Game over



Hello Everyone!!

Today, I am going to talk about my experience using blogs in the English class.

This year I have written nine blogs, when I began, I found it pretty difficult for me how I just think in number words, I have to write. However, while I pass the blogs I learn to write of better manner.

In general, my experience about blogs was interesting because I can learn to express my ideas, to comment other blogs and to read how other people drafting their blogs. Besides I understand how important is to have a big vocabulary, due to it gives a facility when you want to write.

I feel that I have gotten to develop my skill optimize manner and I can let to say that I have a new skill in my life.

Cultural Geography



Hello Everyone!!

Today, I am going to talk about my favorite subject in Geography.

This subject that I like, is Cultural Geography; because I have gotten to learn a lot about different items or topic related with society, community and individual.

The topics that I saw and learnt in class were:

- What is Cultural Geography
- Diffusion and structure of culture
- Huxley’s Model
- Heritage: Definition and application in the city
- Perception, Identity, Subjectivity, alterity, gentrification and Imaginaries applied in the society through Mental Maps and Participative Cartography
- Local Culture v/s Global Culture
- Landscapes as Urban as Rural, and territory
- Development Touristic and cultural Touristic

I have to apply those topics in an investigation in Valparaiso, that city was named Heritage of humanity in 2003, my investigation is especially based in two areas (Cerro Placeres y Larraín).

I investigate, how does the new buildings affect the local identity and community in cerro Larraín and Placeres?

Why do I like this Subject? I like Cultural Geography, because I enjoyed to learn new things, besides I can see a wonderful city like Valparaiso.
Cerro Larraín, Valparaíso

Photograph ..........



Hi everyone!! Today, I am going to talk “Photographs”

In general, my favorite photographs are about landscapes, animals, forest, among others, however I also like the past photograph about the families, houses or transport in the last century and also the events in the past that were important.

Now I comment about a photograph that when I found it, I didn´t like a lot. But it´s representative and also it shows horrors and hardships of a war.




This photograph was taken in black and white by Phan Thi Kim Phúc, on june 8th, 1972 (it´s near to turn forty five years).

In the photograph there are children, who were attacked with napalm bomb. They are also with soldiers in the image. That occurred in Vietnam´s war.

I don´t like it a lot, because it shows sadness, hardship, among other emotion relations with the war. In resume it´s important to remember that we must to coexist and to share in harmony.
