Harrison's Flowers, Review of Film - Homework 4 (Humberto)

When a journalist is missing in the Balkans war, his wife begins a journey through Yugoslavia looking for news about the love of her life. She is helped by other journalist and they travel across the ruined country. This film shows with extreme realism the horrendous acts of the soldiers against civil population. However we can see another point of view, the power of hopeful.  This war at the beginning didn’t have the enough attention and the media hided the real catastrophe. 

My Day - Homework 3 (Humberto)

I wake up at 6:45 a.m., I get up and take a shower. After that I prepare my breakfast and read the newspaper. At 8:00 o’clock I get out of my house.

I arrive to my office at 9:00 a.m. I turn on my personal computer and prepare my first “mate” of the day and I check my emails with the instructions for my work day.

At night I listen to music or watch a movie and I turn off the light. I go to sleep at about 12:00 and 12:30 hrs.

Describe the place where you live (homework#5 by Omar).

I live in a flat in the city centre. It's a small place with only one bedroom, one bathroom and it has one room for a livingroom and a kitchen. It's a safety and quiet place. The neigbourhood has a mixture of classic houses and modern buildings.

There is a square to the South, the subway to the North and there is a lot of kinds of shops like supermarkets, chemists, butcher's, stationer's, etc.. All is near. It's a very comfortable place for me.    

My House (Bernardo's Homework 4)

I live in San Miguel my neighborhood is very quiet. I live in a house with only one floor and doesn’t have any front garden. I have two dogs and done cat, my house is small and it doesn’t have enough rooms. I have an interior apartment for guests and one interior garden with frutal trees.

Homework 5

My house

I live near the National Stadium.

I live in a residential area and I don´t like having other people living nearby, because they are very noisy. I live in a terraced house, it has four bedrooms, one bathroom and a small kichen.

I think the inside of my house is pretty  but at the outside it is not because it doesn`t have any garden or trees. 

Homework 3

Biology and me

Four years ago, when I decided to study Biology I didn’t really know what I would do in the future. I only knew than I loved nature and I wanted to save the world. My second and third years were easier than my first year where I didn’t know anything yet. I was in my third year when I discovered my passion, the Ecology, which studies nature, its relationship and its rules. As far as I know I have taken all the courses that I have been able to.

Although my fourth year has been very difficult, I will not give up…

I hope so!

movie

This week I saw the Robin Hood film, whose story is known by everybody; it is about a person
who robbed the rich and gave it to the poor, but this story is about the younger Robin. They
liked stealing. The movie was entertaining, with lots of action, but the story of Robin Hood’s life
is somewhat different from what we all know. Robin Hood was not his real name and it tells how
he adopted that name. I recommend this interesting and entertaining film.

Review of “Face Off (Omar - homework #4 second part)”.

The film was made in the 90s and it is starring by John Travolta and Nicolas Cage. It is about an agent of the FBI named Sean Archer (Travolta) and an international criminal named Castor Troy (Cage). Sean takes on the physical appearance of Castor with the objective of stopping a terrorist plan. Now, one of the crimes of Castor was killed Sean’s son. In a raid, Castor is captured by Sean; however, there is a bomb into a building at the city center of Los Angeles installed by Castor. Through a modern process of surgery, doctors take away Castor’s face and Archer’s face; then they put the Castor’s face on Archer’s body, while they keep the face of Castor into a proper recipient. After that, the new Castor (Archer) goes to Alcatraz and, pretending to be jailed, speaks to Castor’s brother and gets vital information about the location of the bomb. Meanwhile, Castor recovers his conscience and captures the doctors and forces them to make him a new surgery to install the Archer’s face on his body. The new Archer kills all the doctors and erases all kind of evidence. After this, it stats a struggle between them: Archer tries to recover his identity and Castor feels comfortable with a new life as an agent, because he’s able to make his dirty business without the persecution of the  police.

A typical day (Omar - homework #4 first part).

I have to wake up at 4.30 because my workday starts at 6.00 and finishes at 15.00. I take a shower, get dressed and have breakfast. After that, I walk to Santa Lucia Station and I get into the subway until La Moneda Station. I work at Metro Corporate Building. My principal activities are to give technical support to the regulators of traffic in the subway and to communicate to my section the most important events and incidents. When I go out of my work I have lunch in my flat and then I have two options: to do my homework or to sleep: it depends on how tired am I. Around 18.15 I go to my English class in IPCB. I love it! I’m able to practice my English with nice people who search the same objective than I. At night, I arrive to my flat and I have dinner with my girlfriend and we talk about our activities of the day. Finally, between 11.00 or 11.30 I get my deserved rest.

My Favorite Film (Bernardo's Homework 4 part 2)

I like the Godfather’s movie, that movie is one of best movies in the history of the cinema. In this movie one of the principal characters is Al Pacino; he gives life to ‘Michael Corlone’, the youngest child of one of most respected bosses of the mafia in the United States. This movie tells the story of the Dirty Business of the mafia in United States and how the Italo American people manage the American people in different positions like police officers, politics, etc. in order to make his dreams of power and money come true.

My Tipical Day (Bernardo's Homework 4 part 1)
