Informal letter.

Dear Anna.

Sorry it's taken me so long to write, But as you know I've been decorating the House. In fact, I finished last sunday, so I celebrate the "Fiestas Patrias" with all my Family, in my country every September 18 we commemorate the Independence of Chile, in 1810 it signed the treaty that gave Independence to Chile, this commemoration for my country is very important because from that day Chile was a country free and independent.

There 's always typical Chilean food like empanadas, pastel de choclo, anticuchos, choripanes, but the most famous food is the barbecue, because one can do with your friend or family in a house or in a park, other important and typical thing in Chile is chicha this drink is made from the fermentation of the grape. Many people go to the "Parque O'higgings" to fondas, there are typical games, people take drinks, dance and is very happy in these days, on september 19 is the Military Parade is also done in the "Parque O'higgins" this day many people are important like the President, Ministers and the important member of Parliament.

Anyway all this organized by the government so that people see that Chile is a country militarily secure.

well, that's all from me. Let me know what you've been doing recently.

All the best.

Caro.

The gloomy house we called our attention in a special way is like everything to be a chilling coincidence so we decided to go see her.The door was open and yet very dark inside and we could feel someone was watching us

The best way to travel in Santiago

In my opinion the best way to travel in Santiago is the subway, because the subway it is faster and not pollution, also important thing is that the subway is connect with all places, other was of transportation can be the bus, there are many in Santiago they don't pollute the city the only problem is that they are very slow and the people arrive late for their jobs.

I prefer to take the subway every morning, I take the train in "Ciudad del Niño" station and then I have to options connections in "Santa Ana" or "Los Heroes" stations, But I prefer to connect in "Santa Ana" is more faster and this station there aren't a lot of people like in "Los Heroes", because in this statition is horrible and impossible take a train, this travel takes me between 40 or 45 minutes to go to University.

Other options is the motorcycle doesn't pollute the city and nowaday are very popular, the people can do exercices, the benefits of motorcycle are never in a traffic jam, the problem we have in my opinion is that they are very dangerous.

Anyway, I think the subway is the best option for travel in Santiago, because it it faster.

Travel Narrows the Mind.

I disagree with the author who wrote "Travel Narrows the Mind", because there are many people who likes travel long distances without caring that there will be in this place only one or two weeks, also there are people who like to climb mountains as important as Everest.

If I decide to visit China, Japon or Autralia can't take a train because it's absurd I would have to travel by train as 8 or 10 months to get to those countries. Although rail train has its benefits because we enjoy the beautiful landscape and meet people from differents places.

In my opinon the author has a wrong thinking on long trips because people are free to spend theri money on whatever they want.

The effect os tourism in Chile?

The turism in Chile has possitive effect and some negative. The possitie is that turism give a lot of money to the country, because they buy a lot of things like clothes, handicraft, they go to the restaurants, another things important is culture exchange also they can visit historical sites and museums.

The negative is the garbage left o the beaches, streets, monuments destruccions like Isla de Pascua and the fire caused some tourists on camping.

Finally you have to visit Chile because is a beautiful country and you can learn a new language like mapudungu, they can taste the typical food mapuche or typical food in south Chile like curanto, chapalele, milkao.

Positive and Negative things about the Tourism.

Many tourists come to Chile in the winter or summer, for example in the winter the tourists go to Portillo, Farrellones,Valle Nevado, in these places the tourist can practice differents sports like ski, snowboar, the tourista can also visit Torres del Paine in my opinion is the most beautiful place in Chile.

In the summer is very different because the tourists can visit many places like south, north of chile, but the most famous beaches in the summer are Viña del Mar or la Serena, these two beaches are that have more tourists in the summer.

The benefit that the tourist visit differents countries is the money, because many touriste buy a lot of things like handicrafts, they eat to restaurants, buy clothes in differents malls, another important thing is the culture exchange because they learn our culture and we learn their culture.

You have the negative side of turists, one of the things that suffer when tourists visits dangerous countries like Brasil and Mexico are the thefts, in this places many tourists steal their luggage, their money and sometimes robbed of their jewelry.

other negative effect of tourist is terrorism that suffer countries like Afaganistan, Pakistan and Isarael or diseases such as swine flu that affect the worldwide turism.

I recommend visiting Chile because it is a beautiful country, quiet and cheap.

I Prefer to learn Malgasy

When I read two stories I saw that the story of my classmate is more interesting, because talks about the History and culture of Madagascar.

The story is about a woman who explain the importants to learn the language, for undertand the interesting culture, in my opinion the most important thing in this story is how many children live in Madagascar, because they can't go to the school and many children in this country have to work for their subsistence. Today en Chile has the same problem with the poorest children.

Madagascar also have interesting place like city of Ranomafona in this place the young people can communicate with a simple language.

In my opinion I would like visit Madagascar because is an interesting and exotic place with a beautiful beaches and I imagine in Madagascar there are a lot of beautiful places that you can visit for example restaurants because the food in Madagascar is delicious.

In conclusion, maybe the next year I would like to visit Madagascar with my boyfriend and enjoy some nice days together in paradise beaches.
