Blog 3: The Wind That Shakes The Barley Review

Resultado de imagen para The Wind That Shakes The Barley

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 different parts of the world by those who believe they have the power to do so.

The film is very explicit, the scenes are really representative and that's good because it shows reality, but it may not be suitable for people who are too sensitive.

Blog 10: English language challenges

Hello everyone! This is my last publication of the year, for my luck the English course is finished and I think I learned a lot. Actually I don't consider myself good for languages, I'm ashamed to speak, I think I don't do it well and I'm afraid they will make fun of me. However, I think I've come a long way in that. I liked the English 4 course because I met very funny people and that made the classes less terrible for me. The activities that the professor did were entertaining, we saw very good movies and the blog helped us to practice writing. The videos surprised me, I really thought they would be difficult to do, but it was not like that and that calms me a lot. The support to learn English is based and in that sense the teacher always showed willingness to help and was always very understanding of the difficulties I had when speaking. I liked a lot. I hope that what I learned in this course I will not forget hehehe and serve me in ...

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!!
