Himno del angel parado en un pata -Hernan Rivera Letelier

Last holliday i started to read this book, i havent finished yet cause i been busy but i`ve liked.
its the third book that i read from this writer. He's one of the most famous writers in Chile, he was born in Talca and he grew up and worked in the saltpetre deposits from the Atacama desert -north of Chile- .
I like his books because he recreates diferents ways of life from the contemporary past of our country. I really enjoy how he describes places and situations on his storys, it makes me imagine the streets, the houses, the landscapes, etc. The character are always taken from the everyday life but at the same time they are unique.
This book is about a boy who was born in a satlpetre deposit and when it was closed he had to moved with his family to a city. There he lives his adolescence and starts to learn about love, his first dreams and wishes appears and starts to survive by his own. A very deep and at the same time entertaining story.

BBC Learning English

This web site is made to help people to improve their knowledge about english language. There are many kinds of interactive-activities, where you can see videos, photos, cartoons, read texts, play games, etc.
I really enjoyied the section watch and listen, specially the activitie called "welcome to london" because its very usefull for people that is going to travell or going to live to countries like U.S. or England. There you can learn how to act in situations at the city.
The flatmates its a cartoon where you can read and listen about a story between friends, i think it a good idea, and the texts are ok but i think that the design of the characters is bad.
I played the crossword, i think its a very good tool to practise vocabulary but i got bored quickly. the news section can be very interesting for people who wants to learn english and at the same time to be informed about news around the world.
Maybe the website could include in the future a new section focus in children and teenagers. Because its easier for them to learn english faster.
