answering hector's letter

Dear hector, I have not answered you because I did not come to classes last wed. However, today I caught myself up with my duties.

First of all, the symbols mean the following:

Ww: wrong word

We: wrong expression

Wt: wrong tense

Sp:Spelling

C: Capital letters

P: punctuation

wo: word order

Wf: wrong form

Nn: not needed

?: not clear

Sm: something missing

Now, I hope you can understand my correction.

Telling you about me, I can say that I like English so much. Want to be an English teacher, because I believe that I can make a little change in the way how it has been teaching. I want to work in the south of Chile. I know the weather is awful but I really like the one that they have. About my hobbies, I like to practice sports. Actually, now I practice: spinning, aero box and aero-step, I practiced tae kwon do but I had to left it because of the time. I love to dance and listen to English music.

Sorry I have classes of literature, so I have to go now!

Take care!!!

Regards

Pauly

PD: I am the one with glasses!!

Oh! I think I have got a lot of favourite piece(SM) of technology, (P) few years ago when I was (SM) adolescent I was always playing with my Nintento (SP), I loved it, one time I was waiting for Christmas and when this night arrived (WE) my parents had a great gift for me, they gave me my first Nintendo, then the supernintendo came to the market. I don’t know why but when I’m thinking about Nintendo a lot of good regards spring (WE) to my mind. In the final(WE) of the nineties was release for sale the Nintendo64, I remembered that one time I was playing (WF) two days on-the-run. The N64 was incredible and it had an amazing graphics level.Years later I realized that to buy video consoles it was a stupid thing because it’s much better to buy a good personal computer, then the PC became my favourite piece of technology, I could do everything I wanted, Internet, to watch movies, to play video games and so on. Now I use my PC for college work, but when I have free time I can share information with friends or I can watch a good film with my girlfriend. That’s all for me. Well, I tried not to make mistakes…. Guud vay!!!

In my point of view (P) the best field trip was in Alto del Carmen, III region. That field trip was in last(X) years(X) 2007. That field trip was duration of (WE) one week. The subject was Geología de Campo I, in (P) (SM)Facultad de Ciencias Físicas y Matemáticas(P) and that subject (course) is included (WW) with complementary formation. I remember saw to (WW) lot of fosil(SM) (SM) the Jurasic age with waylay (?). The wayla is (SM)kind of mollusc. Also (SM) saw a lot of (SM) kind the (WW) rock with limestone, andesite, wacka and minerals (SM) as quartz, feldespt, and fragment litic. I remember what all night we have had drink the alcohol(?). The ultimate (WW) day (SM -2words-))back to Santiago, We played futbol and I (x) with some (SM) classmate(SM) had (X) swimming (WT) in the pool of camping. That day in(X) the(X) (SM) night the teacher (Brian Townley) had (SM) barbecued for all (SM) people. Also I remember had other course (Geologia Campo II). That field trip I celebrated my birthday (July 30)(?). On the other hand I remember have had (X) worked a lot of(X) in that day. We got up many (X) early (SM), more (SM) less to 7 o’clock. That day was hard, all our walked various hours for a lot of hill looking rock and stratum formation. The back in Santiago we have had make to geology map the Alto del Carmen (?)

"KES"

Billy buried kes but his mind was knitting the worst vendetta that Jud would ever imagine. Three weeks waited Billy patiently, when one night his opportunity came with Jud drunk and his mother in a short trip with one of her lovers. That night Billy, as always, helped Jud taking off the clothes. When he was ready inside the bed, Billy decided took all the money that Jud has gain in one of his latest robbers (his new way to obtain money).

Billy walked five days to south direction. He arrived to a new and interesting city in which he decided to live without his mother and brother. He was so good at this city that he never needed them again in his life. He grew and got mature alone and found the road of his life so far, of what he family used to be.

Let's play with words!!

