My free time

What is the free time? It is a complicated question. Some people think the free time is for doing activities out of academic duty or job duty. But If I take time for watching TV or going to the cinema, the time isn’t free.

The technology can increase the free time because it does a lot of activities with machines like the washing machine. If you clean the dish before, you can sleep now.
But the technology has bad point too. The internet is the best distractor when you should study. I believe it is more fun to play in facebook than read about macroeconomics. The study is possible if you know how to use the time with technology.

Frequently I have one day free in the week, the other four day are for studying and if you have luck you can sleep and eat. No, it’s no real. Just is necessary to have time organization, but it is hard when you are tired.

I manage my time in the weekend or the month. I have an agenda for doing it, it is very useful. When I put the activities on agenda is impossible to forget it. It is obviously! But sometimes I don’t put my activities on agenda, so I don’t use my time wisely. Next, the academic time is bigger than free time.

When I have free time I like to sleep or listening music meanwhile I rest on my bed. Sometimes, I meet with my friends and we go to mall for eating or just talking about the life. We go to parties some times too.
When I’m alone, I see movies, or play in my notebook. Others time I go to the swim pool or write. I read about ecologic news and I call phone to my home in Ovalle.

If I have more free time I would to enter an ecologic organization for do an activist, but I don’t have the time for do this dreams and to help the world.
I can dedicated more time to my family too because they live out of Santiago.

I choose to write about a environmental topic: “University challengers race for the sun in Solar Decathlon”. The article talk about a great idea to produce energy solar home.
This is a challenge for 20 students groups from America, Canada, Spain and German. I think is a great idea because you can find a lot alternatives news for take care our environment. The competion have between the options a project for mannagment the control light with a Iphone for who needs to make other activities. The university of minnesota`s created a project that looks like a rustic chalet, I believe is so cute.
Other options are approach on poor neighbourhoods in houston. It have a cost of $140000, a very efficient idea. But each team have $100000 to build the project.
Some teams had been working since 3 years ago and october 18 the will know to the winner.
The idea was made for the US department energy. I would like to make this project in our country because we have a lot of territory for do it, for example the atacama desert, Chile have a groups of goodengineer, but we listen always “ we havnt money for do it”. But this article show we can do “solar powered home sleek and cheap”.

Sports and health

Hi, Today im goin to talk to you about Sports. I go to the gym two times a week because I do aerobic gymnastic with other classmates.
I believe this activity is great. Really is nice and funny, also is good for the health: the gym to prevent illness like obesity, hipertensión, or others problems connected with the heart or the choresterol. But is excellent for the concentration when we need to study. The sport avoid the depression too, because when we do exercise, our body is been releasing hormones for to be happy and more light.

The sport should be important for the society because it have a lot of benefits. In Chile we can find a lot of obesity because the people dont have a sport culture. Maybe the government must to do more campaign about the sport topyc like to show more kind of sport for all kind of people. For example, the swimming, cycling, yoga and long walk are sport soft for who need to do sport but have other kind of problems with your health. I believe this is possible if you want and ask a doctor before.
The football isnot the only one sport in aour country, we have more alternativies for choose.

I think that “ Rodeo a la Chilena” not is a popular sport because just a little part of population to practice it, so is considerated like a traditional game. I dont agree wit modified it because is like to change our traditions, but I agree with the idea about to give more support. But the others sport needs to support too.

To have a better life, is necessaty to erradicated some activities or excesses on the fast food, cigarretes, alcoholic drinks and drugs.
