Formal letter

Dear Madam,

I am writing because I was wondering if you could give me more information about the “African Safari” holiday. I am very interested in the holiday, but could you please tell me more about the safari?
Firstly, I would like more details about the prices and it would be possible for you to tell me what it includes. Also I will be grateful if you give me information about the offers that you have.
Secondly, it would be wonderful if you could tell me if the guides speak English. If they do not, could you possibly inform me what languages do they speak?
Thirdly, could you please tell me what kinds of clothes are suitable for the safari? I would like to know what exactly I have to include in my baggage.
Finally, in your advertisement it is not clear whether the security can be guaranteed. Would you give me information about what would happen in case of an accident?
I would be grateful if you could send me more details about how safe it is and if you have any offer.
I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,
Evelyn Barrera 
Music can heal people.

Throughout history music has been in our life in different ways, such as in parties, bars, movies, etc. Moreover, there are a lot of kinds of music for everyone. In addition to that, if music does not exist, it will be hard to people to express feelings and thoughts.  But, the most important fact about music is that it can heal people because it can reduce your stress levels.

On the one hand, there are people who think that music can change people just temporarily, because if young people hear a new kind of music, they will follow this new trend and their behavior will change. However, people affirm that they will give up this behavior when they grow up.

On the other hand, there is a trend followed by many people, which is to do with the medical effects of music. Music is used as a therapy to avoid stress. Furthermore, there are research that show important results of this therapy, which actually does not have any side effect.

As a conclusion, music can change people in many ways, but, if stress is taking over your life, you will have to do something about it and get down to follow this therapy. I think that if we go ahead and we use it as a therapy, we will enjoy good health and we may not suffer from stress.

My last summer


I had one of the best and more exciting summers of my life. It started the last day of university when I started looking for a job.
First, I worked as a promotor of perfums, which was a very nice job and I met very friendly people. Then I worked doing inventary in Colloky and Tricot. It wasn't a good experience at all, by the end of the work I was so tired that I didn't enjoy it at all.

Then a friend of mine and I decided to work selling things on the street. We sold "cubos" made of chocolate milk and fruit juice, also we sold clothes and finally we sold pancakes.
With all the money that I earned I traveled a few times to Valparaiso to see my boyfriend, I spent some of it to buy clothes and the rest of it was designated to backpacking to the south of Chile.

ackpacking was the best part of my summer. I meet a lot of new people and I visited many places of the south of my beautiful country.

Backpacking was the best part of my summer. I meet a lot of new people and I visited many places of the south of my beautiful country.
The most extreme day was when we wanted to visit Huilo-Huilo. The day was cloudy and cold and we had been waiting for long hours to someone who would take us to Huilo-Huilo and suddenly two young women took us in the road. They left us at the entrance of Huilo-Huilo.
We started the tour for the reserve and the views were amazing. There were a forest and a waterfall and when we were taking thousand of pictures it started a heavy rain which  let us completely wet.

We started fastly looking for a place to spend the night and dry all our clothes and we met a lovely woman who let us to stay in her home during the night almost for free. She told us stories about her life and their children talked us about the life in Neltume, which was the name of that town. We had dinner with them and the woman treated us as her children.
For this trip I visited beautiful places or our country and I met very kind people on the road and I realized that if we are perseverant we will achieve our goal.


SOUTH OF CHILE IS AWESOME :)

International Women's Day is a commercial date.

International Women's Day is a commercial date.

Women's day is just another commercial date as it is Mother's day, Father's day, etc., because there are gifts as principal character and women are the second character.

There are some people that celebrate this date doing something else than just gives to that woman some chocolates or flowers. That is to say taking breackfast to her bed, or writes a bit of poetry to her, etc. 

However, most of people just buy a luxurious gift to celebrate this date. All the holidays that I mention at the beggining, plus other holidays along the year, are just an excuse to increase people's consumerism. There are flowers to buy everywhere, even on the street you can see poeple selling products to gift to a special woman. The advertisement on TV shows us and give us ideas about how to celebrate women's day in a commercial way, showing offers and discounts.

Despite that, Women's Day as a commercial date is not a negative fact, but I think that we don't need a special date to buy a gift or to do something nice and special fot that important woman to you.
