correction

(this is the original)

What aspect of Chilean culture you disapprove of?

Actually, I get up set when people answer their cell-phone and start to yell when trey are tolking with someone else ..... you know wthat I mean? That kind of behaviour is what annoys me most because why do we have to hear their conversation? Actually you only want to stay quiet and relax because how you know in our city is so difficult to find a place where you really can be in silence. Unfortunately our city is so noisy and discusting ....so ..What do you think about it?Do you think that is a lack of respect ehrn people start to yell at someone by cell-phone?Is that behaviour something that you disapprove?

the best blog....

ok....I was doing a little bit of "Internet zapping" on my classmates' blogs and it was pretty difficult to have just one favorite blog because they are all pretty nice, beautiful an colorful like lissette's or Carla's but the one that I liked the most was Nicky's.

Her blog has a great style , It's just like her!...She likes colors and her blog has lots, it's just so bright with all those colors and I think it reflects her personality , a happy really happy girl.

The blog's name is really interesting and ingenious and what came to my mind when I read it is a spell of the Harry Potter movie which I know Nicky loves.
The photographs that she upladed are so gorgeous and colorful and I think that's the reason why I picked this one as my favorite.

Also I liked the things she had wrote..I agree with almost all the thing she wrote.

What I don't really like is that it hasn't a picture of her , I would've liked it more if it would have been a nicky's photo.

anyway, this is my favorite blog and I'm stick to my decision.

Complaint

Dear Mayor:

I'm writing to draw your attention to the problem of information that is not been given to the people of my borough.
I must inform you how shocked I was with an information that I didn't know it existed at all. I was working at the restaurant and a couple of costumers started a conversation with me and they told me that they were two monitors of the activities that have place in the gym of the township wich actually I didn't know it existed either.
How can that be possible?, I live just a few blocks away from the municipality and I didn't know that there were summer activities and I'm pretty sure that my neighbours didn't know either.

I really think you should solve this problem by doing some information activity that include all the people who live in the borough because it could be very helpful for some people who couldn't go out on vacations to get the summer going or those physical activities could be really helpful for people who like sports and don't have the money to pay a particulary gym, and so on.

I hope this matter will be resolved as soon as possible and that it will receive your immediate attention because people of your own borough could be better off with those kinds of activities.

I hope you understand,
Romina Hurtado.-

My Easter...


ok...

My easter was just ok. I'm not that kind of person who goes to the church in days like these but the thing I did was to be with all my family and just have a nice time together , We also have very good news share with each other , for example that my brother is getting married on December of this year and that two of my cousins are going to be parents again! so the family is getting bigger and bigger, and all that is going to happen this year so ...we conclude that this year is going to be spectacular!
I really love to be with my family , we , I mean my cousins, brother and me, still exchange those chocolate eggs even though we're not children anymore and the very best thing is that this kind of moments are still fun for us because we're so closed to each other.


I really enjoy this easter , I hope you readers had enjoyed this recent easter as much as I did.

c'ya!

bye!

An aspect of my culture I dissaprove of...

I just don't undestand why chilean people always do their duties the day before and even the minute before.
We always finish our duties in the last minute even if we have time to do it before , I think we (I dont know if this is the right word but...) we "prefer" to do thing in the last minute.
There are some people who have told me that they work better under pressure, so it's sort of a common custome to do things this way.
Unfortunately I'm one of this bunch of people, I'm always doing my stuffs and duties the munite before the dead line. It's just because I'm a little lazy.

Other Thing I relly don't like is when people arrive late to everywhere!
I mean, it's ok when you eventually arrive late somewhere but not always.
I tried to explain the following case to my interviewee:
If you were the boss of your own company, would you like your employees to arrive late and give the files you asked them to give you ,would you like them to give it to you late??
I don't think so.
so..
What do people think about this specific bunch of people?
what woul you do do in the boos situation?
Do you think this costume is ok or is it wrong?

BBC WebSite!

I've never seen this website before and I really think it is amazing.

When I first saw it I thought that is was good already , just because it was full of links and it had variated links to suit all the tastes: to improve pronunciation , to look for some quizzes, links for the teachers and some others special links.

I got into the pronunciation site and checked it and it's a really good site to practice. It has listening excersices which you can put, hear and repeat the times you want,it's pretty cool and really helpful because someone could learn English just by doing these kinds of excersices and practices.
The pronunciation of the woman who talks is very clear, so everyone could understand.

Other thing that I saw was the listening quizzes of this pronunciation link and I realized that we , as english students, can improve our knowledge in the phonetic subject.
Everything in this space has to do with phonemes, allophonems and the phinetic symbols , so it's very helpful and useful also.

There's also a link for teachers where there are some tips of activities for the teachers to do in a class with their students. I thinks that's very useful because teacher can innovate their methods and be more creative an dinamic.

I really loved this website and I'm going to look a it pretty often.
