Report....

I'm write this report because I know that you enable a room for new students in the area of English, to that used in the time with no classes.I think a great idea because I like old student at the university believe that there is not a specific place for students of English, then I think the new students of English will be happy to have a place to chat in English or make their respective tasks.

My advice is that the classroom should be divided into schedules so all students have the chance to use and does not form a disaster, I also believe that besides being a place to talk should be a place with computers to also be they can practice in either learning new vocabulary and so on.

In my opinion I consider it a good idea and that should have been created much earlier, so that students can have our own space.

Your Faithfully.

Formal transactional letters...


Dear Editor:

The reason for my letter is to clarify a few things that came out in the written report published by the newspaper last weekend about the shows, I had the time to read again and again the report and realized that there were many errors and many important enough data were altered and in some cases ignored.
For example first the demonstrations were not only on the extinction of snails, also on the destruction of forests. Second place was a big mistake to write and say that the number of people who attended the demonstration was about 200 and the truth is that they were more than twice that or 2000 people, big mistake not you think?.
Another of the mistakes that you and your editorial was that said all the protesters shouted slogans and the truth is it was a very peaceful and silent demonstration. You said the "troublemakers" were people from other parts of the country and that is absolutely false as many of them were residents of the same place.
Therefore I would like you could send a reporter to my home in order to clarify the doubts and mistakes so that you can be given good information to readers and gladly answer any necessary questions.


Your , Faithfully

Paulina Figueroa.

Earth and Environment.


Ten years ago when we went with my family on vacation in southern chile something rather special happened to us, we did not know the south of Chile but we had heard that the climate was quite varied that one day could be very hot and the next day rain could very strong, and one day my family went to the lake Caburga that was a very nice day it was very hot so we went to the lake, and when we returned to the camp the day began to darken it began to run much wind blowing very strong and it rained in torrents with my sister was terribly concerned that the trees were moving much and for a moment the power went off and stayed in the dark and can only hear the wind blow and the trees which moved from side to side.

What can ordinary people do to help in the flight against crime?


This article is dedicated to the youth of chile...

In my opinion crime in our country and is fairly common, because every day in the news we hear of robberies to assaults on houses shops, kidnapping, drug trafficking and the laws are getting worse for prisoners who take but within days they are released for lack of evidence, we're really bad, and the most disturbing of all is that they are children of 11 and 15 years who rob, assault, so children are not afraid of anything because they know that the taken prisoner and then released because they are minors.
so I think it is very important for people especially the youth take the initiative to be good people, trying to be professionals to motivate their peers to start recreational sport where youth can express themselves and thus reduce crime in our country also a very important role as parents met and these are the example for their children so if you live in an environment of social danger, do not imitate the bad habits that you can be a young professional.
and most importantly is that if you let yourself go with the environment in which you live you will be a criminal and I think your as young do not deserve this life, take advantage and enjoy your youth.

Chain Stories...

Alright, ever since I moved into my house, all this stuff has been happening. Me and my friend Daniela was staying at my house one weekend, and it was maybe about 2 or 3 in the morning. I was on the computer, and she was half asleep next to me on the couch. I was about to go to sleep, but I heard like a ball drop behind me. I didn’t know what it was, so I asked Daniela if she heard that. she didn’t answer me with a yes or no, it was more like a hmm. well, after that ,I went to lay down. I was about asleep when I heard my door open in my room. I told Daniela to go in there with me to see what it was. I finally got her up. she walked in the hallway with me, and my door was wide open. I thought that my dog maybe opened it or something, but she was outside. I was REALLY scared. the next day, I told my brother what happened, like he believed me. maybe a week later, I started to see red stuff like a kind of faded red, running from my attic down to my wall. I asked my sister was it was, and she said it looks like blood .I never did really know what it was , but after that, I never seen it again. I kept wondering why all this stuff was happening. I heard a story that an old man and an old lady have died in my house way before I moved in it, but I don’t think I believe that story...

Speculating in the past.

Picture 1:

- They must have shoot a scene from a horror film.
- The waiter may have put a ballon on the head because it is a part of the restaurant show.

Picture 2:

- The girls may have to tried a dance war inspired
- The girls must have learned to fire shooting



Miriam's disastrous trip

1- prepared to leave your luggage and your tourist guide to well-placed to Instead he went.

2- she must leave everything ready the day before, airfare, tour guide, luggage, so that the day of the trip did not have any problem and he does not spend all that way when I get to Indonesia, that was lost, the first night will lodge in a very expensive hotel so that means you do not prepare well for travel.


3- I think it if it is ready to face all the problems alone in a country that is not his own without a tour guide I think that should be returned to their country because being in an unknown location run the risk that something happens to me, then I think it must return to his country.

The best way to travel in Santiago.


I think is not better way to travell as all ways we have to mobilize or transport within Santiago are quite bad ... to my thinking that the transantiago looked like a very nice project but at the time that was opened or who started this new single transport mechanism was chaos as people were not well informed about new routes of the buses and the fare they would have these buses, the thing is that in times of greater flow of people who were 7 in the morning at that hour that most people go to work and young will be considered, and the 6 o' clock hour when all leave their jobs as a consequence the collapse was terrible subway also join those time people desperate to get on a subway and all the people pushed, many people faint that it was very hot it was terrible and this aglomeration of people also lent itself to tap into and thieves stole from the people , but all is not as bad as it implemented a system to BIP is the card in which one's load with money and transport it either cancels the subway or buses.

Generally do not like the tarvel system here in Santiago is very bad but unfortunately there if we have to deal with car.

TRAVEL NARROWS THE MIND....


