Hi visitors! 
You all are welcome for reading this interesting topic I think it concerns to nature. 
Villarica is one of my favourite volcanoes in the world, because it has the shape of Fuji Yama (the Japan's most known volcano and shown in Hokusai's paintings) and it had (now it doesn't due to its recent eruption but I still like it) much snow making a good contrast with the background (mainly exemplified with the sky and clouds). Besides it has a very beautiful forest around, thousand-year glaciers, cold volcanic rock caves (those three places make up the namesake National Park).
It's characterized for being the most active volcano (with 2847 metres above sea) in the Andes with the last eruptions in 1949, 1963, 1971, 1984 and the current year (2015). 
I have never seen it with my own eyes until I went to Villarica (city) last summer holidays just in the precursor of its eruption, and I was astonished by its majestic height standing out all the local hills.
When it unleashed the eruption throwing out lava with ash in this year I remembered nature is always wise and at the same time powerful. It warns us we ought to protect and admire the planet we live and Villarica volcano is one of its proofs.

Today I'm going to write about one of my favourite Tv programmes I've ever watched during my childhood, it's about "Godzilla the series". It lies in a baby Godzilla survivor of the combat aircraft attack against American version of Godzilla (a big iguana with a dinosaur shape due genetical mutation by atomic bombs launched in the Pacific) which it tried to invade New York City using it like a nest for sustaining its specie. The survivor Godzilla grew with a group of scientists with the purpose of being protected as national as foreign militar army attacks. However, a group of French militar and scientists tried to make their own version of "Godzilla" for fighting against the American one. Therefore, they create other large monsters (I just remember about some ones such as bat, dragon, caterpillar, grasshoper shape) which spreads in important cities of the world (London, Paris, Washington D.C., Tokyo, Hong Kong, Moscow, München) creating panic on every person from those metropolis. However, Godzilla fights against attempting to gain the tranquillity of population.
It was on during the last years of 90's and the first ones of XXIst century, i.e., it lasted two years (I was surprised because it was a very short tv programm when I watched the last episode). Nevertheless I watched it in 2001 when I was 7,  exactly when a Chilean channel broadcasted it during the whole year.
I just enjoyed it personally because I like dinosaurs or monsters like that and watching them in very known cities was something avant-garde for my imagination (it could enhance a little bit) and  I had the chance of drawing many times scenes about that tv programme on papers of my old notebooks.

Hello visitors!

Now is the moment for talking about one song very amazing for litsening which it was created in the 80's. That song is called "Bohemian Rhapsody" and I've heard it's very representative for the decade when it was composed. This songs was made by the British artist Freddie Mercury within the band "Queen".
I remember I heared it for the first time when some of my classmates from my previous school in 2011 recommended me to listen to it for making wider my musical tastes (because before of that moment I was used to like only classical music), so I would say their intentions worked.
I like this song because it mixes some music styles and the voices are very harmonic (I was very surprised that high-pitched tones was sung by the members of this band, I'm completely uncapable to achieve those sounds with my own voice), though the lyrics shows a sad story.
Moreover I like its beginning when the majestic piano with light and black keys sounds (it gives a sensation to listen to something imposing) or when I count on the presence of the electric guitar in that song when its lyrics is almost finished.
This masterpiece captivates my attention because it has different levels of tones (deep and high pitches) and my skills with the only reason of playing it on the piano someday.

Hello visitor! You are welcome to Sebastian's blog. 

I'll introduce myself during the first English class: 
I'm Sebastian, I'm 20 years old and I study geography at Universidad de Chile.

My main hobbies I like to do are playing the piano and learning new languages.

I have been playing the piano for 4 years ago thanks to the chance of using a small keyboard (with 5 octaves) which my mom has bought to me, but the moment more delightful about this issue was I bought a larger keyboard (with 8 octaves) where I started to play some harder songs such as 'Moonlight', etc.
Learning new languages is always a new possibility for opening to know new cultures and countries, so I always have had the chance of learning a new one when I have a little of spare time. My favourite languages are English, French, Esperanto and German (though the last one is really hard).
