Santiago is a city that has a lot of pollution; this is a big problem for the people that live in the capital of Chile. The education of this country should do something for to find a solution of this problem, because is a problem of the society, and the new generation of Chile should have conscience for the consequence of to do nothing for that.
In my life, every day of the week I take my bike and I ride to the university I prefer use a bicycle because of the noise and pollution in the bus, it is very irritating, but when I go a far place I use the transantiago for the time. I think that this thing isn`t have a solution of the problem, but at least don´t increase the problem.
In the university are some eco groups, they are organizations without another interest that look after the environment in the campus. The Campus Juan Gomez Millas have a lot of green areas, trees, flowers, but not all the people take care of it. It´s usually see bottles, papers, bags and another stuff lying on the ground, fouling the grass, almost always after the party. For that reason some students of the University, from different faculties, like natural sciences, social sciences, arts, philosophy, etc., started with a group to give information about environmentally friendly practice. They put dumps, one to each kind of trash, papers and cartons, plastic things, and glass. Also they painted some places in the campus to take attention of the students. I don’t participate in this organization because I have other interest but I try to use the different trash.

I like going to the cinema, but I think it is too expensive. For that reason and because I don't have many spare time, I don't go there very often, though I would like to. I went to the movie theater for last time in July, to watch Toy Story 3.
Because I don't go to the movie theater that much, I tend to watch the movies that are shown in the cable, and also bought movies. So, I tend to do it at home.

My favorite movie is “La lengua de las mariposas” . The director of this movies is José Luis Cuerda. I do not know much about him, but I think that this movie is a good creation. This movie is about the Spanish Civil War, and it's settled down in Galicia.

The main characters in this movie are Moncho, a child that is 5 years old and his teacher, Don Gregorio. Both characters have a very special telationship between them. It's like a father and his child, but they are also friends.

The movie shows the scholar life in Galicia. Moncho started the school but he has a lot of fears because he realises that the teacher mistreat the children. But he found out that the teacher likes the liberal and republican idea. This teacher is a victim from the terrible event of the period, when the fascist rebellion has avictory in this small town. The final is sad because the teacher is arrested and killed.

I like this moviee because shows the simple aspect of the life, in a moment that the violence stays in every space of the life. And we can see that friendship is not about age, is about love and mutual understanding. It is a must see movie, I totally recommendend, and I have watch it at countless times.

I live in Santiago since I was born, I think that Santiago is a great city because we have a lot of things near, and it has many interesting places to visit.

A foreign tourist should visit San Cristobal hill, because it has different activities for any age person: it's a family place. You can go to the zoo, you can make ASADOS, and you can go up to the TELEFERICO and watch Santiago from the highs. It's important to know that you have to go when there's no smog, specially if you're going to go up just to watch Santiago.

Another place that tourist should visit is the Cementerio General. It has a night tour where workers from the graveyard show the different places and myths around the death people who is resting there. But, to go there, it's important for you to not be a coward, because in that case you won't sleep aat night.

A place that also must be visited in Santiago is Bellavista neighbourhood. It's a great places to go with your friends to have a great time and drink something. If you're a tourist, you have to know the night life in Santiago, and Bellavista can show you how people have fun in here.

The Parque Forestal it's a beautiful place to visit. You can take a walk, relax, and visit some of the museums around the area. Besides, it's considered the "green lung" of the city.

Finally, the Mercado Central it's a place that must be visited. You can eat sea food from our ocean, which are very delicious and typical from our country. Every tourist that wants to know the chilean flavour, has to go to the Mercado Central.

Like these, are other great places to visit. Santiago is a beautiful city to know and hang around in.
