Cultural Radar

 Hi, today im going to talk about an article of "On my Radar" by The Guardian, and my own cultural radar. 

Im going to talk about the article of Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy in Harry Potter movies). In this article Tom Felton Talk about:

1. Theatre, the musical "Dear Evan Hansen", a musical that tell about teen suicide. 

2. Album, specifically George Harrison: All Things Must Pass. In this Felton tell us that he is a fan of the Beatles.

3. Book, Captain Sir Richard Francis Burton: A Biography by Edward Rice. This is the book that he are readind at this moment (jan 15 2022)

4. Film, "Vivo", he is a fan of Lin-Manuel Miranda, and he like very much this film

5.Place, Westminster Abbey. he is a fan of the history, and he read a poem of Christmas carol service.

6. Sports, specifically Formula One. He like this for the emotion that he feels watching the car race.

For me the most interesting topic was the film because, i like the animation movies, the way they created a world and give life to a characters, i dont watch this film but i want to see it. 

My Cultural Radar

1. Series of animation, The Amazing World of gumball. 

This is my favorite serie, i like the simpleness of the characters, but the form that he mocks the everyday things of life in an ironic way, in adittion to dealing with topics such as depression, copy right, etc. Gumball is my animal spirit. 

2. Book,"War cross". This book tell us the story of a girl in a futuristic world where the tecnology domitated the world, she must enter in a videogame to save the world for the control of they emotions, like robots). This is my favorite book, and the autor´s coming to Chile in Octuber. 

3. Song. "The greates show man". Is the principal song of the movie with the same name. It talk about nothing is impossible in this life, we can do anithing. 

4. Fashion. I like the idea that the style and the clothes is a form of art, and you dont have to buy a new clothes to have a style, it is created with the form of the hair, the accesorys and the actitud. i dont know how to explain this:(. 

5. Place, the beach of El tabo. i think this is my place of peace, no much persons going to this place, have a vibes of calm, the only thing you hear are the waves of the sea. 

 

6. Food, Sushi, I really like sushi, but only vegetarians or with chicken, is a food that makes me want to eat all time, is a one of the wonders of the world. 

Concert i went to

 Hi, today im going to talk about a concert that i went 

For this dates but in the last year the Tour of Big time Rush called "Forever Tour" it was announced, i remember was in a class of physics when i saw the post on instagram and i couldn´t concetrate again. I wrote to my friend Constanza (who is fan too), and in this moment  we decided that we would go yes or yes. 

This year in February i went to saw the concert of Big Time Rush with my friend, it was amazing, im very fan of this band since i was 8 years old (im 19 years old), and saw them was a dream. We were very near the stage, so the sound and the view was incredible. The band play several songs, new and old, because they had separeted and hadn´t released music for almost 10 years, and hear the songs that i listened when i was a child its so crazy. 

This day in general was very innusual, because this week i was in the beach with my firiends (including Constanza) and this day specifically we were going back to Santiago. We took a bus at 11 am and we arrived at 1 pm,when i arrived my house like 2 pm i ate, order and clean, and i went to the concert. Its strange think about 6 hours later i was in the beach and next i was in a concert, its crazy.  

Interesting trip

Hi, today im going to talk about an interesting trip that i have.

It was when i stay in 10th grade, for the school trip we went to Camboriu, Brasil. It was an amazing, funny and interesting trip, i went with my school friends that i known them since i was 6 years. We took a plane at 3 am roughly and we landed at 8 am (time to Brasil).

In this trip we walk so much, we went to the beach, we´re going on a boat, we dance everyday and we ate different food. One day we went to a cable railway (like cerro san cristobal), and the view of Brasil from the top of the hill was amazing, we saw so much trees and the beach in the distance. And later, we occupy a canopy to go down the hill, at first i was a little scared , because it was a high drop, but when i saw the view and i felt the wind on my face, it felt incredible, this is the top moments of my life. 

We spent here one week, but i felt it short, i would have liked to have been more. This trip was in december 2019, and 3 moths later the covid arrived in the world.

Experience writing this blogs

 Hi, for the last post in this semester, i will talk about the experience writing this blogs 

My favorite post was "my group of friends" or "family meal" because i like talk about persons that i love, one group is my family and the other the family that i choose (yes, very corny), and i enjoyed writing about the experience with them.

My least favorite post was "favorite social media", because i dont know so much about the app and i had to investigate on internet, i dont enjoyed writing this :((  also i like many others app and i never stopped to think which was my favorite. 

I enjoyed read Joselyn's blog, because she is my friend and i like know the experience, tastes and opinions about my friends, even more if we writing about the sames topics in our blogs. 

With this blogs i think that my english is better than Catalina of march of this year, i dont study english since 2019 (in the pandemic i have english in the school but online and is difficult learn in this situacion), i have been able to remember words and grammar, and i think i can improvise writing in english (with a little help in some words)

I like write in the blogs because it help me to trying to think in english and how write what i want to say, i dont know in my opinion is funny jajaja. But i dont like when i dont know what to say (in spanish or english) on my own blog or in the blogs from the class. 

In my opinion write in one language that is not yor own language helps a lot to learn, even if it's not 100% right because is part of the process. 

byeeee it was a pleasure to be in a class with you

Program that I watched as a child

 Hello, today i will talk about a programe that i watched when i was a child 

My favorite program was a TV show called “Lazy town”, it’s about a girl who moved to a town called lazy town with her uncle. She animated her friends to go out for they houses because they are always playing video games, her uncle (who is the mayor) ask for help to Sportacus, who is a “superhero”  that urges children to eat fruits and vegetables, but this work is difficult because the villain try to keep the town in calm and lazy with his evil plans . 

This program have 4 seasons, and it was on the air for 10 years, since 2004 until 2014 (the first episode was launched the year that I was born). 

I watched enjoy this program because I like the songs, and it was a plot that indirectly urgen the children to do sports and eat healthy, it’s was a very good idea. 

I saw this program in the mornings when I was 5-6 before go to school, drinking milk in my bed trying to wake up jajaja

In the section of courses i do medium courses>General english 1>session 2. I think this explain very well the diference of present simple, present continuos and present perfect

In the section of grammar i do medium grammar>Medium grammar with 6 Minute Grammar>Present tenses. I think this explain very well the diference of present simple, present continuos and present perfect and how to use them in a real conversation 

In the section of pronunciation i do medium pronunciation>Tim's pronunciation workshop>Tim's Pronunciation Workshop: Summary (episode 75). In my opinion study pronunciation from a video is not for me, i dont understand if the class is not face to face. 

In the section of vocabulary i do medium voabulary>Learn English through the drama>Father and son episode 1. i think the drama was very interesting (like a movies) is a good form to learn new words in english.
