Video Review
1. I watched the video, but I’m not a big fan of this kind of
documentaries because they are too catastrophic and pessimistic.
Another problem that I have with this documentary is that it only
shows the problems, but it doesn't offer any solutions. In addition, it
doesn’t focus (FOUCOS) on the real problem, which is the índustries
(ÍNDOSTRIS) and not the people. I have watched these kinds of
documentaries since I was born, and I feel that all the problems are
still the same, so I don’t know what the real impact of these videos is.
In order to / to = para
In order to learn English, you need to study a lot.
Sentences
1. I stayed at home all weekend because I didn’t feel very well, so I

a page that shows their vaccination status.
4. My friend, Hector, and his partner, Pablo, adopted a dog. In the

beginning, Pablo didn’t want a pet because they both (BOUZ)
worked out of the house all day, but because of the pandemic, they
now work from home, so Hector was able to convince him, and Pablo
is now in love with the puppy.
So = por lo tanto, así que
5. I hate people with double standards. For example, today I watched a

publication on Instagram where the actor Adam Driver was promoting
the brand Burberry. He appeared without a T-shirt and showed his
toned body. However, instead of getting positive comments, all the
comments were negative, and when I entered the profiles that made
these comments, all of them were from women who didn’t really look
like Angelina Jolie. They should look in the mirror before commenting
on other peoples’ looks.
Toned (TÓUNT) = tonificado
6. I finished reading a book called The Song of Achilles by Madeline

Miller. This book is a reinterpretation of the story that we all know of

Breach (BRICH) = incumplir
1. Scarlet Johansen sued (SUT) Disney because they breached

(BRICHT) the agreement about the film Black Widow and where it
would be released. The film would be released only in cinemas, but
Disney also released it (RILÍSTET) on its online platform. This
generated a decrease in the prófits that she obtained. Disney
answered that they didn’t breach (BRICH) the cóntract, and that
Scarlet will never participate in Marvel films anymore.
2. I prefer heat (HIT) to cold, but the high temperatures

(TÉMPERCHERS) that are forecasted for August are disturbing. I
watch a lot of publications (PABLIKÉISHONS) on Instagram about
this topic, especially from people who I know personally, and I know

not to use plastic and also try to reuse bottles and containers in

4. I started reading Beloved (BILÓVET) by Tony Morrison. Before I

continue reading it, I want to look at a version in English because I
feel that the format, translation, and page makeup in Spanish are
weird. The story has flashbacks, but it has been difficult for me to
notice when they occur.
5. I haven’t continued Le Miserables because the story is too sad.

When someone is having a good time, bad things immediately
(IMÍDIATLI) occur (OKIÉR). So, I have preferred reading other books
that I hadn’t read (RED) yet.
6. A friend had planned a trip to Ireland to study English. However,

because of COVID, the trip was canceled, and so far, he doesn’t
have a new or a tentative date to travel. The problem with all of this
is that he quit his job, so now he is unemployed (ANEMPLÓIT)
Quit-quit = renunciar a
7. I bought a deer antler for my dog to bite (BAIT) because I read (RED)
that it is useful to clean his teeth. At first, he didn’t like it, but now he
plays a lot with it. I hope that it works because the vet said that if this
doesn’t work, he will need surgery to clean his teeth, and this would
imply (IMPLÁI) total (TOURAL) anesthesia (ANESTÍSHA), which can
be dangerous.
I have been working late recently, and I’m stressed.

pandemic. Because of COVID, you have to make an appointment for
one hour. When you arrive, you must show proof of vaccination, and
every time you use a machine or dumbbell, you must clean it after
using it.
5. On Sunday I went to the mall very early (ÉRLI), which was a good
idea because I was able to enter four sneaker stores, and I didn’t
have to wait in line. Then I met my parents, and we went to eat at a
restaurant. After that, we came back to the mall to continue
(CONTÍNIU) shopping, but now it was very crowded (CRAUDED).

I wasn’t able to call you because I was in a meeting all morning.

Wednesday, it will be the first day with the curfew starting at midnight,
and the Metro will probably close after 11:00 pm, so we will be able to
stay out longer.

Heist (HAIST) / robbery = asalto
1. The 5th and last season of “Money Heist” was released on Netflix,
and it has been a trending topic on all webpages. Apparently, one of
the main characters dies, which has generated a big impact on the
audience. The second part of this season will be released a few
months later, so I will wait to watch the 4th and 5th seasons together.
After = después de...

After the party, after September, after the end of the year
Later = más tarde
2. On the weekend, I downloaded and watched the new version of

Cinderella with Camila Cabello as the main character. The movie is
terrible, but it’s OK to watch at home on the weekend. For me, the
main issue is that the film tries to be very feminist, but it doesn’t
develop the plot well. The movie is a musical, and this is the only
aspect of the film that works well because almost all the songs are
popular.
3. The case of Rodrigo Rojas, the constituent who lied about his illness,
has made headlines around the world. The case has impacted local
pólitics, and it has created divided opinions. Some people think that in
spite of his mistake, he shouldn't be removed, while others think that
he should be removed immediately. This case has had repercussions
(RIPERKÁSHONS) for the Lista del Pueblo, which attempted to
change pólitics, but failed.
Attémpt-attémpted = intentar
4. On Sunday, the clocks changed from winter to summer time.

Specialists always say that this change is very harmful to your mental
health, but I’m very happy when the clocks change. Some articles
and research (RISERCH) say that this period increases suicides. I
don’t know why, but if an article says (SES) this, there is probably
some truth (TRUZ) about it.
5. On the weekend, I watched the Netflix film “He’s All That”. I

understand it's a remake of an old movie, but the main difference is
that now the gender of the characters has been changed. The film is
pretty bad, but it is (IRÍS) entertaining to watch on a weekend when
there is not much to do.
6. I started reading a new book by Taylor Jenkins Reid. I had already

read one book by her and really liked it, and I'm enjoying this one too.
The plot is about 4 siblings with very different personalities and lives
(LAIVS), but who love each other very much and whose parents are
dysfunctional (DISFÓNKSHONAL). The mother dies at an early age
due to alcoholism (ÁL-CO-HO-LI-SEM), and the father constantly
abandons them for other women.
My family and I are going to my uncle’s house on the 18th for a family
barbecue.

I studied (STADIT) English on Saturday and Sunday.
I went to the gym at 5:00 pm on Friday, and it wasn’t too crowded.
I watched the new Cinderella movie by Amazon. However, I didn’t like the

situation generated criticism (CRÍTISISEM), most of the couple's fans
celebrated the decision they made.

