What I liked most about the English class was the fact that we learned to speak English as if we were in a real conversation, and the questions and topics we had to talk about were super interesting and entertaining. And about the semester, something that I liked was that it was quite calm, there was not much academic load and I learned a lot. There wasn't anything really boring but I found it difficult sometimes the classes of “Diseño y materialización” because it requires a lot of calculation and study. My best moment of the semester I think it is now, because we passed all the tests and all my friends have more time so we can get together to do things we like to do during the little time we have left in Fau. My worst mark was a 3 in Taller, which was the last mark I had, and the best mark was in “Problemas de la arquitectura clásica”, which was a 6,2. More than one person, it was a group of “Problemas de la arquitectura”. We had the same group of four people during the whole sem...

Level B1 activities

To start I found really easy the listening activity,  but I failed a few answers because I don’t hear the entire listening. For the notes I failed in some answers because I didn't know how to write the answers. Then for the readings I failed most of the answers in the activity where I had to read and after answering, and my problem was that I didn't read it twice.

Someone Interesting that I follow on Social Media

Jackson Lebsack is an influencer from Oregon, he do some videos on youtube and instagram. He is dedicated to filmmaking, and he started his career editing videos of ski and snowboarding. Right now he's doing a project with his friends where they travel thanks to some sponsors, and they try all the extreme sports they could.    Also himself is a really good skier, he won a big award for skiing, and he spent 1 year filming Jamie O'brien, a really famous surfer, and that's how I met him.   I have followed him since 2020 when I saw him in a Jamie O’brien video. At that time he was starting with his youtube channel. An interesting thing is that I met him in person, during a trip to Hawaii I was surfing in Pipeline and I recognized him from the videos, so we started talking and told him that my friends and I wanted to do the same as him, doing surfing videos of the friend group.  About Jackson I like that he’s living doing what he wants, also his content is reall...

Something I enjoy doing outdoors

Trot I really like doing some sport or activities outdoors, but recently the activity I like the most is trotting along the San Cristobal hill, using only my phone to hear some music.   I started trotting after the pandemic at 18 years old with my dad who trot during his whole life. I started trotting 5 km little by little, until now that mi record is 21 km in 2 hours. Usually I go trotting to the San Cristobal Hill but sometimes I go to the Bicentenario Park or around Vitacura. Also I really like to go trotting with my father when we travel to other places that we don't know because it helps to know the place. I really like it because after I get the rhythm I feel unstoppable and the environment is plenty of nature like in the case of the San Cristobal. Also after the trotting I feel more lightweight and more healthy.  The last time I trotted the San Cristobal was the last week in the morning. I trotted 11 km in 2 hours, it was a Chill Trot. The best is to go trotting du...

A Chilean Landmark

Rano Kau The volcano Rano Kau is situated at Easter Island, right at the tip of the island, it's not too far from the town but is really hard to climb so I recommend going in a car.   The last time I visited was in January during the summer holidays but during my whole life I have visited the volcano several times.  I went with my friend Teiki just after the gym. We run up to do some cardio because the climb is really hard. But most of the time I went with my family or friends who are going to see it for the first time. We stayed like an hour just talking about our lives because we hadn't met in a long time, and also we took some pictures because the day was too beautiful.  First of all I like it because I haven't seen it in a long time, and it was amazing. It makes me feel like the first time I see it. Also the day was really beautiful, and the sunset was amazing, and the company was also really good, the whole vibe was perfect. Something I really like about the Ran...

A little bit of Chile

  A place in Chile that i would like to visit again it's Pichidangui in the region of Coquimbo My family and I went to Pichidangui in february 2022, we stayed there per 1 week during the vacations, we were 4; my mom, my dad, my brother and I. Our main objective was to go diving in my older brother's diving center, and that was what we mainly do but also we spent a good time eating in a very good restobar of sushi, where I found my favorite roll made of octopus. We also escaped one day to Los Molles, which was 1 hour away, to do some surfing and we spent the whole day on the beach, the waves were firing, it was really big. One of my favorite experiences was to go diving to a shipwreck, the Indu 8, which was an old whaling ship situated at 33 meters deep. The visibility at that depth was incredible, we saw a lot of fishes and very big jellyfish, and we also entered the captain cabin. I really enjoyed this trip because usually we don't travel to a place we don't really kno...

