Post 2: The Best Concert Ever

I have to say that I´m not really a concert person but the times that I had been in one I really enjoyed them. One of my favorite concerts that I had been was the Santiago Rock City on September 30^th, 2017. This concert was at Estadio Monumental and I went there with my father. That day there were supposed to perform two big bands, Aerosmith and Def Leppard and we really wanted to see the first ones but Steven Tyler (the vocalist from Aerosmith) got sick and they canceled that presentation. Anyway, my father and I decided to go and see Def Leppard even when that was a very rainy day and that was the best decision we could have made. Before that time I didn’t really know the band but when I saw them on live I love their songs, they are amazing musicians. Also there was a guest band called Tyler Bryant & The Shakedown that we enjoyed a lot. It was an especially good day for me and I spent a good time with my father. I would like to go to a rock concert again because I love that type of music.

Here I left you a picture of the presentation of Def Leppard.  

Post 1: A country I would like to visit

Hello again!

Today I’m going to talk to you about traveling. I like to travel a lot but I have never been out of Chile so speaking about countries that I would to visit – even when I would travel anywhere – in this occasion I’m going to choose New Zealand. I really fell in love with this country since I saw that amazing landscapes in the film “The Lord of the Rings”.

Regarding the things that I know about New Zealand it is that is a small country formed by two islands, the North Island (Te Ika-a-Māui), and the South Island (Te Waipounamu) and It is similar in size to Great Britain or Japan. New Zealand has less population than Chile (only four million people) so that is another thing that I like about this place.

In New Zealand I would like go to Hobbiton, do hiking, learn about their culture (The Maories) and go to an All Blacks game (the national team of rugby) besides many other things. I would like to live in New Zealand for a period of time, actually I have planned go to live there and study English with my cousin and her boyfriend.  

See you later!

Welcome!

Hello again! 

As we are starting a new English class with a new teacher and new classmates I'm going to introduce myself again. My name is Stephanie and I'm studying anthropology with a major in archaeology, we are in the third year of the career. 

Regarding my knowledge in English I think that my weaknesses are some concepts that I don´t understand or I don't know sometimes how to express my ideas. On the other hand I think that my strengths are the reading and writing in English and that I learn fairly quick. I hope we can practice our oral expression skills and learn a lot of new words. 

SEMESTER 2 2018 LEVEL 4

The Laguna del Laja National Park

I this new post I want to talk you about one of my favorite places in Chile, the Laguna del Laja National Park.

This park is located in Antuco, a Chilean commune and town in Bío Bío Province, Bío Bío Region. In this park, it is the Laguna del Laja, the Antuco Volcano, Sierra Velluda, the tallest mountain in the region, a ski slope and a network of hiking trails. Since I was a small child, I go there with my family to visit my aunt who lived there caring for a refuge. I say lived because she has to left that place.

When we went there we did a lot of things like fish in the lake, barbecues, parties, play with the snow when we had and especially walk in the trails, one of my favorite things to do there. This park is really beautiful and there you can see spectacular mountain landscapes, animals like foxes (there was one that went to my aunt´s house looking for food) and it is very peaceful place. One of the things that I wish to do it would be come back there again.

Here I leave you some pictures that just shows you some places from the Laguna del Laja National Park.

Website

Hi everybody! Today I’m going to talk you about a really useful career-related website. In social anthropology, archeology and physical anthropology you need to read a lot of papers and books so, as students, we need a way to get all these papers quick and easy and the most important, free. In this way SciELO is really good because you could get a lot of papers from different Chilean archaeologist and anthropologist, and of people from other countries, all of this with no-charge. According to the website, “SciELO is an electronic virtual library covering a selected collection of Chilean scientific journals. The project of regional character, it is being developed in Chile by the National Commission of Scientific and Technological Research (CONICYT). This project envisages the development of a common methodology for the preparation, storage, dissemination and evaluation of scientific literature in electronic format”. Nowadays there is so many countries in the network, not just Chile; there also is Argentina, Brasil, Colombia, Cuba, Spain, Portugal and Venezuela.

Other than as stated above, I recommend this website because is very easy find the papers of the topics that you are looking for and because there is a tool that give you the bibliographic reference in APA format.

So, if you have time take a look at this website, I leave you the link http://www.scielo.cl/

Seashells

Today I want to show you a photograph that I really like. I wasn’t so sure if I have to choose a photo from another person or upload a photo that I took so I decided choose my photograph. Sometimes I like to take photographs with my mobile phone to different thing like animals, flowers, natural landscapes that call my attention or to my friends.

I took this photo when I went to La Serena this year in august. That weekend there were storm surges so the whole beach was covered by a lot of shells and when we went to the beach with my family we found this beautiful scene. I like this photo because I love the ocean and walk through the beach so when I saw all this seashells on the sand this reminds me the wonderful things that you can find in nature.

Do you take photos too?

See you later
