Fiestas Patrias


The(NN) Fiestas Patrias are a typical parties(SP) in where(WW), the(NN) people celebrate every year the glories of ours(SP) army (Sep. 19), and the first Government(WO) meeting (Sep. 18). But(NN) actually I think that ours(WW) celebrate the Chilean Week, with Fondas: here(MW) sell typical food, like an(NN) empanadas, choripanes, anticuchos: typical drink(SP) like chicha, terremoto, wine in all its expressions, “piscola”, etc. and also the typical typical dance: the “cumbia guachaca”, the reggeton(SP) jijijiiji, not the typical dance is(WW) “La Cueca”, not all the people know dancing this dance, but some even(NN) try to(WW).I remember that once(NN), a journalist asks(WT) to the people: what it(WW) (MW) celebrates in the Fiestas Patrias? And the most people(WWO)(MW) answer “The independent(WW) of Chile”, that it isn’t true.When I was a child I remember that my father made a barbecue, with meat, chicken, pork, etc. and salads: Chilean salad, potatoes, pebre and a lot of pepper (I don’t like it). My mother made an oven(WW) empanadas (with meat, onion, eggs and black olives, ñumi : P)With my brothers played at(WW) little balls, but I never learned to play at the(NN) Trompo, I wanted play at(NN) TEJO, but I never played. But always played with my brother and my cousins.In those days my(WW) and my family will(WW) go to the country, but this years(WF) I’ll stay in my house(P) because my boyfriend got sick. Cuac.I don’t have a favourite 18; all the(WW) years are different, but always good.
