If I were immortal

I’m not pretty sure about what I would do if I were someone else, it is a little complicated for me to be on the shoes of another person, nonetheless if you are asking me for that I would answer it anyway.
If I were an immortal man, I main if I were a person who cannot die, if there was no way that I could die, I would do all kind of thing, due to the fact that I would never die. It has advantages and disadvantages: the main advantage of being immortal is that you might discover and work in a lot of things, you might be a very intelligent person, moreover it has a huge disadvantage: if you lived forever you would lose every relative and friend such as a character from a TV show, he had lived for four hundred years and when he was in that age he met a girl, he fell in love with her, but she was ill and she died little time later, that man tried to kill himself, but he couldn’t.
Coming back to our topic, I would research a lot about everything, if I were immortal. I feel strongly that knowledge is one of the most important things in the world, so if I had all the time to research, to read, to find out I would be a very intelligent person, I would not have any problem since I would use my head for everything. Maybe I would discover how to fly and use other special abilities, like seeing in darkness, breathing under water and going through wall. My knowledge would be too much, maybe I could develop psychic powers and move objects from a point to other, or read minds, it would be awesome.
I would have to move out a lot since the people would start suspect that there is something strange with me, it must be a secret, I could not tell anybody about my special condition or they could start being afraid of me. If I had to move out a lot of times I will know a lot of places, I would speak a lot of languages and know a lot of cultures round the whole world, I would have a lot of friends in every country and city, but they would die before of me, so I would go to a lot of funerals.
I would like helping other people, I would rescue children and women from fires and I would put them out, I wouldn’t get hurt or maybe I would, but I wouldn’t die. I would use my abilities for the people, beside I should be very conscious with them, I think that many governments would use me to fight in wars, as I can die they would think that I would be the perfect soldier. I could kill millions and billions of foe soldiers. That would be good for them, but not for me.
To sum up, I say that living forever is not a good alternative, for me it is not. I think I am not prepared to have that responsibility, but if you told me that I can live forever I would tell you “no”.

Nightmares at the night

There was a man called Richard and a woman called Rachel. They had two children, Sam, who was happy and very energetic, and Samantha, who liked to dance and sing every day. Both of them were fifteen years old, they were born together, they were twins.

Richard had to move to a new city because of his job, Samantha and Sam were very happy for the news. They hated his old house, so since too long they were looking forward that moment. When they arrived to his new home, they saw a huge, white house which had a wonderful garden in the front. They walked into the house, it was an awesome place, it had a big living room, which was decorated with a lot of pictures, there were some armchairs, a coffee table surrounded by a sofa. Everybody was happy.

One day, Sam was playing outside while Samantha was cooking dinner with his mom, and his father was in his job. Sam saw a strange man who was staring at him. Sam tried to walk away silently, he turned away and started walking, suddenly he felt a hand on his right shoulder, it was the strange man, he whispered him to be careful in the house, because at night it had live.

Sam couldn’t sleep, he still remembered the words the man said to him before. He got up and went down for a glass of water, the insomnia made him thirsty. He turned the tap on. While he was filling the glass, he felt a weird sound which came from the bathroom. Sam went in the bathroom, there was nothing. He was leaving the room when the mirror fell down. He was about to get a heart attack. Sam picked the mirror up and hung it on the wall. He went back to the kitchen and continued drinking some water. After drinking four glasses of water he went to the living room and sat on an armchair, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

When Sam opened his eyes he realized that he wasn’t in his house, he was sitting on the same armchair, but the living room was not the same. There were less pieces of furniture than before, there were strange pictures hanging on the red walls. He got up and approached to the walls, he wanted to know what that strange red paint which was on the walls was. Sam touched the wall with his finger, it was a thick substance. It was blood. The walls were bleeding.” It must be a nightmare”, he thought. “It is not a nightmare” said someone. He looked everywhere in the end he could see a body that was emerging from a wall, “it is real”. Sam started running, he couldn’t believe what was going on, he opened the front door, but there was nothing outside, it was completely black. Sam was upstairs, everything was full of blood and some creatures were emerging from every wall. He arrived at his room and searched under his bed, he took a knife which he had kept hidden. He knew what the problem was, he needed to destroy the mirror.

He went down and ran straight to the bathroom, the door was blocked by a weird red thing, he stuck the knife in that thing and it disappeared. Sam walked in the bathroom, took the mirror and threw it to the wall. Everything disappeared, he woke up on the armchair and saw nothing weird. He decided to go to bed, went up to his bedroom and he lay on his bed, but when he look up at the ceiling he saw a hand trying to emerge from it.

Be honest, it´s easier

We have some attitudes which are not good for us; the problem is when we think that those are good for us. It is a very common error. We usually think that the easier way is the correct, sometimes it is correct, but the most of the time s it is not.

