Paintings
I like painting, it is one of the most beautiful arts humans can perform.One of my favorite paintings is this one it is called "La Condeza de Vilches" by Antonio Madrazo, a Spanish painter. It is a beautiful portrait of a very young and attractive countess, she was an important woman in the Spanish society.
It is very realistic, in dark colors for the background and light colors for the young woman. It is full of details in her face, dress and the couch she is sitting in.
Madrazo wanted to express all the beauty and youth of this woman full of life.
I like it because I think it is a great canvas.

Visit the fourth region
La Serena and the fourth region have many places to visit and enjoy, we nice beaches, a wonderful valley, and wonderful places such as restaurants, pubs, parks and so on. If you ask me, I would recommend visiting Guanaqueros and having lunch in one of the local typical restaurants.
What about you? What's your suggestion?
Jobs and trades
Lots of jobs require many skills and personal features to perform them, some of them need physical strength, others intellectual ability, communication skills among others.
What job would you like to have in the future? What skills are required in that job?
My sites
The net offers us a lot of sites to surf, if you like this you may know different sites to visit, each one offering different, attractive and interesting activities.
One of my many favorite sites is http://www.songfacts.com/, there you can find a lot of lyrics of your favorite singers and bands and the most important of all this trivia and cool information about them.

The best inventions
There's a lot of useful and attractive inventions, but just some of them are really important. For me computers, electricity, cars, scanners among others are the most important ones, they have made our lives easier, but the most important one is the wheel, without it many things couldn't have been created.
Well, how about your opinion?
Dreams, my favorite movie
I like movies a lot, so that's why I like a lot of different movies, from different times and genres. I like The lord of the rings, Star Wars, 300, What dreams may come just to name a few.
One of the movies I like the most is a Japanese movie called "Kurosawa's Dreams", it is an excellent movie that makes you think about life, the Earth, family, nature and other things. They are nine dreams, from the early childhood up to adulthod, nice to see and reflect about.
What's your favorite movie?
How can natural phenomena affect tourism?
Chile is one of the most visited countries in South America, we receive at least 290 million of tourists a year who visit the different touristic attractions our country has. But this year, we suffered one of the greatest earthquakes in the world which destroyed many of the touristic attractions we had.
Do you think Chile will be considered a good place to visit?
Do you think we can create other ways of tourism after the earthquake?

Clothing styles
Clothing is a very important topic for teenagers, they show styles, attitudes, preferences and a way of life. Many times adults do not understand teen fashion, we say it is ugly, extravagant and even strange and nonsense, but for teens it is great. Colors, items of clothes, forms and materials mix in order to show a new trend.
Can you describe any teen style?
Technology
In the last two decades technology has taken a really relevant place in our daily life, many common things are done thanks to technology; computers, cell phones, Ipods, MP3's just to name a few. Very important and delicate actions are performed using technology, and we can realize about it when there is black out and there is not power at home.
What do you think? Is it important? Does society depend a lot on technology? Is it so necessary?
Languages
Language is a tool that gives us the opportunity to communicate with other people, share our ideas and of course agree about different things, but when we talk about other kind of language it takes more importance. We can think of different languages, Italian, French or Russian, or some universal ones such as signals, morse code among others. Languages are important, they open the doors to new worlds.
If you had the chance What language would you like to learn?
Agony aunts
Agony aunts are good for some people to get different views and advices to solve a problem, it may be a family problem, relations or even work problem. When you state your problem many people give their opinions, you get a different perspective and of course a solution.
Take a loook at the following example at :http://www.bbc.co.uk/skillswise/words/reading/fact_and_opinion/worksheet.shtml
What's your advice?
Review activities 2nd Grade
My day
Routine can be tiring, boring and of course repetitive, but necessary anyway. A routine, give some sense of order to our days and help us organize our day or week.
On week days we follow the same routine everyday, but on weekend it is different, we change times and activities, and that's important to rest and relax.
What's your weekend routine? What special activities do you do?

Hello everyone
Hi, my name is Christian Castillo, I'm 36 years old and I'm from La Serena. I work in Elena Bettini School, I'm an English teacher.
My family is my wife (she's a teacher too) and my three daughters. I like many things but my favorite ones are watching movies, some good TV series, listening to music, reading, English (of course) and surfing the net. I don't like lazy people, football and eating beans.
How about you?

Best friends
Friends are a great support for everyone. They give us many things, love, support, advice, fun, good moments and a long etcetera. One of my best friends is called Fernando, we were classmates for a long time, we shared many good moments at school and the university. He is nice, talkative, very honest and frank, funny and a very good friend. He lives in Santiago now, but we keep in touch by phone and facebook. We met at school during our first day in 5th grade, that's along time ago.
Who's your best friend?
The coolest invention
There are many great inventions nowadays, but for me the coolest of then all are laptops. They are much more than a simple computer, they are great tools that perform several tasks, you can listen to music, watch movies, chat (even with video call), phone a friend, edit music and movies and a long etcetera.
I think laptops are great!!
