My future life.... by Javiera.

In 5 years late(ww), in the future. I think that the entire world was(wt) different, political, social, and economic changes(mw). And so, I believe that in 5 years I’ll like to be working like a geographer, in ministry’s exterior relation(ww). But I’ll like so much living in another country, with other work(ww), maybe in Europe, Asia, Oceania, or in any continent. I love will(wo) travel for(ww) the world, sound really funny, but also in 5 years I’m(wt) 26 years ago(ww), this is time to start to have(wt) a family. Get married with someone, I don’t think so, but it’s an ideal time for have(wf) children.An idea now, is buy(wt) a department(ww) with my boyfriend, but (mw)both didn’t had(wt) time to see (mw)department(ww) in the centre(ww) of Santiago. So only that I have are(wf) my parent’s house in Santiago, and a country house in Loncopangue (VIII region).This is my idea. That is all.

The magnificent Rio de Janeiro! by Maira.

Around the world (mw)have a lot of places than(ww) I would like (wf)knowing, but the first for me would be Rio de Janeiro!I would like visiting this place because I think (mw)is very interesting and entertaining. The(nn) people here are dancing every day the samba(wo) and they would teach me your(ww) traditional dance, and I would dance in the “Carnaval of Rio” and we would drink CaipiriƱas!Also, this city has beautiful beach(sp) and (mw)have warm water. In this place I would swim and sunbathing and I come(wt) back to my country with a perfect tan. One example is Copacabana beach, famous by (mw)4 km beach.In Rio I would visit the Cristo Redentor too, an international popular figure of Cristo located in the top of the Corcovado hill.In general, this place always takes my attention. Casually I signed up to participate in a contest for a trip for(ww) 5 friends and I (mw)to Rio de Janerio today. If I will be winner(wf) I would travel in December to this place, I hope this. It would be a great prize for my work during this year. Why(ww) people come with me to Rio? That’s real problem. I don’t know why(ww) I choose. May be(sp) I w(sp) be(ww) a sweepstakes whit(sp) my friends favourites(wo). It would be a(sp) unforgettable trip!

A funny film by Javiera.

A funny film, for me is the Ice Age 1,(p) I laughed a lot with this movie.
The first time that I saw it, maybe it was 3 or 4 years ago. Actually I don’t remember when I saw the movie. Also, (mw)always put(ww) the movie in (mw)cable television, and I see it.
The first time I saw it, I was in my house with my mother. Both saw this film, in Movie City channel;(p) I think that my brother was there too. It’s a funny movie, for enjoy(wt) with your family.
The story is about three animals, a sabertooth tiger, a sloth, and a mammoth. The name of the first is Diego, the next(ww) is Sid, and the mammoth is Manfred, but Sid called (mw)Manny. Many and Sid found a human baby, they called (mw)“Bodoque”, and they saw when the saber-toothed tiger attacks(wt),(p) the human tribe, and the mother of this baby ran away with him. And so, Many and Sid took the boy and star(wt) a history for(ww) found his father. After Many and Sid took the baby, Diego joined them in this trip, and so this is the start (ww)of this group like a family or “flock”(Manada in spanish).

Creativity, as a natural condition. By Sir Dreamer

Education has been the central stone in a pyramide called society. However, this stone has been eroded by many unnatural disasters. I mean, education has been affected by human concepts which are not oriented to promote creativity in the system.
As we all know, (mw)educational system is not generating opportunites to achieve our real interests, on the contrary, it has an objective, which is controlling(wt) and modelling(wt) our preferences, which are determine(wt) by natural conditions. That is the contradiction!! Can we ignore our abilities or skills in order to accept an external model which has nothing to do with our genetic skills? In my point of view(ww), we can not suffer the consequences of external charges, these affect our creativity and our free spirit.

Damn spring!!
Is allergy or flu? I don’t know really(wo), but I feel this from started by(wo)(ww) the damn spring!. Most people think than8ww) the spring is the best season of the year, but I disagree with theirs(ww), I hate the spring.What’s the reason? Ok, here is the argument:First:(p) the changeSp) of temperature. All days we don’t know how are the day: cold, cloudy or sunny. Also the meteorologists are very liars(sp), so they’re wrong with the forecasts and (mw)cause colds. I don’t know whether (mw)coat or not! Really bad =/Second: A lot of plants produce pollen that is spread (mw)everywhere. The air is infected by fluff and we breathe all day, causing sneeze after sneeze.Well…not all is bad. The birds sing and the horary change to the summer time is good. Otherwise good is the 16 October(wo) day. What’s happen(sp) that day? (mw)Is a really important date…..My birthday! =D

Stoneheage...a great mistery!!!
Stonehenge is one of the prehistoric monuments that guards(ww) (mw)major mystery.
This work is a monument of ancient times, is an enormous mass of rocks, visibly tidy that is located in Great Britain, specifically near Amesbury in Wiltshir. This wonder of the world, set of rocks put of form circular(wo) and composed of wood, which until today does not allow to have a clear certainty of which it was the objetive8sp) of this work.
It is(ww) believed that Stonehenge was a center of worship where their purpose(sp) was to realize(ww) religious activities, others believe that this one was a sector led to a funereal(ww) temple, in alone(ww) where certain persons, (of major importance) were dismissed here.
Another theory suggest(sp9 that the aimwas(sp) rather astronomic, that is to say with this(wo)(nn) they realized celebrations for the summer solstice, where they could know since they would be the crops of every year, this according to what I have seen in National Geographic Channel or Discovery Channel.
The certain only thing(wo)(nn)of all this is that Stonehenge exceeds many architectural and astronomic current works, due to the mysticism, greatness and knowledge of the realized(ww) ones of this monument made for(nn) thousands of years ago.

Billy buried Kes......Now, he has New hopes.


Billy buried Kes. Suddenly, he felt that his life had to change.
When he faced his mother, all the feelings that he had hidden, appeared. He told her that she was absent, that all her life had been a constant chaos. He determined to left home and to explore the world that has been his real home. His brother had died in his mind. In fact, Billy had assumed that terrible situation, but he knew that Kes was living in his thoughts as a great friend and as a motivational element to face difficulties.
Billy grew up. He was eighteen, working in an old shoe factory that was dissapearing too. He wanted to train knaves, he wanted to share with those birds, he wanted to be free. At the end of the day, he came back to his house. His girl was waiting for him, with a great dinner. They were proud of themselves, they were happy.
One Sunday morning in the park, Billy and his girl were walking around, when something appeared in front of Billy. In the top of a tree, a beautiful, young and perfect knave was waiting for its prey. Billy look at it, and his mind travelled to his childhood. He understood that it was a great episode in his life, but at the same time, it was sad, depressing and enough. That was .....but now his life had to be with his girl and his new objective, his new little purpose, who was coming too. Now, he has new hopes.