1. The movie Dune was released this month. It is an adaptation of the

book with the same name. I have read (RED) reviews about the novel
and everyone says that it is a másterpiece, so I bought it. Then, I will
watch the movie because the reviews say that it is very good too.
2. My friends from highschool and I went to my cousin’s house on

Friday. This get-together has become a tradition to celebrate
September although this time was a little different because my
cousin’s baby is due on September 25th, and my cousin needs to be
ready to act quickly if his girlfriend starts having contractions.
3. Last week, I ordered clothes for my trip next week, but I’m not sure if
they will arrive on time. If they arrive late, I will have to return them
when I come back.
4. I just finished reading “Malibu Rising” by Taylor Jenkins Reid (RID) ,

and I liked it a lot. I have read two of her books, and both have been
very good. I know that she has a third book called Daisy Jones

untíl I finish other books like Don Quixote, Le Miserables (LE
MISERÁB) , Dune, The Evening and the Morning, and Beloved.

5. This weekend, I watched a movie called Escape Room 2, which is

evidently a sequel to the first movie. This film (FELM) is similar to
Saw, but it contains fewer explicit deaths and gore. The plot twist at
the end of the movie was excellent, and I want to watch the 3rd part
although It has not been announced yet.
6. I’m very happy because I received an email on Friday saying that we
will leave work early on September 16th. I thought they were going to
give us the day off, but it’s better than nothing.
I went to my cousin’s house on Friday evening. Our friends from high

school were there. We usually get together to celebrate the national
holidays.
I met my friends / I got together with my friends
My cousin Roberto will become a father around September 25th, and that’s

books with designs and illustrations that are very different and

a store that was far away from home, but since my sister loves food,
she offered to go get them.
5. I remember that a while ago, almost everyone talked very badly about
trashy TV shows like Primer Plano, SQP, and Morande con

2. We left our luggage (LÁGACH) in our rooms, and then we planned

our excursions (EXKÉRSHONS) with our guide. Although the guide
recommended (RICOMÉNDET) that we start with an easy trek, we
decided to start with the most extreme one.
3. After we decided what trek to do first, we had dinner at the restaurant

of the hotel. In my opinion, the food was very fancy and delicious, and
fórtunately, they had vegetarian (VELLETÉRIAN) dishes. However,
my dad said that the food was too fancy for him, and the servings
were too small, so he ate very little.
Very little = muy pequeño / muy poco

Servings = porciones
4. On Tuesday, we got up very early to go trekking to Torres del Paine. I

Warm (WORM) clothes = ropa abrigadora
5. The trek was very extreme, and at the beginning, I thought that I
wouldn’t be able to finish it because I got a cramp. But in the end, I
was able to do it. However, I was afraid (AFREIT) for my dad, but he
was able to finish too. The view of Torres del Paine was wonderful,
and we were lucky (LAKI) that the sky was clear.
6. We visited the cave of the Milodón, and Grey glacier (GLÉISHER).

The first one, the cave of an animal that became extínct millions of
years ago, was not so amazing, but the second one was very
beautiful. During the tour (TOR) at Grey glacier we met a very
likeable couple who had an interesting story about how (HAU) they
met. They met in Australia during a working holiday. She’s
Argentinian, and he’s Chilean. In the beginning, she didn’t like him

Thursday, September 30th (ZÉRTIEZ)
1. I watched the TV Show Squid Game on Netflix because it was a

trending topic on all social (SOUSHAL) media platforms. I liked it, but
it had errors that made the plot too unbelievable, so I don’t think that
it’s as good as people say.
Squid = calamar
2. I ordered the new Minalima edition of Harry Potter as a pre-order. It

will be released in October (OKTOUBER) of this year, and I hope

-It was 20,000 pesos / It was twenty thousand (ZAUSEND) pesos.
3. My family and I went to Jardin Mallinckrodt in Providencia to

celebrate my sister's new job, and it was very good since my sister
and I didn’t have any problems finding vegetarian and vegan dishes.
Although the menu had meat, my father only ate French fries.
4. Sebastian Sichel acknowledged that he withdrew his 10% from his

AFP. I think that this will afféct his cándidacy because it seems

the day, and she was bored.
We went out to dinner on Tuesday evening to celebrate her new job.

1. J. Balvin called to boycott the Grammy Awards because he wasn’t

nominated, and in response, Calle 13's Residente, the lead singer,
attacked him saying that if he wasn’t nominated, it was because his

3. A new poll indicates that Kast is in second place among the

presidential candidates. I think Sichel's recents news related to the
withdrawal of his 10% from the AFP and his father's interview,
affected his popularity négatively. Despite this, I am aware that polls
are made by powerful people and are not 100% reliable
(RILÁIABOL).
4. I’m taking a course to be certified as a Lead Auditor. Today was the

1) Since my sister and I both finish work at 2:00 pm on Fridays, we went

to the mall to buy my father’s birthday gift. The good thing is that the
mall was almost empty, so it was very easy to find the gift quickly. We
bought some tracksuit pants, a cap, and a fanny pack. Since we
bought (BOT) the presents very fast, we were also able to buy a gift
for my mother because it’s her birthday in November too. We bought
her a black backpack. When we finished shopping, we had lunch, but

second volume, and if I like it, I will continue reading more books of
this saga.

haven't watched it yet. I have high expectations for this film because
the book is excellent, and the locations that I imagined when I was
reading it were beautiful. I also like the cast a lot.
5) To practice my reading in English, I bought three graphic novels and

one manga comic in English, too. I have already read (RED) the three
graphic novels, and I’m happy because it was very easy for me to
understand them. The graphic novel is called Heartstopper
(HARTSTOPER) by Alice Oseman, which has been a bestseller for a
long time, so I decided to read (RID) it. The plot is about two boys
who go to the same school. One of them is openly gay, and the other
is straight until he meets the other and falls in love with him. The
story is very youthful (IÚZFOL) and innocent, and the author tells it
very well. Three books with the same characters have been
published so far, and I have read all three because I’m the biggest
fan of this series.
6) Now that the theaters are starting to reopen, I saw that at Nescafe de

a ticket to see this play.

mall. I had a burrito, and my sister had a salad because she is trying to lose
weight.
Hummus (HÁMAS) is an Árabic dish made from chickpeas (CHÍKPIS) =

solved, and they gave us a good díscount.
5. I have training at work all this week. I had a lot of expectations about
this training, but yesterday was the first day, and it’s not so good

7. Chris Evans, Captain (CAPTEN) America, was chosen as this year’s

sexiest man by “People'' magazine. I thought that the chosen guy
simply appeared in the magazine, but I read that they must accept
this award (AWÓRD). He had been chosen last year, but his
manager had decided to reject this nomination because Evans was
involved in a sexual (SÉKSHUAL) cóntroversy, and he thought that it
wasn’t a good time.
A good time = un buen momento

award (AWÓRD) = premio
manager
8. The diréctor of Squid Game, the popular series on Netflix, confirmed

that they are going to make a second season. I hope that some

(SÍSON) return one way or another = de alguna forma u otra.
9. I have mixed feelings about something. Last week two pigs escaped
from a truck that was going to the slaughterhouse (SLÓRERHAUS),
and now they are living happily in an animal sanctuary. The sad thing
is that the other pigs didn’t escape and are now dead.
supposedly (SUPÓUSEDLI)
My weekend was quiet. I stayed at home all weekend. I relaxed a lot

reading House of Earth and Blood and watching The Office on HBO.
I also played video games.
I went to the gym on Saturday morning, and it was kind of empty.
My sister and I were home alone again all weekend, since my parents went
to Rosa Agustinas, a resórt near Pomaire until Sunday.
We made lasagna and at night, we ordered sushi, which was great!
My family and I went to a bar to celebrate my father’s birthday on Sunday.

