What I plan for the summer

 

This summer I got a lot of plans that I want to realize. First of all when I finish this academic year, I’m going to work in a ‘’Homecenter’’ as a assistant to keep some money for Christmas, Januray and Febrary. I think I will work one month. Then, in Januray I pretend to go to camp with a friend, and also go to Valdivia with her.  I also plan go to Machupichu with my secondary’s friends

I walk that I would like to do again

Hi everyone!  Today I’m going to talk about a walk that I did someday and I would like to do once more.-

It was in Quebrada de Macul Park, located in commune peñalolen. It’s a national reserve that has a lot of species of flora and fauna and it’s very well protected by environmental agencies as CONAF. I did it when I was eighteen years old (3 years before). And went with my parents. My dad has been always good for walking and he invited us (mom, my little sister and I), to a day of camping there. To arrive there we had to go in car until the entry of the park, so you can let it in a safe place and then you have to say your data for emergency cases. Later, we packed our lease provisions and start the way… My father was all the time directing us –cause he is always the one that know this places-. I really enjoy that because it was a family travel and we had fun a lot and swim into the river, and smoke weed and we were really disconnected despite we were still in the city. It’s a lovely place but I remember there’s a place in the entry that if full of garbage (confort papers, volantin residues, etc,.) And this battered the landscape. But when you enter more, you find with a way that takes you river up, among all the fauna you can see there. I would like a lot to do this again because it was a good ocassion for being with my family and the nature.

My favorite places to have fun ♫

|

Today I’m going to write, about my favorites places to dance and have a good time. Because here in Santiago there are so many places to dance, but not all have the music or people that I like. The first place that I like most is Blondie; this is a  night club, which topic is alternative. There’re some nights that you can go to dance 80’s music, rock, pop, electro, or dark music. It’s a known place for its trayectory and for the artists that have been there. Other place that I like too is Bal le duc; this place has also the same thematic . And it has two dance floor, so you can choose what you like more. – I remember once I went there and there was just dark people dancing some stranger new music, but it was fun because nobody cares how you dress, or how you dance-. There’s other place (alternative too) called Purisima.. it is in Bellavista, and there you can dance a lot of rhythms. I think this are my three favorite places, where you can do anything you want – dance, or drink, or laugh- and no one is watching you. But if I can’t go out I think the best place for have a good time with friends is my house, because we can put every kind of music, we can eat and drink with less money and I can go to sleep when I want it.

MY FUTURE

When I think in my future I can't imagine me being older tan thirty years old. So I will talk about what Imagine in a Little time of life (before this thirty years). I think when I finish the university, I will made some Project about environment and I hope that can go out of Santiago. I would like to live in Valdivia, so I will try to search some work there. If in this time I have some lover I will go with her and all my family –mother, dad, sister, grandparents- to live that city.  I will have a confortable house, it doesn’t matter the size and buy a car for dad and put a restaurant for mom. Also I will have a puppy Beagle and some pretty cat.  Then I will keep some money to travel around the world: first i will travel for latin america, -I will start this summer in Perú-, later i will travel by europe and some asian countries, and Australia too. After travel a Little, I would like to study another degree course, something relationed with humanities, like filosophy, psychology or something like  pedagogy to work with childrens in social risk. But, in concrete ten years more,  I hope I can keep seeing to my friends and my grandparents staying alive and my sister be beautiful and happy with her life. However, when I think about the future I feel scared because I imagine that world won't change in a good way, it will change sadly for bad and it will has more polution, violence, poberty, and diseases. So I don't imagine letting childrens in this world.

 

My puppies

 

All my life I’ve been sorrounded by dogs and cats. My first doggy was a Cocker Spaniel, but I really don’t remember its name, just remember that it cared of me when i was a Child. Later, arrive Yeika, she was so lovely and big but she died so young that I couldn’t have to much experiences with her. When I was fifteen years old, my parents gave me a Little Beagle. Her name was Bernie and she was the most important pet that I’ve had. In her first year of life, she was so naughty that she broke like eight dusters, a doll of my sister, she made pee a lot of times over the bed or everywhere, etc. But then, when we started to know her we found in her a lovely animal. She was so much clever and funny that we –my sister and I- considered her like a sister and my parents also loved her like a daughter. At the same time with berny arrived to my house Terry, a nice maltese who was friend with Bernie. Unfortunately, two years ago Bernie take a cáncer, and after of fight with this disease one year. She died last year. Nowdays I have three pets: Terry, a new dog which name is Negra, and Pepa that is a lovely  cat.

