Blog 3: The Wind That Shakes The Barley Review

Hi everyone! Today I'm going to talk about a very interesting movie that I saw on my September vacation. This is the film "The Wind That Shakes The Barley," a film directed by Ken Loach and is based on the Irish Civil War and the Irish War of Independence. What I liked the most about the film is that it deals with very interesting topics, such as the reasons for a war and the social and personal conflicts it generates. What I did not like about the movie is that it is very long and there were scenes a little boring. My favorite character is Sinead, because it represents the strength of women and the importance of women in every society, a voice without fear and a force without detention. My favorite scene is when they show the violence of the Irish police, because they show the excessive use of force and the abuses they committed. I like that scene because it is a way of denouncing bad practices, the same ones that are still being committed in differe...

Hi everyone! The truth is that I don't know what have been my best vacation, because I always do different things, I'm going to different places and all i like. On this occasion, however, I am going to tell you an unforgettable trip that i had with some friends in the year 2014. I was in my last year of high school and with a group of friends went to Las Cascadas, which is in Puerto Octay, in the Region of the Lakes. One of my friends invited us to his cabin and there we stayed a couple of days, we buy food, snacks and a lot of beer!!!

The landscape and the view were beautiful, I love the countryside and the green landscape. We also went to the beach and was funny because we were all tight in the van, it was a lot of fun!!  I think that ride was as a "spirit...

Blog 1: A country I would like to visit

New Zealand Hello everyone. I want to know New Zealand because it is a country very similar to Chile and to the city where I was born, Osorno. They are geographically and economically similar, because their main activities are agriculture and livestock. That's why I would like to live and work there, I think it would be as quiet as Osorno and also New Zealand has a good quality of life. In New Zealand they speak English and Maori, which is the language of the Maori people. I also like this country because they value their ancestral people a lot. The Maori language became an official language by the Maori Language Act of 1987. I like quiet life, contact with nature, I like trees and countryside. For the same reason I think New Zealand is the ideal country for me. P.S: In New Zealand there are earthquakes just like in Chile Greetings and thanks for reading my first post!!
