Dear Elizabeth,

I apologize for haven’t written , but I've been staying in Rancagua for this year. I'm here because I helped my grandfather getting ready for the rodeo. Every September every rider, people from around get together in Rancagua to commemorate the fiestas patrias, when on September 18^th 1818 was the independence of our country, all people in Rancagua it’s ready to celebrate the fiestas patrias and during celebration of the best rodeo from Rancagua. In the ring you can find wine tasting, local crafts, typical Chilean food and lost fun activities.
The celebration was a success. My grandfather sold more than 500 tickets for the rodeo and my grandmother sold 400 empanadas. That makes my feel very thankful, because I had the opportunity of the lived that experience, as you can imagine, I earned a lot of money. With my money the day of the rodeo, I could have fun with the activities. I went horse riding and my grandmother even got nominated for the empanada’s Queen Beauty pageant. The organizer made up for it by providing some excellent food. The empanadas and anticuchos were delicious and the wine certainly kept everyone smiling.
I enjoyed every day of the celebration. I got the chance to meet a lot of young people and I even got a job for the next year. I whished you'd been here, I miss you

Well, that’s all from me. Let me know what you’ve been doing recently.

the best wishes

CHAIN STORIES

few years ago my family planned a trip to Lagos de todos los santos . We were so excited! Well when we were almost there, we noticed we were the only car going in that direction, and everyone seemed to be leaving. Finally we got to a point where a police inspector told us there was a danger road coming so he sent us to the Red Cross Shelter to stay. We had to stay there for 2 days eating off of granola bars , fruit, and water. After the storm passed we left for our condo on the lake. When we got there of course we had to go swimming in the lake! So we were in the water about a foot or two deep and I was sucked under and was taken away by the waves.

MODALS IN THE PAST

MODALS IN THE PAST

A-What are some things that Miriam definitely should have done before she left on her trip?

the first thing before she had the going-away party is do her luggage so she could put all the things that she would need for her trip like the carry on bag.I mean that is very imporant that Miriam made her backpack and she should have sleeped the before night. She definitely should have done before see a map about the orangutanrehabilitation centers because if she didn't know where was located this center obviously she couldn't find the Orangutan Center and She didn't have a reservation for an hotel so she went to a very expensive hotel , so she must have organized her trip.

B-What are some other things that Miriam could have done to make her trip more enjoyable?
She was pushed for time and She planned to study her guidebook on the plane.

C- what should she do now?
If I were her, I would take a boat ride from jakarta to medam an finally arrive on the island of sumatra so I could help you with you objetive, that is Meet the orangutans.

THE BEST WAY TO TRAVEL IN SANTIAGO
the best way to travel in santiago is by car because it's faster and safer than buses. in my opinion , you can go anywhere and in any moment. I mean, you choose where and in the time you want to go for example at the work, school or simply a trip. another benefit , you can travel long distances and is cheapper than public transportation. therefore, that is very uncomfortable opcion to travel in santiago, it's alway has a lot of people and almost dirty.
as well that, you can travel with people that you want, it can be more fun and if you are later the buses have quite frecuency, the subway is crowded all day. Another way is to travel by bycicle, but is that in this city drivers respect cyclist making this type of transport very dangerous that's why we know about accidents caused by irresponsible drivers who don't bother to check if there are bycicles or morocycles coming at their blind point.
in conclusion, I strongly belive that is the best way to travel is by car, you can stop anywhere and you can go with and where you wish.

what effect does tourism on chile?

In my opinion this has benefited our society in a number of ways. firstly, today more people move around in the search for better living. another aspect, it enbles us to meet other cultures and to learn that ours styles of life is not the only way wich is very positive because as for the idea that travel broadens the mind , widens people's horizons. as a result the improve the economy on ours country
for example the hotels are all owned by foregin companies. as you can see, we can go abroad and do exactly what do you do at home. consequently, this helps attack ignorance to other cultures, which so often lead to racial prejudice and even violence.
another benefit is that people can see the world's most real and spectacular natural sight and visit its every places. therefore, we discover our country and other cities and become more knowledgeable in a way wich is really not possible with the internet or tv.
finally, I belive that if we travel with an open mind, our horizons be widened far a way.

Travel StoriesA Russian Experience
By Alison Ferry

I’d prefer to visit Russia because is the lasgest country in the world by far; spanning eleven time zones, its territory
There is so much to see and so much to discover that travel to Russia really does not compare to any other place. Everyone in the world has thought how nice it would be to travel to Russia one day, but very few people actually embark on such adventure.I would to have the ice cream carts were still doing business and several street stalls
selling art and brightly coloured embroidered scarves it is just beginning to pack up. I would to visit St Petersburg. Fascinated by Russian imperial history since childhood, I would to see Perestroika, there tourists are welcomed into Russia and St Petersburg with its rich, cultural history is a popular choice for visitors.
In this trip I can expand my knowledge and open my mind to beautiful and interesting places, at the same time I can live a wonderful experience. I've spent so good time on research into different activities.
