- Abril 2018 - La Gran Isla Este fin de semana, yo fui a Chiloé (La Gran Isla) para vistar un otro voluntario. Con dos otros amigos, los cuatro visitamos al Parque Nacional de Chiloé. Había muchos bosques y humedales allí pero sorprendentemente no mucha fauna. (This weekend, I went to Chiloé (the big island) to visit one of the other volunteers. With two other friends, the four of us visited the National Park of Chiloé. There was lots of forests and wetlands there but surprisingly not much wildlife.) Caminamos hacia el mar pero no podemos entrar porque había un río que bloquea al camino. (We walked towards the sea but we couldn't reach it because there was a river blocking the path!) Al día siguiente, fuimos a Delcahue porque fue descrito por la hostel propietario como el espíritu de Chiloé. De verdad, era bonita y finalmente el clima era soleado. (The next day, we went to Delcahue because it was described by the hostel owner like the spirit of Chiloé. It's true, it was beautiful and finally sunny) Más tarde, hicimos dedo a una gran cascada. (Later we hitchhiked to a big waterfall)July 14, 201960
- The computer is the most important invention of the last hundred years.<s>With</s> While computers <s>has</s> have become a necessary part of daily life, it is an argument that whether the computer is the most important invention in the past one hundred years.

Pocahontas
Have you ever come across a challenging and courageous story? This is the main plot of the brand new and lesser-known movie “Pocahontas”. She is a youngster who doesn’t fit in with her tribe back in 1607. Feeling resentful of the insisting demand for marriage, Pocahontas sets out on a new journey following her own path. Thankfully, her grandmother supports her strongly and makes her see the unattainable as achievable. How profound would your willpower and thoughts have been in that time?
This film gives a revealing insight into the injustice that women in the past had to experience. Having said that, Pocahontas plays a compelling performance as a feminist and mature girl. Furthermore, every clip is unpredictable and uncertain owing to the fact that the character's personality is impulsive and rather reckless at times. In the end, Pocahontas' aims turn out well but you will realise how harsh living conditions were in such an epoch.
Even though it is a real life story, there are obvious modifications in the film [a flick is a particular type of film, like a romantic comedy] which interferes in the original thread. If the producers hadn't skipped memorable scenes such as Pocahontas’ imprisonment, the plot would have been more realistic and powerful. To the untrained eye, historical flaws related to clothing and biography might be overlooked.
I would highly recommend this film to anyone interested in activism and historical drama. I, for one, was amazed by Pocahontas’ exceptional acts and it made me seek out more information on her story. Without a shadow of a doubt, this is a film not to be missed.0 votedApril 29, 20191Please help me to correct my essay. Thank you so much!
Some areas in the US are applying a “curfew” which only permits teenagers to be outdoors with the presence of their guardian, after a particular time at night. I believe that this is a positive policy because it keeps adolescents away from dangers and prevents them from committing a crime.
On the one hand, curfew hours will help to keep the youngsters safe from the danger of being kidnapped or injured. Because people from 12 to 16 are not completely mature, which means they are not able to make a suitable decision in some emergencies. Therefore, they are becoming the easy targets of drunks, kidnappers and other criminals. For example, according to a recent survey conducted in 2017, 60% of teenager kidnapping cases happened during nighttime.
On the other hand [This is used to make an opposite point, e.g. there should NOT be a curfew, so it isn't suitable here]. Also, restricting the hours that teenagers can play outside without the observation of adults can prevent them from becoming juvenile criminals. That is to say that young people who are able to play outside at night are prone to buying alcoholic drinks and drugs which utterly cost more than their acceptable allowances. In order to keep buying them, they end up stealing or doing bad things to earn money. For instance, in China 50% of young generations who are usually out at night are addicts and more than 70% of them committed crime in the last 5 years.
