Aplication letter

Dear Sir,

 I am writing as an answer to the advertisement I found yesterday while I was reading the paper. I am a highly talented English teacher and I would be very grateful I could join to the American world institute.

 As I already said before I am a highly recognized teacher. I graduated as an English teacher at Universidad Católica de Valparaíso and after that I have had more than 4 different degrees related to children learning in the United States (university of Michigan) and in the United Kingdom (Bristol University). I have also been part of the new project that the Chilean government has tried to bring to our country in order to motivate children to learn English by providing them all the tools needed to achieve this goal, which by now seems to be working successfully.

 I can perfectly work with big groups of people, especially kids with whom I have worked many times. I am very capable of breaking tough challenges and I would bring all my best in trying to promote a nice atmosphere in order to make children notice how English can helps them in many different ways.

 I am looking forward to hearing from you.

 Yours faithfully,

 Diego Mendoza.

Formal letter

Dear sir,

 First of all, I really hope you are doing great. Last week I found an advertisement and it really caught my attention.

  Some friends and I have been planning to visiting Africa and in order to achieve this goal we saved every dollar we could.

 Sadly, the advertisement does not really show much information ,that is why I would be very grateful if you could send me some more details about it.

 We are all animal lovers and we are looking forward to seeing as many wild animals as possible. Therefore, I was wondering if you could send me some information about the tours you are currently offering and also if you have any especial offer, package or something similar.

 Prices and fees are a major importance for us, so I would like to know how much the whole tripe cost and if you could clarify a bit more the duration of the trip, in order to re-schedule our timetable.

The advertisement mentions that the safari takes place in Kenia, and since we do not speak in another language apart from English, I was wondering if there is going to be any sort of translator or bilingual guide who could help us finding out the beauty of the wild Africa.

  Finally, I would like to know if the hotel where visitors stay offers single rooms, because I would prefer not to share it, if possible.

 I look forward to hearing from you.

 Yours faithfully,

 Diego Mendoza.

The huge power of music (writting test 1)

                                         THE HUGE POWER OF MUSIC

Music has been part of our lives since long ago; even in the prehistorically era, people  had the chance of being in touch with this marvelous approach that allows people to express their feelings and thoughts in a more artistic way .

Nowadays, music is drastically changing and so is with the researching related to it. Some results have shown that music is even capable of healing people, which sounds quite interesting. Music produces some effects in human´s bodies; by listening to the appropriate music, the brain produces some toxins and hormones, which are directly related with some diseases and produce a relevant improvement in the patient health. This sometimes helps them to make a full recovery.

It has been proved that people who are more exposed to great kind of music have developed an stronger immune system, which in the end allows them to live for a longer period of time.

Although music studies are a major step in finding new alternatives to heal people, some scientist have claimed should not be allowed as a treatment, because it is a branch that need to be complemented and improved .

All in all, music takes over our lives, since it is present every single day, so we can not deny its enormous power. Personally, I do believe that music can heal people, or at least make them feel better.

                                                      

CREAMFIELDS

Creamfields festival is an electronic party, which was born in Liverpool (UK) in 1998. Creamfields festival has become more and more popular during the last 7 years, and that is one of the reasons why tickets are now so expensive.

I had always wanted to be part into a massive concert, and last year on November I made my dream came true; some friends and I decided to go to Creamfields festival in Santiago, where the concert took place.

We had never been before in that giant city full of people and pollution. While we were in the subway trying to get to Espacio Riesco we got lost and ended up at some unknown place not far from we were supposed to get. Finally, after some hours lost in Huechuraba and thanks to some nice person we could arrive at the event and we had the best time of our life  ; We danced all night long watching and enjoying David Guetta , CalvIn Harris and  many others djs who were there playing their biggest hits until the sun came out in the morning.

A WORLD WITHOUT WATER

Science against humans (improved version)

Science against humans

 Nowadays, living without technology seems a bit impossible and most of the people who have tried to figure out this question could not get a clear conclusion, but one thing is very clear, humans can not exist or afford anything without science or technology, both are directly connected.

 Scientific approaches in the medicine area are currently bringing higher qualities and a better access in order to improve human´s life. These days many diseases such as cancer, diabetes, heart conditions, etc. can be treated so much better than it used to be centuries ago. On the other hand today, technology seems to be like a threat to social life, in other words, we spend more time than we should using our laptop , our modern mobile phones or just logged in into some popular social network . Families are terrible by modern science and technology (in a good and in a tough way) : parents do not know  what to do or how to mix good behaviors with modernity,  and some others are simply and completely destroyed.

 From my point of view, science should be seen as a very helpful tool, which has been brought to us, but we must understand we can not abuse of it (because all abuses are wrong and dangerous). We need to learn how to mix science and good values constructively in order to create a better atmosphere in which we are all involved.
