Favourite Picture





I have always believed that photographs should represent a moment, capture a scene and show the intensity of the second where it is taken. But now, I feel that this special significance is stained by the falsehood of people who only pretend to appear to raise their followers and "feel good." Basically the photograph, today, only shows the superficiality of the people who need to fill a void.


That is why the photo that I chose represents a historical and painful moment for Chile, because it occurs in the post earthquake tsunami of February 27, 2010.


  




The photograph shows a man holding a torn and muddy Chilean flag, standing in the midst of total destruction: fallen trees and roofs washed away by what was the tsunami in Pelluhue.
The image was captured by the photographer Roberto Candia and the man in the photo is Bruno Sandoval, a craftsman from Talca who arrived in Pelluhue and lost the cabin in which he was living due to the tsunami.



I like this picture because it shows the resilience of the Chilean people and their ability to rise up in the face of adversity.

My Blog Experience

Hello everyone, today I can say that is the beginning of the end. This is my last blog and I want to it be special. I would like do a one summary or synopsis, but I think it would be boring. Only I want to say that it was a beauty experience.   I had never written about me or things related with me. It was one method of discovering me, and sincerely I find different ways to think. I always believed that writing about oneself, was something of selfish people that only who just looked for themselves.

In general, or in the technical, I think that this exercise blogs helps me to raise my level of writing and fluency, which complicated me. Now I feel that I can express me very better, although still is hard to me have to speak and listen somethings in English. In the future I would like include more reflective things or deep thoughts about the contingency, critical things,...

Work's dreams

Hi, in this blog I will talk about my jobs dream in the childhood and about the career that I am studying. When I was a kid, I liked draw and play with Lego’s, so I liked build things, then I thought being an architect. But with the years that was changing. In the high school, I also thought about being teacher, because I explained things to my classmates and they liked it; but finally I didn’t like that. After, when I had to decide what to study, I didn´t know that I wanted to do and I didn´t have many options. Finally I chose public administration because it is the most acceptable according to my preferences. My experience studying has been good but exhaust. Many times I get bored xd. In the future I would like to work helping people from my community.

Hello everyone, today I going to written you about the food, specifically my favorite food. To start, I must say that this food is well-known for most people and it is not of easy preparation. Yes, is the lasagna, particularly with the Bolognese sauce. There is my favorite food. Why? Because its ingredients, separately, are delicious; and mixed be made up of a best things in the world. Generally, every foods that from of Italy – for example, pasta and all kinds of noodles- are delicious for me and the lasagna represents this. Unfortunately –for me- I don’t usually eat much this food (twice at month), because with my family, we like change and vary the foods that we eat. But, if depend of me, I would eat lasagna all days, all weeks and all months of the year. I would live only on lasagna. I remember the first time that I eat the lasagna, I was a child and I didn’t want taste it, because it didn’t look good. Finally, it became in my favorite food of life.