He turned (TERNT) 58. We went to Bar y Vuelvo in Barrio Italia.
The food and drinks were good, but we had some problems with our order.
My sister ordered a sandwich on marraqueta bread, but after a while, they
told us they didn’t have marraqueta, so she ended up changing her order =

I ordered an eggplant sandwich, but after a while, they told me that they
didn’t have eggplant, so I ended up ordering the sandwich without eggplant
because they didn’t have any more vegan dishes.
Eggplant = berenjena
I drank a kind of michelada with strawberries and lemon juice (YUS). It was
OK.
The edge of the glass had salt (SOLT) that tasted (TÉISTET) like

this year according to People magazine? Well, I was mistaken, and
they finally chose (CHOUS) Paul Rudd (RAD).
Choose (CHUS) - chose (CHOUS) = elegir
2. I’m angry (ENGRI) because we went back to the office, but there are
some things that they didn’t take into account. For example, we don’t
have an optimal space for lunch, the internet is slower than at home,
and we don’t have taxis hired by the company. Before the pandemic,
they gave us a van, but now I must take an Uber and wait for one
hour before it accepts my ride.
Hire-hired = contratar
Ride = trayecto
Trip = viaje
Travel-traveled = viajar
3. I finished the training that I told you about on Monday. I finally liked it,
not so much, but it was OK. I have some tasks to do now to get the
certification.
4. I bought a light novel on/from The Book Depository last month, and it
arrived yesterday. It's called Sword Art Online, and I’m excited
because it’s the novel that inspired one of my favourite animes. There
are 14 volumes so far, and reading it will be a challenge because
they are all in English.
excited = entusiasmado
Maybe I will go to a bar this weekend

Maybe I will meet my niece (NIS), Ema on Sunday
niece (NIS) = sobrina

Maybe I will work out at the gym
Work out = entrenar
Maybe I will go to the mall to buy some books at Antarctica Bookstore or

some shampoo at Lush, and maybe I will get a suitcase for my trip to New
York, the city that never sleeps.
I like Contrapunto bookstore better than Antartica bookstore.

I like the comic books that they have
I like their photo books and their art books.
Suitcase (SÚTKEIS) = maleta
I’m happy because I read the news that the band Gorillaz is playing a new
concert in Chile next year.
They came to Chile in 2018, but I didn’t go because I didn’t want to spend
money, and the tickets were kind of expensive.

The concert will be at Movistar Arena (ARINA).

I bought a new book from The Book Depository, and it arrived yesterday.
It’s called Sword (SORD) Art Online by Reki Kawahara. It’s a light novel

they die in real life.

I decided not to go. I felt guilty, but since I missed my appointment, I
decided to jump rope instead. I jumped rope for about an hour.
An hour = 60 minutes
An appointment = hora con el doctor, dentista, gimnasio, etc.
2. I finished reading House of Earth and Blood, and I liked it but not so
much. I thought that I was going to like it a lot because the characters
are adults (ÁDOLTS), but although they are adults, they start a very
corny relationship, and the sex (SEX) scenes are very weird. The
thing that I liked was the plot twist of the story, so I want to continue
reading the rest of the books of this series. The problem is that I have
to wait for the second and third books to come out, and I still don’t
know when they will be published (PÁBLISHT) in Spanish because
the second book is going to come out just this year.
Just = recién
Come out = salir (a la venta)
Still = todavía, aún
3. I resumed reading Percy Jackson and The Olympians. I finished the

first chapter, and I feel that it has been easy to understand so far.
There are some verbs or words that I don’t know, so I’m highlighting
these verbs, nouns, ádjectives, and prepositions with different colors.
It’s weird to mark a book, and it’s the first time that I do it, so I hope
that this works to help me learn English.

4. I found out that Justin Bieber is going to have a new concert in Chile
next year, and tomorrow is presale, so I’m going to try to buy them

like his music, but his 5th album was amazing to me, and I have been
following him since then. So, I already have two concerts that I want
to go to next year: Gorillaz and Justin Bieber.
My sister is very happy too, because she has been a Justin Biber fan
from the beginning. In fact, this would be the 3rd time that she would
see him live (LAIV).
live (adj)(LAIV) = en vivo

A live concert.
5. I read about a new exhibition at Movistar Arena, and I want to go. It’s
called Beyond Van Gogh, and it’s going to begin on December 8th.
According to its website, it’s a multisénsory (MOLTISÉNSORI) digital
experience, so I’m very excited because art and technology are two
things that I like a lot. The tickets aren’t very cheap, so I hope it’s
worth it = vale la pena
6. I watched Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. It’s a new
Marvel superhero movie, and I kind of liked it. It’s very predictable but
has good fights. What distínguishes it from other Marvel movies, is
the culture where it is set since the characters are mostly Chinese.

Tuesday, November 23rd
1. I’m very disappointed with the results of the presidential election. I

thought that Kast would advance to the second round, but I never
thought that he would get the first majority. I’m also very unhappy
because the Right has a parliamentary (PARLAMÉNTARI) majority.
2. My family and I went to meet my niece on Sunday. Although I’m not

a big fan of babies, I felt very cómfortable with her. She is my
cousin’s first child, and I’m very happy for him because being a father
had always been a dream for him. He wants more children, but his
girlfriend doesn't, so he accepts her decision.
3. My sister and I went to the mall to buy a gift for my mom’s birthday.
We bought a pair of sandals and a backpack to travel. My sister took
advantage of this visit to the mall to change two pairs of shoes that
she had bought online, but they were too small. We also went to
Antartica bookstore, and we bought a calendar for my mother and a
book for my friend whose birthday was last week. My sister bought a
book because the cover (COVER) was fuchsia, and the story was
kind of feminist.
Whose = cuyo
4. I’m very happy because Dexter, which is one of my favourite shows,

came back. I watched two episodes on the weekend. The story is
good so far, and I liked it because two of the characters from the
original series are in this season.
5. I was shopping, and I found a good deal on the six Dune books, so I

continue studying science. Despite our differences, we are very
close.

