Welcome

Hello, my name is Claudia Reyes Coll, I am from Santiago of Chile. I study Social Antrhopology, it is my third year in the career.

My weakness in English is principally for the pronunciation, it is really, really bad, for this it is embarassing for my speaking English. I think I had  bad basic knowledge in the school and this affected me.

However, my strengths are I can speak with foreigner and I think (and I hope) they understand me. And I think understand the words they say.

My expectations in English class is to progress in the pronunciation and learn more vocabulary, to have the best form of expressing. Also to be able to understand more the text, series, movies, etc.

Thanks for your visit 

Good Bye :)

Evaluation

My experience with the blog was very entertaining. Although sometimes I didn't actualized it every week, was fun getting better and writing more and more. It also gives the space to tell about other issues, perspectives of the study field and interest or personal matters.

It also gives space to meet more people who write using this way. There are a lot! I did not know much because I do not usually visit these kind of pages. But it is very interesting indeed!

I felt I progressed greatly, and had the space to overcome the shame that makes me writing in English, because still it's hard to me to express myself using it.

The activity I liked most was when we were on tour to London, look for prices, see exhibitions and organize activities. I think it was a very entertaining and dynamic activity.

Finally, I think the experience of the blog was very entertaining. It is a very dynamic way to learn and progress, and I wish that could be applied to more courses. Finally I want to say that I really enjoyed sharing through this medium with my teammates, basically because it gave me the space to share with colleagues from other careers and know a little more of their perspectives and ideas.

Harry Potter

Hello! Today I will tell you my experience with Harry Potter. It is one of my favorite sagas of literature.

I started watching the movies when I was little, probably first grade, and continued with devotion. I saw them all on the cinema, and was very sad (but also exciting) to see the last. I already had read the book, so I could know what would happen, but the fact that it was the last movie ever to come out really provide me with a before and after. I would not have to wait another year to the next, really it was over.

I remember when I started reading. I had like twelve years old, and loved how HP recreate a fantastical world, and at the same time also had so profound stories and meanings. Although I had had an approchement to HP world with the movies, when I started reading the books I loved them also. I fell in love with the characters and suffered with them their losses. Their bad experiences filled me with sadness.

My favorite book was the fifth, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix". I think it's the most distressing of the saga, and despite being the largest in number of pages, I finish it much faster than the others. Always keep me expectant, although the ending full me of sadness.

But undoubtedly the most moving part was when Snape killed and gave his memories to Harry. It was at that moment that Harry realized that he always was wanted and protected by him.

Fine Pets

Hello, Today I will talk about my beautiful pets. I have thre. First a turtle, his name is Aureliano and came the 2000 into my life. it's a land tortoise and although some people may think he's boring, , I that know him can say that's not true. He has personality and is very affectionate, in his own way of course. Also I have a dog and his name is José Arcadio. He is a beautiful and playful dog, which I have more than half of my life, 12 years old actually, and I can say that when he came to the world he could get fit in a hand. For me, it's the best dog in the world and the most affectionate. He had become fat and good for sleeping by these days. He sleeps with me and sometimes fills the bed but that's no matter to , I love it anyway. The last pet entered to my family is Ramón, a cat, and it is unpleasant most of the times, but very loveley when he wants to. The worst come in the mornings, when I should get up and he  get inside the bed with me and hugs me, so I can not go anywhere .

My beautiful pets are very deared and happy with me (hopefully).

"Very Interesting"

Hello, I will tell some of the magazine "Muy interesante". Although it is not a website, his articles are also publicated by this way. They are address many issues, which honor his name "very interesting".

Topics treat science, history, health, technology, among many more. Address topics of the universe as a whole, without leaving anthropological and archaeological studies aside of course. There are several articles of strange fossils of ancient animals, even the relatives to Lucy, the most famous australopithecus of our family tree. Through these meetings and studies, plus the speculation of “How have they lived?”, one can imagine and reach new knowledge and interesting deductions.

Anthropology, in its various fields, is a very interesting social science and useful to humanity, and through it we can learn more about our society, past societies and different cultures that grow around the world. But after all, It is a very academic science indeed, and what I like so much from this magazine, is that makes anthropology understandable to more people and uses this beloved social science to tell "very interesting" facts, on less dense way and more pleasant.

Love Calle 13

Calle 13 is a group of very entertaining music, perhaps one of my favorites. I like it because their songs are about different topics, from social and political issues, even crazy things like love.

I know that many people think after some time, they opted for developing mass media music. Nevertheless, they just really like me!

I can saw them last year, live and direct, on Frontera Fest. It was wonderful! I love René, the singer. I love his voice and he is very handsome and attractive too. Definetely a great man.

I also went, a few years ago, to his concert in Movistar Arena. I believe it was the second time they came to Chile, and it was amazing being so close to the stage, but there were so many people, and I get pushed a lot, being a bit uncomfortable to me.

I do not know which is the song I like most. I think change by times and depends on the context I live. Anyway, I remember that "Latin America" made me so much sense when I left "backpacking" to Peru-.Bolivia. It's a nice song.

But also remind me of my summer vacation. With my friend sang songs and was very entertaining.

I hope to hear them on live again, and anxious to listen new songs.

With my sister

This photograph is from August last year, when I was traveling with my sister to Buzios, Brazil. It was a great week of relax. We went to the beach in the morning, after breakfast, because the sun came out early and hide at 5 p.m. so we had to take advantage of the day. We had lunch on the beach and drank caipirinha, came back to take naps and then we came back out. Had a great time, take plenty of sunshine and we tan a lot ( especially me because i'm brunette), and also I felt asleep a couple of times on the beach.

Although it was winter, it was very hot and the sun burned a lot. In the night was very nice to go out with summer clothes and enjoy the pleasant temperature.

I enjoyed the trip with my sister, met very friendly people and beautiful places. I hope someday to repeat those beautiful and relaxing holidays.
