The best class

Hello
I have been in several classes in NCC but this is the best. I think is very important for us that everybody in the class are interested in learn. It permittes us really to learn. Other important aspect is that we only speak in English when we are inside the classroom, especially Latin people who are the majority.
Also I think that Elaine is a very good teacher. She is strict, not much, but it’s the only way to learn.

New York City "The city that never sleeps"

Hello

Yesterday I published two pictures from Brooklyn Bridge. Today I publish two pictures taken from Empire State by my friend Francisco Solis Carpenter. I think these pictures are very beautiful. Francisco and I went together to high school long time ago. Now he and his wife are vacation in EE.UU. The last week they visited Quebec and Montreal in Canada. Yesterday they went to Washington D.C. and returned today at night. They will come back to Chile the next weekend. I don’t have doubt that you will like these pictures. Maybe next month my wife, my son and I will go to the Empire State Building because I want take pictures from this place.
I see you tomorrow.

In these festivals people eat typical food, empanadas, anticuchos, asados, curanto, chapaleles, mote con huesillos, etc. In some places they will make a special constructions for people to dance, eat and drink.

9 11 In Chile and EE.UU.

La Moneda House's Government of Chile.

Hello

In September 11th is a date of commemoration for Chile and for USA. In September 11th, 1973 in Chile occurred a military coup. In this military coup the president Salvador Allende committed suicide and assumed Agusto Pinochet the government for about 20 years. From that day and the next months and years around 2500 people died. Some bodies are not yet found. Now Chile has a democratic government.
In September 11th, 2001 I was working in my office and I was listening news on the radio when warn about of the first airplane that crashed into the tower. Then I went another room and I watched on the TV when the second airplane crashed into the second tower. Everybody who were watched the TV couldn’t believe what was happening. We thought that this was a movie, and then we thought that this was the attack by another country. When the towers collapsed was something very terrible. All the people of my country were very sad and concerned about what had happened in the USA. When we visited the first time the World Trade Center in February 2006 we had a stranger feeling.
I hope this never happens.