Paternitas. We colléct money (MANI) for them, and we organize

1. The audit ended on Friday with good results. Last week was very
intense, and I ended up very tired. The auditors found some non
conformities, but none for Chile.
2. I went to the mall on Friday after work. I was killing time because
I had to meet my voluntéer team in the evening. I bought a gift
for a girl who I sponsor at Fundación Nuestros Hijos. It was
difficult to choose a present for her because I only knew her
name and age. Also, because she has cancer, there are some
things that I couldn’t buy her, like certain foods or stuffed

Children And Youngsters Who Changed The World”. I hope she
likes it.

were at the mall and bought a Christmas gift for my sister and
one for my English teacher.
5. My family and I went to a bar on Manuel Montt called Pepperland

to celebrate my mother’s birthday on Saturday evening because

and brought his daughter Emma, so that my grándmother could

(HOUST). When they arrive on the island, they begin to die one

cancel the order, and complain about the situation, but the restaurant
didn’t have a number, so we couldn’t communicate with them to
cancel.
When we realized that the food wasn’t coming, we ordered

hamburgers from a vegan place, which arrived in about an hour.

I was in a meeting.
I’m preparing (PRIPÉRING) everything for my vacation, which starts

on December 20th and ends on Dec. 27th.
1. I’m very excited about next year because there are three
concerts that I bought tickets to: Justin Bieber, Gorillaz, and
Lollapalooza. I also wanted to buy a ticket to see Dua Lipa, but
the problem is that she is going to give the concert at a very
small place, so it will be very hard to get tickets.
: cólon
; sémicolon
2. My cousin is going to house sit and take care of my dog while my

family and I are on vacation. To thank her, I bought her a
massage machine because she had an accident two years ago
where she almost died. Fortunately, she recovered, but not
completely and lives with chronic muscular (MÁSKIULAR) pain.
I bought her a good machine because due to her constant pain,
it has been very hard for her to find a job, and the machine that
she had wasn’t so good. I hope this machine can ease (IS) her
pain.
Ease (IS) = alivar

Due to / because of = debido a
3. I’m very angry (ENGRI) with myself because I haven’t worked

out in the last two weeks, and I have eaten very badly. My plan
was to resume my healthy lifestyle this week, but I failed
because I got a box of candy from work, and I also ate a whole
bag of chips alone. I’m going to start my new life today.
4. I went to Homecenter to pick up the Christmas present that my

sister and I had bought for my father online. We bought him an
automatic screwdriver and a car polishing machine. Our idea
was to bring one of these two presents with us to New York and
open it on Christmas Eve., but they are big and heavy, so I think
that I’m going to make a note that says that it is redeemable
(RIDÍMABL) for a gift when we come back to Chile.
I went to + place + activity

I went to the mall to buy a present
I went to the pharmacy to get some medications.
5. I bought the New York Pass, which gives you access to

museums and tours because a friend recommended it to me. I
hope it is useful. We still haven’t made an itinerary to define what
places we are going to visit, and I don’t know If we have to make
reservations to visit certain places, so I have to find out about
that.
Make reservations = hacer reservaciones

Find out-found out = averiguar
6. I’m going to work until very late this week because I want to
finish all my work before my trip.
7. Last weekend, there were two illustration fairs. I wanted to go to

both of them, but finally I didn’t. I believe it was the best decision
because If I had gone, I would have spent money that I don't
really want to spend, especially before my trip to NY.
Fortunately, I’m very good at saving money.
8. My sister and I went to the Christmas fair near my house. We go

every year, but the only thing that we always buy is Christmas
wrapping (RAPING) paper and scotch tape. We always get
French fries too.
9. My sister went to a big outdoor comedy show at Plaza de Maipu,

but she didn’t wear sunscreen, so she got sunburned. Her face,
arms, and head got sunburned.
Get sunburned = ser quemado por el sol
I got a haircut on Saturday at a hairdresser close to here / near here.

I paid 5.000 pesos / it was 5.000 pesos
I didn’t do so much on the weekend.
On Friday, the campaign to collect Christmas presents for the kids at

Fundacion Nuestros Hijos ended succéssfully. We collected 50
presents for 50 kids, so we reached our goal / objéctive.
On Friday afternoon, I went to the mall to buy a Christmas present for

my mother. I got her a pair of earrings.
I’m done with all my Christmas shopping.
I’m done / I’m finished
End + things
Finish / done + people
On Saturday, I just relaxed. I watched TV shows, I read, and I played

video games.
On Sunday, I had to work since I’m trying to finish all my work before
my trip to New York.
We are flying to New York on December 19th (ninetéenth) at 11:00

pm, and we are coming back to Chile on December 26th.
We are going to be in NY only for one week because my sister doesn't

have any more vacation days since she started a new job recently.

3. My sister was working on Excél all day yesterday, but the

I’m going to get a PCR test on Sunday morning because they require
a recent PCR test to travel to the U.S., and then I’m going to vote.

1. As you know, my family and I traveled to New York last week.

Although we had some problems coming back to Chile, the trip
was amazing. We visited a lot of interesting places like The
Statue (STÁTIU) of Liberty, The Rockefeller Center, The Empire
State Building, The Top of the Rock, The MOMA, The MET, and
The Museum of Natural History. My favourite places were the
bookstores because they are very big and even have coffee
shops inside. However, there were things that were very ugly like
the subway, which is disgusting and doesn’t have good signs for
touris-ts, but fortunately, we didn’t have problems riding it.

because it would have been uncomfortable to go out in the rain
or snow.
4. We had some problems returning because in order to check-in at

the airport, they asked us for a COVID Test. We had gotten
(GATEN) two different COVID tests on the street, but the results
didn’t arrive on time, so we had to get a test at the airport. The
problem was that since it was Christmas Day, there was only
one person working, so it took us 5 hours to get the test results,
and we missed our flight. There were a lot of Chileans with the
same problem. Then, in order to change the flight, the airline
wanted to charge (CHARCH) us almost 800.000 pesos per
person!, but finally, after fighting for a long time, it was free.
In order to / to = para + verb
Get-got (GAT)-gotten (GATEN)
5. I feel very happy because I was able to understand and

communicate with people in NY thanks to my dear teacher, JP.

more and more books to read, but they were on sale, so I took
the chance (CHANS) to buy them. I also got 5 books at
Christmas. I’m very happy, but at the same time stressed
because I don’t have enough time to read them all.
Stressful = estresante
Stressed = estresado
7. I watched “Encanto”, the new Disney movie yesterday. I watched
it with subtitles (SÁBTAITOLS) in English, and I didn’t have
problems understanding the story. I liked it a lot because the plot
focuses (FÓUCOSES) on family love. The characters also have
superpowers, and I always love stories about that. The
soundtrack is very Latin and happy. I want to watch the new
Spiderman movie, but I don’t want to go to the cinema, so I'm
waiting for it to be available on Yifi.
I went back to the gym on Monday, and now my body is sore.

