El Caleuche

I really love the south of Chile, but there is a magical and strange place: Chiloe. This place is characterized by the large number of myths and legends that circulate.

One of this is El Caleuche. This legend talks about a Galeon, I mean a big boat that sailed the seas of Chiloe.

Is manned by witches, and on dark nights lit sails and heard loud music and party. It lies in the middle of the fog. The ship never sails in the day. This music attracts sailors and shipwrecked. This people these become part of the crew of Caleuche.

According to popular belief people have drowned are picked up by this mysterious ship from the depths of the sea to be welcomed into eternal life. On the other hand, it is not as kind to those who have dared to address her gaze straight ahead.

Caleuche sailors have certain physical characteristics. They have only one leg to walk, on the other the lead folded back. On the other hand, it does not have memory. This is for prevent they say the secrets of what happens on board.

Some people say that when this boat takes people, it shows them big treasures. The boat promises give some but the people should not say anything about this meeting. So when a merchant became rich quickly is because it has hidden negotiations with the Caleuche.

Ninth Post: Interesting Animal

In this post, I will write about a very singular animal: bat. This is a very interesting animal because the bat is able to orient via echolocation, on the other hand, some bats are so dangerous because they can feeding on the human blood: the vampire bat. The bite can cause infection.

The bat is especially common in North Africa, Southwest Asia, and almost all Europe. We can also see it in Japan, Korea and Taiwan. They live in caves and big churches, abandoned places and under some trees.

 

It is a mammal that is characterized by nocturnal habits, and sleeping during the day. This is a small animal, not larger than 5 centimeters and can weigh approximately three to five kilograms. The length of their wings, stretched be achieved, notably about 25 centimeters.

They are sedentary animals, namely that unlike other animals, they do not migrate or transfer activity have much in terms of habitat. Their average life expectancy is about six years.

The teeth of the bats are so variable. According to the BBC, the morphology depends on the diet. In the world there exist different kinds of Bats: Exist Bats that eat and have a complex molar with irregular surfaces. Some authors believe that this complexity is because the textures of the fruit pulp cause erosion. Insectivores have less complex tooth surfaces. They have torn molars with very sharp edges.

On the other hand, vampire bats feeding on the blood of animals, including humans. Their food is liquid, so you will have fewer but sharper teeth.

Eight Post: My Future Summer

Hi, in this post I would to talk about my future holidays.

I will travel to the south of Chile with my friends. We plan to stay in different cities like Valdivia, Temuco, Frutillar, Calafken and Osorno. We plan to travel throw different places. We plan to go camping between natural places. I really love to travel to these places because they are very close to each other.

I would like to go to Volcan Osorno. Between clouds and local legends, El Volcan Osorno is an icon of Southern Chile. This volcano is Outstanding and a privileged panoramic view of fields, forests and lakes. His ascension is a magical experience, an encounter with nature and oneself.

On the other hand, I and my family planned to go to meet the north of our country, specifically “Bahia Inglesa”. From what we have seen in the pictures it is a great place. It has a lot of beaches.

It has white sand, gentle slope, gentle surf and warm, clear waters, the beaches of Bahia Inglesa are recognized throughout the country. Some of them are El Chuncho, La Piscina y Playa Blanca, although it can also be accessed located in the surrounding beaches, like Bahía Cisne, Los Patos, Las Machas y Ramada.

Bahia Inglesa there are also places for sports and outdoor adventures. There are several beaches to visit and in some, the wind has done a good place for sports like kitesurf, which is practiced on a small table as long as you drive a comet the waves at high speed.

Seven post: My favorite photograph

This moment the photograph was one of the most improvised experiences I have. Together with my girlfriend we wanted to know the south, so we bought an airplane ticket the place farthest south there is "Punta Arenas".  I have never flown by plane, this was a strange experience for me.

After many days getting to now Punta Arenas, we went to see the “Estrecho de Magallanes” this was due to cross in ferry,  during the trip we encountered a storm the wind was too strong, when we walked by ferry I take railings to avoid being pushed by the wind.  In addition the temperature was very low, it could not be out for long heating

At the end of this old both ended with fever for wanting to expose ourselves to this cold, but the scenery and experience, is impressive

I would go back to this place is a landscape to go on forever, I invite you to live the experience of "Punta Arenas" to describe the travel is not enough for anyone to understand this experience

Six Post: A Skill I Admire

In this post I will talk about the abilities or skill that I admire. I admire the people that can speak, write, listening and read in much different languages. This ability has been underappreciated by the general population. This is because few times we wondered how we know about human history.

