My next vacation

I just want you to come my vacation! I am really tired at this time of year...
I think to spend my vacation in my city, Talca but  I also think out of this city to other cities. Maybe I will travel again to the south of chile because it's really beautiful.

I think also meet my friends, because I never see them. Whenever I have to be here in Santiago and seldom I see them when I travel to Talca. 

Other thing that I do is work on my practice studies. I work on it during my vacation because during the academic year it becomes very difficult. the time is not enough!

What I like to do is is enjoy my family, going to the beach, the mountains, going to parties with friends and photographing every moment. I love photography and I think I'll have a large album of photographs at the end of my vacation.
    

I need to visit natural places. the city has me a little tired and just want to sleep next to the trees or in the middle of the beach sand. My little brother and my best friend too excited with these places. Certainly I have a big company with them. For while I finish in the best way the remaining school days. re becoming less!

31 Minutos

31 Minutos is a series of Chilean television that mixes comedy genre. This series is based on a news program it focuses on the adventures of a news team of little prestige, which is always something unexpected happens. And all the characters are puppets!

31 Minutos spent four season, the fourth after 10 years without being transmitted on screen. T
he first time this series was aired in 2003 and the last time in 2014. The program in its four seasons, has a total of 70 episodes counting the Christmas special.




The newscast led by puppets made from a very popular beginning, not only in Chile but throughout Spanish America and Brazil.
In 2003 31 Minutos won a prize prize awarded by the School of Communication Studies, Film and Television University UNIACC 31 minutes for the creative contribution to the Chilean TV and in Viña del Mar Festival 2013 the show won four awards of the contest: Silver Torch, Torch Gold and Silver Seagull Seagull Golden, having introduced its own repertoire of musical section of the news songs.

I love this program since I was small because educating children in an entertaining and creative way as do few programs of the Chilean television. Really it makes me laugh a lot!!!


It is good that there are these TV shows that are dedicated for children to learn and develop their creativity at the same time.

I admire Ernesto Garratt because he is a fun and creative person. He is an excellent journalist. Is an honor for me to have lessons with him and learn from him always.
