My favorite Piece of Technology

My favorite piece of technology is my telephone; It was a present of my parents for Christmas they hide my iPhone in a whisky box, at the beginning It was a weird present but when I opened  and saw my telephone It impressed me a lot
I use it for download apps; talk with my friends on Facebook, Facebook messenger, twitter, whatsapp, line, etc. I do facetime video calls with my dad when he travels, I check my emails and university stuff like U-cursos, when I drive I use my telephone with “waze” app it’s a social gps, I surf on the web and read the news but with my iPhone I don’t listen to music because I have an iPod to do that and I don’t play games because I have an Xbox to spend a lot of hours playing.
I think we can’t count the hours that we use the telephone It’s not like the computer or watch television in that case you have to sit and focus on the TV or pc. I use my telephone for a few minutes many times. I always will prefer an interesting conversation with a person.
I like my telephone because I can do a lot of things with the same thing, is very light and you can personalize with stickers or accessories. When I need a bigger screen I can use the iPad or Pc.
On vacation my dad likes to travel to the south of Chile in places where there isn’t mobile internet, Wi-Fi or sometimes  electricity , so I have to turn off my telephone and enjoy the nature and that’s great because I don’t miss to be online I think I can survive without technology in general.

 If your love your pet you will understand this, dog can communicate with other dogs and with humans too. It’s not an important conversation but they hear your volume and cadence and I think that is true when you are angry with your dog it  stay calm and maybe sad, when you are happy and talk with your dog “nice” it is happy and move his tail. 


 Act 03.- Select 3 TV shows that attract your attention. In one or two lines for each show, tell me why you would like to watch it.

  

*dogs 101: it's very funny and talk about dogs and it's very short, sometimes they talk a lot of a breed and that's boring 

*animal cops: I love this tv show  beacuase it show how in EEUU they take care about animals. I wish that laws exist in Chile. 

*my cat from hell:  I disagree with people who can't control his animals, in this case cats, but it's a good show.

What’s my opinion about…

What’s my opinion about…?
1)    … legalizing marijuana?  I don’t have problems whit people who smoke marijuana, in my opinion is the same than cigars or drinking alcohol the problem appears when the people can’t stop smoking or drinking drugs in general. Cigars and alcohol are bad for people so legalize marijuana add another drug in the list of legal narcotics. 

2)    … Women in the military? Women and men can do the same thinks so I agree they can participate in military thinks, military for men is obligatory for women It has to be too .
 

3)    …the Chilean tradition called “mechoneo”?  I think mechoneo it’s a very old tradition of the old universities. It’s dangerous and humiliating.
 

4)    … Violence on television? I agree with violence on television because I know that is for keep people entertained in an adult schedule.
 

5)    … “Barras bravas”? I think people need something , I don’t know why or what,  but they find in “barras Bravas” maybe as a family or for keep their mind far away from job or stress in general. In my opinion everybody needs a distraction but people who dedicate his entire life to the “barra brava” need help. 

Hi! Today I have to write about my favorite band, so I’m going to write about Coldplay it’s a band of 4 men. The “face” of the band is Chris Martin (face of the band because he always is the principal of the videos). They play alternative music but the teacher said “they play Britpop”, (okay, okay I like Britpop). Coldplay has a kind of music that I love .it’s very calm and you can hear drums and a piano, when I fell stress I hear coldplay.
It’s my favorite band, so it’s very hard to choose my favorite song. Everybody loves “yellow” and everybody hear “clocks” (in movies or radio) My favorite song is Charlie brown of Mylo Xyloto, the last album.I love “Talk” too I hear that song when my brother get sick.  Did you know coldplay get inspired of Muse? That’s great!
