Task Correction 2

Yesterday, in Reñaca something incredible happened, I found one million of Chilean pesos! I was in the Subway with my mom and when I looked under the table, I  saw the money and I shouted: I found 1 million pesos! All of the people were surprised and all of  them congratulated me.In that moment, My mom asked me: "What are you going to do withe the money?" And I answered: "I really don't know what to do with this money".

I am not  very sure of what I am going to do with this money. I was thinking of buying an Iphone, a computer, an Xbox 360, etc. or I can keep all the money. The thing is that I found a lot of money and I can do whatever I want with all that money

Task Correction 1

The Estict Rules of Allsop Academy

Allsop Academy is a school that, lastly, has changed some of their rules. It passed from being one of the least estrict from being one of the most . This is because of the arrival of the new headteacher, Michael Wilson, who invented a lot of rules.This are some of the rules that invented the headteacther: The students have to stand in lines to wait for the teacher. Teachers send them home if they wear wrong shoes, if their hair is too long or too short and the teachers send them home if they use a cellphone in classes. In the lunch time, they cannot go to fast food shops and if they don't do their homework they have to stay on after school.

After of this changed, the behavior was awful, but now, the students behave excellent. In my opinion, the new rules are good because in that way the students behave excellent and with the old rules, the students behave awful

Trinity Project. Section 3. Task 5

My Trip to Italy

In the month of July, I went to some parts of the beautiful country of Italy. I started in the capital Rome. It is a city with a big variety of monuments, such as, “Il Colosseum”, “Il  Pantheon”, etc. Then, I went to a city characterized by the art, like “Il David”, the most important. Then I went to the city that I liked the most Venecia, that instead of streets, have canals. Finally, I finish in Genova, a city that, in my opinion, is not beautiful, but it has beaches, that are good. In Genova, I went to my uncle’s house and I saw him for first time. Italy, is a wonderful country and I want to go again.

Trinity Project. Section 3. Task 3

The Surprise Party

The last Saturday, I, with help of my other friends, did the best surprise party ever. The secret party, was for my friend Francis, with the proposal of say him goodbye , because he will go to Las Vegas in September 5, because his father is working there and he will not return to Chile. The party was in my house, to make him come without his knowledge about the party, we said him to come to study with us. When we entered to my house, all shouted “Surprise!” I think, he never guessed about the party because of his face of surprise. The party was awesome, we eat ,we dance, we talk, etc.  Unfortunately, Francis has to go to Las Vegas.

Trinity Project. Section 2. Task 5

The Bad Referees

The other day, I watched an amazing soccer match: Borussia Dormunt vs Bayer Munich. The score was 4 for Borussia and 4 for Bayer Munich. But, when they where in the minute 90', foul in the area! and the referee didn't awarded the penalty! In my opinion, this is unacceptable. That penalty could change the match. I think that the organizers, that in this case are from "The Champions" should change the referees to better referees. Apart from that mistake, they didn't award 2 other penalties that, in my opinion, wear clear too and they annul 2 goals because of offside and they weren't too! The referees today are awful.

Trinity Project. Section 2. Task 4

 How to Plan the Perfect Party


The last morning I was thinking to do a party, the best party ever. In my opinion, the perfect party should have good music, with a DJ and good dupstep. Another thing that should have is good food, such as French fries, potatoes chips, nachos with cheese, etc. and should have good sodas like Coca Cola, Fanta, Sprite, etc. I think that we should start to invite a great amount of people the earlier possible. I think that some parties are not very successful because the organizers don’t take the time to organize well all the minimum details. Personally, I prefer the parties with a lot of people because I think you can share more with the people.

Tobacco Task 2


Thieves in Calama assault a van with 600.000 pesos in cigars of Tobacco

In the second region of Chile, a thieves assault a van with 600.000 pesos in cigars and two cars also.
In Chile, the problem with the Tobacco is every time worst. In June 5, thieves with a gun assaulted a van with 600.000 pesos in Tobacco. The van was recovered about 1 hour after, but empty. The thieves used 2 cars more to transport the cigars.

 That  occurred at 8:30 A.M in the road to Calama. The thieves surrounded the van with 2 cars (that were stolen also), and they forced the driver, with a gun in their hands, to get out of the van. After, the thieves entered to the van and they escaped with the van and the cigars.

The driver told this to the police. Initially, they couldn’t  find them, because the thieves turned off the GPS, but finally, they found the van in a Street. The van’s door and windows were broken and it was until now empty. The police are trying to find the thieves with their fingerprints, but they cannot find any until now. They are trying to find the owners of the 2 cars that were stolen by the thieves also.


A coincidence is, that 2 days before, were stolen 520.000 packs of cigars, but in this case, the police found the cigars and the criminals.

Tobacco Task 1

Tobacco In The School
Today, the Tobacco is one of the most important problems in the schools. It’s a problem that the schools have to resolve quickly.

The Tobacco is very big a problem in the Schools. An occasional smoking can finish in a serious addiction. In 2012, we could find that the 4.9 percent of the eight graders, the 10.8 percent of the tenth graders and the 17.1 percent of the twelfth graders had smoked. This is a big problem that the Schools have to resolve quickly. If this continues, 6.3 millions of kids under 18 years will die because of this. The kids will have serious diseases and they will be addicted to the Tobacco. The Tobacco is used in the adolescent like a gateway to the illegal drug use like Marijuana, Cocaine, Heroin, etc.

The Schools have a very important role of reducing Tobacco in the students. The Schools have many ways to reduce it: they have to forbid the Tobacco use by the students at the School, putting staff envigilatin that in all the areas of the School; They have to forbid teachers smoking in the Schools, because when they see people smoking Tobacco, they think that it is good, so they do it ; They have to do good events and programs about the bad of Tobacco to let them know that  Tobacco is bad; They have to  teach them about Tobacco because that helps them to get informed about the Tobacco and the consequences of it; They have to provide programs to the teachers, because when the teachers know about the Tobacco prevention, they are prepared to teach the students about it; They have to teach the parents and the families about it because they have a big influence in the students, so they have to teach them to no consume Tobacco; They have to offer projects about the consequences of Tobacco, because they learn about the Tobacco and that influence in the consume; When a student starts to consume Tobacco, they have to help him to quit  Tobacco because when someone tries the Tobacco and he likes it, it’s very difficult to quit Tobacco, independent if you want to quit ;  They have to adopt a firm policy of not accepting anything from any Tobacco company, like book covers or things like that because if they accept that, the students would think that the School is like in accordance with a Tobacco foundation, so they think that the Tobacco is good