As students we tend to get the highest grade, and we can do anything to get them, we even cheat in tests and ours homework. I’m pretty sure that we cheat just for our mark, we don’t mind if we have learnt or we haven’t, we do anything for a mark, we even lie.

When we cheat we are lying, we lie to others, tour teacher, to our families, to our friends and classmates, to ourselves, etc. How many people are counting in us? Have you ever thought about it? Have you ever talked with your parents about this? Let me guest…you have not (I have not). If we count our family, friend, teachers, employers, we can have around thirty people who are counting in us, would you like to disappoint them? Here it is an example: would you like your children cheat?

I have met a lot of people which are currently working, they are very hard-workers, but if you ask them any question about their works, they probably won’t answer you because they do not know the correct answer. It is a real story: when I worked as an air conditioner technician, I met a guy who was quite good in his job, everybody wanted to hire him, he also worked by his own. But he had a big problem: he only worked as a machine, he couldn’t explain why something works like that or why not, specially with electric works. One day I asked him why he didn’t know the cause of the refrigeration processes, he told me that he used to cheat while he was in the school, he only learnt to work as a machine, he always do the same processes with every refrigeration system.

As you can see, cheating is not the correct way, maybe it is he easier, but we are going to be teachers, would you like yours students cheat? We must not do the same that we wouldn’t like that they’d do us.

We have just talked about cheating, but be honest is one of the most important things in the life, lying is good for nobody. If we always tell the truth for everything, our life will be easier, we will spare a lot of problems, we will be able to sleep in peace at nights, our conscience will be in calm.

healthy life

If you ask me about a healthy life, I could tell you a lot of thing about it, but there is a problem: I don’t follow any of the things that I will write after these lines.

Firstly I would like to clarify that I am not a healthy person according some people, but according others I am. It is because I don’t live a healthy life, but I don’t have any kind of illness or something like that. . On the other hand I eat a lot, I don’t practice exercise and I don’t go to the dentist. I will try to explain how to have a healthy life, it doesn’t means that I will live a healthy life from now on, I will just explain some things that I hope they may help you to have a most healthy life.
As everybody knows, there are a lot of people who smoke, and as everybody also knows, the smoke from cigarettes is very bad for our lungs, teeth and especially for our lives. When you smoke a cigarette you are losing two minutes more of life, could you tell me how many minutes you have lost? But there is something worse than that, when a person has a smoke he or she is not the only one who is smoking, the other people round him or her is smoking too.
Now, let’s talk about food, let’s begin with the good food, or the healthy food. There are a lot food which are very good for our body, the bigger example of this are fruits. If we eat fruit everyday could get a healthy life and body, fruits have minerals and vitamins which are essential for us, fruits also moisturise our skin. On the other hand we have he not good food, these are all kind of fried meals, and some baked meals too: they make us to gain weight. Oils and fat are sometimes necessary, for they give us the heat we need, especially in winter.
There is a study which says that if we drink four litres of water every morning, we can avoid a lot of illness like flu, fevers, muscular dystrophy, atrophy, Alzheimer’s disease and cancer, we must just drink water and have a common day, just that. But it is just a hypothesis and it needs to continue being researched. But we must drink water anyway, since the human body needs two litres of water a day to be alright. We must also consider that we take some water from fruit, vegetables and meals in general.
I would also like to talk about something very controversial, I will ask you a question, but you must answer it before you continue reading: Is the alcohol good for health?...............the answer is..........yes. The alcohol is very good for our health, why? Because the most of alcoholic drinks are made with natural products, like barley and grapes. It doesn’t means that you must drink three litres of beer a day, or five of wine; it means that if you drink a cup of wine a day (just one) you could have a healthy body. If you drink without control you have an illness called alcoholism, so be careful with that.
Finally I would like to say that the most of the people don’t have a healthy life, I am one of those, but I have already written this: I don’t think I will change.

This is only the spring

I am not pretty sure about my feelings for the spring, I think it is just a season and that is all. My favorite season is the autumn; you can say that both are the same, but that is not true. When we are in spring, the day are longer that autumn, it is warmer and sometimes hotter and is a little uncomfortable for some people (I am just comparing spring and autumn, I am not telling what is better than the other). Some bad things are the allergies, my mom is allergic, so I have grown thinking that spring is n

ot the beautiful season which is loved for everyone but it a season to suffer with some problems in your nose.

Everybody is saying that spring the season of the love, and there are a lot of people that decide to committed suicide for this reason. Some people don’t like to see to others having a good relationship, they begin to feel lonely and sad; sometimes it may take very bad way and they only want to put an end to their lives. On the other hand, there are a lot of people who love spring, especially couples, they love to see that pretty birds that fly through the sky while a man and a woman are kissing each other and something like that.