A family member

Locky is my dog he is 9 years old and he is a dachshund or sausage dog, he is brown with a little of white in his chest. We adopted him from a Pet Expo, and he lives with us in our department.  The things he likes the most are to go outside, take a lot of sun, sleep in a human bed, get dirty, eat fruits, eat some socks, go travel and have his stomach scratched. He is really hyperactive, he likes to destroy things and also steal some clothes and food. He dont like to meet new people, especially with the mens he doesn't have a good relationship with. When he was younger, one time we traveled with him to Easter Island, since he was naughty, he liked to escape and run away and even though we punished him, he didn't pay attention until one day he ran out and a motorcycle ran over his paw and luckily the injury was not too serious, but after that he never escaped again. For me and my brother, Locky is like another brother, he grew up with us from a very young age and accompanies us i...

Language

As a child I went to a French school and I had Spanish and English classes. I learned english at school for 7 years.    I found it easy to learn English, the fact that the English language it's everywhere allows you to learn a little bit every time. Although it's not all easy, for me it is very difficult sometimes to remember words when I'm speaking with someone.        Out of class I usually practice English with youtube videos and some films depending if the dubbing to spanish is good or not. Also in one of my friend's houses their parents speak in English every time so I practice my ear everytime when I am with them.     In English classes I like listening activities or speaking activities because it's more useful and it requires more practice than writing in english.   I think English will be useful in the future and it's also really useful right now, it is the main language of the world, even all the un...

W hen I was at school we had to read a book named “the boy in the striped pyjamas”  written by John Boyne, it was his most famous novel, won two Irish Book Awards and was a finalist for the British Book Award, has been translated into fifty-seven languages ​​and has sold eleven million copies worldwide. I remember I had to read-it for the español class when I was 15 years old. It's usually hard for me to like a book and get caught reading it, but this is one of the books I really get caught by the story. I could say this book can change your mindset about the reality of the 2nd world war, and the racism that existed. The story starts with a little guy who discovers that his things are being packed because the family is going to mov e to a new house far away. When they arrived the kid noticed a really tall and really long fence that cut him off from the strange people in the distance. But the little kid decides to explore his new environment and he meets another boy whose life and c...

Top 5 Activities

 Skiing: The 13 september me and 5 more friends from the university decided to go skiing in El Colorado for the entire day. We started the day at cristobal house to organize the equipment, the car, and the food and drinks we needed for the whole day. We arrived at the top at 11 o'clock, and the weather was perfect, not too cloudy, and the sun was not too strong. Then we ski until 6pm. I really enjoy the day of skiing and the good company.      Play video games: During the past week I played a lot of video games, like league of legends, forza 4 and minecraft. With a group of friends from the school we decided to play some league of legends after months of not playing it, it was really funny because we were all really bad.  Go Dance: The past week my girlfriend and I went dancing to the discotheque 2 times, one at Santiago in the club XOXO, and the other at Algarrobo to Club R. We are a couple that really like dancing.  Go to the beach: For the p...

On my radar

VInce Staples: This snapshot talks about Vince Staples. Vince Staples is a 28-year-old actor and singer from Compton, California who starts his career as an artist doing hip hop and collaborating with some artists, and then he acted in several movies. Vince mainly speaks about the growing pains of Pen15, one to watch Reggie Helms Jr and espcaping from it along the Pacific Coast Highway. Then he also talks about his carreer during the Pandemic, How he decorate his house, where he lived and he describe a film he like. The part I found the most interesting is when he talks about his first home for himself, and he have been looking at books on architecture. And he found one that goes trough the different areas of the house: when they were built, who built them, how tracts used to be built, prototype homes, the idea of land. And he said that he was always been interested in architecture. I like this part because when I was younger I also like to see architectural books and dream about build...

Creamfields

 I'm going to talk about Creamfiels, it is a festival of electronic music realized around the world, it has many stages separated by the music genre, and there's like 50 Dj in total for 1 journey. The journey lasts in total more than 10 hours, and during the journey with the regular ticket you can access to al the stages and you have many foodtrucks to buy food and drinks but they are too expensive in my opinion.  Well i'm going to talk about the Creamfields of the last year; that creamfields had 2 days of festival, the 5 and 6 october, realized at Espacio Riesco, the two days of festival I went alone but in each day I meet someone. To avoid buying food and drinks inside the festival I had made some tricks to enter with some cereal bars and vodka. In the beginig of the day I went to the Alternative stage to hear some hardstyle and getting warm for the day, then I passed away to the main stage to hear some of the best Dj's of the world, my favourites one's during the...
