Hachiko a dog's history


Hachiko is a film directed by Lasse Hallström, it’s movie is very very sad, because A college professor (Richard Gere) takes in an abandoned dog, Hachi, and they form an unbreakable bond, because the dog always goes in search of his master after work, and then go home together. One day the teacher did not return, had suffered a cerebral hemorrhage that killed him while teaching at Imperial College, but Hachi stood there, in place, waiting. Gone are the days that turned into months, and months into years, and Hachi kept coming true and time to wait for his master, no matter if it was cold or heat, just waiting to see him again.Hachiko's devotion to his master died he felt touched those around him, who nicknamed it the faithful dog. After the professor dies while away from home, the dog keeps vigil waiting for his master for nearly a decade.
We think about that the movie is a great film, because because we found very cute dog with his owner, also We thought that the movie would have a happy ending, but it was the opposite, had a sad ending, that we personally made us mourn.


Well what more we impact on the movie loyalty had Hachi with his owner.
This movie reminded me of my dogs that I expected and were happy talk coming home. The pets are faithful do not ask for anything in return but your love will not let you because you have money or because you are old.


In life we do not know what will be the last day of our lives and nobody can tell when our light was turned off and all the memories, sorrows and happiness will be gone with us, but it is very gratifying to know that someone will remind us and we would expect as we them with hope that is the only thing that remains just wait.

What historical figure do you most identify with? Why?

I never thought, about what historical figure could be similar to me, or feel, that I could be identified with some historical figure, I am different to any historical figure, because all the people are not the same, I am different to the others, they have different ideas in comparation of me, is for that , that we have personalities differents and something inside of all us, that is unique and make us specials .
Also, I could be identified like a philosophical person of the past, but about which I have no idea who can be. But would be only for that characteristic or likeness.
Also I always am original in the form of be, and sometimes, I copy something of a person, but a positive characteristic. I couldn't be worst person now, I need be better, and stand out for do positive things, maybe someday someone will remember me for that.

Maroon 5 - Goodnight Goodnight



You left me hanging from a thread we once swung from together
I’ve lick my wounds but I can’t ever see them getting better
Something’s gotta change
Things cannot stay the same

Her hair was pressed against her face, her eyes were red with anger
Enraged by things unsaid and empty beds and bad behavior
Something’s gotta change
It must be rearranged, oh

I’m sorry, I did not mean to hurt my little girl
It's beyond me, I cannot carry the weight of the heavy world
So goodnight, goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight, hope that things work out all right, yeah
Whoa

The room was silent as we all tried so hard to remember
The way it feels to be alive
The day that he first met her
Something’s gotta change
Things cannot stay the same

You make me think of someone wonderful, but I can’t place her
I wake up every morning wishing one more time to face her
Something’s gotta change
It must be rearranged, oh

I’m sorry, I did not mean to hurt my little girl
It's beyond me, I cannot carry the weight of a heavy world
So goodnight, goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight, hope that things work out all right

So much to love
So much to learn
But I won’t be there to teach you, oh
I know I can be close
But I try my best to reach you

I’m so sorry, I did not mean to hurt my little girl
It's beyond me, I cannot carry the weight of a heavy world
So goodnight, goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight, hope that things work out all right, yeah
Whoa, oh…
Yeah

Plain White - Hey there delilah


Hey there Delilah
What's it like in New York City?
I'm a thousand miles away
But girl, tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Times Square can't shine as bright as you
I swear it's true

Hey there Delilah
Don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice, it's my disguise
I'm by your side

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me

Hey there Delilah
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me, girl
Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar
We'll have it good
We'll have the life we knew we would
My word is good

Hey there Delilah
I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I'd write it all
Even more in love with me you'd fall
We'd have it all

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me

A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
and we'll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
Delilah I can promise you
That by the time we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you're to blame

Hey there Delilah
You be good and don't you miss me
Two more years and you'll be done with school 
And I'll be making history like I do
You'll know it's all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah here's to you
This one's for you

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me.



Nirvana - Come as you are



Come as you are, as you were, as I want you to be.
As a friend, as a friend, as an old Enemy.
Take your time, hurry up, choice is yours, don't be late.
Take a rest, as a friend, as an old memory.

