POST 3: MY FAVOURITE PIECE OF TECHNOLOGY

Hi there!!

My favorite piece of technology is my Aspire One Netbook. I bought it 2 years ago to work on my Thesis for my MA and since then, I have become very addicted to it. I am not a techie person but now I love the freedom that Wi-Fi can give you around the house. That´s why I use it all the time for many hours each day to look up information, prepare my classes, and watch or read the news. I also like it because it is light and handy and I can take it to the university or to my friends´ houses. My life would be boring without it, something like going back to the past, even though, the way we used to gather information in the past was and is still  charming to me.

Session 2 : A singer/band you like or a concert/exhibition you've been to

Hi, it is very difficult for me to choose my favorite band because I like many, but I´m going to tell you about QUEEN. This is a British rock band formed in London in 1971. It originally consisted of the legendary Freddie Mercury, Brian May, John Deacon and Roger Taylor.   The band´s earliest work was influenced by progressive rock, but afterwards their songs became more radio-friendly and incorporated innovative styles. 20 years after the death of Freddie Mercury, Queen has been crowned as the most popular UK band of all time. Among my favorite works are "Bohemian Rhapsody" because it is a master piece to me and "Love of my life" because it is beautiful, passionate and nostalgic.
You can make yourself an impression of "Love of my life" at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3xwCkhmies&feature=related. Enjoy!

My Autobiography

Hi, how are you?

My name is Paula Vergara and I was born in Santiago. Even though, I don´t like the lifestyle in Santiago, it would be difficult for me to get used to another city. When I was little, I lived in the US, in a small town called Larchmont. It is a beautiful and peaceful place where I met wonderful people and went to school until I was 8. Then I came back to Chile to study my elementary education at Andrée English School and in 7th grade onwards, at Saint George´s College. After that, as I have always liked speaking and learning English, I studied and worked as a Translator and Interpreter for many years until I decided it was a too lonely activty.  I had a lot of experience teaching English, too, so I did a Master´s in Teaching English as a Foreign Language, at UMCE. In the future, I would like to continue studying, maybe a PhD in New Zealand.  I have a son, and I adore him. I also love listening to music, mainly the 80´s, enjoy swimming, travelling, and being with friennds.
Well my dearest, I hope you enjoy the course, my aim is to make it fun and that you improve the already great English you have.

All the best,

Paula
