Explosion of bomb

Hi class, I hope you are fine, today I`m going to talk about the explosion of a bomb in our city this last Monday.
The explosion of the bomb was very unexpected and impressive to me, because in a first moment I really thought that the explosion was cause for any kind of group anarchist or something like that… and most especially for the dates, the commemoration of the 11 of September, etc.
This was my first impression. Then, I watched TV, and all show about the explosion, and my vision about that undergo a completely changed. Besides, internet was full information about that, in special the social network: Facebook. My friends and all the people had any opinion in that regard. They talked that the explosion of the bomb was all a complot by government (with help of the official means of communication), with the purpose of stray the attention of the people and stop all protest (about transantiago and metro) and also distort the student movement.
With all information about the explosion of the bomb, I think that we have to be careful with the official means of communication, because that’s the most important and powerful tool of the power in this moments. I don´t know who was the responsible in this case, but independent of that, in any moment the news can be distort and we became accomplices of the injustice of this system. 

Here is a video of a woman and her opinion about the warnings bombs, I hope that you enjoy it!

My best holidays

Today I´m going to talk about my best holidays ever.
This holiday was the last summer, and the itinerary of this holiday was very intensive, because my boyfriend and I went to Bolivia, but to get there we backpacked across north of Chile. We knew the majestic desert, it is immense and beautiful (but after a few hours, the landscape becomes very monotonous).
Once in Calama, we came across with some friends and traveled all together until Uyuni, a city in Bolivia. In this place, we organized the rest of the trip.
We traveled for a month, and my favorite place in Bolivia was Sorata, a city in Bolivia with beautiful landscapes. It is very similar to the south of Chile, because it has rivers and wonderful trees. This city is special because it made me think about the big adventure that we lived when did the road to Saint Peter Cave. The second day in this city, we woke up at 11 am, and we walked to Saint Peter Cave (it is a natural cave that inside has a fantastic lagoon and bats).
The trekking was ten hours!! At the beginning everything was all right, but when we came back, the exhaustion was TOO MUCH!! And the worst of all, the weather was terrible, rainy and cloudy, and because of that, the mountains were falling down!! I was afraid many times. 

The Road to Saint Peter was very difficult for me (because I also have asthma), but despite that, I was very happy, I saw beautiful landscapes, the saint Peter Cave was amazing. So I remember with affection the adventure.

A country I`d like to visit

Hi Class!, I hope you are fine, today I`m going to talk about a country that I would like to visit, this country is Italy. For a long time I wanted the opportunity to travel to this country.
I am very impressed about this country because it has a lot of history, especially in Rome, with its monuments and 3000 years of history, the cultural significance of this country is reflect in its world heritages sites, it has 49 world heritages sites, the largest number in the world.
In addition, I would like more information about Italy, having the experience to share their lifestyle, trying many different typical food (like pasta, pizza and risotto rice) and the most important to learn Italian all day.
Finally, I would love to participate of the Carnival of Venice, which lasts ten days. In this Carnival, people dress up imitating models of ancient paintings and covering their faces with colorful masks. The masks have become a symbol of the city and are incredibly beatiful.