Memory ah, Memory ah, Memory ah.


Come doused in Mud, soaked in Bleach, as I want you to be.
As a trend, as a friend, as an old Memory ahhh.

Memory ahh, Memory ahh, Memory ahh.

Chorus:
And I swear that I don't have a gun
No, I don't have a gun
No, I don't have a gun

--Instrumental--

Memory ahh, Memory ahh, Memory ahh, Memory ahh. (Don't have a Gun.)

Chorus:
And I swear that I don't have a gun
No, I don't have a gun
No, I don't have a gun
No, I don't have a gun
No, I don't have a gun
(Memory ahh, Memory ahh)

Incubus - Love hurts



Tonight we drink to youth
And holding fast to truth
(I don't want to lose what I had as a boy.)
My heart still has a beat
But love is now a feat.
(As common as a cold day in LA.)
Sometimes when I'm alone, I wonder
Is there a spell that I am under
Keeping me from seeing the real thing?

Love hurts...
But sometimes it's a good hurt
And it feels like I'm alive.
Love sings,
When it transcends the bad things.
Have a heart and try me,
'cause without love I won't survive.

I'm fettered and abused,
I stand naked and accused
(Should I surface this one man submarine?)
I only want the truth
So tonight we drink to youth!
(I'll never lose what I had as a boy.)
Sometimes when I'm alone I wonder
Is there a spell that I am under
Keeping me from seeing the real thing?

Love hurts...
But sometimes it's a good hurt
And it feels like I'm alive.
Love sings,
When it transcends the bad things.
Have a heart and try me,
'cause without love I won't survive.

From which person have you learned most in your life? Why?

The people who have taught me about life are my parents. They have always been with me since childhood, teaching me all, as it is from eating to brush my teeth alone, but more importantly they are the ones that teach you the values of life. In general parents are a key element in the life of us, are always there to support us, help us and protect us from the things that can do damage. Simply they are the ones that make your life from there on, all that love and affection , are something important to pass later, when we want our own family , the forms can be based on that love.
Well as a conclusion, one learns all of the parents, and although we are old they are always going to be there, showing us new things, and that human beings never stop learning, no matter how old you are. I think the only way to thank them every day is telling as one how much I love them.

Is renewable energy an important topic today? Why?

Because with energy we can use all the technological objects that allow us satisfy most of our basic needs, i.e. for our feed needs we have the electrodomestic like refrigerators, microwaves, etc. for education we have computers. With energy we also can get communicate with other people through cell phones, computers, etc. In entertainment energy allow us to watch TV and get informed about the things that are happing around the world and our country. As a conclusion we can say that energy is fundamental, without it our world will became a chaos or we can have a life as we know, due that we can’t spend it in a bad way, we must use it in a right and justified way.

Coldplay - Lost



Just because I'm losing
Doesn't mean I'm lost
Doesn't mean I'll stop
Doesn't mean I would cross

Just because I'm hurting
Doesn't mean I'm hurt
Doesn't mean I didn't get
What I deserved
No better and no worse

I just got lost
Every river that I tried to cross
Every door I ever tried was locked
Ohhh and I'm...
Just waiting 'til the shine wears off

You might be a big fish
In a little pond
Doesn't mean you've won
Cause along may come
A bigger one

And you'll be lost
Every river that you tried to cross
Every gun you ever held went off
Ohhh and I'm...
Just waiting until the firing stopped
Ohhh and I'm...
Just waiting 'til the shine wears off

(piano solo)

Ohhh and I...
Just waiting 'til the shine wears off
Ohhh and I..
Just waiting 'til the shine wears off

Scorpions - Still loving you



Time, it needs time
To win back your love again.
I will be there, I will be there.

Love, only love
Can bring back your love someday.
I will be there, I will be there.

Fight, babe, I'll fight
To win back your love again.
I will be there, I will be there.

Love, only love
Can break down the walls someday.
I will be there, I will be there.

If we'd go again
All the way from the start,
I would try to change
The things that killed our love.

Your pride has build a wall, so strong
That I can't get through.
Is there really no chance
To start once again?
I'm loving you.

