My favourite piece of technology

My favourite piece of technology is the laptop. It is a portable computer, smaller than the traditional machine, take up less space and is more comfortable. I have a laptop since two years ago  and I bought it in a Falabella store.

 I use it everyday , in my home, at the university, in the house of my classmates, when I have to do a task with them, in some metro stations and other places.
I can use it without electricity because it has a batery that lasts two hours charged. I need an internet connection, a password, and I can navegate all day!

I like it because is very usefull for me an the students, teachers, and many people. Furthermore, I can study, read the news, watch videos and photos, listen and download  a lot of different music styles. I can play games and communicate with my friends and family through social networks in the web such us a Messenger, facebook and others.

I can't imagine without a laptop because today is an important tool in this completely globalized world and allows me to be connected always everywhere. Always carry it in my bagpack!

My favourite movie

My favourite movie is "500 days of summer", I saw it the last week in my bedroom with my brother and we were drinking a juice and eating french fries and cookies! I like this film because it isn’t a common love story (with typical characters and borring topics). It is a story about love and relationships.

The protagonists are Zooey Deschanel  (a great actress) as Summer and Joseph Gordon as Tom. He is a young architest, an idealistic and romantic boy that know a pretty woman in his job, Summer. She search in Tom someone to has a great time, because they concord in many points, but Tom falls in love and he want to have a relationship with her. Summer played with the feelings of Tom, and he suffered a lot. After 500 days, Tom forget the experience with summer (she married with other boy) and he met a beautiful woman in a job interview. Her name was autumn…the love come back for Tom, the life is a cycle…. I like it so much, it  is my favourite movie!

My favourite travel

 My favourite trip was on my holidays of 2006. I went to Pelluhue (a destroyed zone by the earthquake and later by the tsunami of february). This town was ubicated in the coast of the seventh region (Maule), near to Constitución  city.     
                                                                                                                                                                    I traveled with my brother Sebastian and more friends. We wanted rent a house, but were very expensive for our  pockets. For this, Jorge and Gonzalo  (my friends) talked with an aunt, an she gave us accomodation in her home. She was very nice with us. I always remember she with affection . 

 In pelluhue all were magnificent. We went to the beach  everyday, and at the night we bought some drinks , played guitar and sang famous songs  in front of the sea, other persons approached us and we met a lot of people!!! Furthermore, we went to both discoteques of the town.    
                                                                                                                                                               One day, we went to the concert of “the correa deaths”, that presented their new álbum. One night, we went to a magic place, between Pelluhue and Curanipe, a beach where had  a trance music party. All people were very excited! I always remember this travel because I had fun a lot…was great for me.

Carl Ritter

I want write about Karl Ritter. He was born in Quedlinburg at 1779. He was a German geographer who discovered the ultraviolet rays in 1801 and is considered along with Humboldt as one of the main collabolators of the modern geography. He founded the Berlin Society for Geography  and was fundamental in the development of the emerging geography compared. In 1819 he became professor of history at Frankfurt, and in 1820 he received a teaching appointment in history at the University of Berlin. Ritter received his doctorate there in 1821. His essential work is “The earth sciences in relation to the nature and history”.It consists of nineteen volumes that performs a complete geographical description of Africa and Asia.I like him because he explained the existing relations between the physical and human life, focusing on the social and historical processes more than the physical world phenomena. He said that “The earth is a cosmic individual with a particular organization, an ens sui generis with a progressive development: the exploration of this individuality of the earth is the task of geography".He died in 1859 at Berlín, when he was eighty years old.


Earthquake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The previous day, I arrived to Santiago from La Serena, because I was on holidays with my parents, my brother and friends. We visited many interesting places of the fourth region (Coquimbo), such as Vicuña, Elqui’s valley and others. That night, I was with my boyfriend, my brother and a friend taking some drinks,  eating french fries and listening rock music. At 03:00 AM, my friend and my boyfriend went to their homes to sleep. At 03:34, I was on my bed and I felt a very BIG SUBTERRANEAN NOISE and the earth started to move very violent. I went to the garden of my house and saw my family and embrace them  while the floor was shaking. They were very scared. I tried to calm the situation, but I was very nervous and I began to scream!!!!!!!!!!After the earthquake, we went to the home of my aunt and my cousins, that live near to my home to see them and look the damages in my neighborhood. Fortunately, there weren't harm people, and all they were ok.
