Election Day

Last year I turned 18, and it means that I could vote in the next elections. I´m not sure if I´m going to vote, I would like to express my opinion, but I want to do this informed about the candidates, and not voting for anyone. I think that if someone wants to run for a public position, he or she has to be a person involved in social problems, and committed to solve topics like education, health, the environment, etc. The problem with the present politicians is that they only think in themselves, and earn money at the expense of the people. And while they are turning into millionaires, the common people have to live with deficient systems of education, health, justice or pensions. Although there are some politicians that  really want to help people, but I think they are a minority. I believe that many people don´t trust in politicians because in the electoral campaigns they promise a lot of things like finishing  with delinquency, free education or improve the health system, and when they are chosen, they don´t accomplish the things that they promised.

I´ve never consider to be in a political party or be nominated in a public position, in fact, I don´t like politics very much, I prefer to participate and change the country in other ways, because politics isn´t the only way to be involved in the society.  

Someone I´d like to meet

In my whole life I have seen a lot of movies, with great actors and actresses, and there are many that I would like to meet one day, due to their talent and skills on the screen. But there is an actor that I specially would like to meet, because of his talent, and had been in many famous films since he was very young, I´m talking about Leonardo Dicaprio. I think he is a really good actor, and he can perform any rol that he wants. He was born in California, and is an actor and a producer.

I remember that the first movie I saw of him was Titanic, when I was very young, but there are a lot of films that I had seen like The aviator, Catch me if you can, Django Unchained, The Great Gatsby and The revenant, this last one made him the winner of the Oscar in 2015, also he had won the Golden Globes in three times.
But in addition to this, he is an ecologist and someone so concerned about enviroment problems, for example he uses solar panels in his house and has an hybrid electric car, and also he is an activist for the homosexual rights.

If I had the chance to meet Leonardo Dicaprio, I would like to talk with him, and obviously, ask him for a picture and an autograph.

The Best Concert ever

My first and only concert in my life was the RBD concert in 2008, when I was 10  years old, I  don´t remember very much about this day, but I remember that I had a lot of fun in the concert. RBD was a Mexican band who became famous thanks to a tv serie, and many children and teenagers used to watch it. I remember that I went to the recital with my mom and my two cousins, my father took us in his car to the Estadio Nacional at about 8 pm. My mom said to the guard that we were sick, in order to be able to enter with the drinkings. In the stadium, we sat in the back, too far from the stage, but it didn´t really matter to us, because we could heard all the songs, and we sang until the concert finished. When we came out, my mom called my father, and my cousins and me bought some things like flags and posters so as to keep it like a memorabilia of this night. It was my first concert, and I hope that it won´t be the last, and I could live more experiences like that.

A country I would like to visit

                                                                   ITALY

The country that I want to visit is Italy. Why? because I really like the culture, the food, the landscapes, the constructions, the architecture and all history that they have. Italy was the cradle of the Roman civilization, and many artists throughout history, besides there are many well-known buildings, like the Roman coliseum and Tower of Pisa.

If I ever traveled to Italy, probably I would like to study there to learn the language, and the culture of the country, Also I would like to visit all the cities, and eat traditional food.                                           I'm not very interested in living there, because I have my family and friends here in Chile, but I would like to stay in Italy a few months, in order to visit all the places and people that I can. I think that Italy is a beautiful country, with an interesting culture.

                                        

Welcome

Hello,
My name is Constanza Cabrera, I live in Santiago, I´m 18 years old and I´m studying psychology.       I started learning English since I was five years old thanks to my mom, so I´m good at reading in English and I have some vocabulary, but writing and listening comprehension is difficult to me. I think I have a good pronunciation, but I would like to improve it and learn some grammar, in order to speak English fluently. These are my expectations for this class.
