Last post

I find it extremely difficult to learn English. Since the school my worst marks were the english class. So is a big challenge to learn English at the University. This year 2014 I have English III and English IV so it is greatly of work because I struggled to retake the English after 2 years.

The English of the university did not seem very good in general. Well, my english in school was much worse, it gave me hardly talked contents or English, but in any case they waited much English at the University. That definitely did not learn everything I had thought. Logically as a student is not the best, so there is a responsibility shared.

The Blogs are very positive, especially when there are free post. I find it a very  essential exercise to learn to write in English. More to learn to listen in English. I think the first thing is most important
I think I have to progress two important things in my profession: my reading comprehension improved a lot during the semester with the english course, but I still need to understand hard texts or more sociological. On the other hand improve my pronunciation. There are words that do not yet know well.

My worst experience

My worst experience in faculty  was to go to English classes, because ever has been a problem for me. I had to English one, two, and now three, and the first two classes was very boring because English one and two is the same that the school. The true is that English in the university has been a constant torture for me. But this year I could not escape me the torture of the English and here I am doing it English again. But I have admit that this year the experience was not so bad the course of English. However this really is not the end, because still have English four, and we have to learn English for my career. I am looking for alternatives different to the typical, like reading novels in English or watch an american movie without subtitles. Finally I would like to say that I think blogs are a fun way to learn English and I think this year has been very helpful to me better my writing.

The Cinema

In this case, i choose talked about my love for cinema. Because the cinema is very attractive for me. First I want said that the most important for me in the cinema is the photography, because through it the director manifest his genius. Obviously the soundtrack and the content also are important, in effect the complement of these three elements make a good film. Now see a movie in the cinema is one of the best things that can happen. However in Chile, the cinema is very expensive and the billboard ever is very bad. For this i usually see movies in my house. Just downloads movies of internet, but sometimes it’s difficult find movies with goods subtitles, but if a interesting movie is released I should go to the cinema, of course. I have many favorites films of many different genders, in general i love the movies of David Finsher, Terry Gilliam, Hayao Miyazaki or Stanley Kubrick. I don’t remember the exact date of the last time that I go to the cinema, but I remember that I went with my girlfriend to watch "The Grand Budapest Hotel" for the director Wes Anderson, a film about the adventures of Gustave H, a legendary concierge at the famous Hotel Busdapest between the world wars, and Zero, the lobby boy who was his most trusted collaborator.

The Music That I Like

Music is the best way to start the day and do end it. Music is very important to me, it’s a great company in every moment of my life. It can make me feel happy, sad, nostalgic, angry, any possible emotion according to the day and the mood. I like all kinds of music, but especially rock and alternative rock music. 

I love The Strokes, and Arctic Monkeys, Depeche Mode, Blur, The Doors, The Beatles, The Smiths, and I could go on and on. I also like latin rock music, like Charly García, Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, Los Rodriguez, and Chilean music, which I think it’s very good, and Chilean people should listen to it more often, instead of hearing the typical radio songs. I also enjoys the oldies, like Louis Armstrong or Elvis Presley. 

The way that I used to listen to music is by downloads on the internet. I don’t listen to radio, because I have mi mp3 with all the music that I like and I used on the bus, in my house, in the streets, anywhere. I would to play the guitar, I’m trying to learn since o most four years and I always abandon.

Maradona Alone Against The World

Today i am going to write about a picture of the best football player in history of this beautiful sport: Diego Armando Maradona

This photo was taken during a match between Argentina and Belgium during the soccer world cup 1982. The image shows Maradona dominating the ball faced against Belgian team. The image is very expressive of the ability of this legendary footballer and shows how Diego Maradona" is confronted by a posse of defenders Belgium during the soccer World Cup held in Spain. 

The photo was taken by steve powell, a journalist from the agency "all sports". I like this photograph because shows very good the respect felt by opposing players by the ability of Argentine football player, as in soccer is very difficult to see 6 players guarding one opponent at a time. On the other hand, shows how Maradona used his left foot to control the ball flawlessly.

Charles Bukowski

Today i'm going to write about one of my favorite writes, the american poet and novelist Charles Bukowski.
 
He was born in Germany, but lived most of his life in the City of Los Angeles, USA. He wrote from very young, however, did not make a living out of writing to his maturity, working for more than fifteen years in postal office. Their literature addresses issues associated to the regular life of U.S. poor class, marginality, sex, alcoholism and monotony of life of the working class. For this reason his writings were listed in the current of "dirty realism"

Bukowski published extensively in small literary magazines and with small presses beginning in the early 1940 and continuing on through the year 1990. Some of these works include his poems "written before jumping out", published by his friend and fellow poet Charles Potts.
