A Book

 Book Title: "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea"

Author: Jules Verne



My Experience Reading It: I read "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" when I was very little, the truth is that I have never been one to read much and I have not gotten a taste for it even though I would love to read more. I read it because he was at my house and my dad asked me to read a book, so it was more or less forced by my dad, but after reading it the truth is that I don't care that he forced me.

How I found out: I found out about this science fiction classic because it was at home and because I had already seen movies based on the famous writings of Jules Verne.

Why I like it: What really caught my attention about this book was Verne's ability to mix science and adventure in such an intriguing way. The way he described the mysteries of the seabed and sea creatures in such detail made me feel like he was exploring the oceans along with the characters. Plus, the constant intrigue and unexpected plot twists made it impossible to put down.

As I said before, I'm not much of a reader and I've read very few books in my life, but the truth is that I read this book straight through without pauses or distractions. After reading this book I consider myself a great fan of Jules Verne, I have seen several movies based on his books and apart from this book I also read “Journey to the Center of the Earth”.

  Since I was very little I have had a lot of interaction with English, my mother is an English teacher, she in fact lived and studied for a time in the United States. He always spoke to me and my brothers at home in English or rather in a kind of Spanglish. Despite having a mother who speaks the language perfectly and who has always spoken it to me since I was little in English, it was never easy for me to speak it, I understand it very well, when my mother speaks to me in English at home I understand her. perfect, but I have a hard time formulating the sentences to establish a conversation. In the end it is my fault for not being able to speak the language better and develop in it, because the truth is that I have never put the proper effort into being able to learn it well. As I said before, it is easy for me to understand it most of the time, but when it comes to establishing a conversation I get very confused since I do not have adequate knowledge of the grammar nor do I practice

Something I enjoy doing outdoors

  I am a person who really enjoys doing activities and things outdoors. I like to ride a bicycle, I move around by bike a lot during my day to day life. After university every day I go home, I take my bike and I go to train outdoors, also on the weekends I go out for a bike ride around the city. I play soccer 3 times a week, on Sundays I play in a league in my community where I play right back. In the summer I like to climb hills and visit natural places, in the winter I don't like it very much because the truth is that I don't like the cold at all. Year after year I try to visit a new place that I don't know. One of the hills and trails that I like the most and that is also nearby is Las Aguas de Ramón. I like all of these activities a lot because I am a person who likes to be active and always do physical activity, I also like it because I enjoy the sunny days, the fresh air (although here in Santiago it is not so fresh) and also because I don't I like being at home i

In this week off from studies I took the time to do various activities and spend time with friends. During the recess week I took advantage of resting, working and training, here I count 5 activities that I did from Friday to Tuesday the 19th. 1. Tongoy Last Friday together with 3 friends we traveled to the beach, specifically to the town called Tongoy, here we went to eat at La Caleta, we walked along the beach, we bought things to have a drink called Terremoto. We stayed in Tongoy until Sunday. 2. Seviche and ostiones Continuing in Tongoy. While we were here with my friends we went down several times to eat seviche and ostiones at La Caleta where they prepare everything right there in front of you. Everything is very fresh and delicious, whenever I go to Tongoy I like to eat there in La Caleta. 3. Travel by Car Since we left on Friday for the beach we made a very long trip by car since it took us 5 and a half hours from Santiago to Tongoy, after Tongoy we traveled 2 hours to Pichidan
