Report!

I am writing in response to your idea about a new common room for students when we are not in class.

Personally speaking is a good idea because, sometimes we have much time between class and we don´t have a room comfortable for us. we need a place where we stay glad, and quiet.

Moreover, in the school there are two room completely empty, which we can use. One of them is in the basement, and the second one is in the second floor.

In my opinion, I think the room in the second floor is more comfortable, because there are more windows, space,and in the winter is more warm, also has everything for equip and obtain a good space for study and entertainment.For example we will have computers, magazine, Tv, stereo etc.

Thank you in advance for your time. I am looking forward to receiving your reply.

Yours Faithfully,

Crime and Environment Review!

Personally speaking, in nowadays computers and internet crimes are very common in our society. Everybody have a major access on the internet , because the technology on the computers is easy and cheap.

On the positive side, the technology is a good tool for buy, sell, and pay the bills, because we can save time and enjoy with our family and friends.Moreover, with internet and computers our life is much easy, also we can talk with people around the world in a real time, and do a lot of things like listening music, reading, and chatting.

Obviusly, there are bad things and on the negative side, we have for example a lot of crimes that people commint on the internet like , child pornography ,hacking, internet fraud, legal information etc. We can not do anything, because on the internet everything is more difficult, only we must offer education and tips for prevention any crime on the internet for the rest of people.

Formal Transactional Letter!

Dear Sir or Madam,

I`am writing to express my dissatisfaction with your article. I read it very carefully and I think you have many mistakes about the article, you have a wrong information.

First, your advertisement mentions The protesters, claim not only about the extinction of a rare species of nail also all the destruction of woodland.

In addition to this, an estimated the people that gathered were about 2.000 not 200 this is a big consequence for the rest of people. Moreover, you said that the protesters sat in the road and chanted slogans, but this was a silent demonstration.

Finally, you said that the ""troublemakers" were all unemployed youngsters, but you again commited other mistake, because they are local residents.

In conclusion, I hope this big mistake not happen in the future.

I would be pleased to receive a report. Thank you in advance for you assistance. Iam looking forward to receiving your reply.

Yours Faithfully,

Ayleen Hernández

Weather Experience!

Last summer with my sister and friends went to "La Serena" a beach of north of Chile. We visited very interesting places there like "La Herradura", "La Recova" etc. We spend about four days in that beach, and then we decided visit "Valle del Elqui" so we taked a bus from " La Serena" to "Valle del Elqui".

When we arrived "Valle del Elqui" the weather was so cold, but we didn´t much attention, we put up our tent and then we started drink and eat something. Next day the sun was very shine, so we went to visit the village.

After the lunch we went to the lake very near to our tent ,we were drinking and talking about differents experiences, when in that moment the sky was very dark and started the lightning with precipitation. We felt awful, because we didn´t have the appropriate clothes, and we had to came to house.

What can ordinary people do to help in the fight against crime?

Nowadays is very common to listen in the news, newspaper or anywhere How bad and dangerous the world is?. The crime in any place is a very big damage for all people, because the population live afraid and we can not take a quiet life.

If in the future we can change this, obvious will be difficult, but not impossible we need stop the violence, kidnapping and steal.There are a lot of things for do in order to help the population, our city we must do something for save our lifes of the violence.

We Like future teachers must teach and educate our children since they are in a highschool,beause the education is the main objective to fight crime. We have to concentrate in activities in class will be helpful for us.

We have to protect our family, friends and children the awful consequences of crime. We need the all population understand the crime to grow everyday, we are the good people not the bad,and for this reason we need defend with education, and talking our world the crime.

Informal Letter!

Part 2! Number 6.

Dear Mary;

I hope you are fine in Canada. I have a lot of thing to tell about 2 weeks ago I went with my family to Colbun Lake you remember that right? When we were children and our summer vacations were there, was a wonderful experience.

Nowadays, Colbun Lake isn`t like ten years ago how you must remind it. I felt very bad when we arrived and saw the lake was a horrible dirty, alone and without water.In that moment I started to remind all the best moments that we and all the family spent there.

