For me is very difficult write about my favourite animal, because I like many animals. If you ask me for my favourites animals, I can answer, but for only one... I believe that all animals have great qualities. One of my favorite animal is the duck. As a child I liked it, because it can walk on land, fly and swim. It's great! The ducks are wild animals, but can also be pets. Many families have ducks on the farm. Some are pets, others will be food. Another very good feature of the ducks is that they are really, really screaming. Warn when there are strangers. We can say that the ducks are like an alarm.

Another of my favourites animals is the dog. In my family everyone loves dogs. My grandparents, my uncles, my cousins, they all have dogs! They are good company, we can play with them and laugh a lot! I believe that dogs are fantastic. The dogs glad to all!

Also, I love snakes. I like its sound, its green color, its scales and above all, I love its prudence. They are very cute. There are snakes, small, medium and large! Some snakes are very quick. Unfortunately, in Chile there is little the information about this animals. The snakes are exotics animals and they are only in some zoos.

Finally, the animal that I really love the frog! I love frogs because I read many histories of frogs when I was a child!. I like them because they are small, because they live in water and because they do not harm anyone. Only eat flies (and I hate the flies). To be honest, I don't know how I can help the frogs.

I think that Santiago is a great place. For me, the best thing of Santiago is present in all our country: the Andes Mountains (Cordillera de los Andes). It's so important beacause is a benchmark in Chile. We know that it indicates the cardinal point East. Further, the Andres Mountains are a sky center. There are a lot of snow in winter, people around the world come to play sports here.

Then, in Santiago there are many places to visit. For example, San Francisco Crurch in te center of the city. It's one of the oldest churches in Santiago, so it's a museum with more history. There are antique furniture, antique clothing, paintings, colonial architecture and many other things.

Other place for visit in Santiago is the San Cristobal hill. It's a hill in the center of Santiago too (20 minuts of San Francisco Crurch). This is a very funny place because there are here railways, so we can see all the city from here! It's great! Also, there are many trees, parks, trails, playgrounds, even a zoo. It's fantastic!

Maybe, is you want know popular places, it is advisable to go to the Paseo Ahumada, Forest Park, Central Market (there are many restaurants with typical Chilean food, food with seafood, among many others.

Another option is to visit places close to Santiago, as Chimbarongo (where you can find wicker things such as furniture, toys and home decor) or Pomaire, (there sell things made from clay, made by local craftsmen)

Death Penalty

My dear friends,
this time you have to write about one of the controversial topics we were discussing in class: Death Penalty
You need to state your opinion about this topic and give arguments for your position. How do you feel about this punishment? What happens with the countries that have it?, etc. 200-250 words

To be honest, for me the death penalty is a very difficult topic. I think that the humans are equal. All the people are important, so, I can't say who can live or death.
The death penalty is a practice of some countries for the murderers, or for people really, but REALLY bad.
The prisions are expensives. The state spends a lot of money to keep the criminals alive. In our country, Chile, the government spends more money for prisions than the education.
I think that the death penalty is not fair, because nobody can decide about the life of another person.
To be more precise, like the prisions are a foolish spending, but we can't murder someone (independent of what has made such a person) so, for me the solution is the work force for all the prisoners, so they can finance the cost of having to live in prison without producing a cost.
Moreover, it often has been given death penalty to innocent people. Is it always fair? and if he was not guilty? I believe that when in doubt it is better not kill anyone. How I can decide about the life of another person?. There are many variables and me, personally, do not think there is really appropriate

A COUNTRY I WOULD LIKE TO VISIT

I'd like to go to France. At 12 years I want to go there. I love this country. I think I want to visit France because I love the french language. I learned french at school and I was fascinated. I love the pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, everything!
I like French culture too. Its literature and music are very romantic (for me this is good)and the history of that country is known around the world.
I guess that be in the capital, Paris, must be wonderful. It's a place full of cafes, theaters and mostly real people speaking French!
Another thing that I love is the french cuisine. I'm addicted to cheese, cakes and all the food delicious!
Before deciding to study veterinary medicine, I thought study agronomy for specialize in wine, and so to work in the vineyards of France. I don't know why I changed that option, but now I'm so happy with my future career.
One of my big dreams is go to France. I hope to go someday to France and take a photo of the Eiffel Tower and of the Triumphal Arch.
I would like go to the old castles, such as films.
Really, I think that France, after Chile, is the best country arround the world!

LAST TERM: GOOD AND BAD POINTS.
Write about your experiences during the second term of 2009.Describe:- the relevant things you learned/studied- the sports and free time activities you did- the challenges you had to face- Others (family, friends, etc..)- Write at least 200 words.

In the second term of 2009 my life was special. I started working in the Federation of Students of University of Chile (FECh) and I really enjoyed. In the faculty, I took an elective course of capoeira and it was very entertaining. I learned about the culture of Brazil, music and story dances. It was also very helpful,because it was a fun way to play sports.
My family life was good. I shared with my cousins, my uncles, grandparents and my immediate family: my sister and my parents. We have a good relationship.
One of the most special things was that in October reached a new member of our family. She is called Astrita. She is a Beagle puppy and is a very cute and playful. In my family we also have an old dog (beagle too), two cats and a turtle. We love animals.
In December, I went out with my friends on holiday. It was very entertaining. I like being with my friends because they are good people and we have fun together. It's great to play, sing karaoke and be together.
There was only a bad thing. A good friend moved far far away from here. I miss her.
I believe that 2009 was great. I met many interesting people who are now part of my life. I hope this year is very good too.
