My activities

Today I have to write about the activities that I love to do in my free time.
The activities I enjoy the most when I have some free time are listening to music, reading a book and surfing over internet. Those activities are very important in my life because I can enjoy the life.

I always try to have the time to listening music because it is a very important activity in my life, in fact the music go with me to any place. I listen to music everyday in any place. I listen to music alone in my bedroom or on the subway. When I don’t have to read any article for the university I take the advantage to listen to music.

The second activity what I like is reading a book. I like a lot the books, specially, the realistic books. The last semester I read a Haruki Murakami’s book called “Kafka en la orilla”. It was a magical connection, because I couldn’t stop of read. I liked very much the characters and the story. The last summer I read “La razon de los amantes” written by Pablo Simonetti, a popular Chilean writer. He is a greatest writer and his stories are very fresh. When I read a book I try to do it in bedroom but if I want to read and there is noise I put my earphone to block it.

Surfing over internet is the third activity that I enjoy because I can read some bloggers or I can watch videos on youtube. I look for some concerts of my favorites artists or I watch some shows of comedy. My favorites American comedians are Sarah Silverman and Bill Maher. They are so hilarious; in fact Bill Maher has a monologue about the religion. Sometimes, I look for some documentaries or movie in youtube. If I have the time to surf on internet I visit different websites, I read the newspaper or I review my mails.

Well I have to go to the next class. So I cannot follow with this post.

Goodbye

my faculty

The current situation in my faculty is very bad, because we have many problems. We don’t have the optimum facilities to do all the things that we want.

For example, our library doesn’t have all the books that we need and it is very small. When we want to study there, we can’t get focus because there are many people talking in it. Sometimes we can’t find the articles or books that we need, so we have to go to others faculties to get them. Besides, we have to improve the behavior lab, because some students make experimental researches with animals and they don’t have the resources to do it. Also, we need a study room to work in groups if we have to make a project.

The first step to deal with this situation is the organization. We have to change our leaders because they don’t have done anything to transform this situation. After this, we must to demand more economical resources to buy better facilities.

If we have the possibility to improve the situation in our faculty, many people would be happy, because they could make many things related to the career. Besides, our faculty could be recognize as a advanced place to make researches and seminars in this area. If we achieve the resources to build a good lab we could do programs to help our community.

the music

I like music very much. Sincerely, I like different styles of music. I don’t have one favourite music style because I know various artists from different countries. In fact, I know some Asian bands.

The music represents a lot of things in my life, so it is very important in my daily life. The music is important because makes me remember different situations that I have lived or people who I have met. I love the power of the music to evocate different smells or dialogues in me. The music makes me feel in company every day, for that reason I have my I-Pod always with me. I spend a lot of time listening music, so I use many batteries and I have to buy good earphones. I think that I spend three hours a day listening music.

Music’s got an especial quality, because it helps me to change my mood. So, when I wake up with a bad mood, I listen to music and I get happy.

I know various bands from different places. Ikimonogakari (いきものがかり) is a Japanese band of pop music. They have good songs and greatest s videos; I like them because they have an interesting esthetic and it is very childhood I have to say. I f you want to listen a great song of them, here’s a link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrqKk3_KCS8

Wir sind Helden is a German band. They have good songs too. They represent the new way to make rock music in Germany. This is their song “Nur ein Wort” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVmXgOQNtNQ

Summary form the Guardian

I chose an article wrote by Paul Vaughan on Wednesday 15 August 2007. The headline is “Government extends dignity campaign to mental health patients”

The Britain’s government extends the “dignity care” campaign to the people with mental health difficulties. In fact, the care services minister Ivan Lewis commented the highly vulnerability and the discrimination who suffer this people. The English government will extend the campaign to incentive the social support to this people.

Paul Farmer, Mind's chief executive, said that this campaign can help to decrease the levels of discrimination. Besides, he explains that the people who receive a respectful and kindness treat could be getting an improvement in their mental ilness or esteem.

The campaign will be reformulated to include the old people who have mental difficulties. The extension of the campaign will focus on three key areas - tackling stigma, older people's mental health and acute inpatient care.

The announcement by Mr Lewis coincides with the recognition of the 1000th 'Dignity Champion', an event where many people claims improvements in the service that older people receive. Mr Lewis said one thousand people including volunteers, carers and professionals had signed up to the champion of the rights of older people in hospitals and nursing homes. “We genuinely need people like this to be the voice and ear of colleagues and professionals to promote dignity”, pointed out Lewis.

The first part of the campaign has a positive action with the people with mental illness and the government has the same hope in the campaign second’s part

my special dish?

Sincerely, I don’t have a favourite dish, because the food doesn’t have a big significance in my life. I just eat because without the food I wouldn’t live. “I eat to live not live to eat”

There is a special flavour that I like; the “Pastelera” is a kind of pudding made of corn. Besides, the “Pastelera” has raisins, egg and olives. I love the sweet flavor of this dish, because you can add sugar.

I have never cooked the “Pastelera” but I think that it would be very easy. I would grind the corn and then I would include the others ingredients. I‘d eat this dish to celebrate the “national holidays”. I would prepare this dish in the house of my uncles, because they live in the country
Well, I have ate this fish only in my house with my family so I don`t have greatest or importants memories enjoying the “Pastelera”. Actually, I like “Pastelera” because I don’t eat red meat. I have eaten this dish with my nuclear family and I think that they love it.

Whatever, I think that “Pastelera” is a great food because you can eat a lot and you don`t feel full at all. You can add any drink to eat this dish, If you want it. So I recommend this dish because it is very light. Come on!!! Go to the kitchen and prepare the “Pastelera”.