Spring have its bright side, we could enjoy more the sunlight, now we can go out and walk for a long time without be worried for the light and the night dangers. We can also wear other kind of

clothes, like t-shirts, short-sleeves shirts and sometimes we can wear shorts. Shops start to sell ice-creams and you can go to have one with your friends. The most of the people is happy, because we can do things that we aren’t able to do in the winter.

I was about to forget something very important for children, there are some very strange insects that begin to appear in the spring, children love to play with them, but adults don’t (some adults do). We have to put up with them for four or more months, they are flying around you, some of them can sting you (as bees) or they just come in your room at night and begin to make a noise and you are not able to sleep, then you switch the lights on but you can see that annoying insect,

because it is too small and they stop of making a noise, after you go back to your bed and that insect begins again to making a noise (I haven’t been able to sleep well for this).

We can say that the spring has some bad and bright side, so it is not so terrible or good, it just is spring, I can find a word to describe this. Just enjoy the spring because the summer is coming and it is too hot.

Two hundred years...

Since too long time ago people are preparing to celebrate our national party, but this time is more special than others. Since two or three years ago TV channels, shops, banks and other institutions are offering a lot of contests according this special date. On September the 18^th, as usually, we are going to celebrate two hundred years of independence, or that is the most of the people think.

It is a very common mistake. A lot of people think we are going to celebrate two hundred years of independence, but that is a lie. If you are walking for a street and then you stop a person and you ask him “When the Chilean Independence was?” he is bound to answer you “It was on September 18^th, 1810”. I’ll repeat it, it is a mistake, the Chilean independence was not on 1810, it was on February 12^th, 1818. So, we aren’t going to celebrate two hundred years of independence, we are going to celebrate two hundred years of our first step to get the independence, that’s the truth (you can think we are going to celebrate on February 12^th, 2018. Whatever happens, I will celebrate).

People are looking forward to this date, they are very happy, although our country has past some very hard problems this year, as the earthquake on February 27^th or the miners’ accident. It’s been a really hard year, but the party spirit is over other things.

I would like to have a relaxing time this year, but I think I will have a tired one, because I will have to work at church, due to the fact that we are planning a “fonda” to get some money to fix our church’s rooms, therefore I’m going to work hard there on September 18^th. My grandfather is planning a barbecue, I’m not sure what day it is, but it will be a big party.

Taking everything into account, I think our country must celebrate our parties in a very huge way, because it is an important date for our country chiefly now, because we are having some bad times, we need to have a time to relax and be happy, although it is for a while.

My winter holidays

I needed it, I think there isn’t better cure as a good rest period, there isn’t anything better as sleep until 1 o’clock pm and then you open your eyes and you see your mother, she is saying something, after some seconds you can understand, she is saying “it is lunchtime , get up lazy boy”. After that you leave your bed, in that moment you haven’t got any strength, you try to find some clothes but you can’t, because your room is too untidy. You usually put on the first thing which you have found, although it is a pair of pants which you have worn for a lot of days. Then you go down by the stairs and the first thing you see is a beautiful table with your favourite dish on it, you have just to eat, it is usually the second meal in a day, but it is the first one.

Every day of my winter holidays was like the previous description. I had never thought the university life was too exhausting, practically the only thing that I did was sleep, I was very tired, I just wanted to sleep.

I think this winter holidays were very comforting, I thought a lot about my life and my friends, I also thought about my future and I took some important decisions, I had to go to some church meeting but they were very good, It didn´t make me bored and I still working at church too. I didn´t meet with all my friends, most of them were working (they still working) on that dates, but I met with some of them, we talked and laughed a lot, we had wonderful chats. I only went out one night, it wasn’t to a party, I went to visit a friend who is also studying English; she had called me by phone before to ask me for help, she had a grammar test next day. We were studying until too late, my mom had tried to call me, but my cell phone don´t receive signal at my friend’s home. When I got back home my mother scolded me, but she wasn’t too hard, next day we were talking each other as we hadn’t had any problem.

I think winter holidays are necessary for continue with our studies, because we need to get back home, we need to meet with our relatives and friends, we need to talk and share with them, we can just get together, watch television for a while, although it are just some minutes, but we must share with them, we can’t lose those bonds and we also missed each other. Finally would like to say that we needed to rest, it is very important...wait...I have already wrote that before, so that’s all.

FIFA World Cup

Each four years, whole the world is living a party for every corner. In each country, in each city people think in football. Each four years is celebrated the FIFA World Cup.

People think in football. In every office, hospital, school, university, etc. people get together to watch the football match, each child, teenager, man or woman paints his face and shout for each Chilean goal. During one hour and a half, there isn’t any movement in the streets.

