A Chilean landmark

Today I want to tell you about the Cross of the Third Millennium, which is located in Coquimbo, in the north of the country. Specifically in the center of the peninsula where the port of Coquimbo is located.

I visited the place in February 2017 during my vacation with my family, we traveled to the north of the country, as it was a place my parents wanted to visit and it was the first time we made a long trip with my father. We decided to get to know the city so we visited popular places and of course, we got to go. 

With my family, we decided to climb to the top of the cross by the stairs, because then we could see the whole place and also because we ate a lot during that trip. My entire family is catholic, so we like to visit different churches during our vacation. This place may not be only a church nevertheless it is also a monument of the religion, this is because the shape of the monument represents the holy Trinity and I think the monument was made to celebrate the 2000th birthday of Jesus but I am not sure.

You can see it from any point in the city, I think it is because the height is almost 100 meters but it is very impressive to see. I liked visiting it because you can see the whole city and the Pacific Ocean, as the meaning of the cross is catholic I like to see different references to the religion through the building and understand what it means.

Job

Today I will talk about a job I would like to do in the future.  Since I was little I loved to play with mini furniture later in my adolescence I liked to play sims and find different ways to decorate spaces. The job I would like to do in the future is interior design because it's important to represent our personality in our spaces. Also, I like combining styles and colors in different places for different activities. I need qualities like being critical, creative, and a good planner because it is important for this job and I have to design the space and how to place the furniture efficiently. I would be good at this job because I like to see the before and after of spaces, and discover different furniture and ways to use them, and also because I like to mix colors and styles to make the perfect mix. I don't have a specific person who does this job and is my inspiration however I have enjoyed watching shows like "The Home Edit" and "Interior Design Masters"...

Test Practice

I think this activity was very helpful because I learned you have to practice a lot before a test, more is an English test because is not my first language. I didn´t really enjoy the listening part because I didn't have my headphones so I had to put my ear very close to the speaker but I still managed to do the activity. The writing part was more difficult because the grammar and vocabulary were not easy for me, the English something is very confusing.

A family member

Today I am going to talk about my grandmother, she was my father's mother and I lived with her all my life until she passed away earlier this year from stomach cancer.  She was my second mother because when I was born she was retired and helped my mother raise me. Before she retired she worked for a cleaning company for large office buildings. She always told me a story about how she hurt her thumb because she had to clean so many big windows in only one day. My grandmother was very short, she was a head shorter than me and I always joke about that because when I hugged I was able to put my chin in the top of her head.  She had short and straight hair, which was confusing for me because my dad and his brothers have very curly hair but it is because my grandpa's genes were more strong. Also, she had green eyes but nobody in my family inherited so is very funny hahaha. My relationship was great and lovely because she taught me many things that helped me during my adolescence and...
