I would like to visit...

In this second post I’m going to write about England. I would like to visit this country for many reasons. First, I have never been to another country outside of Chile, and I think in England because I could learn more English. I don`t know a lot of thing about, but something that I know is that England has a great history, and many places to visit, like castles, museums, and it’s closer to other European countries If I want to visit other countries. Also I know that the English people are very “cold” with the tourists and in their lives too, in general. Another thing that I have heard about England is that there is very expensive to live.

In England I would like to go to the football games, because in this country is the best football league, the premier league, with famous team such as the Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal, among other teams that I always have seen their matches on television and this would be a dream come true for me. There are more important sports events, such as Wimbledon, an important tennis tournament. In England I would like to visit the Buckingham palace, the big ben, the Stonehenge and to travel on the famous red buses of London.

There, I would like to study in Oxford a subjetc related with the social science, like sociology or history, maybe do a Phd. But by the moment this is only a nice dream..

First Term: Good and Bad Points

The last term was very tiring for me, because I had six subjects and the mayority of them were very hard, with a lot of work to do. One of the subjects that I liked the most, was Chilean social history, with Gabriel Salazar, he was a great teacher and he knows a lot. Another subject that I really liked was social psicology, because there we saw really interesting themes about the society which we didn't know at the moment. The worse subject in the term was cuantitative methodology, because the class was in the evening on thuesday, and I have to confess, I didn't go a lot to this class in the term, It was really bored... But in general, the last term was good for me, because I approved all the subjects, and my grades were very good.

Another important thing for me about the first term is that I began to lead in my scout group. I have been scout for ten years, and this year is very important because I started to be a leader. I am very happy, because I work with children doing something that I really enjoy, and this is my way to provide my grain of sand to the society, because we are teching to the kids to live in a different way to the normal, like the school.

In the last term my little brothers began the scholl, they are twins, and they are seven years old. How I said, they began the school this year, and they are very excited, and very happy. Sometimes I have to help them in their homework, because sometimes they are a little lazy, but they are very smart, and I am sure, they complete the year satisfactorialy.

I hope that this term will be better than the first, and like the last, this will be succesfull for me.

SECOND TERM!!!!!!!
