Hello teacher and classmates .

Well , today in this last post I'm going to talk about the last months  this year. ( Time is passing too fast) . 
I want to say that I'm happy because the year is running out .The class are over and the sumer come in . 
The last time have been very quickly , with many things  in studies. 

About English , this matter , i like , because I want to learn to talk in english , and can communicate with anybody  fluently. But some really bad, is that  to my is very  difficult wake un in the morning , specially when i go to bed late in the night... and like this matter is at 8:30 am i had to run .. I'm sorry about that , because  rarely I come there early ...

The english blog is a good idea to learn , and i think that is  entertaining , because  we can talk about interesting things , and look for solutions to formulate phrases , sentences , paragraph , etc.
and i thing that is entertaining to read  the other blogs , and comment.. well.

I think that I need to practice the language , in the conversations , and talk , and more vocabulary .. I think that for this I need talk with people that know english , read more in english , see movies isn't subtitles , listen music and try to translate it . 

Outside the English class I use the English when i need read some article , is the most often . but always I listen English music , or some like this . Sometimes I try to  think in English ... but i don't have too much vocabulary , well , but I practice like this with the words that I know .

Well , see you . And I hope that do you well in life .
Good Bye!

9. Bike Polo

Hello dear classmates and teacher, he he. Today in this free post I’m going to talk about a matter that I like. It’s about a sport- play, called Bike Polo.

Bike Polo is a sport, played among two groups. Each group is formed for tree persons in his bikes.

Each participant need, basically, a bike, and a “mallet” (the stick for kick the ball) . And for play need the ball too, of course.

The objective is to place the ball into the arc of the opposite team.

The foot never has to touch the ground, if the player touched the ground; he has to go to one side of the field and touch with the mallet the side, and then continue the play.

The match time is around then, twelve or fifteen minutes. It’s depended, generally is then, but for a tournament or something like this is fifteen.

It is needed very much equilibrium, for not to fall, and, especially   in the arc position, because every time it is still position. The mallet helped to the equilibrium it is need time of practice.

It’s like a football, but in bike. I think that is an entertaining  play , I like play it , but  I  started to play recently ,  since the past week , I’m a precipitant ,  but I hope to past time in this and , play better .  Because I’m motivated now xD haha.

Well , see you.*

8. Reuse , Reduce , Recycle

Hello in this post I  talk about the “ friendly life with the planet”………..

I think this is a very important topic today . 

Ok.

a)      People can find information about environmentally friendly practices mostly in some kind of environmental group like Greenpeace. Or in the web, look for yourself if you are interesting. You can find information in the web about new groups, for go and be a member of that or only learn.  I think that today there are many possibilities of acquiring environmental knowledge.

b)      In my life I did not incorporated many recycling in my habits, I think , I could be  very much more.  Well, but until now I try of not consume a lot of plastic thinks, and not consume a lot of junk food. Sometimes the organic litter (garbage) I put in my courtyard, in the land. Ah, and I join the low batteries and put in a special place for recycling.  

c)       I always use my bike for go to whatever place, I prefer, because in bike I don’t pollute the air. I feel free, and I exercise.

d)       M, really not , I have not taken part in some eco-organization, I don’t know why. But generally I read about this … well , and , in the beginning of the year I  was at some classes of  organic garden …

e)      …for reduce my carbon print.. I think that ride my bike instead of  ride “my” car reduce my carbon print. And planting threes , and flowers , and food !.

f)       Here in Chile  is missing more politics that  care the naturals recourses .. I think…

And in Santiago, too .  More knowledge for all citizens , and facilities for recycling  all together.  May be in schools.

 Here a song about this  J

7.Klezmer Music

Hi everybody  , today  in this free post I have to talk about a matter that I chose .

So , I thought , and I want to talk about Klezmer Music, because is an genre that  I’m interested about , and I really like it’s  melodies and rhythm .

What  is Klezmer Music? .Originally, the word “klezmer” , from the Yiddish language, meant “musician”. The Klezmer music  is the folk Yiddish music ,it’s traditional of Yiddish , it is full history and emotion . In the beginning, it was used, for religious events, weddings, funerals, and joyful celebrations.    

One characteristic is that the instruments have to  imitate the  voice , principally with the violin or the clarinet .It’s commonly said that  the music has “ to  make the clarinet cry” or violin. The interpretation should  be very expressive .

Klezmer music in  time has been  influenced by other  styles,incorporating various sounds of music from European and international traditions , like Roman (gypsy)music, Russian music.      

The common instruments of Kezmer music  are  violin , clarinet , bass , drums , accordion .  The old musicians learned by themselves   .

Today klezmer music is open to everyone , and has  mutated with other styles.

Well , check it  out  by yourself  . Here is a  music video of traditional Klezmer  Music ,  enjoy it

6. Summary

Hello, today I’m going to talk about a “new” that really called my attention

The notice that I chose is titled:

“Theatre in a giant Emmental powered by exercise bikes – why ever not?”

I’ts about a new play called “Cheesse” that is been played right now in Londres.

 It’s about the financial crisis seen from an absurd and sarcastic view.

