My favorite piece of technology

I would have to say that it is the microwave. I can’t remember my life before I had one. I live with my parents, so the one I have they bought it.

The microwave is like magic, you put your food in for a few minutes and “bualá” your food is hot. It is very helpful because you can cook in the morning,  save it in the refrigerator and eat it at lunch or on the next day without wasting your time cooking again. There is nothing better when you arrive home late than picking a piece of pizza that was left and eating it with the cheese melted in a minute.  I use it almost every day at university because I bring food from my home. The problem is that there were three, but now two of them are broken, so you have to wait a large row to heat your lunch.

Some people criticize that the waves can harm you and live without microwaves, but I don´t care about it; everything is carcinogenic

A GREAT SHOW!

In 2006, I went with my family to a show called Saltimbanco of Cirque du Soleil. It was  in Huechuraba in a circus tent. It was awesome, starting by the music that was alive (which  I loved and had to buy the cd on my way out) to the customs and make-up. Everything was incredible, the movements and choreographies they did surprised me.  Also they shared and played with the public making us laugh.
They came again a few years ago with another show and I wanted to go, but it was too expensive, but if you have never gone to a Cirque du Soleil show you must go, it's worth every penny!
Also you could buy popcorn and take a picture with a "trapecist" after the show.

a little of me

I was born in the capital on a 26 of February, I'm piscis, (no that I care very much) and this year I celebrated my 21 years old making a party in my house with my friends, brothers and a few cousins. I really had a good time because I love dancing and I chose the music, also I made jelly shots of many flavors they are delicious and very easy to prepare.

Lately I'm hearing groups like Passion Pit and Joy division, but I also like Buena vista social club, Soda stereo, Calle 13, Francisca Valenzuela, etc.

Family for me is very important and I think I'm lucky to have a great one. I have a good relationship with my parents, I have a brother of 26 and a sister of 24, we were born very closed to each other so we spend time together in diferent activities. Another member of my family is my dog Luca, it is an eleven years old boxer and in the last year he grew older a lot,  a lot of grey hair appeared in his face and he gets tired very fast. He is lovely, but he slobbers a lot and always stains my pants.

   I studied at Andrée English School and although I hated English at school I had to learn.
I'm a very enthusiast person, so I'm always doing something and now I'm learning to play guitar, it was my frustrated dream because I thought it was imposible, but now I realised it isn't that hard.

Another hobby is watching movies, the last I liked very much was "Enter the void"and it is being played on Cine Arte Alameda, so I recommend it to you. It lasts 2 hours 40 minutes, but it's worth it.
Also I love going to the theather and visiting expositions, but that's something I don't do often.  I'm a fan of GAM because it is very near .
that's all folks!

Hello, my name is Valentina,      I'm studing architecture, I'm 21 and I'm taking this English class because I think it's very necessary for everybody to learn English very well. It opens doors making it easier to find a job and it's very useful for your daily life.
English and Spanish are the most spoken languages so I must learn them and speak them fluently in any occasion. In the future I would like to travel to many countries, so I want to learn other languages too, like Italian or Arabic.
      I hope I progress a lot at the end of the semester and that we have a nice atmosphere at the class overcoming the 7 of us our shyness.
