My favorite vacation place

I think my favorite vacation place is a village called "los Molles", located in the north of fifth region. It is a fishing village, known by its quietness and nature. There is a natural heritage called "El Puquén", with native flora and fauna. That is the place I like the most.

In Los Molles, I stayed at a camping site called "El Chivato", which was a very comfortable place, more than I thought. The camping was very close to the beach, so we could go to the center walking by the beach.

This village is very modest, because it is a residential, not turistical place. But, I think that the people who live there, could improve the ways to invite people to visit there, because of the natural heritage, which is not very well-known. Also, there are many cabins and places to stay, but there isn't any hospital or drugstore.

The big earthquake

My experience that night was a little strange, because I was in a party at a friend's house, with my friends and my boyfriend. We were on a second floor. Just when the earthquake began, we stood at the front door, and waited for the earthquake to stop. We were very frightened, but every one kept calm. Then, we went downstairs, and stayed at the parking place. In that moment, we sarted to help people to get off their apartments, and turned on the radio, to get some information. A few minutes later, my dad came, and we went to my grandmother's house. That nigth, I almost didn't sleep.

The next day, we tried to call our family, but the cellphones didn't work in about four days. also, the shops were full of people who took anything they found.

The following days, I took some clothes and shoes to the University federation, for the people who had lost their houses and stuffs. Also, I worked in a recolection site receiving food, clothes and everything useful to people in the south. After all this disaster, I think that our country hasn't good comunication sistems, like alternative roads, or something like that. I think it's because of the centralization: we don't worry about the far places, only about Santiago and places around.

The positive side, I think it is that people who lost their relatives and houses, were very brave to stand up, and keep going with their lives, although they need a lot of help.

Now, we have to continue helping, by different ways, for example going to turistic places, to help people have their jobs and can go back to normal again.

Hello, my name is Carolina Hurtado, and I'm in second year of Psichologist, I'm 19 years old, and live in La Florida, Santiago.

I like very much my degree, although it is more scientific that I thought. The subjects are very interesting, and I like to see many points of view about human being, his development and behavior. Personally, I'm interested in Social area in Psicologhist, althougth I have a lot to learn.

I like this University, specially this Faculty, because ther are many diferent people, and always is something interesting too see, discuss, learn, etc. One thing I don't like of this University, is the lack of organization regarding secretariat and information.

Regards this English Course, I hope to learn a lot, because I think that is very important to learn other languaje, for, example, to read Scientific test and have actually information.
