Post 5: A photograph I like

Hi everyone! This photograph was taken for David Higgins in the exact moment, David Higgins is a photographer of National Geographic who travel for Africa and Asia taken pictures about climate change. This picture show a monkey take a plastic bottle in their hands looking with attention this bottle. Was taken  in january and was publish on february of this year in the magazine of National Geographic. I dont like this photo for their beauty, but for the message of this picture, this is a report and a question at the same time: we want plastic or planet? This photo represent very good the condition of the planet in this moment, we are at a crucial juncture that will determine the success or failure of this planet and this way of life. Everyday we can observe destroy in the planet for the plastics and companies that contaminate the environment with the residue of theirs business, this photo is making me question about our way of life. The message of this picture is of review and hope about the future of this beaty planet. Best regards, Enrique.

Post 4: My favorite festivity

Hi everyone! My favorite holiday is the new year of the indigenous peoples of South America, celebrated the third or fourth week of June, this holiday is celebrated because on that date is the winter solstice in the soutern hemisphere, date in which the day begins to be more long. The celebration lasts a week, in which different rites are performed (depending on the indigenous people). In general, in the indigenous peoples of South America the new year is celebrated on this date because te time begins when the day begins to be longer, so the harvest season begins. Mainly the agricultural sense of this holiday, also applies to the spirit that begins to "bloom" in this era. For this date I go to the Mapuche community that is near to my house in Quilpué, where different ceremonies are held to attract good spirits and the night from Saturday to Sunday we stay up all night awake eating sopaipillas and celebrating the new cycle that begins. I like this festivity because since I was a kid I can go and talk with many people, besides I dont like that the day is so short in the fall, I really enjoy summer. This festivity generates much more sense than others, due to the comunity that is generated among different people. Many greetings, ENrique.

Post 3: My favorite piece of technology

Hi everyone! I really dont like technology, because I prefer talk face to face with the people. In spite of this,  the technological object that I use more time is my cellphone, specially to make works to  university. I use my cellphone when I arrive to my house, because in the day I am with my friends in the university or doing research works, well I mostly use the cellphone to organize my university life, and communicate with my family of Quilpué. I use my cellphone two hours everyday -approximately- and I enjoy a lot chatting with my friends of Quilpué. I also use my cellphone to take pictures when I travel and send them to my friends and family. For the previous reasons I use the cellphone more time than other technological objects, but Ive also been a long time without using the cellphone and it doesnt complicate me, I can live without using my cellphone, in fact sometimes I like not to use my cellphone, especially when I am in nature. I imagine that a world without using the cellphone would allow us to relate better to our presents moments. Best regards, Enrique.

                                                 

Post 2: Why did you choose your career

This story could sound very crazy, but when I was a little boy I dreamed of going to out space, for that reason I wanted to be an astronaut. When I arrived to my house I played and imagined to be in international space station, this experience was very real to me because in my room I had planets of the system solar that each night turned on the planets and stars this experience was amazing to me. Then I was interested in the theater, and with my mom attempted to improvise scene of the routine, for thtat reason my other career option at the moment of applying to university was theater at University of Valparaíso, but I like Social Sciences very much and discover that Psychology and Theater are very bounded and finally I decided to study Psychology at Universiy of Chile in Santiago. My experience in this University has been very good I feel comfortable studying at this school. I plan to work with my theater colective in different schools of South America, teaching to children emotional intelligence. Best regards, Enrique

Post 1: My autobiography

Hellow everyone, my name is Enrique and I am 21 years old. My birthday is on 18th of december and I was born in Quilpué, a city near Viña del Mar.

Practice exercise

My name is Enrique and I study Psychology at the University of Chile. I like English because it is a universal language, you can communicate with a lot of countries in English. I listen to music in English every day, especially groups of 1980. I never watch movies in English because I don't understand the expressions of the language, this aspect of English is my biggest difficulty to understand the language. But I have a plan to overcome these problems with English, this plan consists in going to English class at the University every week and practice in my house every day. Regards, Enrique.