Try, baby try
To trust in my love again.
I will be there, I will be there.

Love, your love
Just shouldn't be thrown away.
I will be there, I will be there.

If we'd go again
All the way from the start,
I would try to change
The things that killed our love.

Your pride has build a wall, so strong
That I can't get through.
Is there really no chance
To start once again?

If we'd go again
All the way from the start,
I would try to change
The things that killed our love.

Yes I've hurt your pride, and I know
What you've been through.
You should give me a chance
This can't be the end.

I'm still loving you.
I'm still loving you,
I need your love.
I'm still loving you.
Still loving you, baby...

Chris Cornell - Scream



Take a minute to tell you right
And you can say what you want
Turn around every night
So now you're always going off
Doesn't matter what I done
Or if I even crossed the line
Is that the hollar going for blood
Girl, it doesn't have to be a fight

Throwing out the blame when you know it ain't my fault
Messing with my brain when you want to see me fall
There may come a time when I don't bother you at all
It isn't my call, it isn't my call

Hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?
I say hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?
I say hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?
I say hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?

[There's no need to scream, baby
I'm standing right in front of your face
Why?
I know sometimes we don't get along
So Chris sing the second verse to you
Like this]

Take a minute to tell you now
Don't have to raise my tone
Take the level and bring it down
I just want you to know
I got no trouble with what you said
I don't even think you're wrong
It's how you say it
You lose your head
Girl I'm standing right in front of you

Throwing out the blame when you know it ain't my fault
Messing with my brain when you want to see me fall
There may come a time when I don't bother you at all
It isn't my call, it isn't my call

Hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?
I say hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?
I say hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?
I say hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?

Silence is golden
I used to think that silence was golden

Hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?
I say hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?
I say hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?
I say hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?

Silence is golden
I used to think that silence was golden

Why is Alberto Hurtado so important in Chile?

Because, he was popularly recognized for be the founder of the "El Hogar de Cristo" on 1944.
He was appointed diocesan director of the Catholic Action youth movement and the very next year, its national director (1941–1944). That same year, in 1941, Hurtado's sociology -oriented mind led to his authoring of the book Is Chile a Catholic country? Revealing a few shocking realities as it was, the book raised a storm among conservative Catholics in Chile, who even accused him of being a Communist.
In 1947, Hurtado entered the labor movement, shepherding Chilean workers. Inspired by the social teaching of the Church he founded the Chilean Trade Union Association, meant to train leaders and instill Christian values in the labor unions of his country. For them he wrote the three books Social Humanism (1947), The Christian Social Order (1947) and Trade Unions (1950).
I think he is a person who give all for help the people.

What do you think about extreme sports?

I think they are very fun but you need to have courage to do some of them. It is also important to do a medical check before, in order to know if your health is compatible with the sport. There are several extreme sports and seems that every day people in the world are trying to innovate these sports. And example of it could be the Sand-board in San Pedro de Atacama. Some extreme sports are well known , i.e: Skydiving, Paraglading, Snowboard, Motocross, Surf among many others. Some sports have special seasons to do them, for example Ski or Snowboarding are winter sports. Those sports are considered "extremes" because a fail or bad maneuver could end with a broken bone, or any kind of serious injure for the one that is practicing it, that's why you should take care of your self and of the regulations that each sport require.

Do you like piercings? Why?

Mmm, I don’t like the pircings, because I don’t consider looks good in the body.
That the less I like are of the tongue, for me, those are the ugliest, because I am afraid at the time of eat, since, they can get out and you can swallow. The pircings that are put on the navel I like those just a little, but if I wanted to get one, would be in the ear to not attract much attention.
And in the case that became infected didn't hurt me much. Also my parents would disagree with me , to that decision. I have many friends who have piercing, in men are the most common in the ear and women in the navel, but when infected those are horrible and they tell me that it hurts a lot.

Fixing mistakes

IF I HAD SUPERPOWERS, I WOULD... :O (Mariana Sierra)

If I had superpowers probably would make many things which we can't do. For example: Stop time sleeping in class, because if I sleep without stopping time, I am committing an infringement to the rules of the school.
To see if I are lying, or if my boyfriend really loves me (lol), I would like to read the minds of the people.
To not getting late to somewhere, or if I don’t take bus or subway, I would love to fly faster.
There are times when that one is doing many things, for those times I'd like to run very fast to do those tasks.

