The best holidays ever

Hello everyone, on this occasion I'm going to tell you about the best vacation I've had, it was in the summer of 2009, in Pichilemu. Every year I will spend at least 1 month of the summer in this place, since I have a House there, also my grandparents live in this town, and my cousins are also vacationing here. What special about the summer of 2009, is that it was the first time I went fishing with my father and my grandfather, fishing is one of my favorite pastimes, because it's relaxing and exciting at the same time, let me explain, I relax enough while I hope the fish bite the bait, when it does it is where begins the exciting, fishing rod gives a flip and the fish tries to escape, finally when you get the fish to the surface, reduces anxiety and relax again, but full of joy because you catch a fish, especially if it is large or catch 2 at the same time, and in that year I catch many fish with my family, we were going to fishing all the weekends and  the fish was very abundant, currently almost no fish due to over-exploitation of this resource by big fishing companies, is why it is worth mentioning those times, when fishing was plentiful We even catching 2 fish at the same time, I have travelled to many other places, but I really appreciate the simple things, share with my family and be in contact with nature has no comparison.

Getting Around

Act. 01. PET practice: My score was 3/7, the most difficult of these test for me is that all options are named, and that confuses me a bit.

 Act. 02. Listening Practice: My score was 80%, this activity was a little easier than the last, but the last questions confused me, because  they had many indications.

A country I'd like to visit

Hello everyone, this time I'm going to tell you about a place that I'd like to visit, I am referring to France, mainly to visit the Tower Eiffel.
I know that it is a place with beautiful architecture and a good gastronomy, also is one of the oldest countries in Europe, founded the year 843. The movement of Impressionist art was born in France,with some painters such as Van Gogh, Renoir, Monet and Degas. Currently in this country where it is realized the biggest cycling race in the world, I am referring to "Le Tour de France".
I'd be a couple of weeks in France, to know place, visiting the most popular tourist places and the French countryside, taste their wines, and compare them with Chilean wines.
I would only go for a couple of weeks, I have no intentions of studying, working or living in France. First I will finish to study dentistry here in Chile, and after graduate will decide if I stay in Santiago, a region or maybe I emigrate to another country, it is too early to know.
Thanks for reading my blog, what do you think about France? which country you would visit?
