POST 2: My first Lollapalooza without ticket!!!

Hello! I'm going to talk about the first experience of concert with friends. In this case, it was with one particular friend. We were in the year 2013, like in first grade of highschool. Me and my friend Cesar were walking down the street when we saw a Poster on a bus stop, the poster says "Lollapalooza".

None of us had in that time enough money to pay the ticket, so we thought that maybe we could try to jump or do something to make it. So we organiced at what time que were going to meet in the subway station, so from there we were going to walk around the O'higgins park searching for a posibility to enter.

We saw that there was a posibility close to the Skatepark that is inside the O'higgins park, so I entered first and tried to hide behind a van, the guards were taking out the skaters. I was hidden but in some moment, the skaters saw me and started laughing, so the security guard turned around and put their eyes on me. He walked and said to me that I had to leave the place.


Then, when I was with Cesar again, we were a little sad, thinking that we couldn't make it, we were thinking about going home and that kind of stuff.
Cesar saw a men in the park who was making us signs, like trying to say "come here". We walked close to the bars, he was hidden in a sledge. He said that we could try to pass between the bars, that we were "flacos" (slim). So we enter and ask him if there were more security guards and he said that no, so we start walking a little nervous and then we realize that we were already inside of Lollapalooza!!

Then we had to wait until 12 pm, at that time the doors are opened to the general public. We start to search what bands we were going to watch.
We watch some really good bands like Queen Of The Stone Age and Pearl Jam, I don't remember all the bands.

Now I haven't seen Cesar in years, it's a little sad, but sometimes I call his mom to know how is he, so this memory is very important to me...

Post 1: A place to trip!


Hello! Today I'm going to talk a little about the country which I would like to go.
It's a little complicated to choose just one place, there are a lot of beautiful and interesting places to visit, but if I have to choose just one, I supose it would be Europe, more specifically Rome. 
I have friends that were there because they made an exchange program there or close, so I watched a lot of photos of their trips. I think that Rome has a lot of cultural activities to do, related to Architecture and other topics.
My cousin was there in Rome with his girlfriend , and they went to a big Museum, there is so big that you probably can't go down all the place in one day .

Other things that I would like to do are eating different foods, probably pizza, icecream and desserts. I would probably take a lot of photos, it would be cool to have an awesome camera and not taking just from my phone (my phone takes good shots, but a camera is like a different sensation). Another thing that I would like to do, is riding on my longboard around different places of the town.

Now I really want to participate in the exchange program and go to Rome or other parts of Europe to study. I would like first to meet this place to decide to live there, but I’m almost sure that I will like to live there at least for some time. It would be interesting to live alone and experiment how it feels.

I’m trying to work in summers to have more money to do this trip on vacations or with the exchange program. I hope that the next year, or in two years more I can make it.

Presentation

Hello , I'm Mathias Neira Saavedra, I'm 22 years old and I'm in my second year studying architecture. I like a lot to practice sports like martial arts, specifically kung fu, ride on my longboard,play tennis and dance. I think that my weaknesses can be that there are some specific words that I don't know, so sometimes I don't know how to say a phrase exactly how I want to. My strength is that I feel that I talk fluently , this is because I have english since first grade in school, so I did a lot of works and presentations. I like this languaje, other languajes that I like are French and Portugues, I like the accent of these languajes , I find them "romantic".
I hope that I can earn the certification of english level, so I will give my best to do it.
My expectations of this class are that I will learn to talk more fluently, listen and write better.

Hello, today is the last post, a little sad, today Im going to talk about this blogging  experience.
I really like this activity because it helps me a lot. I like that we have to talk about different topics, so we learn new words to express what we wanna say. I think it contributed to my writing in english, we never stop learning, so it always helps. 
Reading other blogs was interesting because I finded things in common with other classmates, and I read interesting stories. The comments were good because you can see If other person has visited that place, eat in that restaurant or something else, maybe you can ask If you want to know something about what you already read in the blog. 

I didn’t find negative aspects about the blog, it’s a platform where you can express yourself, your ideas, things that you like/ don’t like, finally, anything, and you can interact with other who has the same ideas, or maybe different, they can give you their opinion, and maybe you learn something new about that, I can’t find something negative in this activity. This activity makes me maybe wanna create a blog, or use Instagram maybe, wich is one of my most used aplications in my phone, as a blog.

Hello, today I want to talk about somewhere I like to eat out. To start I remember when I was younger, we usually went to eat chinese food when we wanted to celebrate something, like a birthday, a very good mark the tests of school, or anything else very important. So we usually went to a restaurant close to my house, his name is “I-Ching”. They sell chinese food, like chicken, meat, rice and other dishes, also sushi. Once I tasted sushi but I didn´t like the flavour at all. The location of this restaurant is in the commune of San Miguel ,where I live, it´s in the Street Gran Avenida Jose Miguel Carrera 5561.
 When I eat there I like to order Chicken or meat with sauteed vegetables and rice, and all this with a portion of wantan and spring roll with soya.

I think that this is one of my favourite foods, but I wouldn’t eat it everyday, all in excess is boring I think. 

I have the advantage that I have a Chinese food shop close to my house, not a restaurant, is a smaller place, cheaper, and when there is nothing else to eat in the house, we go there. I like this food because its delicious for me, it’s fast food in someway but with vegetables, I suposed is healthier.

In the questions I have good results, in some cases I fail because Little confusions, but I think that are the same confusions that I sometimes have in spanish, about some Little things that makes the difference in the final result. I think for me somethimes it was a Little hard the listening because I Heard the audio, but sometimes it was a 4 min audio so I have to repeat some parts to understand what I have to answer
