5. My favorite movie

Hello my friends, in this time I will talk about my favorite movie.

My favorite movie is not a modern film, it was created in 1954. Of course, this film is in white and black. Its name is "The seven Samurais", created by Akira Kurosawa.

In this movie, the principal actors are, the seven samurais: Toshiro Mifune, Isao Kimura, Yoshio Inaba, Takashi Shimura, Minoru Chiaki, Seiji Miyaguchi and Daisuke Kato.

Well, this movie is about a japanese village, very poor, that it will be attack by a group of thief. They want steal the crop and kill the people who put resistance. So, the older man in the village says that a group of men must go to the city and contract some samurais, because they are the best fighters in the country. However, they haven't money, they will try to pay with rice. So they go to the city and ask to the samurais in the street if they want work for them only for rice, however a lot of fighters feel that the pay is very miserable, so they say "no". The village people feel desperation, they haven't time, until they meet to Kanbei (Takashi Shimura), a samurai who agree the work, and he begin to form a group. One of the seven is the more particular, Kikuchiyo (Toshiro Mifune), he is not a samurai, he is only a farmer who wants to be a samurai, he is easily angered and his character is all the opposite to a samurai.

One time that the group is complete, they go to the village. First they are not welcome, because the farmer have fear of them, but with the time, the samurais and the farmers create a very good and vital relationship. The samurais train to the farmer with sword, arch and arrow and lances. Finally, the group of thief attack the village, they think that it will be easy, but they find to the people very organized. This is the best part of the movie, the battle in the village, thief versus the samurais and the farmers, but I will not say more, the people have to watch this movie.

Wow, Akira Kurosawa and this movie was the inspiration for George Lucas and Star Wars and for Clint Eastwood and his cowboys movies. For this reason I would not change nothing in this movie.

That's all for now, I leave the trailer

4. A piece of news

Hello my friends, in this time I will talk about a relevant news that happened in this week.

.

In this time I will write about the terrible murder of a young men by a hired assassin and a woman, I think that she have a several psychiatric disorder. The women called María del Pilar hired José Ruz for kill to Diego Schmith-Hebbel, the son of a well family. The tragedy happened in November's 2008 in Providencia.

.

In this case, I am surprise for all the plan, this was something calculated, this wasn't a ordinary murder, María del Pilar or "Quintrala" hired to killer for murder to somebody, this is terrify. And when she was catch, she didn't show a remorse sign, her face hasn't any expression. By the other hand, the hired assassin, José Ruz, he, almoust, has a sad expression, maybe it was scare.

.

The victim's family was very affected. His parents have a terrible depression. The mother, Mrs. Niehaus, cry during the judgment and she said that "A piece that herself die that night"; the father, Mr. Schmith-Hebbel, only want justice for his son. However, the most affected on this tragedy, is the girlfriend, she was witness of this murder.

.

This case is very important, for the family in particular, and for the Chilean Justice in general. If the judge say a minimal punishment, the people will not trust in the justice system. This is very critical because it exist the posibility that the people take the justice into his own hands.

.

Other new, a new that I would like hear on the radio is the control by the SERNAC to all the musical recital in Chile. The last summer came to this country Metallica, but I did not go because the expensive tiket. I researched in internet and I saw that the tiket for the same concert, the same position on the stadium in Chile, was the double that Argentina and the tripled that Perú. That is unfair, so I would like to hear that SERNAC or other institution can control the price of the tikets.

.

That`s all for now.

Bye!

Well, if I have show a tourist the beautiful places in this city, I will begin for the Santiago center with my top 5 places to go:


- Santa Lucia Hill: This place with a very beautiful colonial architecture, it was created by Benjamin Vicuña Mackena. The most amazing sculture is the water fountain with a big statue. This statue represents the sea god, Poseidon. On the top of the hill, we can see a beautifil view of Santiago, we can see the San Cristobal Hill, the Central House of the Universidad Catolica and the principal way, Alameda Ave.


- Plaza de Armas: This place was for a long time the kilometer 0 of the city. This place was founded when the first spanish arrived this place in the XVI century. This square is surrounded for the great Cathedral, the Portal Fernandez Concha, the Central Post Office, the Santiago' s Municipality and the National Historic Museum.


- Parque O'Higgins: This is the perfect place for a long walk, sorround for beautiful trees. This place is special for to do a big barbecued because it have very much grills, special for have a great time with the family.

This centenary place was build in the half of the XIX century and the great gastronomic speciality are all the food with shellfish. Near this place are other tipical restaurant, La Piojera, and they are famous for the traditional drink called "Terremoto".

This hill have a great zoo full of beautifuls animals like monkeys, tigers, penguins. It have a little japanese garden, very calm. On the top of the hill is the big statue, the Virgen Marie and we can see a great view of this city.

1. First Term: Good and bad points

Wow, very long time that I wasn't write in this blog...

All right, the first half of 2010 was difficult in my academic life. Firs I took six class, the normal is only five. So, I was really stressed, but I finished all very well. My tendence was the health class, in the psychologic line, I read many authors Psychoanalist and Health's Psychology; in the laboral class I studied the way to do a laboral diagnostic in a bussines, I remember that we studied the Barros Luco Hospital, that was really funny. However, the most interesting class was Trauma Psycho-social, that was great, all the history about the Chilean military time between 1973 to 1989, and we knew the mystery of the families who lost their member in that horrible time; we went to Villa Grimaldi, a concentration camp and we knew the history of the things that happened in that place, it was really amaizng.

However, the first term of this year was very difficult because of health problems. Almoust two month I was very sick, I did not come to the University and I visited to different doctors. I was very weak. The most unfortunate was that in this period of the year it was my birthday, but I didn't celebrate, I was on a very strict diet, only light food and water. The beer, parties, natural juices, Coca Cola and the food with fat or colesterol were forbbiden.

But now, I am not sick anymore. I have a lot of energy for this second half of the year with new subject in the University, including a sport class.

That`s all for now.

See you!

Second turn 2010

Welcome to the English IV

The last task...

Woooooow my friends... this is the last task of this subject!. In my opinion, this blog was funny, I like write my ideas and my point of view about a theme determined. With this blog I killed some boring afternoons, and the task that I really enjoyed was the photography, wow, in that task I was really inspire. However, in some time I was really busy with my exams, so I had no time for to do this task, that stressed me a little.

This blog help me very much in my english, because when I did this task, I was form my own way to do the words, I created to my way the different oration, and I searched in the "Google traductor" this word that I didn't know. So, the blog was a very useful way to learn this important language.

The advantages of have a blog in the English class is that we have time for think and create long stories using all the contents, but structured as own point of view. Other important aspect is the continuity of this exercise, this is really important because it maintains always exercising our knowledge, and this blog is qualified with a big ponderation, so, this is a good opportunity for increase our califications.

So, that's all for this semester, we will not see us in the next class , so, good holidays for the best English III class in the Universidad de Chile
