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

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

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.
