English Intermediate

Hi, dear classmates Today is the last day that I´ll writing this blog, because English finish next week, it´s a little sad, but also great because it´s mean that we´re finish another year in university, well done for us! The English class was great to me, I feel that I learn so much because it make you practice constantly, and that’s what you need for learn a language. I think that I improved my writing, my compression and my vocabulary (it´s not perfect, but is acceptable). But most important I don’t have shame of doing it and try, even when I do wrong.

For example, in the line of methods, you have to complet...

With the strength of the sun Today I have another opportunity to speak about carnivals, because my plans for this year summer holidays it´s related with that. I´m have to plan travel with my boyfriend and another friends to the North of Chile, for the Andean carnival “with the strength of the sun”. We want to go because we participate in company who present their art in the carnivals of Santiago, who call “The swirl”. The carnival last 3 days, from 26th to 28th of January, and the idea is going to do the networks for we can participate next year. It´s difficult been part of this carnival, because it´s only for Andean companies, but all the years they invite one company of another style and we hope can be us. I have never been to this carnival, but according to what I know it´s amazing. Many Andean companies parade down the street of Arica, they coming to all the country and even from others countries. You can see companies conformed of hundreds of people with flashy cloths...