The language allows us to build our environment and give them some sense. On the other hand, it allows us to interact with others through a same system of symbols and signs.

Through the history, this people can help to connect different cultures. Thanks to these people found the contribution that different cultures have made to scientific knowledge. On the other hand, we can find how the culture and the behavior of our ancestors are.

I met a person who speaks four languages. Her name was Constanza and she loves to study languages ​​because is interesting. She knew Spanish, English, French, and is now learning Hebrew. Her dream was to be part of big organizations of language like RAE. Currently, she is preparing to go to college and want to study something related to it like Linguistic Anthropology or something related to the study of dead languages. She says it's very important to express ourselves differently and find specific words.

This is a skill that requires linking various words and their meanings. On the other hand, it requires us not think in our rules about grammar and opens our minds to a new way to build our thinking.

In my case, I hate to learn new languages, but I appreciate this ability. I think it has contributed much to mankind.

Fifth Post: My deam work

In this occasion I will talk about my dream job. Actually I study odontology in my country. This major need much practice more than memory or a big source of knowledge. I really like my future job because require than I know my patient and their behavior in oral practice.
In my opinion, a great job need the contact with other peoples, and for this reason I like my future profession.

Maybe, the problem of our work is the expensive treatment. On the other hand, many people can develop normally with a poor oral health. I think our profession promotes very high standards of beauty more than a good oral health.

For this reasons, I would like to change this and carry my profession to other kind of peoples. I would like to will get a specialization in Patients with Special Needs. In our society, we have many people ignored because they can´t be expressed as social norms permit. This kind of people teach us the simply thighs in the life. I can get this specialization in other country like Spain or England, but not in Chile and it takes 3 years.

In the future, I would like to work in Teleton Institute and help these children to have a good oral health.

third post: My favorite technology

In my university, with this instrument I can record the voice of my teachers in theirs class and listen in another moment. On the other hand I can read the class material. With this I don`t need to print the material, I can protect the environment.

I`m not a lover of technology, but these tools are very useful in our daily life. One of the things I like to do is reading an interesting book about philosophy or science fiction; see a film, a series or an interesting documentary. 

 The best invention for me is the Tablet. I carry it with me everywhere , whit this I can study, fun, see all things that I like, when and where I want. When I go out of Santiago, I can drink a delicious cup of coffee and read something.

My life without my tablet will not be different, because there are many objects whit which it would replace. The technology isn`t indispensable in our society, this tools only can make easier our life, but it can`t  the place of the human mind.

SECOND POST: My best holiday

My Best Holidays

Hello everybody, in this occasion I will talk about a great experience for me.

One year ago, I went to the south of Chile for twelve days. If you go to this magic place, you will count the days to return in other opportunity.

I had never traveled there. The trip lasted 12 hours, was the most log trip in my life. Normally, the trip leas 7-8 hours, but we should had to stop frequently because my mother was pregnant, and the doctor recommended not stand sit down a long time.

I went whit my parent and some relatives and we stand in a house in “Los Lagos”, a cozy place to relax and arrive after to travel to the different places. We can visit different lakes, rivers and some towns and cities like Lake Lican Ray, Pucon, Futrono, Valdivia, Temuco, Lake Calafquen and others. Every one of these places is beautiful, and I may return to visit there.

Finally, I, my cousins and my brother make different things. Sometimes we went to some lake and talked about the life, play carioca and poker, drink some bears and smoke cigarettes.

English IV: Blog post number one "What country would I like to visit?"

In this post I will talk about a special place for my. I really love my country but I would like to go to the other sites, for example Cuba.

Cuba is an island of  North America, it is a very isolated place, but the people who live on the island allow a pleasant place. I do not know about the food in this country , but isn`t a problem  for me.

In this place we can practice much kind of sports. We can practice since trekking, climbing, kayak, until parachuting. But more importantly that highlights Cuba is its traditional dance, "The Salsa"

On the other hand, Cuba is not a developed country. The statistics say that Cuba has a high poverty rate, but also has a high rate of people who are happier. This country has many place to visit, but what I like very much is the customs and the treatment of tourists