International English tests

IELTS

Description:

IELTS, the International English Language Testing System, is designed to assess the language ability of candidates who need to study or work where English is used as the language of communication. IELTS is required for entry to university in the UK and other countries.

IELTS is recognised by universities and employers in many countries, including Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, the UK and the USA. It is also recognised by professional bodies, immigration authorities and other government agencies.
More than 700,000 people a year take the test.

Framework:

  1. Listening - 4 sections, 40 questions, 30 minutes

  3. Reading - different for Academic or General Training - 3 sections, 40 questions, 60 minutes
  4. Writing- different for Academic or General Training - 2 pieces of writing, 60 minutes

Score
Out of 9 for each section and an overall score out of 9.

Level
Multi-level. You get a score between 1 and 9. Half scores such as 6.5 are possible. Universities often demand an IELTS score of 6 or 7. They may also demand a minimum score in each of the 4 sections. IELTS scores compare with TOEFL and the Cambridge exams approximately as follows:




THE CAMBRIDGE PROFICIENCY EXAM

Description:

Do this test if you really love English. If you pass this test your English is good enough for you to teach English to others. Your English will be good enough to study at any British university. Over 45,000 people in more than 80 countries take the CPE exam each year.

Framework:

The test has five sections:

  1. Reading - 60 minutes
  2. Composition - 2 tasks, 2 hours
  3. Use of English - 90 minutes
  4. Listening - 3 or 4 recordings, 40 minutes
  5. Interview - normally with another candidate, 15 minutes

Score
A, B, C (pass), D, E or U (fail)

Level
C2. Super advanced.



ECCE

Description:

The Examination for the Certificate of Competency in English (ECCE) is a high-intermediate-level (B2) general EFL exam. The language used in the test is American-English.
The ECCE emphasizes communicative use of English rather than a formalistic knowledge of English, and it is aimed at students who are able to function and perform communicative transactions in all four skill areas of the language (speaking, listening, reading, writing). The language tested is 'general', rather than 'academic'.

Framework:

The test takes 3 hours and has these sections:

  1. Listening - 2 sections, 50 questions
  2. Grammar - 50 questions
  3. Vocabulary - 35 questions
  4. Reading - 3 sections, 30 questions
  5. Writing - 1 task
  6. Speaking - interview with examiner

Score:
The ECCE is scored using a method called aggregate scoring. Aggregate scoring allows students who are weak in one area to compensate by being strong in another area. This means you can fail one of the four sections (Speaking, Listening, Grammar-Vocabulary-Reading, Writing) and still pass the ECCE exam if your scores on other sections are significantly higher than the minimum pass level.


ALTE

ALTE mean: The Association of Language Testers in Europe

Levels:

ALTE Level 5 – Upper advanced level

ALTE Level 4 – Lower advanced level

ALTE Level 3 – Upper-intermediate level

ALTE Level 2 – Intermediate level

ALTE Level 1 – Elementary level

We are in the level 2 (Intermediate level)

We think that the best international test is Cambridge Proficiency exam, because have more time in reading (60 minutes), have interview test and use the letters for the calification.

As of 2009, its weekday circulation of 377,500 was the 11th-highest in the United States, and the highest among suburban newspapers.The newspaper's headquarters are in Melville, New York, in Suffolk county.

The Washington Post is Washington, D.C.'s largest newspaper and its oldest, founded in 1877. Located in the capital of the United States, The Post has a particular emphasis on national politics. D.C., Maryland, and Virginia editions are printed for daily circulation.
The newspaper is written as a broadsheet, with photographs printed both in color and black and white.

The New York Times is an American daily newspaper founded and continuously published in New York City since 1851. Although it remains both the largest local metropolitan newspaper in the United States as well as third largest overall behind The Wall Street Journal and USA Today, the weekday circulation of the paper has nonetheless fallen precipitously in recent years to fewer than one million copies daily for the first time since the 1980s.