I also have a sore throat (ZROUT) from the AC at the gym, but it’s not
COUVID.
My family and I are still jet lagged (YETLAGT). We arrived in Stgo on

Sunday, and we got tested for COVID when we arrived at the airport,
so it’s definitely (DÉFINITLI) not that.
My body is sore = me duele el cuerpo por ejercicio.
My family and I are going to spend New Year’s Eve with my aunts and
uncles at my aunt Viviana’s house, who lives in Maipú close to us /
near us.
I don’t like going out with my friends on New Year’s. I prefer to spend
the holidays with my family.
Some people don’t like to go to clubs or big parties on New Year’s

because they are expensive and crowded.
Smoking is not allowed (ALAUD) at clubs anymore, but I still don’t

like them. I prefer to attend house parties.
Attend = asistir a
allowed (ALÁUD) = permitido.
On New Year’s Day (January 1st) I’m going to relax at home, and on
Sunday, January 2nd, I want to go to the cinema to see the new

Tuesday, January 4th
1. I had to go to work on Friday, but the company taxi didn’t arrive,

so I didn’t go to work, and I worked from home instead. After
work, my family and I went to my aunt Viviana’s house in Maipú,
to spend New Year’s Eve. Four of my nine uncles, my
grandmother, and many cousins were there. My cousin Carolina,
who is a vegetarian, made some vegan dishes for us. The party
was a lot of fun, and we danced until 4:00 am. My legs hurt a lot
the next day from dancing and going to the gym.
2. I woke up at 1:00 pm on Saturday because I was very tired. I

watched the documentary Harry Potter 20th Annivérsary: Retúrn
to Hogwarts (HÁGWORTS). It didn’t show anything so different
from others, but it was nostalgic. I was surprised that JK Rowling
didn't participate, and then I read that it was because of some
comments she made about trans people, which were very
criticized, and that’s why she probably decided to disappear for a
while.

Criticize (CRÍTISAIS) -criticized (CRÍTISAIST) = criticar

3. I watched the second Spiderman movie starring Tom Holland on

Saturday because my sister invited (INVÁIRET) us to see the
new Spiderman film on Sunday, and I hadn’t seen the second
one yet. I liked both movies because they both had a lot of
action, and the new one has a big surprise! The only thing that I
didn’t like about it was that there is a plot hole that is not
explained. I searched for an answer on the internet, but there
isn’t an official solution to this dilemma.
Search for / look for = buscar
4. I read Gideon, The Ninth by Tamsyn Muir. I bought this book

because its cover (COVER) was amazing, and then, when I read
the back cover (COVER), it seemed very interesting. The plot is
about a universe where necromancers (NÍCROMANSERS) live
on nine different planets. The émperor of this universe has nine
immortal necromancers called Lyctors, but because of the war,
he needs to get more Lyctors, so he órganizes a competition for
the nine planets in order to get the Lyctors that he needs. The
problem is that in this competition, the competitors begin to die,
and nobody knows why.
The book is called Gideon because she is the main character. I

liked the book in general, but at the beginning it was very slow
and confusing, however, I decided to finish it because of the
good reviews. I also have the second book of this series, but I’m
going to read it later since I have other books I want to read first.
5. I’m reading The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett. I have read three
quarters of the book, and it is very good so far. The plot is about
two black twins who live in a town where everybody is black, but
generation after generation they have tried whitening their skin
tone in order to avoid racism (RÉISISEM), so now they look like
white people, but they are not accepted by real white people in
other towns. The two twins leave this town, and one of them
disappears to impersonate a white person in order to have better
opportunities.
6. I want to make a list of New Year’s resolutions for 2022, and

challenge myself to read two books a month, and at least 4
books a year in English. I don’t know if it is a very challenging
goal, but I have nothing to lose.
b)I have a lot of muscular (MÁSKIULAR) pain from working out. /

Thursday, January 6th
1. I read some news about the situation in New York this week. A
journalist who was on vacation in NY with his wife missed some
tours because of the freezing cold. Another journalist in Chile
said that she was going to travel to New York, but the airline
cancelled her flight because of the rising COVID cases. I think
that I was very lucky because although we had some problems
in New York on our way back, it was a good trip overall.
(OVERÓL)
Rising (RAISING) = ascendente, en aumento, creciente
2. I got together with my friends from college yesterday at a bar

called Good Drinks in Barrio Brasil. We went there to celebrate
my friend Maxi who is leaving home for the first time. He is going

always fun to get together with my friends from college, and
yesterday was no exception.

3. Yesterday, my volunteer team and I went to Paternitas, which is

a foundation (FAUNDEISHON) that works in reinserting (RI-
INSÉRTING) ex-cónvicts and also with communities at risk. It is
hard for me to work with them because the two people who lead
this foundation are rich, so it’s weird to hear (HIER) them speak
about poverty.
4. I don’t know why, but I’m very sluggish and tired since returning
from holiday. I hope to get back to normal soon because I am
being unproductive at work, and I’m falling behind.
5. I got an email from work saying that they want us to work from
home five days a week again because of the rise (RAIS) in
COVID cases.

on vacation last week with his girlfriend, but at the last minute,

already, but he complained a lot, and his boss finally agreed to
return all that money to him.

Go on vacation = irse de vacaciones, tomar vacaciones
6. The last season of Shingeki no Kiojin is out, but I don’t know if I

manga comic. However, I will probably end up watching it
because there will probably be a lot of inténse fights that will be
amazing to watch.
7. My sister’s graduation ceremony is this week; however, she had

a big problem because due to the current COVID restrictions,
the university gave her only one invitation, so she couldn’t decide

were there. One of my uncles gave clothes to my cousin as a birthday
present, but he said to him that he didn’t like the present because it
wasn’t toys. It was a very honest (ÓNEST) answer, and it was funny
because he is only 5 years old.

