My experience with the blogging


Finally this experience end but post in the blog was different to other English class. In the others English class I has presentation, oral interaction, listening, etc. but never have I posted in a blog.


However what is a blog? It is a website where you write periodically post an article (the most recent article appearing first) and somebody can write an answer producing a dialogue. Nevertheless the author can no allow that other people post a comment.


Moreover the blogging enable write a comment, to share ideas and feelings with somebody, also pictures and videos. Besides it allow to advertise and earn money (I put a advertisement but I not get money)


I enjoy it because was anything different to other English class, I learned about Norberto Bobbio, arrive of the Chilean football, my favourite film, and others topics and I know the classmates opinions. My favourite post was about Norberto Bobbio because I could better understand his thinking from his life. Also the bogging helped me to improve my English. Notwithstanding the blogging don’t makes the oral interaction therefore it only help to improve writing in English.


However in the class we had many problems with the computers; all computers no of order, ones without internet or with internet but it down suddenly. Anyway I could do my works in the blog and post to my classmates (I hope to get good grades).


In my opinion the blogging is a good tool for learn English because from it the students learn writing, sharing greetings, answer any article, in others words it give freedom to communicate with others in English.


Finally I hope to continue using the blog for write articles, post comment to my classmates and learn more English.


Definitely I feel that I know more English that when began this year

When arrive the football to Chile?¿?¿


The football is the most important sport in Chile. It arrives to Chile in the nineteen century when the English people disembarked in Valparaiso, Iquique, Coquimbo and Talcahuano. In these seaports the football became the most popular imported sport in minus of one decade.
The practice of the football started into British group on Mackay high school and Southerland from Cerro Alegre.
The first matches were played between 1885 and 1886 in the Valparaiso sporting club. In July 10th of those years Valparaiso F.C., the first Chilean football team, played.
In 1893 this sport arrives to Santiago. In November 25th of this year

was played the first international match. In the sporting club the seaport Chilean team versus a similar Argentina team composed by British citizens. This game finished with a tie.
In 1894 the seaport football clubs increased and these organized a tournament where the Valparaíso F.C. and Mackay F.C, Cerro Concepción team of the Cable West Word Company, England, Scotland, Valparaiso football league, Santiago and Viña del mar participated as well. This enthusiasm by the football originated two new football clubs: Victoria Rangers and Valparaíso Wanderers. Of these old football clubs only Santiago Wanderers and Everton from Viña del Mar survive today. Santiago Wanderers was born in August 15th in 1892 and Everton in June24th in 1909.
In Santiago, the football diffusion started a little after the seaports. It began in the Santiago College and the English international Institute from Quinta normal. In 1893 the Santiago club, the first football team from Santiago, was founded and after that the Santiago city (1893) and Santiago Rangers (1896) began.

Computer and computer games


My favourite technology is the computer. I can do with it papers, presentations and other works. Besides I can hear my favourite music, watch videos and films, chat with my friends, to have conference group, send e-mails, etc.

Anyway I use the computer to surf the net. My favourite websites are Facebook, Hotmail, Politicastereo, Catholic.com and Emol.

However I am a fan of the computer games. I like the strategy games such as Age of empires, Empire Earth, Rise of nations and those where you are the captain must build cities, harvest resources and destroy the enemy army.

Moreover I like “The Sims”. It is a social simulator where you create a family, build a home, to get job, and fulfill their needs for your family are happy. Nevertheless my favorite computer game is call Tropico 3. In this game you are the President of a banana republic and you can issue decrees, build big buildings, manage the economy, and meet the needs of the population, including other. Furthermore these games help me to develop my management and strategic skills.

Finally I invited you to explore the magic word of the computer games but without to drive nuts.
