics way), but I remember it like a very quiet and nice moment. I took this photo and it shows my boyfriend (and my best friend) in O’higgins Park, where is the lagoon with ducks in a kind of island, in a very private place, where you can be very comfortable and you can interact with the ducks when they go out from the lake.

I think that this picture represents all that very beautiful moment with my boyfriend and when we can be together (he live so far u.u), this day in particular he went to my college to found me and we went to the park to lunch, I remember that we sat down in a big rock to talk and enjoy the place, when began to rain…it was very magic! I really enjoyed this day, although I remember that it was at Friday in first year of my career and I escaped from class xD! But well…never mind, I don´t feel remorse for that =) we still save a piece of paper of when he drew me that day! *O* I´m in love of this moment, and this picture!!

The technology!!

Today I will talk about the technology, especially, about my computer, you can think that it’s very basic, when you to compare it with the new telephones and IPod, Palms, etc., and many others things! But I’m very traditional with the technology xD For me, my computer is everything. I got it seven years ago, when the notebook was a new technology and very expensive. In the beginning I didn’t know how to use it but with the time I learnt.

My parents gave me this one in my B-day and since that day I don’t release it! I like my computer because I think the technology, today, is very treacherous, the pieces has obsolescence and my computer has make in times when the things last much yet.

I like my computer because it's portable, but it’s not small like the netbook! My life without it would be horrible! I wouldn’t talk with my boyfriend every night  for a long time; I’d use the telephone many hours! I´d go to the cyber for the works of the college! And I´d watch TV for the episodes of mi favorite’s series! And wait for this one! D: I use the computer everyday and my life without it would be disastrous!

BBC learning English!


Hi! Today I’m going to talk about this page http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/, the BBC´s learning English! Generally, I never visit pages like this, I use the computer to talk and watch videos xD but I liked this page, It has motivated me!

I think that the difference with the others pages is the form that this page teaches because it's very interactive! and this is very important for the student, because sometimes is so boring to study, even more when it's a thing in another language…. and others methods are always welcomed.

Game "Beat the Keeper"
In my opinion, “The Flatmates” has interesting contents as the game “Beat the Keeper” that foments to learn and understand about the topic that the game asks, but in a funny way. The page has videos, activities and quizzes for practice, and material for teachers too! I've found a Geography quiz!! And you can find quizzes about the topic of your interest.

The page is very easy to navigate, and it's very didactic, and it has pronunciations tips and other support for the people…It's a very recommended site =)

A place...Cobquecura



Hello everybody!-
Today I want to tell you about Cobquecura, in the south of Chile. I'm going to talk about this one because it's my favorite place! and unfortunately, at 2010, Cobquecura was the earthquake center and it was destroyed. I went to this place for the first time when I was a little girl, but the last time was at 2008, before the disaster. 
When I went to Cobquecura, I only wanted to be with my family (my little brother and my parents) in a quiet place on vacation...but as time goes by, I discovered that it was a beautiful place with unknown landscapes and wonderful people, I enjoyed it so much!

This town is a very rural and quiet place... there was the first time that I felt my empathy with the nature, a very essential thing in my degree. I remember that when I went, I enjoyed the beach and fields...and I felt in peace :) 
I hope you can visit that beautiful place someday!

Vale.

Introduction


Hi!-

I'm Valeria and this is my English blog,the 3d level! I cant believe that I'm here xD I'm very forgetful with the words, and to speak English is an embarrassing experience for me! But in my degree it's a very important subject, because our investigations and discoveries must be divulged and published in this lenguage, in scientific magazines, the geographic's world, and the science in general.

I'm 20 years old, and I'm a third year student of geography at Universidad de Chile, I like it because I can learn about the nature and his process, and it's a degree that have a lot of disciplines in one, we study climatology, geology, sociology, anthropology, hydrology and so much more! It's very interesting! But it's funny that the first people's thought is always that we're history teachers or that we do maps. xD 
 
In general, my life is simple, separate between my family, my studies and my boyfriend, that fortunately, is my best friend. I like the metal music, specially the Nu, Thrash and Death Metal, but I like all music in general, and I love the TV series too!
In this subject, I hope to improve my English, sorry for the mistakes! ^.^