In every shop, there are some items with the colors of each national football team from any country in the challenge; these items are only for few hours in shops, all the people want to buy something, for example, there are some blue, white and red hat, flags, scarves, gloves, t-shirts, and a replica of the cup. Food is also special in World Cup time. While Chilean national team is playing, people do parties and cook barbeques and foods like that, whit their friends. The music is also special, every child, in every school is dancing and singing the Shakira’s song called “Waka-waka”, the official song of the FIFA World Cup, they are also singing “waving flags”, but no only the children are singing these songs, young people and adults do this too.

The “the football fever” is around all the world, the people also buy a lot of LCDs, grillers, cell phones with TV, or portable TVs, football is in newspapers, news report, in the streets there are a lot of signs about football, many products, candies and sodas have a label about football too.But people are together to celebrate, all are happy and all want to his national football team wins the FIFA World Cup.

This was my childhood

I lived in Quilpoco until I was eight years old, I had got very good times. I remember, when I was five years old I had a very wonderful party, It was my first birthday party. My aunt didn’t arrive early to the party, she arrived too late and she had to eat alone, she went out late from her work. It was a familiar party, I didn’t invite to another boy.

When I was eight, my mom got married, then we had to move to Rauco, my grandparents were very angry, but it was just for few days. One day, While I was playing with my neighbour, I met Mario, he has been my best friend since that day. We played every evening, we cooked together and we had very good times. Now he is studying in Curico but I often meet him.

Victor, the Merchant

Was upon a time, an old man called Victor, he used to be a famous merchant, he bought all kind of items, but sometimes he stole them, most of them were made of gold or silver. Victor covered an underground cave with all his treasures. Few days later he left his home and he moved to the cave.

Few people knew where it was located, Victor was very miserly and he just shared his secret with the mercenaries who he had hired to bring him new treasures. The Victor’s cave was located in a volcano which was in a small lost island in the middle of the Pacific. The entrance was very small, but he had a secret door, when he needed to put inside bigger things, he opened this door. Inside the cave had three ways and three rooms, they were very hot. By the left way it was the Victor’s room, inside there were four oil lamps, they were hanging in the ceiling, they lighted every side of the room, he didn’t used a bed, he slept in a lot of feather pillows, the walls of the room were decorated by a lot of artworks, at the end of the room he had swords and shields from many different countries. By the right way there was an underground lake, its water was boiling, at the middle of the lake was a stone platform and on this there was a giant statue of Victor, a part of his treasure was here, a part was under the water, and another part was by the wall. And finally the center room had the most important thing here was the most part of his treasure. Victor loved his home, he liked a lot live there. But Victor wasn’t a stupid man, he had a guard, it was a powerful manticore, he loved it. The manticore was very smart, it also can say some words, the mission of this animal was protect the treasure from the thieves.

One day, a lot of thieves came into the cave, but all of them were killed by the manticore, Victor knew no one can defeat it. The animal got his food from the people who want to steal some treasure.

Victor needed to get a special item, for that he called to a famous mercenary called Johan, he had to get a special shield from a boat, it was very easy. Victor waited patiently until Johan arrived. He brought the shield, but he didn’t give it to Victor. He was very angry, for that he freed the manticore. Johan fought hardly against this monster, finally, he won and the manticore was killed.

-You’re next- Johan said.

-It is treason- Victor said while he was running away.

-You can’t hide!-Johan said.

Later, Johan caught Victor and he killed him. It was the end of the Victor story. By his own greed he was killed, his own mercenary did that, and actually all Victor’s treasures are hiding in that secret place, only God know when someone will find them.

It happens with me, when I go shopping...

I am going to talk about shopping. Honestly I don’t like go shopping very much. For example, if I need some new clothes, first, I go to look for some new t-shirt, pant or sweatshirt, then my mother must go to buy it. Sometimes, I have gone to buy my own clothes, I have been all the day trying to find something I like, when I have found a nice t-shirt, or something like that, I go and take it, I check it very well, the I say: “ It isn’t very nice”. I remember when I went shopping with my godmother, it was one month ago, she was with me all the day, at the end she wanted kill me.

If I think well, buy clothes is very tedious for me, but buy gifts, too. I hate buy gifts, a friend invited me to her wedding, but I don’t idea what Ican buy to give her, for christmas and birthdays it’s the same. Against this, I like very much go to buy to the supermarket, and if I am alone, it’s better. I think I can find th necessary items in few minutes, the problema is when I am walking by the aisle and I see something I like, I buy it. When I finish to buy, I realice that I have bought many things I don’t ned and I haven’t got enough money to buy the most necessary things. When I’ve got my own money, although it is only a few, I buy all the unneeded things, I can go walking by the street and If I see the most stupid thing of the world, I buy it. I can’t save my money, it is very difficult for me.

That’s all, I don’t know what more I can say about shopping, good bye, and have a nice week.
