Hello classmates I hope you are right. Today we have to talk about the chance of going on a strike after May 21. I will give my opnion of strikes and demostrations. I think strikes happend for some reason. In the present in Chile many things are happening and many strikes and demostration are happening as well (in different places of the country). And that tells us something, doesn't it?. On the other hand I think that this kind of manifestation helps us for realize what is happening, that something is wrong, and lots of people don't know about it. And also helps to make pressure in the enviorment.
I think, strikes have to have a clear purpose and a lot of participation, just with that, it will obtained benefits, otherwise it would not be useful. But this is very difficult. Many times strikes don't have an aim, and of course if you realize things in education, politic, economic and enviorment are not well right now, so in fact we could go on a strike for a very long time, but real changes are not going to come inmediately. So this is very tricky.
We have to be convinced, and being consequent with ourselves. Some people is agree with strikes and after, they don't participate. And why? The thing is... we need to do something to arrange the situation, but is a long strike the solution?

I was thinking about what I wanted to write. Today it's a free topic and I think that's more difficult to me, because all the topic that comes to my mind  are about what is happening today in Chile, so many bad things like Chiloé, education, goberment, the economic sistem that we have (which is so bad). All that  makes me feel so angry and sad and I don't really  want talk about these things.
But... suddenly it came to my mind something possitve...birthdays. Maybe because my father's birthday is tomorrow, and he likes it pretty much.
The birthday to me is also very important, I know many people that don't like birthdays. But I always ask them, why don't you like your birthday? if it is a special day, the day that you were born, don't you think this is special? the day that you arrived to the earth...that you came to the word to see and appreciete all its beauty . I know that in the world are so many bad things today, but we need to think about the things that we like and the things that we like to do, otherwise we will be depress with all the injustice that happens, and of course we need to do something about it if we are not agree, but we need the motivation and the inspiration. We need to know that also here in Chile and in other places of the world good things also happen, like birthdays, where people wish you a good day, give you hugs, presents and love.
"Happy birthday my dear friend, I wish you a really nice day, year and life"

About the presentation.

Today 5 of May, 2016 I did my presentation about feminism in our english class. I did it about this topic because the truth is that I don't really know much about it, and I think it's very important.
The concept of feminism means "equal rights for women than for men", so I think this is an issue that concerns to all of us.
We should talk more about it and "put the topic on the table" because even if we have improved a lot as society in equal rights for everyone, some people and some countries still think that this is not right and they think that men should have domination on women.

About the presentation I liked to prepare it, because as I said before, I'm very interested, but I felt a bit nervous, anyways I think this type of exercise helps a lot to improve our english and to feel more comfortable with ourselves.

And the last think that I would like to say... Thank you for listening my presentation!!

Have a nice day dear classmates!!

Hello again guys!!
Today I'm going to talk about food. Do you like to go out to eat food? or Do you prefer home made food?
I prefer  home made food.

But one of the places that I like to go when we eat out with my family or friends is the chinese food. We used to go to the oriental chinese food. The ubication of this restaurant is in the Reina commune. I like to eat spring rolls, wantanes and rice. I also used to eat meat that was very delecious, but I'm traying not to eat meat.Altough I think it's quite nice when you eat out, because I don't do it everyday and it happend in a special occasion, I prefer home made food, because always to me it's going to be better when you see the person who is cooking for you, like my mom that she does it with all the love that she has, or also when you cook by yourself or with friends, and then you  eat all togheter. I think that's very nice, because in the end it's very important how and the way how you feed yourself.

I remember the last christmas, my sister cooked us (she likes to cook to others, she really enjoys it). She asked us what we wanted to eat for that day. I asked for vegetarian sweet corn pie. She made such a good plates and the dissert was a type of flan that in Chile we called it "leche asada". We all enjoyed a lot.  It was more than delecious. And also it would not have been the same with the people that I ate that day. Like in every meal.

When people ask me which is my favorite technology it's difficult to me to answer that question, because the things that comes to my mind I don't really like them. Like phones, computers, internet, so on. And the reason why, it's that many times I feel that people (and me too) don't use it appropriately. But techonlogy is not just that. And if a I think in another kind of "technology" my favorite one would be the bike.
I got my first bike when I was 3 years old (approximately) I remember that my father taught me how to ride it. And the time that we took off the wheels. I felt so grow up and it was so nice to do this with my dad. Since then I have been used my bike, of course that with the time I have changed it. Now my bike is bigger than before.

I use my bike not that often as before, because of course when you are a child you play more. Now I use it when I go to the supermarcket, or when I go to my friend's houses (the ones who live near to me). I would love to use it more, but it's not possible, the university is to far and it's the whole way down, so it would take me hours to come back, but maybe one day I'll try.

On the other hand, I lilke my bike, because it does not contaminate the city ike cars, I also like because you do exercise at the same time, and the feeling when you ride the whole way down I just love it. It makes me feel good. That's the reason why without a bike my life would be more boring and children's lifes too. Everybody loves riding a bike when is a child. Don't we?

My name is Colomba and I'm 21 years old. I had to choose a picture and talk about it. I used facebook to choose it, and this one was the one that I like the most. In general My best and favorites pictures I have them in my computer at home. But, anyways this is a really nice picture for me and I'm going to explain you why, even if a think that you won't understand me completely, but anyways, I will try.
This picture was taking in 2014 I don't remember exactly in wich month, but I remember the day...sunday. We were celebrating "The Witsunday", that means "White Sunday". Well, I will explain you how I got there. The name of the place that I was living for a while it's called The Mount Camphill Community. This place received people with special needs and voluteers. I was one of the volunteer people. And he is Joshua Stocker, one of the students with special needs or learning difficulties. We live together in the same house. The Mount Camphill Community is a big and beautiful place in the country side, that I hope never to forget.
Joshua didn't get on well whit all the people in the house. We were a lot in my house, like 30 people more than less. But I remember that since the first time that we knew each other we  got on well inmediately, just because he was carry on like five films, and one of those films was Madagascar, and because of that we had our first "conversation". But that was a very long time.
This picture was taking by Zjold, another voluteer, he knew a lots about photography. In that moment Joshua was resting and I wanted to make the same position, I don't really know why. The thing is that this pciture I really like. It brings me good memories. Joshua was a very special person. With the time we became friends. He was a bit angry sometimes and not so friendly with others. But, I realized that I had to know him first.
He taught me lots of things about life, and also he made me laugh so many times. I'm very greatful of him and that's why I like this picture, because it reminds me good moments of my past.
