Life is beautiful


Hello classmates in this opportunity I choose the topic, and the topic that I choose is movies.
I love all kinds of movies, well, except for action movies like "Terminator"... I feel that it depends on my mood, the kind of movie I want to see. So when I need to cry I see romantic movies because I know myself and cry with romantic movies, they are usually sad.  I think movies are a good way for catharsis.
When I’m really interested to see a good movie, I usually ask my friends to recommend one to see. I like a lot the movies that leave me in shock when they end, or they do reflect on my own life.
I like so many movies that I couldn’t say which one is my favorite, but I think that one could be "Life is beautiful". It is a beautiful movie that makes you laugh, makes you mourn, for what values ​​you have, you stop for a moment to reflect.

"Life is beautiful" is an Italian film, it is written, directed and starring by Roberto Benigni. It tells the story of Guido, his wife Dora and their son Giosuè, who are in a concentration camp.

I think you must have seen it, but if you have not already, please watch it, it's a great movie, a great story!

Frieze or faculty? One art critic's move from academia to journalism

On this occasion carries a summary of the following news where Agnieszka Gratza talks about his career change and artistic circle:
The art critic and journalist Agnieszka Gratza Recivier an email from Benoît Rossel French-Swiss filmmaker said he wanted someone to help him make a documentary cinematic artists, he worked in various jobs before being an art critic, then finish long-term relationship, moved to London to work at Queen Mary University of London in Mile End, She shares an apartment next to Brick Lane journalist who introduced him to his artist friends, many of which now appear in the movie in which helping.
Lane also left his job to start taking drawing classes.
Neither repented despite the uncertain future that may present the arts.
When Gratza began working with art and film had no knowledge of these issues but ensures that became positive, as a former academic in the face of journalism should try to prove that he can write in a more accessible.
Recently they presented to director Chisenhale Gallery will present its current program.
The decline of writing opportunities in the arts makes it less viable work, unless they work in the curatorship or teaching, but these are options that only have a few.

The academy and the art world have much in common especially when the two are full of eccentric and grow their own eccentricity. On the eve of one week’s frieze and what it entails can’t help but feel the sense of having changed from one bubble to another.

Food!

Hello classmates, In this opportunity I choose the topic that I will talk, and is the food, well, maybe  seem boring, but  I would talk about the food, because quickly came to my mind.
First, I think that  I have to say my favorite food, not is a plate of food, I think it is more a snack, is the dried meat, must sound weird but is true, always I eat dried meat, I love it.  My favorite plate of food is fried fish with salad and lasagna,  a curious thing is that when I visit my parents in my hometown I always expect them with a tasty cazuela, is funny because before I came to live in Santiago I hated the cazuela, now  I love it. The food that I never liked are the beans, but I really like lentils, try to be ordered with meals, since I cook myself. As for vegetables, I like a lot and I have no problem eating them, but the fruit I eat costs a little more. I try not to eat a lot of fast food because it really is very harmful to our body, but sometimes I fall into the temptation…

I hope finally not been so boring the topic I chose, I say goodbye, many greetings...

Santa Cruz


Hello classmates, today I will talk about my hometown, because I live in Santiago because I study here, but I am from Santa Cruz, my hometown.  Santa Cruz is a small town located in the VI region of the country, is a tourist town, famous for being part of the route of the wine with a lot of vineyards and the train of the wine. In Santa Cruz there is a museum that I really like and there is a casino, that I’ don´t like. In my opinion is horrible for a small town with rural customs, well, is horrible in any place, I really don´t like casinos.

You can always find tourists in the square of the town, the “Plaza de Armas” yes is the same name that the square of Santiago.  People from Santiago maybe can think that living in Santa Cruz is boring, but it is great, because it is a quiet place, but entertaining especially with the friends. I conserved friends from school, and also I went to Santa Cruz with some of my friends from university.

In my home in Santa Cruz my parents are living and I live in Santiago with my brothers, so at the weekends to visit my parents with my sister and my brother. It was difficult to move but now I’m used to live in Santiago.

Well, that’s all for today…
