Don Quixote: The crazy knight of La Mancha




I have never read the novels of famous writer Miguel de Cervantes, but since I was a child I knew the adventures of Don Quixote and his faithful friend Sancho.

When I was seven years the channel tv UCV, broadcast a cartoon called Don Quixote and the stories of La Mancha. I watched this program every day in the afternoon. I sat on the carpet in the living of my house and I turned on the TV.

This cartoon was very funny, because Don Quixote was clumsy and crazy.He believed was a hero and he always imagined adventures, but all things were illusions of his mind.

Don Quixote always was looking for his beloved Dulcinea. She was a young and beautiful girl. Dulciena didn`t want Don Quixote and when she needed help she calling him.

Where to go?

I have lived 20 years in Maipú and I don´t know many places for visit. Really I think that I`m not the best touristic guide, because I am the most of time in my house and when I go to place I never know where I am. I have ask the people in the street like arrive to destination.

However, I have visited some town and my favorite is Quintero. In this place my gradmother live and every summer I go to her house. Quintero is in the Valparaiso region and It has different turistic parts. For example, you can go to Ritoque and know the dunes. Ritoque is a seaside resort where many famous people have houses.

If you have money you can travel in a motorboat or ride a horse. But, if you can´t spend a lot of money by only eight hundred pesos you can eat a delicious shellfish or cheese pie. I don´t leave Quintero without eat fish stock.


In Quintero, also the touristic can dive and visited the submerged Cristo. The religious sculpture is a 12 meters deep and It have almost five meters of high. Every year the people travel in motorboat for pray.

Quintero is a small town and the night isn`t agitated, this place have little discos o pub. The best option is enjoy with friends in the beach near of bonfire. For reason if you want to have fun and visit nice places see Quintero.

Brazil the best country do mundo


Since I was a child I have dreamed about traveling to Brazil. I love this country, its tv programs are excellent in especial the soap operas. I would like work as scriptwriter in the famous brazilian channel as Reccord or Globo.

Brazil is a beautiful country and I would like the Nacional Park of Iguazu. In this place you can see the Cataratas of Iguazu. This reserve was declared world Heritage because It has many animals species and vegetation.

I think that I can live in Brazil perfectly because the people are very friendly. I haven’t problem with idiom. I have studied the Portuguese when I watch the episodes of my favorite soap opera “India” and I can learn more vocabulary.
I am saving money to travel to Olympic Games Río of Janerio 2016. My favorite discipline is the rhytmical gymnastics. Also, I would like to go Brazil Carvanal and I can see the people dancing or the samba school parading for the street.
In Brazil I could stay in the house of dad´s friend: Leonel. He always says that I can visit him home. Well, I just hope to have money and I can know to the best country do mundo: brazil.

Bad and good

The first semester was a bad experience. I felt tired with my career and I hated of courses. I never get up early and I arrived late to the class. But when I arrived my house all things was different, I forget the problems and I played with my babys Camilo and Valentín.(they are my dogs).

In my house my parents had a store and they worked all day, we can `t together many times. For reason, I was the most of time with my sister Valentina. We watched tv or I went to the Telepizza, also we took for a walk to the pets.

The better of last semester was the vacations; I visited to my grandmother in Valparaiso, I was the beautiful place 2 weeks and I had to rest. Every morning, I walked in the beach and the evening I watched tv in my bed.

Challenging, yet essential

Since my first English lesson, it was quite difficult for me to blog. I had never maintained a blog before, and I didn’t know how to post an entry or upload photos. Miss Rosa Zagal should have taught me how to maintain a blog. This was very funny because it took me an entire lesson until I fully understood; however, I ran out of time, and I could only type a few words. When I got used to the blog, I had another drawbacks that made this experience tedious.

While posting new entries, I didn’t know what to type. As I don t have a wide range of vocabulary, every time I wanted to type something, I had to look for online dictionaries to increase my vocabulary constantly, and this was quite boring too.

One of the many things I never liked about blogging was the subjects I had to talk about. I’m very shy and introverted person, and I had to talk about myself basically. This was embarrassing, because I had to share my personal life with my classmates: strangers that could read my blog whenever they want to. I think that is so shameful.

Sincerely, the entries I posted weren’t good at all. Along with my classmates, I started the English lesson at six p.m., after a long tiring study day; at that point, I am very exhausted. Every Thursday, I wake up at 5:45 a.m. to go to the university and fulfill my duties. So, when I sat in front of the computer to post a new entry, my mind was filled with tiredness, and I wished I could sleep. I didn’t want to type anything at all.

Besides, after a limited amount of time, we had to finish our assignment. I was always so tired, nervous, and it took me a lot of time to accomplish the assignment. Once I carried out it, I posted the demanded entry with the text I made.

Despite the aforementioned troubles to blog, at long last, I think this is a very effective way to increase the vocabulary and improve my English grammar. It’s a more dynamic and simple method than doing an English vocabulary test.

On the other hand, I discovered and acquired a new tool that may be very useful for me in my career as a journalist. Now, I can create my own blog, publish my own articles, or simply post an entry about any subject.

Finally, I would like to say that, If you don’t have a good command of a language like English, it is very hard to have correct writing. Nevertheless, the only way to learn is to practice and have the willpower. I hope I can write in English someday without having to look for translations, or English synonyms on Internet.