2. I went to the nutritionist on Saturday morning on Pedro de Valdivia

Ave in Providencia. I’m healthy, but I need to cut down the

too. I also have to get a blood test to determine (DETÉRMIN) my
vitamin B12 and D levels.
3. I got together with my friend Camila from high school. We went to a

bar at Metro Cumming called Bohemia. It was fun. We wanted to go
to St. Patrick's, but when we arrived there, there was a big waiting
line. Then, we went to St. George, but it was closed due to vacations.
Then, I remembered one time that my family and I went to Bohemia
bar, so Camila and I decided to go there. We had French fries,
quesadillas and Chelada to begin. We continued with Mojitos, which I
liked a lot because they had green apple (ÁPOL) flavor, which is one
of my favorites.
4. I finished reading The Dune Messiah, and I liked it a lot. I liked it

because the author tells the story very directly, and although
(ÓLDOU) the book is old, the male and female characters are well
developed. I’m going to read another book before beginning with the
third of the Dune series.
5. I’m reading “La Hermandad de la Casa Grande” by Eduardo Perez

It was very different from other children’s parties.
I went to the nutritionist on Saturday morning, and she told me that I’m fine,
but I need to reduce body fat.
She advised me to cut down (CAT DAUN) carbs and eat more protein
(PRÓUTIN) like soy, legúmes (LEGIÚMS) for example chickpeas, beans,
and lentils (LÉNTELS).
Picky = mañoso
Soy (SOI) = soja
I eat hummus (HÁMAS) every week.

(ESPÉSHALI) for me.
She measured (MÉLLERT) my waist (WEIST) = Ella midió mi cintura
I’m going to the gym three times a week.
She told me to cut down carbs.

She recommended that I cut down carbs.
I finished reading The Dune Messiah, and I loved the ending, but the plot
doesn’t end there since there are four more books in that series (SÍRIES).
I’m reading La Hermandad de La Casa Grande by Eduardo Pérez Arroyo,

a Chilean author. I bought it because I liked what I read on the back cover.
The plot is about a crime that happens in Chiloé, and there are traditional
sorcerers and characters from the local mythology (MIZÓLOLLI) involved.
Wizard = brujo bueno
Sórcerer = brujo malo
I always wanted to read more Chilean authors, so now I’m finally doing it.
Crap = caca, basura
I don't like diréct (DIRÉCT) sunlight because I tend to get moles.

1. I finished reading the first volume of a manga comic book in English

on Saturday. I read it fast since manga comics have more images
(ÍMAYES) than text. The manga comic is called Witch Hat Atelier
(ATELÍER), and it’s written (RÍTEN) and illustrated by Kamome
Shirahama. The plot is very simple. It’s about a girl who dreams of
becoming a witch, and one day, her dream comes true. The first
volume is very introductory (INTRODÁKTORI), so I’m not very sure
yet what the problem or conflict is. I bought it because the story
seemed simple, and I wanted to practice my English with it. In
addition, the drawings are beautiful. I have 7 out of 8 volumes, and
I’m waiting for The Book Depósitory to send me the second one, so
that I can have the whole collection.
Wait for = esperar
So = así que
So that = para que

So that I can = para que yo pueda
2. I began watching two movies on the weekend, but I didn’t finish them.
The first was “The House”, which is about three families who live at a
house in different years, but the house is haunted (HONTET). It is
classified as a horror film, but I think it is more like a thriller. It’s a stop
motion movie, and it’s beautiful, so I’m going to try to finish watching
it next weekend. The other one is Tick Tick Boom, a musical starring
(STARING) Andrew Garfield. The plot is about a Broadway show
composer and his journey to reach fame and glory in New York. It
was very good when I began watching it, but I was sleepy, and that's
why I didn’t finish it. Maybe I will finish it this week.
3. God (GOD) of War (WOR) is a videogame that was launched

(LONCHT) on Playstation 2, and I remember that it was one of my
favorite video games years ago. Parts 2 and 3 of the story were
launched (LONCHT) only on Playstation 3, and I couldn’t play it
because I didn’t have this console. Part 4 was launched for
Playstation 4, and I couldn’t play it either for the same reason.
However, in January 2022, this part was launched for PC, so I finally
bought it and played it (PLÉIDET) a lot this weekend. The game has
a lot of action and beautiful images (ÍMALLES).
Launch (LONCH) -launched (LONCHT) = lanzar
4. I went to a clinic to get a blood test yesterday, and I already have the
results. I’m well, but like always, I have low levels of vitamin D. I know
that I never sunbathe (SANBEID), but I have been taking
supplements. I sent the results to my nutritionist, and I’m waiting for
her comments and recommendations.
5. I want to change my gym routíne. I usually go every Monday and

Wednesday after work, but I want to begin to go on Tuesdays and
Thursdays in the morning. I want to change it (CHÉINYET) because
I’m very tired after work, and I don’t have too much energy. Also, the
gym is more crowded after work than in the morning. I don’t know If
I’m going to be able to, but I’m going to try to stick to this new routine.
Stick to = apegarse a / cumplir
6. The author of SAO, one of my favorite animes ever, said that he

thinks that the story could continue even for ten more years, which is
good because I always suffer (SAFER) when a good story ends.
However, there are 23 published books in this series, and I might not
find the time to read them all.
7. I registered for a literary review course although it isn't useful for my

job. I want to learn how to write book reviews and have other points
of view to speak and review a book. It’s an online course that will
begin in February.
My boss is out of town (AUROFTAUN) on vacation this week, so I can relax

a little. He’s coming back next Monday.
I went to the gym this morning since I want to start going in the morning
instead of (INSTÉDOF) in the evening.
I prefer going to the gym in the morning because after work, I’m too tired to
work out, and in the morning, there are fewer people, so it’s better.
I got a blood test yesterday, and I got the results already.
Well = bien
Good = bueno
The results show I’m well, but I have a vitamin D deficiency (DEFÍSHENSI)

1. My mother went to the dentist to check if she could get brackets, and
the answer was yes. I’m happy for her because she had never
wanted to do it since she felt that she was too old for it. She got X-
rays, and when she gets the results she will be ready to start her
treatment. Because the pharmacy is close to the dentist, she also
bought anti-flea pills and pills for ticks and internal parasites
(PÁRASAITS) for my dog. After that, she was going to go to the
doctor, but he canceled all his morning appointments because a
family member just died.
Just = recién
2. I finally got volume 2 of the manga comic Witch Hat Atelíer today, so
now I have the 8 volumes that the author has released so far. I have
already read the first one, so I can continue reading the story now.
3. I’m testing the Audible app, which is an app to listen to audiobooks

(ODIOBUKS). I bought it because when I take the bus I usually read
books on my Kindle, but I’m afraid (AFREID) that it could be stolen.
So, now I’m listening to Sapiens (Seipeins): A Brief (BRIF) History Of
Humankind (HIUMANKAIND) by Yuval Noah Harari on my phone.
I’m going to be home alone this weekend because my parents and my

sister are going to the beach.

