Do you believe in ghosts?? (a short story)

When I was child, I used to go to algarrobo beach with my family, and we rented an old house in front of the beach, it was a really big house, with many rooms, a big yard, a lot of trees and a particular kitchen. The time for lunch had been came and my family and I were ready to eat the best food ever, when suddenly we heard a noise coming from the kitchen, it was so weird because everybody was in the living-room and the microwave turned on !!!. My mom went inside to check what was happend and the microwave was turned off... At night, everyone was doing their own housework and I was watching an old-fashion and boring movie drinking a cup of coffee. Everything was find and perfect but unexpectedly I heard the same noise that my mom heard before, so I went to the kitchen one more time and everything was very quiet, I left the kitchen and the microwave turned on over and over again. It was driving me crazy and I thought that it was a ghost definitely, but it wasn't, it just was the sw...

Vicky Cristina Barcelona's Review

Imagen
This exciting film is about two American girls, Vicky (Rebecca Hall) and Cristina (Scarlett Johansson), spend the summer at the Barcelona hideaway of Vicky's pals, Mark and Judy . No sooner do the girls spot Juan Antonio (Javier Bardem), a bedroom-eyed painter, than he's hitting on both of them. So far, so predictable. What sparks the movie is Penélope Cruz as Maria Elena, the painter's ex-wife, she once stabbed Juan Antonio during an argument.   Personally, this film was one of the best I've ever seen , because is a mixture of sensuality, romanticism and wild scenes. It has everything to be successful.

Hi Cristián: How have you been? Thanks for comming to visit me and accept my invitation to staying in my apartment. It's very easy to get to there, the instructions are the following.You have to catch a taxi (it is not the cheapest transportation but it is the safest for you), and tell to the driver that you're going to Plaza Italia (you will have to pay round 5 thousand pesos, the red bill ok?) and i'll be waiting for you at Vicuña Mackenna Avenue, call me when you getting there, please. Another important thing is the clothes taht you have to get. In santiago is winter, and it's the coldest in 3 years I think, that's the reason you have to pack warm clothes and warm shoes. I hope to see you soon because I have a surprise for you !!! I'm sure it's going to be fun. Lots of love, Myriam.

Nowadays, technology seems to be the most important source of comunication. As far as we know, 25 years ago, we couldn't conceive in our minds how useful technology would be. However there are also some drawbacks. On the positive side, they can send mails faster than before and if we commit a mistake, we can erase everything when we want with just pushing a button. Besides we can be in touch with people in other countries without beiing close to them. Another advantage is that we don't need any pen to writing mails and we can buy everything you could imagine through the web, isn't amazing??. On the negative side is that people don't produce their own knowledge, everything they do, investigate, and make is through internet, people don't go to libraries and bookshops than before, because all that we need is in the web. It is good but not completely, that's a very easy attitude to take the things. Moreover the children can find things not suitable for them, for exa...

Assigment 2: The answer for Mark (Informal letter)

Hi Mark!! I am really pleasant about your letter. I think your life in the farm is very very interesting and busy, you know, a lot of animals everywhere should be exhausting but dear, I must tell you some news about me. It’s been six months since I moved to my new apartment in New Zealand, (more specific in Auckland) and as you know for living I have to work. So, I'm working in an interesting job, I'm bartender in a nice club and the best of it is that I don't have to get up early, you know I absolutely hate mornings !!. At the beginning it was so difficult because the most of people speak Maori, and I didn't understand at all, but I'm very friendly and don't have any problem making friends so I made some good translators friends, and they helped me to understand the language (because maori is a shit). Mark I don't have much time now, but please! send me your address because I'll going to visit you and your parents as soon as posible. I'll have vacat...
