"Fitness freak"

Hi:

I never have visited this website, I think it is a useful tool for learning (obviously), in particular I read the page tab : "The English we speak", an article shows a pdf archive, an audio, and I only read the dialogue, it called my attention because the photograph was a woman running and I usually run about six or eight kilometers at two times in a week but by streets of my district. So, this conversation is between two women, and one of them do not understood an expression: 'fitness freak', and she took it like an insult, then the other girl explained what this expression means obsessed by sport and fitness, because in English you can use the word 'freak' with a noun to say that someone is obsessed by something which you think is strange. I get it funny.


Well, in addition this website has a lot of videos, interesting and funny news, I think  it is ideal because, it is easier to learn reading funny and interesting  histories or dialogues, than studying a lot of grammar.

Bye bye

My career

Hi:

I m a Chemestry and Pharmacy student, at the beginning, I wanted to study medicine I always liked healthcare, however, a high score was required to study medicine, some people told me that  chemistry exam was easy, so  I studied and made arrangements for that specific exam, then I realized that Chemestry was not that easy, finally I decided to study Chemestry and Pharmacy, I have to say that I am not repentant  of the things I did, I come from a professional- technical school, although at the beginning it was hard,  I love my career now.
I would like to work in the researching area in a laboratory, or a place where I can teach people how to use rational pharmacy drugs , however it’s a little bit difficult because big pharmacies limit our work; drugstores have commercial interests and no healthy objectives. We have to practice in communitary drugstores , I mean talking to people and giving them advices about a rational use of drugs (the most interesting part).
Bye bye

The Royal Botanic Gardens: Kew


I think this place must be one  of the most beautiful place in the world, its located in London’s   south west .

The Royal Botanic Gardens was founded in 1759, It was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2003. Alongside Kew Gardens in London, Kew has a  second country garden based in Wakehurst which is the Kews Millenium Seed Bank home.

How to go there; Kew Garden Station, is the closest London’s underground station, Zone 3, the ticket is 14.50 pounds, for adults, and its free for children, there are so many things to do in Kew, for example, little headed trips, Art Photograph expositions, seminaries, talks, familiar activities, and seasonal parties, etc.

In Kew you can visit The temperate house, which is the world’s  largest surviving Victorian glasshouse,  and in the interior saves a big plant, La Palma del Vino de Chile, there also the Kew Palace, and the Royal Kitchens.

I would like to visit this beautiful  place, because it  has so many plants there are scientists for their conservation, landscapes are so beautiful too.
 
Bye bye

A cool concert


Hi guys:

 
I love music, I have gone to some concerts in my life; there is one I remember, The Evanescence concert, It was my birthday present, and it was the first concert I have ever gone, the location was at the Santiago’s National Stadium, unfortunately, tickets were sold only one type (¨Cancha¨), so I had to go very early in order to have a good location, we were  in the middle of the field , I enjoyed very much  the concert, it was wonderful, they played all their songs, until the last album, It was the first Evanescence gig in Santiago, I won’t forget that march 2007, I was seventeen years old, the best part of the concert was when they played “ My Immortal” in piano. The singer Amy Lee has a strong and beautiful voice, he sang “ Bring me to Life”, at this moment the energy in the concert was very high, enjoying the live music is very special; I was very happy, at the end of the concert my hair was a mess, and I got a sore throat, this band was my favorite for a long time, I had a big poster of them in my bedroom (so fanatic XD), finally I already know that they have a new album, but I haven’t listened any song  yet.
Bye bye

Bahía Inglesa


Hi

Although I don’t use to go to the beach, two years ago, I went to Valdivia beach, I don’t remember the beach´s specific name, the sea water was too cold. Last summer I went to Atacama Region, and I wento to “Bahia Inglesa” we went there because of its low waves, there are four beaches : Las piscinas, Las Machas, Blanca y el Chuncho ; this is a small and beautiful place, but there is a little problem, there are some windy days, one day, the wind was that strong that broke my umbrella,  we had to buy another one. The sea has a turquoise color, its ideal for swimming, I suggest to go to that beaches since 10 am because from 1 pm there are lots of jellyfishes, I prefer Las piscinas beach, in Bahia inglesa there are some funny things to do, like kayak, diving, snorkelling, bike rental, etc. One day I decide to do snorkelling, we used snorkell of course, it was funny but some dramatic too, I swallowed a lot of water, then I realized that the problem was my braces, breathing was very difficult, for the future I will  try again but without braces.
Bye bye