In conclusion, setting a curfew for adolescents should be carried out, not only in the US, but also on a global scale since it will help to keep the young generation being safe and prevent them becoming juvenile criminals.0 votedApril 29, 20190- Paisajes de Los Lagos Abril 2018 - Paisajes de Los Lagos Quería aprovechar al máximo mi tiempo en Chile. Entonces decidí para llenar mis fines de semanas con muchas actividades en mi región de Los Lagos. Al primero, fui a un partido de fútbol con mi profesor anfitriona para ver el equipo local, Puerto Montt, jugar. También exploré Puerto Varas con mi familia anfitriona. Desde el Lago Llanquihue, se puede ver dos volcanos, se llaman Osorno y Calbuco. El fin de semana siguiente, ¡fui en una aventura! con mi profesor anfitriona y otras voluntarios quienes estaban viviendo en Chiloé, una isla cerca. Fuimos a Volcán Osorno. Conducimos al centro de esquí y luego caminamos por la volcán. ¡Las vistas eran increíble! Después de eso, fuimos a la laguna verde y las cascadas de Petrohue. ¡Todo el paisaje allá era totalmente hermoso! También, comimos muchos bayas de 'murta' frescos de los arbustos. El sabor era un poco ácido pero estas bayas eran especialmente sabroso con el Kuchen que mi mamá anfitriona haría. Hay muchas personas de origen alemán en el sur de Chile entonces hay influencias germánica como Kuchen (el pastel) y la arquitectura. Finalmente, fuimos al Lago Todos Los Santos y fuimos en un paseo en barco. Una vez más, ¡el paisaje era asombroso! Cuando vives en Los Lagos, ¡pasarás mucho tiempo en barcos!April 29, 201950
- The Grand CanyonHello Sam,How are you doing? Is everything OK? Last Sunday I visited the Grand Canyon and I want to tell you about that place.The Grand Canyon is situated in Arizona, USA. <s>That place</s> It is very popular because it’s a natural wonder that will shock you by its size.The Grand Canyon attracts holiday makers <s>by</s> with its beauty. <s>That place</s> It can’t be compared with other places because it’s <s>a</s> so special <s>one</s>. An other reason is the western films. In <s>that</s> those films we can see the life of Americans in the 19th century, things like saloons, cowboys, horses, revolvers and also canyon landscapes.When I first saw the canyon I was really excited and shocked. It’s a really wonderful sight. When you come to the cliff, you feel<s>ing</s> so little and helpless. You should go there, I promise you will like it <s>that place</s>.Next time I <s>will</s> would like to go to the Grand Canyon with you, it would be fantastic!Best wishes,Tyrion0 votedApril 26, 20191
- Mi nuevo blog Hola a todos, Yo empezó un nuevo blog sobre mis experiencias en vida. Mi blog está escrito en inglés y castellano. ¿Pueden ayudarme con mi gramática de castellano por favor? Mi blog está aquí: https://diaryspanish.home.blog/ pero he incluido una entrada de blog aquí, ¡Muchas Gracias! Enero 2018 - Maratón. El viaje empezó. Tres meses es tiempo suficiente para entrenar por un maratón? No un maratón del camino, sino un maratón de campo. En Gales. En enero. Pues, eso es lo que Dave y yo hicimos. El reloj comenzó y 100 corredores y unos perros empezaron hacia la montaña. Necesitamos caminar porque había colas en los senderos estrechos. Después seis kilómetros, había un punto de control con dulces deliciosos. La ruta siguió la costa y era hermosa pero frío con lluvia. Yo estaba feliz y disfrutando la carrera. Luego, nosotros doblamos una esquina y la lluvia y el viento empezó. Y el lodo empezó. Nos dirigimos hacia el interior pero los últimos 15k todavía sería muy difícil. Viajamos a través de campos de ovejas, caballos y cerdos. ¿Porqué no nos presentamos un maratón del camino? No lo sé. ¡Lo logramos! Después de 5 horas y 52 minutos, 1000 metros de elevación y mucho mucho lodo, ¡cruzamos la línea de meta! Llegamos 30 y 31 de 61 corredores.April 26, 201930
