My best holidays!

This thursday, I'm going to talk about my best holidays, that was this summer.


The last year in the english class I talk of my best holidays in the Conguillio park,  in 2012. So, this year I traveled to the same place, but finally all functioned very good. Rained a few and not as the 2012.

I went with my boyfriend and we camped 7 days. During the day It was very hot but in the night we had to put on all the clothes because it was very cold because this park it's locate in the mountain, in the 9º region.

The park is called Conguillio for the name of the lake of the park. The name sense "piñon wather" in maputhungün. and this lake it's surrounded for the Llaima volcano and the "Sierra nevada". This place I visited after a walk of 5 hours. When I arrived I was exhausted and happy because the view was beautiful. Also, I could to be near of a glacier and saw 3 condor.

General, we trekked all day and almost all days. Only one day we rested in the beach of lake.

I would like come back because I want to walk a track that I couldn't go.

This picture is of the park in the fall.

A country I'd like to visit

Hi people, today I'm going to talk about a country I would like visit. This country is Cuba.

I believe I know about Cuba since I went to the school, when I had to study about the Cold War, the cuban revolution and the consequences of the blockade of USA. About this situation I called my attention the politic system. I have listen that the cuban the the cuban state delivers the same portion of food for all the people, also have a system of health and education free and really good. This I like a lot because in Chile this social rights are very precarious.

Also, I like the cuban music for example "Buena vista social club". I like so much that I decided go to the dance afrocuban. This dance is difficult although don't apparent. I perspired much.

From some time ago I tried to play the trombone, but I couldn't to folow to study because I hadn't money for pay it and time for study. For this reason, when I graduate of the university I would llike raise the money and travel to Cuba to study music because there are good schools of music and I would like learn to play cuban music as Timba.

This picture is of the cuban capital, "La Habana". I like It have an appearence of ruins because is as  travel in the time.

Evaluation of my Blogging Experience

Hello!

Today, I will talk about my experience writting in the “Toti Quiroz” Blog.

Well, I want to said I never have had a blog. This is my first blog and I like write in it, although I had a lot of difficulties because I know few English. For this reason, I used a lot the dictionary.

 I like the experience because it was fun to remember about some things as the family reunion that appear in a photo. But the most fun was to share my interests, know the things that my classmates are interested for example, thair favourite artista and know things I don't know as come art magazines..

I find it a good way to practice and integrate the subjects I learned in English I and II on grammar. In this experience, I got more vocabulary to talk about various topics and I could practice writing, but do not achieve very well. Another positive aspect is that it is a good way to not feel sleepy, although we are tired and the class too late. So, I think that optimizes our performance.

In the future, I would like to write about the city, the cook, the music.

Really, I am grateful to have made this blog because I think it is a good tool to share interests.

  

my best holidays!!

Hi people!,

In this ocation I will talk about one of the best holidays I have had. In the summer of 2012, my boyfriend and me diceded to go to the some national park in the south of chili. We never visited some national park. Therefore, we searched in internet pictures of national parks. The photographs of the parks were nice but the pictures of the national park “Conguillio” were really beatiful. For this reason, we choosed this place in the region of the“Araucania”.

The “Conguillio” park is east of “Temuco”. It called by the lake “Conguillio”. The park has a forest of “Araucaria” and “Coigüe” and glaciers. Also, in the park is the “Llaima” volcano and many lakes of transparent water. The park only is open in summer because the winter snows.

In the park you can camp or rent shack.

Well, as I was saying, the landscape is beatiful. I don't know why, but since I was a child I like the “Araucaria” tree, maybe because I was surprised by his height. Therefore, when I visited the park I love it. I loved trekking through the forest of "Araucaria" and knowed the “Araucaria mother”. It was 100 years old.

If you want to visit this park I recommend you see the weather forecast or you go preparate for the rain because my visit was interrupted by a rainstorm. We didn't knowed about it and we weren't preparate for the south's rain.

I hope to go soon!

A country I'd like to visit in the future.

 Hello!,
  Although during this time I want to travel less, still I will like to go to China, because I like the milenary culture and the hilly landscape.
  
  Well, I have known a few about the chinese medicine because  friends that study chinese medicine have told me and I searched in the web about them. It`s amazing that the chinese have discovered a channel system where subtle energy flows. I try to feel the system but only I feel sleepy. I think that the chinese could feel the system only meditating.

 Also, I know about the kung fu and tai chi. I saw a documentary about a Chaolin monastery, place where they teach kung fu. It is really surprising the hardworking routine and the discipline they have. 

  There is an aspect I know that Isn't good. A teacher that visited China told me that in China he knew the political police, and is a police that represses and censorship. 

  If I visit China I would like to go to the chinese wall and to a village inhabited by artists and poets. Also I would like to eat fried insects.

  I would not like live, study or work in China because I think I would not get used because China is a very different country.

a career-related website

Hi people,
Now, I'm going to present a website I visit a lot. The website is called "lalulula.tv".

This website is a library that contains videos about contemporary artists and artistic movements in XX and XXI century. The website offers the possibility to enter to the videos of different categories as:
 - Cinema
 - Short
 - Documentary
 - Author
 - T.V.

In lalulula.tv you can find movies, series, shorts and documentary.

During this time, I watched 4 series or documental at night per week.
I Like this website because I like watch interesting videos. These videos are interesting for me because they show me the context of art now in others countries that for the moment I don't visit.

Also, I appreciate the website because I can know better the artists because in the videos they are interviewed.

In the website I discovered a t.v. series called "art safari".  The t.v. series is conduced by Ben Lewis. This t.v. series is my favorite. Ben Lewis is very entertaining and I learn with his reflection.

I recommend you!

My favourite artist

Hi!
In this sesion I'm going to talk about Giorgio Morandi, the painter I most admire.

Giorgio Morandi was an italian artist of the early XX century. About that time, in Europa appear the avant-gardes art as Futurism in Italy. The avant-gardes art searched to change the art and the world, combining art with cotidian life for have a good world. Although they didn't achieve to change the world, now the avant-gardes art are benchmark. Giorgio Morandi never belonged to some avant-garde art, however, also he is a important benchmark.

Giorgio Morandi was an academicist artist that he dedicated a lifetime to paint still life, specially bottle with the technique of stain. He painted in a workshop that It was special for him, because It had a light he liked.

I like his painting because It have vitality that moves. This sensation is intensifier to compare with the static objects.

I met this artist in the first year of career in the subject Color because I did a job related with Giorgio Morandi.
