hi, everybody. this is nathalie´s complain . what I am going to do is correct it. the first one is the original, and the second one is corrected by me.

Something that can change our society

The reason to send you this letter is to inform you that something that nowadays really worries me is the little concern to have at least one national day dedicate to do exercise in family. Because of the bad life that families are having. For example they are eating many junk foods and have a bad alimentation and because our country is letting behind do exercise to have healthy life.
I know last year it was possible but I think that this have to be more frequency. First this habit is going to help that parents share and spend more time with their children. It’s going to improve and help our health in a good way. Finally it could increase that those days community has a day totally different, out of worries, works, homework, etc.
I`m glad that you could read my letter and I hope that you can think about that. I think that habit could change our society.
Greeting Nathalie V.

Nathalie´s blog

Hi, everybody.


Today I am going to talk about Nathalie’s blogs. First of all she is a super great person that is so friendly, and gives us help when we need it. Well she has many others possitive qualities So, people who want to know her I invite to watch her blogg.
In her blog you will find a short introduction about her. and picture where she is in Lanalhue´s lake. I think she should add more pictures from that place!!.

Well, I think her comments are good but I would like to know more about her opinion, for example, in the post of the bad manners of Chileans people, she wrote a very short comment which was clear, but she should have explained more about that important theme.

In the case of the color I think these are so pouring. I would like to see something more colorful or strong colors. In that way she would show us that she is happy. The layout is good because she has her wall so decorated, with a brilliant name, a calendar, extra information, well I like it, and the presentation is ok. Nathalie likes to have all in order. That why she shows us that way her blogg.

So dear classmate take a look at nathalie´s blog.

my complain.

I am writing to complain about drivers who every morning in Alameda ´s street around 7:30 and 8:30 ignore the Highway Code. Making us to be late and the worst thing is that we run the risk of having any accident.

Despite, there are many policemen around the street, and also there are cameras recording what is happening there. Irresponsible drivers pay they fines, however they still breaking the law.

Another staff is that I feel offended by them, because they break the law, and also they insult people who drive correctly.

Although I have written many letters to carabineros de Chile, they replay me that drivers are punished with high fines nevertheless; it is not enough for them.

I therefore, request that the government takes the necessary and preventive measure against those irresponsible. I would suggest higher punishment, us paying more expensive fines, requesting driver’s licence without returning them, or send them to the jail for one or more months. These would help us to feel safe, to avoid any accident, to be on time to any appointment and also would teach drivers to respect the Highway Code.

I look forward to hearing from you as soon us possible. In the meantime. I hope you will take my suggest into consideration.

well, I am not kind of religious person, but I do respect Easter.
my family for example has catholic belief. They don´t eat meat, just fish with something simple like rice, mashed patatoes or anything.
I think, we should have in our mind all that Jesus Christ did for us always, not just remember him in a weekend, and then forget what he did.

what do you think?, am I right?

ABOUT BBC´S SITE

Well, what I watched on the BBC ´s site was the part of the grammar, vocabulary and most specifically in pronunciation. I heard all the pronunciation tips, I think that was the best thing I read and I heard because we have a subject called phonetics. So, those tips are too important to understand how to pronunce in the best way, and obviously the other person you are talking with get the idea. The other thing that I look around was the grammar challenge topics there are too many things to review, learn and practice.Sometimes I think I´ve learnt so much english, however, there are too many things to know about english. So, I know we never finish to learn. For that reason, there are poweful tools like the tips I heard and exersices I did. I hope with these kind of exercices improve my english at least in a 50%.

activity of friday, April 3 rd,

I am going to interview 1 classmates. Her name is Nathali.


The following questions are: about things that I hate of my culture.

1)Why Chilean people still arriving late to any meet or reunion, or wherever?
2)why we don´t change that?
3)why we still doing our homeworks, readings, essays, and staff like that, at the last moment?
4)how can we change that behave?
5)do you think in a foreign country we are going to behave that way?

I think, we chilean people are so irresponsible with schedule. I mean meetings, reunions, classes, etc. so, that what I hated of us.

are we going to be any time responsible with schedule?... think and answer.
