Hello!

BBC Learning and a great story

BBC Learning English is a great tool for learn, it´s so easy to use there you can choose the dificult that you need, and the activities are very funny. The last activity about 6 minutes vocabulary is great because one of the most difficult part for learn a lenguage is understand the listening audios. I found just one thing that i didn´t like from the first activity that i found it was so specific, because we had to remember who said something like a "memorize". The website that i know for learn English is Duolingo that have a different way for learn like short asking and answer.

The article from Theguardian.com that I liked was about an Italian mother who comeback to reunited with her daughter named Margot Bachmann who was taken from her by her husband family in the second world war. Margot grew up in Germany and when his father died the last year, she began to looking for her mother through the International Tracing Service, a German center for world war two documentation. I choosed this article because is a story that thrill me, i never hear something like that, a mother reunited with her daughter after 71 years surprised me. I think the institutions like the "International Tracing Service" from Germany are great because have many information about a lot of people who lost them family, and make possible this incredible things.

London

The activity is very interesting because to permit to travel for London. I can know place that hope visit some day. My dream is travel for Europe but is very expensive for me. I want save much money in little time because hope travel young before to have the children.

London is very nice but only know by photos, really is not same, I want see for my eyes admire the landscape, museum, bridge, castle, tower.

London is the city whit many history, is very important know and see where happened the history.

I hope that if you know London, please tell me your experience.

Maroon 5

Hi guys

My favourite band is Maroon 5, an American pop rock band. Originally formed in 1994 in Los Angeles, California as Kara's Flowers.  Its vocalist and guitarist is Adam Levine,  Jesse Carmichael plays the guitar and backing vocals,  Mickey Madden plays the bass guitar and Matt Flynn plays the drums. The band has cited Michael Jackson, the Police, the Bee Gees, between others as influence but the band's style changes from album to album. The theme in most of their songs is love, frequently lost love

Is my favourite band because  I like Adam sings and all in general,  I don`t  expert in musical. My song favourite is Animals and Payphone for nothing in special, I like its melody.  “Overexposed” is the fourth studio album in my opinion is the best together  whit ther fifth album named “V” its best  songs.  Its vocalist participate in The Voice USA as a jury.

I don`t go to the concert when Maroon 5 arrived  to Chile, I hope go to next concert in Chile.

Father´s Day

I think that writing about a free topic is very difficult, I did not know what to write but lack of creativity i will talk about my weekend. The Saturday morning trip to Viña del Mar, where my parents live, when I arrived my mom had a nice lunch, but the first thing I did upon arrival was playing with my dog, because i saw him long time ago and i missed him.

Along with my mother, after lunch, we went to the hairdresser and then we passed to buy a cake and snacks for Sunday, as it was Father's Day. On Saturday at 21.00 my dad came from north, as it works in Calama. 

Sunday i brought breakfast to my father for his day, a card and a gift. He liked the surprise especially since we bought him his favorite cake, pineapple cake. We went for lunch at Gatsby we  usually go every Sunday when he come, Gatsby is a free fork, we were from 15.00 to 17.30 eating, my family loves to eat.

And as at 19.00 we got home, I played a few with my dog ​​and I came back to Santiago, because although we are in strike I should be here, because I am delegate my course and I must and want to attend meetings of course, career and strike activities.

My pet.

I have a dog eight years ago, his name is Doggo. It is not a purebred dog but in my opinion is more intelligent than any other dog. Gift me a cousin who had found in the street a pregnant bitch, one of her cubs is my dog.
My dog ​​is good to run, he likes to play, his favorite food is roast and when I am ill penalty or not separated from me. My mother or father can not challenge me in front of him because he barks. He is very jealous because he does not like anyone just hugged him.
My dog ​​was run over and left with a bad leg and was attacked by a group of cats that left him with some scars on his body, the important thing is that is still with me.
To care for the bathroom but hates bathing, he runs when you hear the sound of water. In winter I wipe the hair but also hates the sound of hair dryers. It has a large patio where you can run, jump and play. I love to take gifts like blankets for your bed, a new bed, toys or clothing. But always the best gift is the food

Regards!
