My favourite game.

Hi people, today I’m gonna talk about my favourite game.

Well, I think I don’t play many games because I prefer to do other things (like read), but there is one I play since I was a child and recently I download on my smartphone. It’s Sudoku (yeah it’s a little nerdy) and I like very much.

The objective of this game is to fill a 9x9 grid divided into 3x3 sub-grids with the numbers from 1 to 9 starting from some numbers already arranged in some of the cells. No number should be repeated in the same row, column or sub-grid.

There are several levels of difficulties; it could be easy, medium and expert, among others. The more numbers there are within the grid, the easier it will be to complete the Sudoku.

My favourite part of Sudoku is all about it, because you need to be really concentrated all the time to can do it, especially for the most difficult levels.

I think I like it because you don't need anyone but yourself to play it, unless you are not able to complete it and need help.

Before, I played from time to time, when I found it in some newspaper. But now that I have it on my cell phone I play a lot more.

People say that it help to excercise the brain, for mamory and all of that.

A TEACHER THAT INSPIRED ME

Hi people, today I’m gonna talk about a wonderful teacher that inspired me.

He is Richard, my Math teacher in high school. I met him when I started first grade. We both arrived at the school the same year, so we were both new.

When I met him, he was very young (well, he still is) and you can think that a young teacher should be relax and funny but he wasn’t. Quite the contrary, he was very serious and strict.

I admit that at the first he didn’t like me very much because his subject it was a little difficult to me, but over time it started to get better. And that was thanks to him, because he worried a lot about his student learning.

What inspired me about him was that when he explained the subject to you, when he solved some exercise, he wasn’t trying to make you learn things by heart; he was trying to make you understand things, understand where they came from. That was very good for me, because I realized that that way I learn better, understanding things.

And well, thanks to him I decided study engineering, thank to him I could enter the university I wanted and thanks to him I have passed all my subjects. And obviously thanks to me.

My best concert

Hi bloggers. How are you? I’m really fine, I hope you too.

Today I’m gonna talk about the best concert I have ever been to. It was in 2016 in Estadio Nacional. I saw the band Guns N’ Roses. GNR is an American hard rock band formed in Los Angeles, California in 1985. The most connoted members, at least for me, were Axl (vocalist), Slash (guitarist) and Duff (bassist), but over the years the band gradually dissolved and only Axl remained. The concert was very important to me because it was the moment when GNR returned to Chile with Axl, Slash and Duff together.

I was feeling so excited, sing the songs with the original members of the band was the best. I remember I went with my older sister who likes the band the same or more than me and we both screamed and even cried with emotion.

At some point I thought I could never see the Guns N’ Roses live with its original members, so having the opportunity to do so was a godsend.

The warm and the beach

I am come from a small place on the coast of the Valparaíso region, Las Cruces. I’ve always been near from the waves, the sand and the breeze. I really like to bath on the sea, and feel the sand under my feet. The only thing that I’d change about Las Cruces is the weather. In summer, the beach is very nice, the weather is warm and you probably can go outside with a shirt, but in the night you must keep warm because the temperatures go down. But there, normally, most of the year it’s cloudy and you will probably don’t want even to touch the water of the sea.

So, the place that I’d like to go it’s what I’d like Las Cruces to be. It's Hawaii, I don’t know too much about that place, but the only what I need to know is it's an island with big beaches, white sands and warm waters all year. And that is all what I want in my life.

If I go there, I’d visit many beaches and I’d bath in all of them. I don’t know if I’d like to live all my life there, but I’d like can to go as many times as I’d like.

Last blog

To be honest, I'm pretty impressed about my blog experience, I thought it would be very boring, but it turned out to be quite entertaining. So my experience was really good, I enjoyed each of the blogs because mainly what we did was to talk about our tastes. Although there were more difficult subjects than others because of the vocabulary that I had to use.

Blogs helped me improve my English because I put grammar tenses into practice, which was something that cost me the most, but still, I still have a lot to learn.

I think one of the advantages of blogs is that they make the class much more fun, which is a motivation to learn. But one of the disadvantages is that writing is more practiced than speech.

I think that to get more out of blogs, they could be combined with oral sessions, it could be that the topic of the blog, in addition to writing it, make a speech to classmates, which would be much more interactive and would put into practice writing, speaking and listening at the same time.

A place I would like to visit

Hawaii

A place I would like to visit is Hawaii because I come from the coast and I love the heat and the beach. From what I've seen in photos, commercials and movies, it seems to be a very beautiful place. I imagine lying on those white sands and bathing in those turquoise waters, forgetting everything.

I think that since I was very young I have in my mind to visit Hawaii and probably because in the movies it shows it as a tropical paradise.

Although at some point in my life I intend to travel alone, now I would like to travel with my boyfriend. He is also my friend and my partner, so a trip with him to my dream destination would be wonderful.

I would like to live in Hawaii and work as a forestry engineer, I would definitely stay for a long time in that place but not forever, because I would like to visit many other places and also go back to my roots at some point.

My favourite tree or plant

Palma Chilena or Jubaea chilensis

My favourite plant is the Palma Chilena, and I say "plant" and not "tree" because according to botanists Palma is not a tree but a giant gress. The reason for that is that Palma does not have a real trunk, that is you can't get wood from it.

Palma is my favourite plant because it seems beautiful to me, It reminds me a warm summer day on the beach, the sea, the sand and the sea breeze, that is, a moment of peace and tranquility for me.

Palma has a cylindrical trunk, it can grow up to 30 m in height and with diameters between 0.8 and 1.1 cm. It has large leaves grouped at the end of the trunk next to its fruits. Palma is an endemic species of the Mediterranean area in central Chile. It is distributed inside the sclerophyllous forest and coexists with species such as Quillay, Peumo, Espino and Boldo. At present the distribution of the species is located between the regions of Coquimbo and Maule.

Palma Chilena is in a state of vulnerable conservation according to the Libro Rojo de la flora terrestre de Chile.