Task 1:

The first time that I saw this Picture (P) I got scared. Actually, it has (SM) threatened (WT) me until now!! However, every time that I find this picture in anywhere, I can stop and look at it a long time. (SM) This is a very good painting that represents the anguish of somebody that is lost or has lost something valued for him/her. (SM) When you see this painting you are not strange to it, you can feel exactly the same as the character. That is the main purpose of all the paintings. And that is what the painter expects of you, through the colours and details.

Task 2:

I think that work with the students of the Universidad the Chile has been a very good way to learn from others. Moreover, it is useful for us because this is the same way that we will have to deal with students from the schools. I really enjoy this way because I pay much attention and care to check student’s blogs. By the time that I understood that they really depend in some way of my “job” I put much effort in the correction that I do every Wednesday for them. I think that the connection, which we have with the student from Universidad de Chile by blogs, is beneficial for both sides. They have somebody that helps them to improve their writing and English. And we start to practice as teachers.

Hector's blog !!

In the future I think is (X) (SM) working in Universidad de Chile( Facultad de Ciencias Sociales -Escuela de Antropología) in together (WE) with IPHES (Insitituto Catalan de Paleoecologia Humana y Evolucion Social), because I loved archaeology (P) moreover (P) soonly (SP) I will have interview with (SM) archaeology__ (SM) with (X) Donald Jackson for (WW) working (WF) and make the professional practice (SM). The IPHES is a network world (WO) (SM) the evolution and archaeology the first human settlement. They have a post degree about Quaternary Archaeology and Human Evolution. This post degree (SM) make in Spain (?). In this time I will hope to have that post degree (?). I will live in Santiago, but before I lived in Spain while I had post degree. When gradued I will travel for (WW) (SM) Chile making investigation in these item (WW). My idea in the future is studied (WF) archaeology and I will be the best archaeology in Chile. Maybe I (SM) have girlfiend, but I do not married, because I will (X) think (SM) wedding (X) after 30 years old. Maybe my the worst problem is plannig a lot of the future, but I think that is how it should be (?).

Ricardo's death trip !!

deathh tripp
When Simon told us that we had to do homework about a “trip situation” I didn’t know what I could say about it. Well, I don’t want to talk about a trip from home to get (SM) college because it’s boring and when I think about this kind of trip I get bored by (X) it (X).Now, I’m going to tell you a great (NN) story about a “great trip”. Last summer I went across/I (X) crossed (X) The Andes and (X) I (X) went (X) to Mendoza, when I got there I started to prepare my trip to Bolivia and my intention was get to La Paz. I knew there are thousands kilometres between Mendoza and La Paz, but that did not matter to me but that wasn't a big deal for me (NN) because I had fifty days to do it.Now, when I got to La Paz I spent some days there with my girlfriend, she was my “road trip partner”. So, when I wished some action, she was there to give it to me… jajaja. Then, we went to The Sun Island and when we got there we spent wonderful days. We stayed in the southern side of the island and then we went to (SM) northern side.When we were about to leave the northern side of the island, I talked with two or may be three Bolivians peasant and everyone said to me- relax my friend!! It will take you between five to six hours to cross the island!!! I believed them! So (WE), when we were on (WW) our way we saw the most beautiful landscapes we've ever seen, it was amazing!! When we were halfway we saw a Chilean friend, we’d met in the southern side of the island and we met (SM) again in the middle of nowhere!!! So (NN), in that moment he said to me- hey! Do you want something to smoke? – And I asked him… well; (P) show me what you’ve got!! I may not say what we smoked exactly, but you know what I mean.After we smoked “something”, we decided to go on with our trip, when the night was getting closer we realized that “the five to six hours” was a bullshit (Bolivian peasant declaration!!), we've been walking for about ten hours and we didn’t find any place to spend the night. When the dark fell to us, we started to become exasperated… we were lost!! So, my nice girlfriend started to shout me and she said to me that everything was my fault! She said to me "I hate you"... I tried to calm her down but I could not do it.At least, after 12 hours walking and screaming for help, we found the nearest town… I’ve gotta confess, I thought I could die...
