In general, Chile is a country quite visited and with many tourist attractions for possessing a variety of landscapes, who feel much interest in visiting our capital, in fact, it isn’t unusual to see tourists walking in many parts of Santiago, therefore is important like native people propose important places we know well (or maybe not , because even having lived here all our lives there are many typical and very nice places we don’t know, which should shame us) for a foreigner knows where to go and doesn’t live the city without knowing it.
The first thing that a foreigner must do, is to get a map of the city, after that they must find a good place to stay, after that he must thing and planning an itinerary of visit inside the city.
Taking into account that the order could be any the top five plcaes like suggestions are are:
1.- San Cristobal Hill: Is the main visit place because there are beautiful views of the city and many other attractions to enjoy for hours, also, in the top stays an imponent statue of the virgin Mary, which can be saw from almost anywhere of the city.
2.- O'Higgins Park: Is a very big park where you can walk by hours in a very nice ambient. The “Pueblito” is a very popular place inside to the park. If you are hungry, you can find typical food of all types and flavors and if you like amusement parks, you can also enjoy one called “Fantasilandia”.
3.- Museum of Contemporary Art: Is a great museum located in the middle of the Forestal Park, where you can see exhibitions of all kinds and various cultural activities that frmae our society.
4.- Central Market: Is a very popular place with a great variety of seafood. Is a good place to rest a while and eat exotic and typical food.
5.- La Chascona: And don’t forget to visit one of three Pablo Neruda's houses, where there are very important things about of his life.
This was a short list of places that I think are the most important, but there are many others that are worth a visit and show part of our culture.

My experience with the English at the University.
English learning for the most of chilean people is a complex issue, bacause in most schools is not well disseminated by teachers an this was my case, the fact of not having a good basis I’ve played against since I left school, that’s why today despite not knowing much English as I would, I am equally proud of what I know and have get in university, because we can say that almost start from zero and therefore I know that I will get a better level of the Anglo-Saxon language.
I relly started learning at another institution I was before studying veterinary medicine and that was very hard because I already named little knowledge about the language, but I think that gave me some basis, however the place where it really understands things was the “Chilean-North American Institute of Culture” where I completed a very productive semester.
When I started my studies at this university in which I thought would never see more than the English, let us rest a half before learning of the sad reality, would have to take the compulsory course.
Despite my traumatizing past experiences, was not so here, the methods used were very educational and as I had some basis was not so difficult the thing what I thought would be terrible for me, was for this reason I decided to continue with the non-compulsory English courses, because I think it is a necessary tool for this career.
Compared with previous courses, I must admit the latter to be more difficult, focus on things much more specific and correct many flaws that bring including grammatically and phonetically.
With reference to above, I dare say that my experience at this university with English was good (and I hope it continues) and that was the proper wisdom to put it as fact required course, because it is too necessary for us as it is a good way to correct our shortcomings and supplement this.
Way of marking propose to include as many hours devoted to this subject (which can be divided into one hour a day, not necessarily putting everything together) in order to encourage and facilitate further learning of this language that is so important and we will continue for the rest of our job performance.

My favorite animal is.....
Although as a future Veterinary must attend different types of animals without giving preference, always have had my favorite: the cats.
The cat is a domstic feline that exist since many time ago, was spoken in the time of Egyptians about them, even being adored by them for thier ability to get rid of pests such as rodents. This animal is characterized by its small size, generally covered with hair all over its body, has an excellent sense of smell, hearing and vision splendid, even more fantastic when used in a night. Is a strictly carnivorous animal, innate hunter and one of its main virtues is its ability to stand down in almost all situations (there are always exceptions), because it has a system so allows reflection.
The domestics cats or scientifically known as Felis catus are nocturnal, therefore sleep in the day (they need to sleep at least 18 hours), when living in groups have hierarchical structures, but usually they live along. In the number of pups per litter, fluctuating from 4 to 8, may be from different fathers per litter. With respect to longevity, they usually don’t exceed the average 10 years, but well cared have been known cases where they may live to 25 years old.
Usually suffer from diseases related to respiratory tract such as colds, rhinitis or sinusitis and can be victims of both external and internal parasites, wich can cause serious complications and even if they will be found immunosuppressed or taking some other frame can become death, implying a risk for the owner if there is.
To conclude we can say that in general cats are very territorial animals so their owners are also part of his dominions, being very affectionate and playful individuals with wich you can buy bonds, it is worth keeping as pets.

The positive and negative things to be Chilean
To be Chilean is a important part of me, I think that be it has a lot of good things as the country itself has very positive aspects and for that exists many things for feel us proud, but not everything is good, there is always negative factors of wich we should feel ashamed.
Within our main features it is to be solidarity, this based on consistent facts and knowing like for exemple the “Teletón”; we are the unic country within South America that have this institution that help to a lot of people and that uses the solidarity of all chileans. Other important positive feature of chilean people is to be persevering, because we always try to get what we want and we don’t give up esaily and for that we have got to be where we are and be well regarded internationally. But clearly not all can be good, exist negative aspects too in our personality as a nation and one of this is to be very depressive, and although it is not a characteristic we all share, it is common given the pace of life that has lately (especially in urban areas) has increased and it is difficult to find people who don’t go to any professional of the branch of psichology for solve certain aspects of their lives with those who feel anxious or unhappy. Other negative aspect is the ability we have to leave “everything” to lst minute (characterisitic that I share in all its extension), no matter what it is or how many time we have to do it, we “always” leave everything for when we don’t have time to do it.
Among the things that we should feel proud or ashamed to be aur ability that to fix the things like conutry without the need to enter in war, however, this fact is overshadowed by a truly shameful called “crime” either inside or outside the country, fact that unfortunately is growing and we as a country dirty.
In clonclusion we can say that we have a lot of positives aspects but for many good things that we have, always will highkight the negative ones that are we must minimize to grow.
