My experience

In this semester I learned a lot of things and it's make me very sad to think that this experience it's about to end. I'm very happy to have cursed this subject, I met new classmates and they are very funny, they write a lot of amezing things in their post at thei blogs, like Clau's blog (Patriotic pig).

I don't really like English at all, I trully bealive that it is an stupid and primitive language without any verb conjugation and a lot of auxiliar words. Anyway I understand that handle this language is a usefull tool for the devolpment of my discipline, specially in the reading of cientific papers of evolution and archaeology, even social anthropology. It would be very helpful if this fourth English class could work in the translation of papers like those mentioned areas.

The use of the Blog as an English learning method is a good initial tool to start to get used with the writing excercise and the video recording in the other hand is helpfull to practice the english speaking and pronunciation.

In this career and in my life I don´t have many oportunities to test my English but I would like to improve at a decent level in which I could be able to understand series and movies without any subtitle on them, specially sitcom series like "two and a half men", "the big bang theory" or "how I met your mother", beacause they have many jokes and funny situations that are even more hilarious in the original language.

Sadly I think that I still need to improve my English in a lot of aspects, including vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation and listening. But I think I have already reach a good stage in the English language that will let me improve in all the areas.

New discovery in Stonehenge

New studies about a recent dig in Stonehenge have concluded new information about bluestones and their importance in the old civilizations of United Kingdom.

Charred wood and little stones chips have been found in the first excavation in Stonehenge, this place is one of the world's most famous prehistoric monuments. Professors Tim Darvill and Geoffrey Wainwright think these bluestones were used by the human in the past for to cure, because these people belief this stone had healing powers.

Using this stones the investigators believe they can learn more about the prehistory of England and Stonehenge specifically.

The charcoal fragments have been dated between 7000 years BC and the medieval times, but this place has been visited always. The stone were brought 150 miles from south Wales. This information is very important, because it means that these people made a big effort for to have the bluestones in Stonehenge. So, the investigator’s theory is the human did this effort because they believed these stones had healing powers.  

The bluestones are broken, because it’s have been repeatedly moved and rearranged, so the archaeological register is altered.

This new theory is very important for the news studies in archaeology in Britain, and explains the presence of bluestones in the most important archaeological site in U. K.

I have chosen this new, because I like this topic, since I was a child I have read about this theme so now I am happy for to study archaeology. And I think Stonehenge is a place that needs to be more investigated because I think still it have a lot of information for us.

Into the wild

My favourite movie is an american movie, it's called "Into the wild". I like this movie because it shows that is possible to live out of the society and survive living alone. The movie addresses the life of Christopher McCandless, also known as "Alexander Supertramp".

I saw this film in the home of one friend, his name is Ian and we are friend since 2009, but we saw together this movie in 2011. We saw Indo the wild for to find inspiration, thinking in our travel for sudamerica.

In this movie acts  Emile Hirsch, William Hurt, Marcia Gay Harden, Kristen Stewart y Catherine Keener. But the protagonist are just Emile Hirsch and Kristen Stewart. The acting of Stewart is very good, I think it's her best movie (Other films are really shit).

The movie is the drama genre , and it's about how Alexander Supertramp left his comfortable and successful life for to be happy, and live doing what he believe that was the correct life. Later of get the universitary tittle he goes to Alaska and he lives in conection with nature. He hunted his food, and he had to kill for to can eat. He must live in an abandoned bus the "magic bus"

I enjoyed it because when I saw this movie I wanted to travel, I wanted go to Argentina, Uruguay etc, so this movie was like a motivation for to do it. I liked watch how he left his life for live alone and happy, far away of city, society, capitalism and all. 

An interesting thing about this movie is that the music band was composed and performed by Eddie Vedder ( Pearl Jam vocalist) and the music is really good, even I think it was  awarded, but I don't rememder what award was.
