the interview to Alejandro


The men, when they are young, they love going to parties or get out with their friends. In generality, the younger man loves a social life, but Alejandro doesn´t like that.
He is only 21 years old and he prefers a quiet life, he likes going to theater, because he loves this kind of culture. He enjoys with an opera concerts or ballet concerts.
He likes seeing movies, but he doesn´t like go to the cinema because he thinks in the price of the tickets and he choose stay in his house watching the film.
Also he loves reading books of histories. He always reads to writer like Cortazar, Shakespeare, and Edgar Allan Poe. He loves these kind books because he thinks is very interesting.
Also, the favorite activity of Alejandro is sleep. He is always thinking in the moment when he finally can goes to his bed for sleep to much hours.
Alejandro looks calm and relaxed. when you see him, you know that he will not like the parties or the noise, because he always is quiet.

I admire...


The truth is i don’t admire anybody on my field, but I have to do this homework so I will say, I admire Constanza Santa Maria.
She is a journalist, she studied at Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile and she graduated in 1995. She worked in the newspaper El Mercurio in the economy section, she works CNN in Spanish in EEUU like a producer and as a reporter and when she returned to Chile, she worked in a program called "pantalla abierta". On these days she works in Canal13.  She makes reports and she leads the news in canal 13, in the night. She has a master's degree in broadcast journalism; she did at the University of Columbia.
She married a lawyer from Holland, Sander van der Voorde. She has two children with him
I admire her because she is a serious and respected journalist. When happen big news in the world or in Chile, she is sent to those places.
Also, she dresses very well; she is very smart and always looks great.

My favorite book


My favorite book is Santa María de las Flores Negras. This book was written by Hernán Rivera Letelier in 2002.
This book tells a true story that occurred in Chile in 1907 in Iquique. That year came to Iquique thousands of miners demanding higher wages. They stayed in school Iquique while getting their demands.
I like this book, because is a true story of my country, also it is very well written, researched and told. I like because the writer was miner, so he write about his experience, about all he listened. Maybe the book is interesting because he talk about a situation that he knows, , that he lived.
"It is risky, put together history and fiction is like walking the edge ... but it is a challenge for an artist. I think I did ... I am proud to have rescued the history of nitrate that was forgotten." (Hernán Rivera Letelier).
This book is described by amazon:
Under the burning mid-December sun of 1907, a throng of saltpeter miners, women and children, inhabitants of the pampa salitrera set out on the long walk to Iquique their goal to demand better work and life conditions. Along the way friendships were forged, lovers were found, quarrels fought, but no one could ever have imagined what awaited them once they reached the harbor city.
