Learning English with HB

Hi guys!  

We start a new week in The Other View!

We are a few days to begin the World Cup in Brazil! And our national team play de first match this Friday against Australia. Everybody it's very exciting for the match and many chileans have traveled to Brazil. But when you go to other country it’s very important the language that you speak.  English it’s the most common language to speak with anybody and it’s very important to communicate in a World Cup.

In my experience learn English has been very interesting. I got have inter mediate level in the university and every day I try study (Obviously, I can´t always. But I try). At moment I’m studying in the fourth level in the university. It’s the last level, so I’m very exciting for finish and have a good knowledge of the language. For example, every monday we write in our blogs about experience, opinion, and thinking about many themes. Of course, it’s everything in english. This is a good tool for write a perfect english.

I think, I need to be improved the pronunciation also remind the basic grammatical and strengthen that I know. Just I have organized me and study and I will get.

At the moment I use the english for few thing. The most habitual use is for read the newspaper: The guardian, The New York Times and The telegraph. Also I read the sport news in english pages, that, almost always are about tennis. But, I speak very little withy other persons, just in the english class on Thursdays. These is the one thing I try to improved, I need speak more in english.

For this, the key for learn a good english and have a good knowledge the language it’s the practice. Just with this tool I will can get a perfect english and I will can communicate with anybody of the world. 

Weel friend it's all for today.

See you in the next publication!

Bye Bye

One Year. Six months

Hi guys!

We start a new week in The Other View!

Had pass six months of this year, and that mean that we pass a excelent moments or bad moments, with our friends, family or partner in university. Anyway, bad or good moments have everybody.

In this oportinity, I remind my experience in this year as a form to demostrate that always we need make a balace of those things we did and did not.

Well, this year have been very dificult for me in all the thems because it’s a fourth year in the university in journalism career. It’s the most complicate year in all the carrer becouse the course ara dificult and you haven’t time for nothing. But, I had a good experience, in my opinion I tried to have balance in all the thing.

Also, I practice sport: tennis. This sport isn’t just a hobby for me becouse I’m a coach of fifteen children students of the Instituto Nacional, one of the most important college of Santiago and Chile. I started my second year with this job and we have planed travel to tennis Championhip in Mendoza, Argentina. After this we have continue with the training for travel to Punta Del Este, Uruguay representing to Chile in other tournament. ¿Do you know Mendoza or Punta del Este? Well, I don’t, therefore it’s a very important oportunity for me.

In my free time, above all, in holidays I was in National Park Torres del Paine for two week. I was with other three partners of university. To be honest, the travel not I was hope, because one of my friends had a knee injury, and he felt a lot of pain. Anyway, was a amazing travel for the south of Chile with beautiful landscape and very funny people.

Finally, I hope this year become one of the best year in my life becouse  I continue with the job as coach tennis, I going to try to look a good internship in some media (I would like TV or radio). Also, I hope have a good performance in all the tournament inside university.

Well friend, I hope that all this become to reality and now: ¿What about you?

See you in the next week in The Other View!!

Bye Bye

Comics & Cartoons

Hi guys!

We start a new week on my blog: the Other View!

I hope you have a nice week in the company of my blog. This week we have a very interesting topic: the comics or cartoon of our childhood.

When I was a child, I saw a lot of cartoons. Comics not much (to be honest I don´t follow the comics because never was attractive for me). But, in my experience, the cartoons are the best network that we have in the childhood. We tried being the principal characters of our favorite cartoon or comic. We stayed too much hour in front of TV seeing and never it boring us.  

My favorite cartoon is the “Detective Conan” (how it was called in Latin America), and the argument was a teenager (Bobby Jackson, the best detective in the west zone) who is transformed into a child after two people attack. In this moment, he started a resolve a lot of cases under name the other detective “Carlos Guzman” (who is the father of his girlfriend, Claudia). And with the company of four children more, he has many adventures.

This it’s one of my favorite cartoons because always, when I come back to the school and turn on TV, is the first appear on the screen and, obviously, the argument and the characters I liked so much. Also, I tried resolving all the cases, but I never could discern the guilty…

Well guys, that’s all for today! And see you soon in the next week with another interesting topic!

Cheers! Bye Bye!

The Ecological Friendly Practice.

Hi guys!

We start a new week on my blog “The Other View”!

This week, we have a very interesting topic that has a lot of importance for the world: Ecological friendly practice.

Well, I’m from Temuco. This place is in the south of Chile, at moment it’s the most polluted city Chile and one of the most polluted Latin America. For this, the ecological practices are very important for me as citizen. At now, in Santiago another much polluted city, I learned more about this practice. Simple practice like no littering on the street is a good way to help to keep a clean city.

But in Temuco, I don´t know places or friendly group where practice this. Really, I’m so worry for my city, because it’s a beautiful city with many places to visits, very touristic and in this moment stay in the newspaper for this is very disappointed.

Anyway, in these two cities I’m walk. Almost never I take the car or bus (obviously, if the distance is very long, I do). This is the way in that I help in the city: not using means of transport that generates pollution.

Truth, I support all the ambient campaign, but I’m not a great following of this group, because I’m a few indifferent in front of this groups. In front of this campaign I say “Yes, it’s very important for the world, for the people and future…” but in the practice, I’m indifferent, I have to recognize.  

I would like cooperate more. In general all the people care of her and do not have time to worry about others. In this context I prefer cooperate by using the bicycle, or walking, for me is the best form to help to this group.

The Brazilian Situation

Hi guys!

We started a new week in “The other view”. I hope you are very well and have a nice week.

Today, this article will talk about: South America! At moment a lot of things had happen in this place of the world. Venezuela, Colombia, Chile, Brazil and Argentina have been in the newspaper for different situations.

Especially we going to talk about the kidnapping in Rio de Janeiro, a place where in few weeks will play de World Cup Brazil 2014.

This time, a young woman (18 year old) and the bus driver who were threaten by a stranger in the Brazil avenue in north of “Rio”. The others managed to escape the bus before the offender threatened. The Brazilian police make a good job when in a rain afternoon, captured to the kidnapper, who was identified like a man of 35 years old and addict to the crack.

This news, remind to the Rio de Janeiro citizens when, 14 year ago, happened a similar situation. In this opportunity, a young woman was murdered by the Brazilian police after of an individual hijack a bus in the same street.

In a city that in few weeks else receive the World Cup It’s very alarming for tourist, soccer players and general public. This situation adds to other problems in the organization of the World Cup. We remember the protests for the expensive in the stadium building in all the cities headquarters in Brazil. The people aren’t happy with this situation and demonstrate worry, thinking about the favela, in the suburbs of the city where there is days where the people don’t have to eat, the house building its bad and the money in not enough to live.

Well guys, I hope this situation ends soon the Brazil 2014 World Cup just bring us good news for lovers of football and sport in general; and tarnished by unpleasant situations.

That’s all guys. See you soon.

I waiting for you in the next week

When I was drink the fourth  piscola, I feel that all it was in movement. I was dizzy. But, doesn’t mind in that moment.  I followed dancing and drinking, until that I can´t remenber nothing more.  After, wake up beside the tree, with two friends that staying care for me.
