Hello every one! Today I’m going to talk about a sport that I do in my free time. The tennis is one of my favorite sports to play and watch, together the football, and I play it since I was 8 years old. When I was a kid I always like to watch tennis matches on the TV, and with my neighborhoods we played on the street, but when I turn 8 years old my parents enrolled me in a tennis school near my house. There I learn to play in a big court, and also all the rules, even I played metropolitan tournaments. But when I grow up I stop playing so much because I start to play more football. This year I’m trying to restart this sport because I must admit that I didn´t do too much physical activity last year and I’m want to change that. For that reason I started to play the weekends with a friend from school who has tennis courts near his house in the commune of Macul. I’m not so good like my early years but I think with practice I’m going to play better, also my physical resistance is improvi...

Hello, today I am going to talk about my best friend. His name is Daniel and I met him in high school. He is from Canada and move to Chile in 2010 with his mom and siblings. He was born in Toronto but he lives the most part of his life in Alberta. The reason that he moves to Chile is because his mom is from here, and she decided to come back. I remember the first day of school when we met, he could barely speak Spanish so with my classmates had the objective to teach him the basic words and some bad words too. At school, we spent a lot of time together also with another friend called Simon; we had lunch at his house every day because he lived near the school. With Daniel, we become very close friends for many reasons, one of those things are that we like the same kind of music, comics and sense of humor, because I always liked English stuffs that he also knows when he was in Canada. Also my family is very close to his family too, our mothers meet sometimes like us. When we left s...

Hello everyone, instead of talking about a single house I would like to talk about a group of houses with a unique style that gives an identity to a neighborhood, that is Yungay in the commune of Quinta Normal. The first time I see this type of old houses was when I was a child, in that time I like a lot the streets, the houses and the daily life of the neighborhood. Now that I´m studying architecture I had the opportunity to visit again the place, with another vision and knowledge. One of the things that caught my attention was the mixture of architecture because there houses with a style from the IXX century to these days. The houses characterized by having a continuous façade that mostly does not pass the two floors and have a small space for the pedestrians because long time ago the cars didn´t exist. Like I said before is the mixture of periods that gives the identity to this place, is not only in the architecture but also in the culture and the people, that is I like the most...

Hello! Today I´m going to talk about something that I’m learning right now and I like to learn more every year, this is the use of digital programs that I can use to express in a better way my ideas and sketches related with the architecture, for example programs like Photoshop, illustrator, AutoCAD and rhino. The way I am learning this support tools, is watching some videos in the internet, like tutorials or people who upload their works, also in the university when I had a few basic classes where the teachers explain the use of each program and answer the questions that we have. Another way, and in my opinion is the best method to learn, is doing works with my classmates because learning in group gives the possibility to resolve problems in easy way, for example a person knows how to do some things that another didn´t know and backwards. I think this is not easy at first; it is like learning a new language, because each program have their own functioning, but when you know the ba...

  One of the things that passionate me the most is watching movies because I think that it’s a way to learn a lot of new things and enjoying at the same time, also it is a way of cultural expression. It all started, when I was young and had a lot of time, I watch many movies with my family, and it was kind of a tradition. My father downloaded the movies and we reunited in his room, I remember one of the first movies we saw was It is a wonderful life and then we watch many categories. However, the reason that I like to watch movies it is more about the learning because, in my opinion, it is a way to know many new topics that perhaps in the future a person can be passionate. Also, I think the architecture and the movies have a lot of common because joins many areas like art and mathematics, for example in a movie that is about a mathematician or talks about this subject, like  “The Imitation Game ” or  “ The Theory Of Everything ”,  it Is necessary to express it throu...

Hello!, well the first week when the semester ended I went with my friends to the beach, because one of them lives there and invited us to stay 3 days there. The weather wasn´the best because it was cloudy and the sun didn´t appear, but that did not matter because we still enjoyed the sand on the beach and the fresh air. Also we ate a lot of meals, like "empanadas" and the typical seafood like reineta. At night we did a barbecue and played some music, it was really fun spent that time with my friends after the exhausting end of the semester. The rest of the days I didn´t do so much, I spent the 18th with my family, and the others days I went out with my friends from the school near to my house. And at the end of this week of "vacations" I slept a lot because I needed it, and when I woke up I watched a random movie.