I don`t know how people can do these kind of things to environment and cause a big damage to all the society, because all like human lost water, air and forest.


So with this situation, I felt that I must do anything and now I am in Greenpeace, I would like to help and give my opinion and experience about that.I am very glad to stay in this agrupation they are very friendly, intelligent and good friends with me.


Next time I swear to write for give you good news.

All the Best.

Speculating in the Past!

-In the first picture the man, with the ballon in his head could have been any illness and he can´t breathe the same air of the rest of people.

-In the second picture, the dancers must have been perfomed a play where they have to use a pistol for intimidate the audience.

-In the third picture, the two men may have been playing, and jumping in a place with a lot of air.

Miriam`s Disastrous Trip!

1.-What are some things that Miriam definitely should have done before she left on her trip?

-She could have pack the night before her trip, and put her alarm clock and have everything she needs.

2.-What are some other things that Miriam could have done to make her trip more enjoyable?

-She could have a plan, because she forgot her guidebook and when she read that Indonesia is a huge country and she was in a wrong part of it. Perhaps, she could just enjoyed her trip in Jakarta.


3.-What should she do now?

-She might just have stayed there and try to know interesting differnts places or take a bus to other city.

The Best Way to Travel in Santiago!

In my opinion the best way to travel in Santiago is a car, but if you don`t have one the subway is a good option. The subway here in Santiago is faster, clean and also very comfortable.Many people everyday use a subway like transportation, for many reasons and I think people feel much security with this means of transport.

Personally speaking I prefer many times a bus, because you can see all the city and the time you spend in a bus looking outside is more fast, but when you have a little time obviusly the subway is a better option.

In conclusion, here in Santiago is easy and fast moving with the subway, because this transport can arrive to many places, and the shedule is amazing because the subway station open about 6:00 A.M and close about 23:00 P.M. so our subway is a principal means of transportation in these days, because with the new proyect "Transantiago" if we don`t have a subway our life will be a completely disaster.

Travel Narrows the Mind!

In my opinion the writer has a point of view very common, because he doesn`t understand the time changes very quickly and we have to pay attention with the changes in our lifes.

Some people don`t want or refuse any changes in their lifes, I don`t why? , but in some cases these people used to be happy in this way.For example If you want to travel in a car, airplene, train or movil home and spend a couple of hours or days is your choice , in this case I think the experience is the most important thing.The life changes all the time and is very personal and respectable how each person want live their live.


-What effect does the tourism have on your own country?

-The tourism in my country Chile is very important all the time arrive to the airport many people of differents countries with the idea know this country, because they have a lot of expectations, and here they can visit beaches, thermal baths, desert and the mountain.

In very important for my country the tourism, because they spend a lot of money and time visit differents places and this permit growing in economy, and the rest of the world know Where is Chile?.

Positive and negative effects tourism!

Personally speaking, there are many positive effects tourism like economy, show interesting places in our country for example here in chile we have a lot of beautiful places beach like "Viña del Mar", desert like "San Pedro de Atacama" and also the "Patagonia". All these places are worldwide famous, because people who must keep these places are very responsible and support these places in a perfect conditions.

In the other hand, many times happen tourist cause some problems when they arrive to chile looking for all these places, and I think many times for the simply reason they can cause any damage in our country, for example when they want take a picture in a place where isn`t permit take it. All have to more conscience with this in every city or country that we can to visit.

The Advantages and Disadvantages of Living in the City or Countyside!

When we talk about Advantages and Disadvantages of living in the City or Countryside, we have to keep in our minds Which are my feelings, goals and necessities in this moment for choose where I would like to live alone or with my family.

On the positive side, is completely obvious the City has everything you need like banks, hospitals, jobs, technology, library, restaurants etc. Here in the City there are a lot opportunities and we must take advantage, but all these things also depends our age, social condition, marital status etc.

On the other hand, Countryside is more slow, but is an excellent place for grow up near to the nature, animals, and fresh air. In the countyside the life is more comfortable and the people like and enjoy their peace far away to the big city and the pollution.

In conclusion, the life in the city is dangerous, noisy, pollution, with a lot of people in the public transportation,but you will have everything you need easy and fast.