Las Docas Beach

Today I’ll write about a lovely place that I visited when I was sixteen years old,- five year ago-. It beach is in 5th region, and its name is Las Docas that is in the locality Laguna Verde. I went  there with my parents, some uncles and a friend of my school. I remember that visit, because it was a place that was mixing the captivations of the field and the beach. At this time, It was a place isolated from the urbanization, so we didn’t have electricity, and we could only use the light of the candles to illuminate ourselves. We stay there four days, in which, we went out to fishing, walking, and the most I liked was the calmness of the sea, because I am afraid of waves, but there it might swim with a lot of safety. In general, we did a lot of activities together and that time was useful for us to spend a good moment in family.

My National Holiday

My National Holiday 2013 was amazing. First of all, I began it with the FondaFau. There, I sold choripanes, so I won some money for the rest of the week. I dance with my friends and drunk some Earthquakes too. Here in Santiago i did not went out too much because i did not have enough time and i don’t know where the Fondas are,  but last Thursday I travelled to Concepcion with my family. There, I went to a many Fondas. I ate too many choripanes, empanadas and I drunk a lot of terremotos, but i did not dance cueca because i don’t know how to dance it. The time with my family was nice because we spoke and laugh a lot. Once, we went with my sister to the beach, an we saw the ocean and the sunset toghether. I prefere to pass the holidays out of Santiago. I love to breath new air, to see new sceneries and to stay with my family resting in new places. We came back to Santiago on Monday in the afternoon. They were a beautiful and funny Holidays. I enjoy them a lot. Next year i want to repeat that experience. 

Studying Geography

When I thought about the career that it wanted to study, I focused in looking for careers that had relation with the earth. Someone career in which I could be employed at  field work and be in permanent contact with the nature. Then I found the geography and noticed that it was a career that beside studying the land, also this one studied  the human being and its relation with the space. Therefore, I decided that it was the career that best accommodated to my capacities and interests. Then, I entered to the university and felt often confused, undecided about what was my real vocation. And later I understood what is the captivation of the geography, and in spite of that it's a very wide career, -in which it is difficult to find a clear route-, it's possible to develop in diverse fields of study.  Now that I'm cursing second level I think I really want to study the environment and its relation with different communities. If someone ask to me what career must studying someone with longing for discovering, I would say geography, because it is a good way to understand the relation between humans and nature as a complete system.

My high school experience...

When I was in high school, I was 14 years old in the first level. Personally I couldn’t notice a lot of changes because I was all my student life in the same school, so I knew the teachers, classmates, and the rules of the institution. In the same line I was always a good student, I liked to study so I had not a favorite subject and I got good results in almost all of them. But this was until 3rd, when I started to have some changes in my personality and in the way of see the life. Then, I thought I really didn’t like the rules, way of teaching and the models of life that the school was giving to me. So in this stage I was confuse and uncomfortable, because what I was receiving wasn’t what I really needed, so consequently I started to have bad marks and do different things, so teachers and some of the academics disapprove them. For the same reason I didn’t go to my graduation, because I was angry with all this dogmatist way of teaching. Nevertheless, we always remind this stage of a pretty nostalgia: I can say it was the most stupid and lovely part of my life, where I found five good friends and who with them discovered a lot of great things that made me grow up. I could enter to the university because of the preparation for the PSU and on the other hand there one was inciting to the families to inform with his children, which led me to being able to possess the great support of my parents in the whole educational process. I learned to look life for a critical and social way, though always limited by the denial of the power of action that the pupils we had. But, nonetheless with all the lacks and educational mistakes, by means of what it was my process in the high school I learned wide values, fundamentally the solidarity, which was a part of the diverse situations that they taught us to confront.

