My blogging experience

Imagen
Hi, today i’m going to tell you about how was my experience blogging.                                                    First, I must say it has been the first time I take the English class because I didn’t need to complete the first 2 courses. So, blogging was new to me, I neither had an account before.                                  The blog I liked most was the one in we had to write about a trip. It reminded me very good memories with my family. The blog I liked least was the one in we had to say what we liked to do outside, I found difficult to choose because I don’t like to do things outside too much. The blog I enjoyed most was from Mary, because I laughed a lot especially in the tragic ones. I think writing constantly has helped my English improve but I think ...

A toy

I  had many toys, because since I was an only child I received many of them. But one of the toys I liked most was a leopard plush and it was from my mom. She was given it by my grandpa when she was little. It was a white leopard and  was very good made, it even had whiskers. And It had yellow eyes, I liked them a lot. One day when I was like 6-7 years old we were tiding up the house and when I found it I asked my mom if I could keep it.                                                                                                     I was quite hyperactive as a child, I liked to grab it by the tail and throw it in the air. This makes sense because there was a song called “El gato volador” and I did that thing every time the...

A phone app you use a lot

Imagen
Hi classmates today I’m going to talk about Instagram, because that’s the app I use the most now. I have been using it since one year ago I think. I had an account before but never really paid attention to it. When this network appeared everyone was join it but I didn´t care because In that time I didn´t like to upload photos. Now I use it for sharing photos, of course, but I also view it as a kind of virtual magazine, because I can see everyone’s content on there (not only photos) but videos, adverticings, event announcements, online stores, funny things, and even linking with other people.              I never logout so I’m at every time but I normally spend 30 minutes throghout day checking it. If I have free time I could spend 2 hours wasting my time on it just watching silly things.                   I like to use it because now everyone seems to be more able to contact there rather than on fac...

A special place you like.

Hello clasmates today i’m going to talk about the Cuatro Esquinas Beach. It’s one of the most known beaches on La Serena city. I’ve gone there since I was very Little, when I lived in the region and used to go with my parents. I loved to wait for the summer and do typically things kids do in the beach like building sandcastles, collecting shellfish, swimming or just walking in the sand. My dad used to have a bodyboard table and he always would help me to learn to swim using these. It was quite fun until the table broke. My mom didn’t liked too much the sea, so she just would look after us from behind. After all the swimming we’d take hot tea and eat palmeras and cuchuflí (these are some wafer-like sweets that is sell on the beach). Then, when I was starting to go out with friends, we would pick this beach as one of our favorite places to visit. We’d go swimming in the summer or walking and watching the commerce stands. We’d always buy natural fruit juices. Now, when I go to la Ser...

A piece of technology you like at the moment

I’d say that the tecnologic object I like most is my Smartphone. I use it for diverse proposes beside calling or texting. If I have free time I like to watch music videos or tutorials on the youtube application. If i´m bored I go on Instagram or Facebook and watch memes. I also like to use Instagram for sharing pictures or videos. But the most important thing I can do with my phone is listening music and save it. I have done that with an mp3 when there were not smartphones or they were too expensive but the mp3 players had very Little memory or they often got damaged. Now with the phone is easier. Another application I always use is whatssap, it’s very useful because is the faster way to get in contact with people. You can also can have group conversations on it and even if you don’t feel like writing you can just send voice notes. Altough is useful, I think that you are almost obliged to have a smartphone and be 24/7 on it nowdays and have social networks because everyone is communi...

Something you like to do outside

Imagen
Hi classmates today i’m going to talk about what I like to do outside. I’m really not an outside person, I prefer doing activities at home or indoor places but If I had to choose one thing it could be workout. It doesn’t matter what type of exercise, It’s a different sensation from doing it at home or at a gym. When I was little, and lived in La Serena with my parents, we’d go riding bike at the beach on sundays. I liked the fresh marine breeze, and the exercise machines that they had on the coast. I also like running when I visit my grandma and have to stay for days. I go to the 3 Poniente park. It’s small, but there is enough place to go running, biking or doing exercise in the machines. There is a soccer field and a basketball court too. Another physical activity could be walking in new places. When I’m going on vacation with my family, we always set a day just for walking and knowing the place. The last summer we went to Lago Ranco and the day I most ...

my 16th birthday

Imagen
My 16th birthday was a bit unusual. I was still on school, and never gone to a concert before (I think it’s because I wasn’t into music before and these spectacles always take place in Santiago and I lived in La Serena at that time) and given the oportunity, I knew that Paul McCartney was coming to Chile, like 2 days before my birthday so I asked my parents for letting me go to this concert as a birthday present. They also like his music and listened to The Beatles in their youth, so they agreed and also bought their own tickets. We almost didn’t get tickets because a lot of people wanted to go to this concert, the most expensive ones got sold out instantly and so the cheaper tickets and I was devastated. One week later, They announced another concert date and I could get tickets for me and my family and I was very happy. I also went to the concert with 2 friends I’ve met through a Facebook fan-group. We knew each other asking for tickets in that group. The day of the concert i was...