City or Country!

In My case I prefer city,because living in a big city you can access for example the best concerts, movies, partys etc. Living in a big city like Santiago in many occasions can be a problem for the traffic, crowed places, delincuency etc. but here everything is fast. In the country all is slow and many times the people lost good opportunities for live very far.

Letter of ComplainT!

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to express my dissapointing with some situations during my shopping trip.The service I have received from your travel agency was awful.

Firstly, We thought to spend all the afternoon at Boulogne ,but I don't know why? the shopping trip arrived too late. Hypermarket and Boulogne were completely crowded long and slow queves at checkouts, and we stayed at the supermarket only one hour. Restaurants were closed when we got there so the dream to pass an amazing afternoon I am getting very angry.

To make matters worse, the air conditioning inside the bus wasn't working, because that bus was very hot and we were a lot of tourists inside. In that moment we were completely thirsty and didn't have no cold drinks. In my mind the only thing was get home as soon as possible about at 10.00, but I arrived at 11.30 there I was furious and very sad for the situation.


As you can imagine, How I felt that day? I am very dissapointing with you. I Thought your company was the best,but I was wrong.For all the bad moments and the awful experience that you will give at least 50 percentage of that I paid.

ShopaholiC!

In these days the shopaholic is a very important problem for a kind of people, because many times they don`t have much control about themselves. For example shopaholic buy unnecessary things just for buy and feel good in that moment.

They spent a lot of money their credit cards and time for satisfy the addiction , but in many cases I think is a illness and must be supervise by a professional. They involve their family, friends etc in this problem and sometimes the rest of people want to help, but the shopaholic doesn´t want . So I have some advices for this problem:


-Buy always the necessary.-
-Pay cash.-
-When the stores have sale buy and save money.-

DescriptionS!

It was around 9:30 PM and I was in hypertension with sweat dripping on my face, preparing for my last exam which was to be held on the following day. It was Math and everything seemed very vague. The time was running out and I was expecting my parents to return home, so that they could clarify my doubts. I felt very exhausted and longed to have a nap. I was trying to work out the sums but couldn’t understand anything properly. I almost felt like crying.

I lost my hope and tears rolled down my cheeks.Though I sat turning the pages of my book, I couldn't concentrate on the subject because I felt sleepy and decided to sleep for sometime. But I woke up only at 6:00 AM. I was shocked and jumped out of my bed to read for my exam. I was really tensed and helpless. I just studied for one hour and my mom called me to get ready for school.

One of my classmates was sitting next to me. Her name was Romina. She gave a pleasing smile when she saw me. .Then she asked, “Can I help you and clarify your doubts, if you don’t mind?” I was shocked at the same time. I was longing for a person to clarify my doubts and I agreed without any fuss and she explained many concepts. When the exam was about to start, she patted my shoulder and conveyed her “Best of luck” to me. Her words gave confidence. I felt quite happy and performed well. Romina`s guidance helped me to do many problems.

After I completed the exam, I was waiting for Romina. She came, and I thanked her for the timely help and encouragement. From that day we both became good friends. When the teacher announced that we both have got full marks in that exam, I couldn’t control the tears.

She was a loyal and trust-worthy friend. I never knew what a true friendship was, until I met Romina. She always taught me to look on the bright side of things. She encouraged me to be strong and brave no matter what happened. She had tremendous faith in God. Her talents, love of life, caring personality, and beauty, both inside and outside, truly inspired me.

The Best PartY!

Last year foy New year´s Eve I went with my sister and a lot of friends a big party called " Go 09" was amazing the best party I have gone.

We arrived about 02:00 A.M the place was completly crowed, we started to dance inmediately, the music was fantastic and we just want dance, and spend a great time. That night we met a lot interesting people.I don´t remenber exactly the moment when suddenly ,I recognize an old friend in middle of the dance floor, I thought I can´t believe that so I went where she was and the surprise for each other was the best gift.

She is an old friend since we were children and we lost the contact about eleven years is completly incredible everything happenned that night.


That day we spent a lot of time talking about our lives in these years, and inmediately we changed telefhones numbers an e-mails.

