Original!
Some years ago, when I went to La Serena with a group of friends, on our way to this city, we saw a route sign that said “Fray Jorge Park, 10kms”. Most of us did not know anything about that national park, for being honest, nobody knew it.Thus, we decided to turn right and go to the park. After driving one hour away from the main route we got “Fray Jorge”, but it wasn’t an attractive natural feature, why? It was a deserted place, full of cactus, there was no living beings more than 2 hens feeding on dry plants. But the forest ranger, who welcomed us, said: “this is the beginning of our park; you have to climb up that hill to see something you cannot find in this part of our country.We took our car to the top of the hill, and suddenly the hill filled up of fog, we couldn’t see more than 4 meters. Finally, we found a beautiful place, a forest in a deserted area. Why is it possible? It has to do with the fog, thousands of years ago, La Serena and places around were a forest, but a humid forest called “Valdiviana” like the Chilean city in the south of Chile, and not a desert as we see nowadays. The climate change wiped out the forest, but at the top of the hill, fog provided enough humidity to keep these plants and trees alive.As a consequent, we loved that place. We never thought we could find that kind of place in a northern area of our country.

A place I visited! (corrected)
Gaining weight!
When I went through internet, I realised that there are some people who want to gain weight instead of loosing, can you believe it? Yes, it is true. But they have arguments, because of a sport, medical reasons, or even fashion.
Here you have some links to visit and get informed of these new wave:

Blogs in the Classroom
It’s for that that teachers have to take advantage of internet; internet is not an enemy, it’s an allied. There are several activities we can prepare for our students to be handed in and handed back through internet.
One of these helpful tools is to have a blog. However, do we know what blog means? What is it a blog? A blog (an abridgment of the term web log) is a website, usually maintained by an individual, with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse chronological order. (Taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog )
After knowing what it means, we can say that blogs mean direct interaction, because teachers can upload some information, tasks, thoughts or the class they had in the morning. If it is a task, we can ask students to comment what they think on a determined topic, and as teachers, we can give them feedback.
By using blogs, students develop their reading and writing skill, they do not realise that they are learning through having fun. Teachers can go to internet to check what their students are commenting and check if they are working from their houses.
Nevertheless, working with blogs has some disadvantage. When students have blogs, they do not have to work in group, it is a single work, because nobody else can write on blogs, people can only write posts; therefore, teachers have to ask students to post their classmates to have interaction. Therefore, when you become a teacher: Would you work with blogs?
“La Recoleta” is a fashion place in Buenos Aires, but this guy said to me: Why don’t we go to see the giant Flower? And I said to him: How big is it? He replied: Look at it!
It was across the street, so I saw it immediately. A huge flower!! It opens its petals when the sun rises, then it closes them when the sun sets. I think its size called my attention, besides that, it is beautiful, I felt impressed and I was moved. If you have any chance to go to “La Recoleta”, visit “The Giant Flower”, a monument dedicated to means of communication.
What was your least favourite school subject?
I think I disliked it because of the perspiration, I hate it, I cannot stand my body wet, or my forehead dropping perspiration, and however I have to work on it, for the reason that nowadays it important to have any physical activity. This happened through my twelve years at school.
Correction
As same as all my classmates’ title: “The commitments”
When Simon said: "compare the book with the movie" I wondered: "how am I going to do that!" At the beginning I thought in creating a special way of telling the story, or having a little research, but unfortunately I did not find anything creative to develop this task. Nevertheless, since I chose this career, I must be a teacher who is always doing his best, not staying and keeping useless ways of teaching. Thus, I wondered again: "Simon's task is going to be useful for me, great!"
Here we go!
The commitments, the movie; as in the book read, live in Dublin, Ireland. They are part of the working class, looking for better opportunities in a hard society full of difficulties. For that reason, Jimmy found a very interesting form of living the life: R&B and soul hits. But he needed a particular group of artists, the ones who could feel and live music . Consequently Derek, Outspan, Ray, Mickah and the sisters were the ones Jimmy wanted to have in a band.
As we already know, books taken to the cinema factory always have differences that a reader can find. For example, and most of my classmates agree with me, in the books, Some of The Commitments wanted to be performing again, some of them not. In the movie, everyone kept having their previous life (before being part of the group).
Finally, what we can save, like a piece of advice, is to have always a dream, a dream made come true, not a thing we cannot reach. By this it means, we have to overcome tough situations to get what we really want to get, even though there is no chance to obtain anything. Dreaming waiting for the day when everything will be true.

