They want to build another runway WE ALL say no, nO NO
Amy went to the "Make a Noise Carnival" against climate changes, to find out what it was about. There was a huge protest at Hearthrow against the construction of the 3rd runway in the new terminal. People were very angry about this, because a new runway would mean much more noise and pollution in the city, and if the goverment was seriously worried about climate changes, they would realize that this change, this runway, IS NOT a good idea.
Amy decided to do something about this, so she sang a very creative song (very similar to rehab, but I think it's just my imagination) saying NO, NO, NO to the new runway.
I think this video far from being just a parody, contains a very important message for all of us. We have to realize that the climate changes are a BIG problem nowadays. It is just in our hands to take care of our planet, and fight against some people who just care about money.

Hapiness is Family?
Happiness is such a "big" word which can't be simply explained. In fact, I think that "to feel happy" involves many other feelings, and depends on the person. That's why I think that family doesn't necesarily make a child or person happy.
There's no doubt in the fact that family playes a very important and significant role in the life of a person, specially in Chile, where I think it's even overvalued. However, this is the reason why a person's home, where he or she can share with his or her family, becomes in some cases, a real unpleseant place to be in. In fact, in Chile we have plenty of cases of domestic violence which is a worrisome situation of course.
If family is such an important thing in Chile, we should take this fact and use it to improve our lifestyle. I believe that a good family which gives support to its members is not everything in life, but of course, it gives a lot. Perhaps, the problem is that we talk much about how important our familiy is, that we finally idealize it, but we actually don't realize that we are part of it and we have to do things to make our home a good place to live in.

Who am I
Hi, my name is Mauricio and I'm 18 years old. I live with my family in a small appartament in the center of the city. I started studying psycology this year at the Universidad de Chile and I'm really happy with this course. This change has been really exiting, I have met many new people and places, a whole diferent world.
What I most like in my life is art and music. I play the piano and that's what I most enjoy doing. Also, I like going out with my friends to parties o just to have good conversations.
This year, I took an english course and that's why I created this blog. I've been in touch with english since I was a child. My mother is a translator and I got used to hear many words in english. I've always liked the language so when I was about thirdteen years old, I studied english for 2 years at an institute here in Chile. After that, I just had to do it on my own and practice with my mom, until now, that I have a new oportunity to improve myself.
I hope you like what I'll write here and enjoy reading it.
Bye :)