Film!

The last film that I saw was "ORPHANAGE". It`s a Thriller film is based when Laura a woman come back with her family to the orphanage, where she grew with the main idea to open a residence for handicapped children.





She has a child call "Simòn" he starts play a strange game and Laura begin woorry abouth that, because these games leave to be a fun for become a real threat Laura`s family. A lot of fact obligate to Laura look for in the past her house.





"The orfhanage" is about a horror daily step by step for become a insanity absolute , the horror is developed "The orfhanage" isn`t outer space and either a criminal mind. Here in this film the horror born, in a unexpected form in the family`s perfect heart and grow with the intention threat and destroy that family. In this film the director tend to be a balance the illness and handicapped.



"The orfhanage" is basically horror to the separation. Everyone in the film have one thing in common all of them have a trauma of the any separation in their past.

In my opinion this film is very interesting I recommend all my friends, because is a particular form to see and understand the horror movies.

Informal Reply!

Hi!



I´m so happy that next month you stay here in chile, thanks for accept my invitation to spend your time in my apartment.



When you arrived to the airport you have to look a blue bus the name is "CENTROPUERTO" it´s cost about 2.000 pesos is not too much expensive. After that the bus arrives to the subway station "LAS REJAS" and there you have to take a taki. The most important thing is the clothes
bring scarf, jacket etc , because in these days the weather is freezing!


Take Care and see you soon...

The computers has greatly improved our lives today.

In these days, computers are most useful tool. Actually computers are a amazing advantage for all people, because they help us to do more simply and easy our lifes.However, also there are many disadvantages.


On the positive side, you can communicate with your family or friends, if they are in other country or city is easy and cheap that talk on the phone, and also with webcam you can see other person in a real time. Another advantage is with internet and your computer the life is easy and fun, beacuse you don´t need spend a lot of thime for example in a bank you can pay the bills by internet and buy anything in other country with you credit card is fantastic. Really this way you have more time for others activities.


On the other hand, teenagers spend much time playing, chatting etc in front of the computer,they use a computer all day for differentes activities, but in ocations without control parental, particularly in the case of children.Finally for many people is a useful computer or laptop, beacuse simply their lifes.


In conclusion, computers have many advantages like technology and use internet,but if the rest of the people don´t use it in a good way for example in children can be a damage. We have to be responsible, computers help us a lot, but in a good form.

Dear Mark!

Dear Mark,

I was so happy when I received your letter. Your new life in the farms sounds
good and interesting.I would like to go there, but at the moment is impossible
for me, because I have to do a lot of things here between the university and other
activities I don`t have enough time to travel.

All week I have to go to the university, and I arrived too late at house, because
with my family moved to a big house out of the city it`s a wonderful place although
is very far to the centre. That`s is the problem the distance.


Really I would like to go to the farm and I spend a lot of time there with your family,
for the moment I can`t , but in my vacations I swear I will be there for pass a great time.


I`d better close now , it`s too late for me and tomorrow I have a difficult day.
So take care Ì`m looking forward to hearing from you.

All the best

My Favorite SonG!

Miles Away By "Madonna"

You always love me more
Miles Away

I heart it in your voive when you are
Miles Away

You are not afraid to tell me
Miles Away

I guess we are at our best when we are
Miles Away

I just woke up from a fuzzy a dream

You never would believe the things that I have seen

I looked in the mirror and I saw your face

You looked right through me

You were miles away

All my dreams they fade away

I’ll never be the same

If you could see me the way you see yourself

Pretended to be someone else

You always love me more
Miles away

I heart it in your voice when you are
Miles way

You are not afraid to tell me
Miles away

I guess we are at our best when we are
Miles away


In this moment this song is my favorite, because is when
any person suffer for love When the person who loves you
is gone. But I think the feelings are importants, because the
lyrics show the real feeling of love that is a memory in her
heart. When Madonna sings this song is really amazing,
because she put all her talent in a perfomance on the stage.

Well,I heard for first time this song I liked it immediately, and When I went
to Madonna`s concert was the best,because all the people sang and clap in time.
