MY BLOGGING EXPERIENCE 


I really enjoy write in my blog every Monday in the English class because it helps to express myself about different topics and know different words and the English grammar in a different way, also because we can help each other. The only thing that I hate of the Monday's morning English class is the computers, because they don't work NEVER, and they're slow and ugly.

The English blog helps me to improve my English because every time that I write here I can write better and ask Henry all the mistakes that I have.

I think the blog is a disadvantage because when you don't come to the class yo have 0 points and you can't make your english better as I say before. And is an advantage because all the things that I mentioned at the beggining of my blog

WOULD YOU LIKE A CUP OF SUSPENDED COFFEE?

This programme talks about coffee and an interesting new project which is going on in many European cafes. Also how expensive can be a cup of coffee in different places.

How much can it cost per kilogram? 

a) $5 

b) $50 

c) $550 

After the question they talk about the price of the coffee in different coffee shops and how often do the people buy one, durying the day or other moment. Also there are lots of people who don't have money every day for drink a cup of coffee, so now a new scheme means that they can go to a café… Now in Europe, people can pay for a suspended coffee... so, you ask yourself: What is a suspended coffee? Well, a suspended coffee is where you give money for a coffee that someone can drink later.

Hettie Clark talks about the people who can go for this suspended coffe, and there are 3 types: Homeless - Hard on their luck - collaborative with the refugee centre down the road.

Nothing was difficult for me, but a little unusual because I never thought about a "suspended coffee" but I really loved the idea. People can think about the others and give money for the other person's coffee. Charity or not is a very interest idea!

IT'S ABOUT ME, MYSELF AND I

Hi♥ I'm very bad with te punctuality, because I'm lazy, but I have to change that situation, I know :( and is not just for coming to University, In the future that will be a problem for me. But I'm working on that. And I will be the most punctual person in the world :D.

On next weekend I think that I'm helping my mother with my brother because she will have a hard week because is my brother's school's aniversary, and my mom will help the teacher with all the kids. 

Tomorrow, I need to make a cake for my grandfather's birthday. A pancakes cake, I love cooking sweet things. Also I'm studying a little of grammar, because in the last test I was a disaster.

Something that I love doing when I'm on holiday is spending  all the time with my family and my friends visiting new places and doing things everyday, I hate wasting my time watching TV boring in my house, I love going to Fantasilandia, or different parks in Santiago, or maybe the zoo, I love going to the zoo.

Something that I don't mind doing in my house is wash the dishes, I don't know why. But I love doing all the other things.


I must remember call my boss in the promotion agency, because I need to work. So I can forget it ;).

I want to learn French, because is different and it has something in its accent.

TWEET OF THE DAY

The name of the program is because a BBC radio station in the UK is playing a different birdsong every day. They're calling it "Tweet of the Day" and it talks about the sound of birds and what it means in different situations.

·Do you know how many species of birds there are on Britain's official bird list? 
 a) 396 
 b) 496 
 c) 596 


After the question, they talk about tweeting - of the bird kind. In the morning when all the birds start singning you hate them! Because the only thing that you want is sleep, but if you think good... When you listen to the birdsong, inmediatly you can imagine so many different places. 
They talk about a "cuckoo" and the remembers that they has about it, and the beautiful childhood with the birdsongs.

A writer called Julian Treasure says birdsong can relax the body and make 
your mind more alert. And it is like a nature's alarm clock and gets our brains working and thinking.

Nothing was unusual for me because I love nature, and birds and animals in general! I love this program, and a birdsong is better than a smartphone and all I need to do is open the 
window and listen to the birds outside…

BOO!

I'm really  afraid of ghosts, but I don't have any type of strange experience with them or something like that. When I was a child, my grandmother told me a story about her father, who died when she was 15 years old. She didn't have a good relationship with him, because he was a bad father with her and all his children. Every time she slept on his bed she felt a very strange sensation of guilt. One night, her mom didn't arrive to the house and she heard the voice of Carlos, her father! And she shouted very loud, but nothing happen in that moment. She didn't tell to anybody the strange situation. A couple of weeks later, my grandmother went to the church and she felt better. That night she heard him again, this time talking about all his mistakes in the past, but it was a lost voice, she didn't understand anything. She thought that he wants to apologize, just that.