Maybe I will go to my friend Hector’s house on Friday evening. He’s my

1. I’m going to be home alone this weekend because my sister is going
to go to the beach, and my parents are going to go to my uncle’s
house in Cartagena. I’m going to stay at home because we don’t like
to leave our dog alone all weekend.
2. I made a complaint on The Book Depository because one of the

books that I bought in November hasn’t arrived yet. The customer
service was amazing, and they gave me a solution very quickly. They
gave me two options; one of them was a refund (RÍFAND), and the
other one was shipping a replacement of the book. I chose (CHOUS)
the second, so now I’m waiting for them to send the book.
Choose (CHUS)-chose (CHOUS) = elegir
3. I finished reading La Hermandad de la Casa Grande by Eduardo

Perez Arroyo. I’m happy because it is the first Chilean novel that I
read (RID) after a long time without reading a Chilean author, and it
was excellent. I have a lot of books that I want to read, but when I
finish them, I’m going to look for more Chilean authors.
4. I started to read Three Sisters (SESTERS) by Heather Morris. It’s a

historical novel about World War (WOR) II. The story follows three
Jewish sisters who make a promise to their father when they are
young, then their father dies. They grow up, and the War begins, so
they are sent to a concentration camp, and they fight to keep their
promise and continue to live. I have read three quarters of the book
so far, and I don't like it so much because I have read several books
about World War II, and the plots are very similar. Another problem
that I have with this book is that although the characters live a
traumatic (TROMÁRIC) experience, they are lucky and find “good”
nazis (NATSIS) that help them survive and stay together, which
seemed very unrealistic.
A tank top = polera musculosa
I’m not at home right now. I’m at my uncle's house because there is no

1. The Percy Jackson series was confirmed by Disney. I’m not a big fan
of these books, but I’m reading them in English to improve the

the TV Show is launched (LONCHT). I hope to finish all the books of
the series before the launch (LONCH) of the TV show.
Lunch = almuerzo
Launch = lanzamiento, lanzar
2. I'm a bit annoyed because I went to the warehouse on Monday, and

one of my cóworkers told me that he had a fever all weekend, and
continued to have a fever and a headache even on Monday, but he
couldn't get a PCR test because he is external personnél, so If he
had gotten a PCR, his boss would have deducted the day from his
salary. I’m írritated because my job has a supposedly very strict
COVID policy, but only applies to direct employees, which is unjust
and discríminatory.

3. I am turning (TERNING) 31 this Saturday. The sad thing is that we

have a benefit at work where we get a day off on our birthdays, but as
my birthday falls on a Saturday, I will lose this benefit. My mother

I’m reading “Harrow, the Ninth” by Tamsyn Muir. This book is the
second part of the “The Locked Tomb (TUM)” trilogy. I have had

that it was my problem, but then I read some reviews, and I realized
that this is normal and that everything will be explained in the end.
I have had…..so far = He tenido…hasta ahora

Tomb (TUM) = tumba
5. I got together with my friend Hector from work on Friday after work.

were very tasty (TEISTI). His son (SAN), who is studying to become

with my friends Nicole and Sebastián from college. It was a good get-
together because my friend Sebastian let us know / told us that he is
going to be a father and shared some problems that he is facing, so
getting together was good because he was able to get it (GERET) off

mojito. The mojito had a different flavor. It was a pineapple mojito, and I
liked it a lot.
They have ártisan beer at that place and they make their own beer too.
I had a good time with my friends. Sebastián is going to be a father in three

more months (MONS), so we celebrated that.
My friend Nicole is fine. She doesn’t have big problems and she’s happy at
work. She works at a hospital, and Sebastián works at a clinic.

was working, but he picked us up (PIKTASÁP) to go home. Then, we
went to a bar called Latte in Maipu, but it was the first time that the service
was terrible. The food took a long time to arrive, and we decided to cancel
the order.
I’m going to get together with my friend Ana from college tomorrow. We are
going to go to a lesbian bar on Santa Isabel Ave. called Chueca Bar. The
workers are only women, and the bar has a lot of vegan options and some
regular food, too.
My cousins, uncles, and aunts came to my house to celebrate my birthday

weekends sometimes.

Lixie wrote down all the things that she saw during her life in high school.
She had a lot of stories about her family, friends, and neighbors
(NÉIBORS). With this information she wrote a play that was shown at her
school. She had a casting and chose (CHOUS) the actors and actresses
that looked similar to the characters in her head. The theater was

Bad Bunny is going to perform a concert this year at the National Stadium.
He was going to perform only one date, but the tickets sold out in only two
hours, and a lot of people couldn’t buy them, so now he announced a
second date, and the tickets sold out very quickly again. My sister wanted
to buy them in a special location, but tickets were only available for the
court and grandstand, so she bought extra tickets for her friends in those
locations. On the contrary, my friend Alejandra, is very lucky because she

I finished reading a book that I liked a lot this weekend. It’s called Out of
Nowhere by Julia Navarro. It has a very uníque plot, so it was very
interesting to read. The story is about a fanatical muslim (MÁSLEM) and
the soldier who kills his family when he is a child. Their lives (LAIVS) cross
again as adults, and the soldier starts to chase the muslim to avoid new
terrorist bombings (BOMINGS).
Become-became = convertirse en, hacerse, transformarse en

He was bad, but then he became good.
Bombings = bombardeos, poner bombas

A fanátical muslim (MÁSLEM) was responsible for the 2001 bombings.
I have been listening to the Encanto soundtrack, there are some excellent
songs, and one is even a candidate for the Oscars. The song Don’t talk
about Bruno is the most popular song on Billboard and has surpassed
(SERPÁST) the song “Let it go” from Frozen. I like listening to movie
soundtracks. Two of my favorite soundtracks (SAUNDTRAKS) are The
Greatest Showman and The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
There are a lot of youtubers who make video unboxing of stationary.

China is a large and important weapon (WEPON) manufacturer, as well as

a participant in the illicit trade. Tina and Tom are CIA agents responsible for
investigating. They have been working together recently and they are
quickly falling (FOLING) in love. They frequently talk about their lives and
have a lot of interesting stories.
My cousin and his wife are going to live in Australia this year where she is
going to study English, and he will accompany her with their daughter. He
is a tattoo artist who wants to take a baking course to make cakes and sell
them in Australia, as well as continue tattooing. She is going to look for
work when they arrive. They have a dog and told us that it is very difficult to
travel with pets because Australia is strict about health documentation,
which takes about 6 months to prócess. His brother is going to take care of
the dog here in Chile while they get the certificate (SERTÍFIKET), and he
is going to send him to Australia when they have earned some money
since sending a dog to another country isn’t cheap.
Prócess-prócessed = procesar
certificate (SERTÍFIKET)
My cousin Roberto moved to a new apartment on a different floor of the

same building. He moved from the 7th to the 17th floor because this
apartment is larger, and with the birth of his child, the old apartment doesn’t
have the space that they need. He is terrified of earthquakes, so he doesn’t
know how (HAU) he is going to behave when there is one.
Earthquakes (ÉRZKUEIKS) = sismo, terremoto
How do you like it? = ¿Qué te parece?
-I like it a lot so far
My sister and I made chorrillana on Friday because we were home alone.