This theatre company is called FanSHEn and whit this play they  want to generate conscience about the climate change , and also prove or demonstrate Alison Tickell’s declaration “sustainability has a direct impact on artwork so we don't keep the processes separate"

She also directed the play “Julie’s bicycle”.

Since 2012 FanShen Company discovered a new way to make the process of their plays. They propose themselfs to make a play in wich the used elements were carried only in public transport and bicycles.

This optimized their job and the resources.

A similar case happened with the play “Cheese”, but in the lighting, because the power budget of the play is 3kwh. They created a mechanism wich is connected to gym bicycles with the light utilized in the show. The play is powered for this. Who pedal these bikes are the public, and they “get money off their ticket to the show in return for their energy contribution”.

With this production, “doing sustainability” has a direct impact in their art work.

5. Sample post - DREAMS

Hello , in this post I will talk to you about an topic of my interest , the dreams.

I'm interest in this topic because sometimes I have a lot of dreams ... And recently I have had strange dreams.

I would like to know the meaning of the dreams, and the meaning of my dreams . I know that something have the same meaning for everybody. But others are particular meaning, it’s depending.

Sometimes I wake up with the same sensation that I was in my dream, that's crazy, it’s like the dream were true.  and sometimes I , in the dream want open my eyes and wake up , but I can’t .. And then I wake up little afraid.

 Several times the dream is so long like a film, with many details, things colors and places, that I cannot help thinking in this during the day.

Also , something weird  , is that  sometimes   , in the dream  I am aware that I’m dreaming  , and inside it  I try to change things , and create situations that I think.

There is a lot to be said for the dreams I think.

Well good bye. Have sweet dreams.

4. Sample Post - BLOOMERS..

One theme of my interest is about history of women’s pants. This event in the fashion history caused inconveniences for the thought of that time.  This was very advanced for that time .

The first attempt to change was in 1851 , with Amelia Bloomer , an important  feminist activist . She in addition to this, make the firs newspaper for women , and she took advantage to this for promote it.

The model of  bloomer was like an balloon , was like an skirt pants , very wider , and more comfortable  that the clothes of this time . In this time the Victorian`s dress was fashionable. 

When some women started to used , was  ridiculed, because , never  been seen before  . Generally the women that used was women that had an feminist thought.. .

So , when this happened this stopped using this.

In 1890 it come back , with the birth of the bicycle . And  now  it wasn't criticized like before . It was  good looking . The women  used this for made sports . The model of course that change , now was more  small , and had more  designs to choice.

well. that's a very general vision , and summary.

3. A country I would like to visit

Thinking at near future, I would like to travel from France. I’ve always wanted go there. I think because saw a film when I was child, and I loved it.  Calls my attention the French language, but it’s difficult to learn, (I know. It’s like the Spanish grammar…), I like the French music , and this “something”.

Well, I have a cousin that live there,  I would like to visit , she always said to me “ come from us to travel” haha , she lives at 45 minutes to the centre of Paris with her  husband and little son . 

I would like to visit the north of France, because they lived the Vikings, in Bretania . And some time ago, when my cousin visited us with her French family ( They are from Bretania) I met their dances!.

France is a country of Europe, it is near to Spain, Italy , Germany , Belgium . Between the Mediterranean Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean.

I do not exclude the possibility of study there .

See you*

Hi, today I am going to talk about my ideal job.

Well , If you ask me what is my ideal job and I could be  choose  anything  I want . So, I could say that I’m not sure now. Yes … I think in many good jobs that I would like . But   I don’t know. That’s bad.  Ok. But I will say some one.

1, Work in some films, make the art direction.

2, Work with Michel Gondry’s films, make his designs.

3, Work in Hawaii theatre , or some place like this. 

4, Work in a great circus company or dance company, make his light designs and/or his escenografia. And have the possibilities to learn some of circus.  And travel around the world, knowing different   countries.

Number four is the best I think … to achieve this goal I need finish my studies, and specialize in this area.  And, know this area already.

I like, because I’ve always liked dance, circus, and travel.

May be it’s a kind difficult. But is not impossible…. I think…

Well. Good Bye.

Hi everybody. I will start this new English blog talking about "experiences during the first term this year".

About University Studies, I passed all the exams and test . That’s good, I’m a little happy for this , because  it was a challenges for me. 

In "taller" the most important matter ,  I had design exercises , like make plans , make a scale models , draw sketches ,  about plays of different playwrights  , but we couldn't see everyone , because we had many "work stoppage" . And it's the same with the other matters. But was not so bad. 

Beginning the first  half of the year , I worked  during three month  like technical assistant of illumination, in a dance company , it was very good for me , because I  think that I learned very much in that time.

 I took violin class too, in my free time I trying study.  

..What more? In winter holyday I went to Nehuentúe (the ninth region of Araucanía) to visit my grandma, for four days, was great, a beautiful place. Close to the sea and the mountains. Many green. Very cold sometimes, but the firewood in kitchen was always on.  

That’s for today; I hope that everything goes well in the remaining months of the year.

See you *