My favourite Gadget
When Simon asked us to put in our blogs the piece of technology we like the most, I could only think about my mp3 player. It is a useful piece of techonology that is part of my daily life. It goes with me everywhere. I can save more than 200 songs!!!
If I don't feel happy, I plug myself in and I have good time.Apart from that, I've got another favourite gadget... my laptop! What a smart person who created that gadget! It's wonderful to be writting down papers in bed, jejeje ; ) Most of the time I'm very lazy, so having my computer means I'll become lazier.
Finally, I've got a question for you blogger who are reading my blog... What is your favourite gadget???

The corrected version!!!
Some months ago I was in an electronic party, while on a wall of that club a movie was being projected. I could not find out its name, thus, I went to talk with the Dj to ask him what the name was…"Party Monster”.This movie tells the story of Michael Alig, a guy who organized huge and fabulous parties in New York; therefore it would be great if I could ask him why he invented such weird electronic parties, and certainly, I’d go to his parties, without trying drugs as he did.Apart from him, I would like to meet Benedict XVI…why? I’d ask him if God agrees with him, why Catholic Church does not donate its money, to eradicate poverty and famine in Africa and America. Two different characters that do different things, one of them made people have fun, the other one tries to manage his flock of sheep. Now, try to guess or to find out who is a murderer.
Rumble Fish
The Motorcycle Boy
Rusty James’ elder brother. A mysterious guy, who is in his early 20’s but he seems to be older. He was a gang leader when he was teenager. Besides that, The MCB is colour blind and a little bit deaf
Steve Hays
The good guy. He is a boy whose hobby (if it is considered as a hobby) is to study. Steve is very important for Rusty James, he is the person who advices Rusty James about dangers in life.
Patty
Rusty James’ girlfriend. A teenager in charge of her siblings, for the reason that her mother works fulltime. She is also attending a catholic school, but she wants to have fun with RJ.
Cassandra
The Motorcycle Boy’s chick, not actually his girlfriend, but she is always behind him. Cassandra is a drug addict, especially heroine addict. She does not know what to do whit her life.
Patterson
The police man. Patterson is the person who is always trying to catch MCB doing illegal things. He is a disgusting person, not nice. His character has to be the bad guy to give a dramatic touch to the movie
Smokey
He is a boy who has a close relationship with Rusty James and Motorcycle Boy. He does not have an important role in the movie, but his loyalty to MCB is showed at the end, when MCB is on the floor and Smokey is saying “Get away from him”
Rusty’s Parents
The only thing we can say, his father is an alcoholic, but it is seen in a scene, when MCB and Rusty are in a mattress with him showing a bit of love. Rusty’s mother leaves home when Rusty is 2 years old, she is living in Hollywood, she cares more about MCB than Rusty James, however, Rusty does care about his mother.

Maria Jose`s blog
She’s got a video bar on the right side of her blog, it is a very good idea, because if she finds interesting videos she can share them with people who visit her web page. Apart from that, she’s got links of their classmates, therefore, if we find some post we want to visit, we only have to click on these links and we will get Maria Jose’s classmates’ blogs. Consequently, Maria Jose’s blog can be an interesting blog if she puts more emphasis on updating links or videos, for the reason that she can have a nicer and better blog, it just depends on her, because she is creative and knows how to combine colors to make a blog attractive

Japanese learning English!
While watching this video, I noticed there are many ways of teaching a language. So, japanese people always find funny (sometimes silly) strategies to do it!
That video is quiet good. It repeats all the time the phrase we have to learn, and people learn useful sentences like: "Spare me my life, I was robbed by two men, take anything you want"
Thus, if you suffer from a robbery in an English speaking country, you could tell the police what happened to you.
