Help! I need somebody...

Hello my reader! Today I talk about a very special song for me: "Help!" by The Beatles. This song is one of my favorite songs in English -of course, I have a lot of "favorite songs" in this language, in special about The Beatles- I love it with lyrics and melody, in fact when I finish this term, I'll learn how to play this song in guitar because I can play at the moment "Eight days a week", "Please Mr. Postman" and "I want to hold your hand"

Perhaps you think that this Rock song is very simple and maybe boring (lyrics and/or melody) if it's compared with genres like Metal, Hard Rock, Folk or anything, but I think that this song is an icon of the Rock music. I suppose that everyone have listen this song something. I don't get angry if you hate this song, I respect all opinions -in taste there isn't any said, you know.



Every time that I listen this song, I feel a special energy that gives me more force and encouragement to realize my job more pleasant and light. When I'm home, my sister and me sing this song -we aren't the best singers but we do it with enthusiasm and this is important- and if we continue singing, someday we’ll do it perfectly (practice makes the master)
If you haven’t listen this song yet. I put a link for this purpose. I hope that you enjoy it.

England: A very interesting place to visit

Hello again! Today I talk about a place that I'd like to visit: England. Why this place you'll wonder? Well, I'd like to visit this place because I want to know London, other cities and of course, Liverpool, The Beatles' birthplace (it could sound like an "extreme fanaticism" but I'm so happy thinking about this idea.)

All I know about England is about its interesting museums, nice parks, and amazing places like palaces, its extensive subway and other similar things. But I also know about its climate, a bit of its geography and history (for example the legend of King Arthur)
If I go to England, I'd visit in first place, the museums and parks. Then I'd visit important buildings (like La Moneda Palace in Chile) and I'd like to visit National Parks and similar. But the most important thing that I'd do is to sail across the River Thames -River Mapocho could be navigable like River Thames, do you think the same? Apart from this, I'd like to go to Liverpool because I want to know the "origin" of The Beatles and the places that they used as inspiration to create their songs and movies.
In the future, I'd like to stay a season in England studying a postgrade about my career and improving my spoken English, but I don't know if I'd like to live in England because I'd have to know the reality of this country, moreover, I like Chile and I don't know if I could be far of my country. Perhaps I change my opinion and I'll live in England or, who knows, in other country. When the time has come, I'll choose some option but this isn't mean that I won't travel to other places. In fact, since that I was younger so much younger than today, I've ever wanted to travel to very different places.

Avelinda: Free as a bird

Hello, hello! Today I invite you to read my blog because I'm going to write a special issue: A cat called "Avelinda" (it's three-years cat) You can think that this issue is stupid or bored or not interesting for you, but if you read it you'll discover that this topic is very singular. I invite you to read my blog, you won't regret, I promise (the cat in the picture is Avelinda)

When I was younger so much younger than today Avelinda (it's called Avi too) arrived to my house in summer (January), 2008. It's yellow with orange lines across its body except its paws, which are white like if Avi wears white gloves, and its breast, which is white. Its nose is pink (pale pink), its big eyes are yellow like two amber stones and it has a long white whiskers. Avi is very friendly (even with strange people), nice, lovely, observer, careful, prudent, ticklish and smart with a unique preferences. Whenever I whistle, Avi runs to me meowing as if it would want to ask me "What's happen now?". 

Avi sleeps with me all the year. When it's hot, Avi enters to my house at nights but if it's cold Avi is sleeping all the day inside my house in different parts like the sofa, armchairs, beds, etc.  Avi has a favourite place: the kitchen. Every time that somebody is cooking something in the kitchen, Avi is sitting on the bench looking to the person for that this one gives something food to Avi, then Avi will answer with a noisy miaow or a loud purring.

However, the Avi's strange thing is its peculiar sense of taste because it doesn't eat only cat food, milk, flesh, meat or something, but it eats vegetables and sweet things! These things are bread, tomatoes, potatoes, bananas, pumpkin, chestnut, rice, pastas, corn, beets, avocado, carrots, cakes, pies, jams and similars, but Avi loves the chocolate made by my mom, specially if the chocolate is made when it's cold or when it's late (at night) Avi never gets tired of eating chocolate; while it eats more, more noisy is its miaow and its purring. 
 
Avi is a very special cat and its special nature is what like to me. I love this cat eight days a week.

2º Term: The nightmare before christmas

       All of you are welcome to my English IV blog. In this oportunity I talk about this singular term that begins in December and finishes in March. Yes it is!
       I started this term very happy because I don't want to lost this term (and the courses) and get behind in a year of my career. With regard to my expectations, they are the following: I hope to pass all of courses and don't sit for exam, I hope to obtain good marks (in "blue color" and over 5.0) and I hope that the academic burden isn't hard or I'll be working like a dog.
       This term I took 6 courses: 4 are from my career, 1 sport CFG and English IV. The 4 courses are Estructuralismo, Prehistoria II, Etnología en Chile and Taller de Investigación. About sport CFG, this term I took Yoga because this kind of CFG are obligatory in my career and I think that to do sport is very important for our health body.

       When I was younger so much younger than today I did a extraordinary term in December 2008 and January 2009 in Bachillerato, so I have the experience and I'm not afraid or angry or sad but I'm not happy either. I want that this term "flies" very fast.