I do not agree with the writer that I do not think that travel narrows the mind, because seeing that in a destructive way to travel teaches us think much we learn other languages, know too many people, places and landscapes dreamed, and that mind traveling 20 or 30 hours at a place like AUSTRALIA OR JAPAN change if we know other cultures different traditions, ideologies and so on. I think what the writer says it does not matter much when people travel only care about the advantages and disadvantages of not travel anywhere in the world, whether near or far.

Travel...

Comprehension Questions.



Drinking Mate in an Argentine commune.




  1. Where does she live?

  2. Where did she learn about medicinal herbs?

  3. Who has a small museum of herbology?
  4. What are the ingredients of a mate?
  5. In which place she learned drink yerba mate?.


I'd like to visit Argentina rather than Australia because first I'm really scared to get on a plane and travel to Australia for many hours of flight and to go to Argentina is much closer and so I would take much less time coming.Another thing why I like to travel to Argentina more than Australia's because Argentina also has many beautiful places street "Caminito", stages of the most famous soccer teams of Argentina, as are those of Boca Juniors and River Plate, but also that people have something super characteristic Argentina taking YERBA MATE.

City v/s Countryside... advantages

Advantages in the Country...

- The People can go to a lot of entertaining places, Discoteques, pubs etc.
- Access to a Public Transportation
- Every Municipality have malls and in this malls we can find cinema, fasty food, and buy a lot of clothes.
- Access to modern teachnology.

I' d prefer to live in the City rather than in the Country side because...
in the city we can find many things and places to go in free times for example you can go to the movies in my case I love going to the movies with my boyfriend, but we also love going to eat at different places, for example I ' d prefer Italian food rather than chinese food.
Also in the city people have access to public transportation such as subway and buses etc, but in the city people do not pay the cash transport since the government introduced a new system BIP card which is very good.
The three greatest advantages is that there are many places that Visistar, public transport and finally technology.

But the best advantage is that in the city have varied entertainment for all tastes and Discotheques, Pubs, Restaurants, Cinemas etc.
The young people for example loves to go dancing with friends on the weekend, as other people like to go eat somewhere or as I like my going to the movies with my boyfriend, then is very important meeting they have places where one can see in our free time.
so I prefer to live in the city is much more entertaining.

Town v/s Country

In my case I prefer to live in the city but many people say it is a very polluted and dangerous place, but I love that was born, raised and actually live in the city.
I do not think my life could begin again in the country.
But I like the country because it is a quiet place where people are friendly.
you can breathe clean air thing here in the city can not do. Besides the country is a place where one can relax and take a nice vacation just for the country I like to go on vacation.

Shopaholic !!!

I think to be shopaholic people are dangerous because they start buying a few things and then buy without measure, and often these people dont' have money to buy but are beginning to sell their own things, to buy so excessive, they are sick because each time go through a mall need to know to buy something.

I give some advice:

1- Go to the gym
2- Go to the cinema with other people
3- Go to the beach
4- Don't go to mall
5- Doesn't handle money.
6- You don't buy alone

Describing People...

Three years ago, went out one night dancing with my cousins, we had great fun but we never thought that I was going to pass something so incredible.
at one point was taking a quiet drink watching the people watching me and feel that I look back and it was a tall man short-haired and handsome I looked very smooth and I got very very nervous that I also found it very nice, but I was a little embarrassed to approach and ask her name, so I went to the dance floor and I started dancing with another man, but I followed watching.
after a while, my cousins told me that the closer to me to ask as it was but I would not dare.
wearing a white vest and a brown jacket with a blue jeans looked nice, until he approached me and asked me my name and how many years I have answered that call me that Pauline was then 23 years he told me that his name was Gonzalo who had 26 years studying journalism, and so we started to talk a long time then told me I was beautiful and that if I wanted to give him my phone and I told him yes.


and since then my boyfriend and is the most incredible person I've ever known and I thought you would find love in a place like that, but I also believe in destiny and I think that was the target who put us in the place and time to gather accurate.

My Favorite Film.

The movie I chose to discuss is called "Cuenta Regresiva" Where the actor is Nicolas Cage.
I do not have a favorite movie but it is one of those I liked most and which is still running.

The story concerns a professor who discovers a time capsule buried in the college of your child. This has frightening predictions, some of which have already happened to others but not yet. In this way, the teacher realizes that at the end of the week will be the end of the world.

I liked this movie that the Plot is very interesting and has very good special effects.

The computer has greatly improved our lives today.

First of all say that computers are the greatest invention that is a fact since using this device we can find information.
-The advantages of computers is that we can communicate with many people around the world, this is a very useful tool to work like that some people feel very attached to the computer.

-Young people use it for homework and search for information among other argue that are given, they have another advantage is that there are computer models that are very practical and can lead to different places so it is more comfortable for many people, so that since this is a place that can chat with friends and family etc..

-Disadvantages of computers in children is not very good to spend so much time in front of a computer, but on the one hand help to find information for their tasks, but is also dangerous because they can not find suitable sites for minors.

- The parents need to know two things in balance, and finally another disadvantages is that it discovered a different cybercrime offenses pornography.

Song

My life is brilliant.
my love is pure.
I saw an angel.
of that i'm sure.
She's smiled at me in the subway.
She was with another man.
but I won't lose no sleep on that,
cause I've got a plan.

You're beautiful, you're beautiful
you're beautiful I'ts true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
and I don't know what to do ,
cause I'll never be with you.

BY James Blunt...


I love this song, specially this paragrah, because is very similar to what happened to me when I met my boyfriend, " I saw you're face in a place where there many people" and I love it .
Also find that the song is very nice and very simple, but at the same time says a lot, so I chose this song from the first moment I heard that charm I think It's a very nice song and very romantic.

Informal letters
