Movies, one is not enough! :)

When dealing about movies, it is not always easy to say which one is our favorite. There are movies for everyone, so everybody can get what she/he wants. I love going to the cinema but it is hard to say which my fave movie is. I love action and horror films but also like sci-fi films. I really enjoyed watching The Lord of the Rings saga and the Marvel saga of superheroes, such as X-men, Iron man or The avengers. I loved The Ring and I could watch it one time after the other. The last movies I watched were The Conjuring and Gravity. I also like those movies based on great best sellers such as Gone with the wind or  others. One of my favorite movies is Sarah's key based on the book of the same name. It tells the story of an American journalist's present-day investigation into the Vel' d'Hiv Roundup of Jews in German-occupied Paris in 1942. It tells the story of young girl Sarah's experiences during and after these events, illustrating the participation of the French bureaucracy while also showing how other French citizens hid and protected Sarah from Vichy France authorities. The film alternates between Sarah's life in 1942 and the journalist researching the story in 2009. It is a great movie, but as in many cases the book is always better. So, I highly reccomend everyone to watch it... Give it a try.

Cheers

My favorite technological device

Dear all, 

For this week's post, you will have to write about your favorite piece of technology... Everyone gets one, right? If I think what i like the most is my Iphone.. There are so many things I can do with it apart from talking to my family and friends. I can surf the net, download applications and the best thing of all is the iTunes where I can manage and buy music and applications. I got it more than a year ago and I can't live without it now..  Another device that I like is my Ipad. I love the touchscreen resolution and how I can manage the applications just by moving my finger on the screen.. I have become a sort of Apple-device guy...

I'm pretty sure you all like technology and you have a favorite device, so tell me about that.. what it is, when you got it, how often and why you use it for, etc..

I hope to hear from you soon..

Cheers

T&T teacher and translator

Hello everyone!
I’m not going to talk about my dream job because I already have it. If I had to choose again what to do in life, I’d choose exactly the same. I live being a translator and a teacher of English. It is always fun to learn new things and teach them to the students. When I decided to become a translator and interpreter I was not so aware that this would take me so far away…I’ve learnt so many things in this journey and I'm pretty happy to work in this. Becoming a teacher came by accident and I learnt to love what I do. Life gives you surprises sometimes and I really feel that being a teacher, it is one of them. I really love teaching and sharing with students.  And as the old saying goes “choose a job you like and you will never have to work a day in your life”… And this is true! And you, whay did you choose this career?.

First post, first words! :D

Hey there!

I am Rodrigo and I'm your teacher of English for this semester. I was born a long time ago in Los Vilos, a small town in the north of Chile. My nuclear family is not so big but I have a lot of relatives. I live in Santiago but my family lives in the north, so I try visit them as often as I can.  I have a lot of things to do, so do not have enough time to do the things I really like doing. I love painting and drawing. I really like traveling and visiting new places and I also like teaching English.

I really hope we enjoy this time together and have fun while learning the fascinating world of English language.

Cheers.
