ENTRY NUMBER TEN!!

Years pass and the technology is advancing quickly, now social networks are part of us, and in this context is very important that education be updated too, which is why it seems very appropriate to use tools such as a blog in English class. 


Have a blog was a great experience, because it was useful to practice writing in english about random topics. I think now my ability to express ideas, use verbal times or tenses, are better than the beggining of semester, and my vocabulary and orthography increassed a lot. Hip hip hurray for that!! 

Maybe in the future this blog incluiding videos or selfie videos entrys, where the students talk about random topics, with the objective to practice oral expression and pronunciation, a great idea!!

The topics about we wrote this semester were varied, the ones I liked were talk about my pet, talk about a photography taken by me and talk about technology objects, I would have liked to write about countries or cities to travel.

The best way to learn a new languaje is to practice and practice and practice and practice and practice again, there is no other way, now to the winter holidays will travel to the united states, I hope that everything I learned this semester serves to me for communicate fluently with other people.

POST #eight

Now I am at my 7th semester, but cause of the "revolution" (it's a joke haha), but cause of political contingency and mobilization of university, this semester has been very uneven. Despite that, I have very interesting subjects, some are more theoretical, but others are more practical, one of them is: Script, and cause the fourth year in the career focuses on television, this workshop also has a television script approach, and that it's so interesting.

In this class, work in groups on writing a script for a one season with four chapters of a fiction tv serie. We learned about dramaturgic theory, how to develop a conflict, building tridimensional characters and the differences between, films style versus television style. I like this subject because I think is so important learned about tv rules, finally it is where most labor matters and is a communicational space as filmmakers tend to miss.

When writing for movies you must privileged aspects like atmosphera, rythm and not say everything literally. In tv writing is the opposite, the conflicts and dramatic twists must be understood quickly, because when you watch TV you can change the channel whenever you want.

WEBQUEST 1

Website!!

Today I will talk about a website I visit frequently which I really like.
Link: https://www.youtube.com

This page is related to my career, because studying cinema goes beyond making movies or tv programs, and i think my career is about being able to understand the audio visual language to build and practice it.

Youtube is a global-sharing website, anyone can upload videos to youtube, therefore it becomes a collaborative online library. The appearance of the page is simple and intuitive to use. At the top there is search engine, you can also access with your google account, then youtube recommends different videos according your tastes, customize playlists, follow channels, comment videos, etc.

I can say I visit this website daily, because I use youtube for differents needs, for example: to listen to music, to watch series or movies, to learn about random topics and, of course, to watch funny videos.

At last, I like this website because I think it's important, at this times, to have a virtual audiovisual library, where you can keep all the contents that are created, or most of them time. I think that youtube is quite extensive despite it's censorships policies.

Bonus!! a great video from youtube!!!

Couscous Salad ¡Pure Alchemy!

I really like food, I prefer the eating part more than to prepare it, because I'm a little bit of an impatient person. There is a dish that I really like, because it's tasty, nutritious, healthy and also very easy to prepare: The couscous salad The best thing about this recipe is that you can prepare it whatever way you like, choosing from the millions of vegetables that are combining them with incredible results. pure alchemy! Here I leave the recipe for the preparation of this salad that I like: Ingredients: - 1 cup couscous - 1 cup water - 1 avocado - 1 tomato - 1 carrot - 1 cup black beans - 1 tablespoon butter 1 .- prepare the couscous! It is very simple, and best of all, the couscous is very cundidor. We put 1 cup couscous in a bowl, add 1 cup of boiling water and let stand 2 to 3 minutes. We stir a little (we can see that the number and size has increased enough) and add a tablespoon of butter and salt to taste. 2 .- Cut the avocado, tomato and carrot in little cubes. 3 .- Mix in a bowl couscous, avocado, tomato, carrot and black beans. 4 .- Dressing is! here depends on the taste of each, I like to add sick lemon and olive oil. 5 .- Eat until you drop!

PHOTO!

I took this picture the last summer, and it shows a cow eating seaweed at the beach in a wonderful day.
It was taken last year in february at cole-cole beach, Chiloe, at the end of a trip that I made with some friends to the south of chile. 

In this trip we visited diferent places, we started in Santiago and then we went to the Vicente Perez Rosales National Park, we camped there for four nights, at the day we cooked, we swam in the lake, and walked across the diferents routes into the park. One week after starting from Santiago we went to Puerto Montt to meet with a friend and then with her we went to Alerce Andino National Park. Finally we went to Chiloe, I think it was the best part of the trip. Chiloe it's so beatiful, the food it's awesome, and the landscapes are overwhelming. Cole-Cole was the final destination of the trip, we were there for five days, surrounded by nature, next to the beach and forest.
I really like this photo, probably because I feel that conveys the tranquility of the place and also the magic that is only found in nature.
