Friends!

The values in a friend are many, but the most important thing is one: this person should be with us in good and bad moments. This is something that I value in a friend.
Finding friends is not too difficult for me, but find a real friend is hard. In my childhood I remember one real friend, she was my front neighbor and we used to play different things every day. When you are a child is not difficult finding someone, but she never left me alone… those where good times.
When I was older, I made more friends, but eventually we lose contact. This happened to me until I went to the university. There (well, here) I made some friends, as usually, but nowadays I have 3 closest friends. In first place, I will speak about two of them: Karina and Hernán.
This two are one of the most ridiculous persons that I know, together we laugh a lot and also we do all the works in classes together. Karina and Hernán always listen to me and I listen they too, we share our problems and help each other to cheer us and feel better. It’s very comfortable having friends like them.
My other closest friend is my boyfriend, Miguel. I met him by the internet… We started talking about games and, with the time, we starting to become closest friends. One year later, we met in real time, in person… well, then we fall in love and start a relationship and now we live happily eating partridges.
Have friends is an important thing and my life would be so much difficult without they.

Me and the environment

Since I was a kid, my family taught me that protect the environment is an important and essential

thing for being a better human being. My mother and my father always told me “never throw

trash on the ground, because that’s bad”. Maybe the first time that she taught me this, I don’t

understood why, because other times I had seen trash in parks or in the streets, but when I was a

little bit older, I finally understood: places looks horrible when they are dirty, because no one can

enjoy this places and garbage kills the plants.

I think that this is the first time when you can learn about the environment: your parents, and I will

try to pass this knowledge to my children one day.

I you ask me, how green I am? I answer you that I’m not a green person… if you are thinking

in recycling things. I don’t do this not because I don’t care, but in Rancagua, there is not much

places where you can carry your recyclable garbage. However, I always try to reduce my

carbon footprint: I share the car with other persons, I don’t use taxi because I prefer the public

transportation; I also try to turn off the TV and the lights when I’m not using it; I don’t waste

water, I walk from my home to the bus stop (like 15 minutes) every time I can; I use the bicycle to

make short trips and reuse the super market bags and try to use a cloth bag to do the shopping.

I would like to do more things to help the environment, but I think that these little things would

help a lot if more persons would make them...

Read~

I remember all the times when I was a child and my grandmother read me some books like “Papelucho”, I always liked to read, but I loved so much more when my grandmother read me, because it was like an eternal story, and also taught me the good habit of reading.

Because this fact, I think that my favorite childhood book was “Papelucho”. The fun of this book also was that my mom and I could comment the book and laugh together of the adventures of this little boy.

Recently I read many books (because of the university), but the last one I read was “The Chronicles of Narnia: the horse and his boy”. Maybe you’ll think that this book is for children, but no (in spirit I’m a child), never is late to read a good book.

I haven’t finished it yet, because I’m with no time, but I recommend it to you, because is a book based in a fantasy world, where the animals can talk and the adventure is always present.  Other reason because why I haven’t finished this book, is because I left it in my boyfriend house, with all my collection of “The Chronicles of Narnia”, but seriously, I strongly recommend this book if you like fantasy books, and remember…. You’ll never be old to read any kind of books!

Chile has world’s highest capacity for solar energy, study says

 This article is related to energy potential of Chile, in this case, is about the solar energy. The article tells about an 18 month study conductec by speciallist of the Universidad de Chile and commissioned by the Minister of Energy, that wants to find out what is the solar energy potential of the country.

Commonly, the people though that Ecuador concentrates more solar radiaton than any other country in the world (due to its position on equator), but because humid climate, the concentration of radiation are lower than most of the people think. Instead of that, the scientist found that Chile has more solar radiation, at Atacama desert, were the radiation reaches arround 7 and 7.5 kilowatt-hour per square meter, which allow that in an area of 12x12 miles of solar panels, can supply the entire country energy demand.

This fact is very important because demostrates that Chile has many potential to develop solar energy projects that allows to know the truly amount of exploitable radiation available.

But why Atacama desert? Because of its altitude, the higher region receives the solar radiation, and this disperses along the entire desert, allowing this high concentration of radiation in all over the desert.

This study, positions Chile as the country with the highest concentration of solar radiation in the world and also, allowing the area to be studiated to learn more about global warning.
