Test Practice

Hi everyone, I hope you´re doing well. Today is a bit different. I'm going to talk about the difficulties that I have during some practices that we do for our final test. this exercices are mainly listenings, we have to listen a conversation and choose the correct answer between some options, in general i don't find this particularly hard but when the conversations are more than 1 minute it starts to be difficult for me to stay focused on what are they saying ( i also have this problem in spanish so it´s not just an english thing jajaj).

Something that i enjoy when im outside

Hi everyone, today i´m going to talk about something that i enjoy when i´m outside. I know probably this is going to sound a bit silly but one of the things i personally enjoy the most is walking, yes, just walk. I always live far from the place where I study so everytime that I went back home after school I have to walk like 20 or 25 min from the bus stop to my home. I made that walk everyday for 3 or 4 years in school and now I do the same on my way back from university. Doing that walk for so long makes me acquire a love for walking. At first obviously I hate it but with time I really appreciate those 20 minutes of just walking with my headphones listening to music and thinking about life while I walk. I think in my case it was like an acquired taste, now i think that walking with your music is one of the best things that we can do in any situation, when your happy or sad or angry, a walk around the city always help you to be alone with your thoughts and clear your mind an ideas, al

  Hi everyone, I hope you´re doing great.In today´s blog i'm going to talk about a building I visited a few years ago. The Bahá'í temple in the commune of Peñalolen it's a place made for all those people who need to reconnect with their faith or reflect on life regardless of their ethnicity, origin or religion. I went with my whole family a few years ago, i can´t remember the exact date but what I can remember is that is really hard to reach there jajaa. I live in Renca and I remember that easily was like 2 hours between the road to reach there that was like an hour, and another hour trying to go up because it's basically on a mountain and the day we went that was a mess with all the people trying to go up.  We really enjoyed the visit because it was such a beautiful and calmed place, the architecture on there was really beautiful and you have a beautiful view of the whole city. We made a walk around all the places that we can, in that time it was relatively new so some

A great place to visit

Hello everyone, in today's blog I am going to talk about a place in our country that I really liked when I visited it. The place I am talking about is Valdivia, I went to Valdivia in the summer vacations last year with all my family. We made a long trip by car to get there but it was a lot of fun because we made many stops along the way to eat and rest so the trip didn't feel so heavy. The first few days when we arrived we stayed in a hotel and basically did the usual things you do when you arrive in a new place, we did a big walk around the city to get used to it, but suddenly my dad found some friends he hadn't seen for a long time, so we stayed with them at their house the rest of the time we were in Valdivia. We had a great time with my dad's friends, they took us to many amazing places in Valdivia, but my favorite was a camping site that they knew and it was amazing, my younger sister really wanted to camp, so we did it for a couple of days. It was really amazing,

A family member

 Hi everyone, in today´s blog i have to write about someone from my family, so in this blog im going to talk about my little sister Amanda.  Amanda was born in 2014 so she is actually nine years old, she is going to school and is in fourth grade. She lives with her two parents and me (obviously). She is a very loving and energetic child, but she also has a very strong character. She is the complete opposite of me so obviously we get annoyed regularly like any siblings, I am much more quiet and calm and she is much more talkative and sociable, she is very distracted and not very good at keeping secrets, whenever we do something surprise like a birthday or anything we have to be very careful because she usually says it without meaning to, we always laugh about it. When we were younger I used to take care of her in the summer while my parents worked, I gave her breakfast and lunch and we were together all day, maybe that's why now we don't want to see each other hahahahahah. Even

My experience with English language

 Hi everyone, today i´m going to talk about my experience learning the english language. I think i started to learn English in the first years of school because before that i think i didn´t even know how to approach me to it. In the first years they teach you some basic vocabulary and the well kwon verb "to be", and i think that is one of the easiest thing; besides i think one of the most difficult thing for me it´s writitng, it´s so complicated they have so many grammar rules and some of them make absolutely no sense, jajajaj.  When i´m out of class i keep practicing by watching series in English with subtitles in Spanish so i can listen to the pronunciation and relate what i´m hearing with what actually it says in Spanish, i think doing this i learn the majority of what i know today, i´m not a native speaker but i can understand almost everything. When i´m in English class I think that the thing I enjoy the most is write the blog because i don´t write outside class so that

A book i recommend

Hi everyone in this blog im going to share a recommendation of a book I read some time ago. I hope you guys take a look at this book and enjoy it like I did when I first read it. This book is a classic, it's called the art of war by an ancient Chinese military strategist called Sun Tzu. I read this book for the first time like four or five years ago and then read it again a couple years after that. At first I read it because my dad recommended this book, he told me that I'm going to like it and he wasn't wrong. I like this book because it's easy to understand but it has an important message under that first layer that looks superficial, but it doesn't. What do I mean with this?, I mean that initially it looks like it's just a book where a general gives us tactics and strategies to win a war but you can simply notice that those words not only apply to war; you can apply it to your daily life. I think that's the most interesting part about this reading, the fa