Advantages and Disadvantages of being a woman...

I think that being a twenty years old woman in a society like that, has clear advantages and disandvantages.

First of all, in that century there is a more opened mind in terms of the women role.

Young women have many option y their lifes. There ir no women as wife and mother today.

Now, we can study, we can work, we can travel, we can take place in politics things. We can develop us in any area that we want. In the same way as men. Also add to it the vitality and curiosity with the one that tells herself to this age, that it allows you to investigate and to take part in different occasions: from being one evening studying, to play sports or to go out to dance. On the other hand, like women, a wide majority can be employed at diverse works with minor responsibility since they are sporadic works, which allow you to gain an amount of specific money. (But all that momentarily)

As for the disadvantages, the being young women in this company puts us in a vulnerable plane as for the social position opposite to the men. We meet weaker and there continues existing a high degree of machismo that certain times displaces us inevitably towards some specific tasks. (As cooking, to do bathroom, and not to construct or to know self-propelling mechanics) Other disadvantage is to depend on the hormonal period, in which we become very sentimental and of badly humor, condition that prevents us from relating us normally. Other one of the things that it is necessary bear in mind to this age, is the aptitude to be a mother, which puts us in a disadvantageous situation opposite to the men due to having to stop studies and works to focus in the maternity, to this to add him that they are mainly the women who must worry for the contraceptive methods to anticipate early pregnancies. That is to say, to have the complete responsibility of an act that is in mutual agreement.

Oral Presentation: Renewable energies used in Chile.

In mi presentation I'm going to talk about a very important topic for Geographers. It's the renewable energies used in Chile. Our country dependens, as the whole world, on several sources of energy: the coal, the gas, the electricity and specially the oil. The instability in the price and provision of the fuel because of the war in Iraq and the crisis of the Argentine gas they are samples of this relation. And this dependence accents when such sources of energy are limited, exhaustible, not renewable, which provokes a strong economic impact when there are shortage or limitations to his distribution.

77 % of the brute energy consumed in Chile in the year 2001 corresponds to not renewable resources, specifically coal, oil and natural gas. 33 remaining % falls down in the category of renewable energies, as the electricity generated in hydroelectric plants.

 Nowadays in Chile interest exists in some circles to promote the use of renewable energies, since they are of low cost of exploitation and virtually inexhaustible.

 
The energies used in Chile are:

 Solar power: It has a participation of 46,3 % in the panorama of the renewable not conventional energies in Chile. The zone in which it is more used is in the north of the country, due to being an area of high solar radiations.

 Microhydraulic energy: that has more participation, with 48,5 %

Geothermal energy: 4,4 % of the renewable energy in use in the country corresponds to this variant.

 Wind power: His use still is considered to be scanty (0,4 % of the total of renewable energies

 Biomass: The biomass is the set of organic renewable matter of vegetable or animal origin.

In summary, in this work, I’m going to try to show and explain the use of these energies, the effects and to indicate the regions in those that focus.

Something about me.

My name is Leslie Bravo, I'm 20 years old, I live in cerrillos and actually I study geography. I really enjoy go out of my house and if it’s outside of the town to places with nature, i’ts better.

Now I will talk about somethings that I like to do: travelling somewhere I can meet new people, helping to old people, giving hugs to my little sister gaby, my parents, the loyal people (like my best friend Panchi<3), my house, my puppy bernie, the 80’s music, internet and facebook, the south roads, animals like birds and horses, sitting and look around, smoking in a relax place, dancing and being with my friends and reading drama's books .

The things that definitely I hate are the lies (and the liers), the malice, the people that lives in a bad way or that are always the victim because they are dark and defeated. I dislike the men who flirting a lot and the cold, is disgusting walk with a cold feet.. maybe that’s the reason because i’m always untimely (or maybe not).

About my dreams … I would really like a house away from santiago, closer to a lake to live in calm, alone. I wish that my grandparents could live forever, Help my family and poor people, make things fine and discover the world.

And finally i’m gonna talk about my  fears, like the forget fulness cause i think that i have good people around me and good experiences with them and ..I dont wanna lose my family, we enjoy together and I love them so much.