Brandon Sanderson's Stormlight Archive is a saga I'd like to read. I've read
four of his other books, and they're all fantastic. He is one of the most well-
known (NOUN) fantasy authors on the planet. The good thing about him is
that he writes quickly, so readers don't have to wait long for the story to
continue. On the other hand, George R Martin and Patrick Rothfuss' sagas
are still unfinished. The Stormlight Archive (ARKAIV) has released four
books so far, but the author hopes to release ten in total.
Archive (ÁRKAIV) = archivo
My sister went to the stadium on Sunday to watch Colo Colo and

Universidad de Chile. She got home very happy because Colo Colo won.
My parents and I were concerned because of the violence we usually see
on TV, but fortunately, there were mostly Colo Colo fans at the stadium, so
there weren’t any fights between fans of different teams.
Match / game = partido
Pam quit her job to follow (FALOU) her passion. She used to work as a
receptionist, but now she is studying Graphic Design. The problem is that
her boyfriend lives in a different city, and she misses him a lot. Long-
distance relationships used to be difficult in the past, but now that
everyone has a smartphone and access to the internet, keeping in touch
is much easier (ÍSIER)
Keep in touch = mantenerse conectado o comunicado
Esteban is in love with his coworker, and they used to have a secret
relationship, but she broke up with him because he killed her cat. She is
now engaged to another coworker, but I believe she still has feelings for
her ex boyfriend because they continue to have occassional sex. He gave
her an ultimatum (OLTIMÉITOM) to choose between him and the other
guy.
Break up with = terminar con

This is the final week of Sebastian Piñera’s présidency in Chile. It's a good
thing, but unfortunately he left power without any consequences after all of
(ÓLOF) his crimes. I have high expectations for Boric, and I hope he can
govern efféctively, although it looks difficult with everything that is
happening.
I don’t understand why I can watch a complete season of a TV Show

without stopping, but it’s very hard for me to watch an entire (ENTÁIER)
movie. There are several movies that I want to watch, but when I start
watching them, I lose (LUS) focos (FÓUCOS).
This week was my nephew (NEFIU) Esteban’s first week of school, and he
is very happy. His parents were kind of worried because he is very active,
and they didn’t know if he would be able to stay quiet in class. Also, he
doesn’t socialize (SÓUSHALAIS) much with children of his age because
there aren’t any kids living on his street. Fórtunately, he is adapting very
well, and he is enjoying going to school.
I went to an illustration fair in Providencia on Saturday morning, but it was

really crowded. I went by myself, but I thought it was going to be less
crowded. However, I enjoyed it (ENYOIDET) because I brought my kindle
so I read a lot while I was waiting in line.
It looked safe
Safe = seguro
Alone / by myself = solo

When I finally got in (GARÍN), I only had 50 minutes to look at all the stands
since they were trying to avoid big crowds, but it was enough time for me.
Crowds = tumultos, gentíos
I bought some drawings from some artists.
I keep all the drawings that I buy in a special folder (FOULDER)

In a row = seguidos
I like musicals a lot.
I’m still reading Never. It’s a long one.
1. I’m going to get the bracelets (BREISLETS) for Lollapalooza

tomorrow. I’m very excited because this will be my first time attending
this festival. I hope it will be an amazing experience. I would like to
listen to a few artists, and fortunately, they are going to be performing
at different times, so I won’t miss any of my favorites.
2. Pauline discovered that her husband was having an affair with her
daughter’s teacher. Their relationship was bad for a long time, but it
was painful for her to find out about it. She believes it occurred
(OKIÉRT) because she works long hours every day, but at the same
time, she feels that she didn’t deserve it.
Deserve (DISÉRV)-deserved (DISERVT) = merecer
Find out = averiguar
3. Tom and Tina finally got married (MERIT) after all the difficulties that
they suffered. They worked together, and their company didn’t allow
(ALAU) relationships between coworkers, so Tom resigned because
his family owned a business where he could work. They are currently
living in France, and they want to have a big family.
I’m going to go to the mall to get the Lollapalooza bracelets and then go
window shopping tomorrow.

Bears (BERS) = osos
Tuesday, March 22nd
1. In the new book (that) I’m reading, the sun’s temperature (CHER)
drops because of a new kind of life that is discovered. This is a major
problem and could mean the end of humanity. As a result, all
countries cooperate (COÁPEREIT) to try to avoid this. They build a
spacecraft and launch (LONCH) three astronauts into space. Only
one of them survives, but he is not alone because he discovers
extraterrestrial life, but they cooperate with each other because both
their planets face the same challenge.
Challenge = desafío
2. I attended Lollapalooza over (ÓUVER) the weekend, which was an

exhausting but very entertaining experience. I thought that the
organization was excellent and the punctuality of the concerts was
also a plus. Although the food and beverages (BÉVERALLES) were
kind of expensive, there were “hydration (HAIDRÉISHON) points”
where you could refill (RÍFEL) your water bottle. Another plus was
that this year the evént was held in Cerrillos, and a bus dropped me
off at the entrance in less than 30 minutes.
Kind of = un poco / más o menos
3. I'm happy because I'm collecting the books from a long saga. I had
been missing volume 4 and got it yesterday, so I now (NAU) have all
23 volumes that have been released so far. I haven't read (RED) any
of them yet because I have other books to read first, and these are in
English. I'd also like to finish Percy Jackson in English first because I
believe it has a simpler vocabulary.
4. My cousins are worried because my nephew started kindergarten,

and the teacher told them that he is a smart kid with a lot of
knowledge (NÓLECH), but he doesn't know how to follow rules,
which could make it difficult for him to succeed. For example, children
are required to wear a smock, which he doesn’t, and they are
required to do homework, which he doesn’t do because he doesn’t
want to. The main issue is that he was never taught rules at home
and he was always spoiled, so his parents are now attempting to
teach him how to behave (BIHEIV).

1. My mother always reminds us (RIMÁINSAS) to wipe our shoes

before entering the house because the ground on the street is filthy
(FELZI), and she doesn't want the floor to get dirty (DERTI).
Filthy (FELZI) = asqueroso
slippers (SLEPERS) = pantuflas
Sneakers = zapatillas deportivas
2. Kylie Jenner gave birth to her second child, Wolf. Social networks
were filled (FELT) with memes and mockery about the name,
although it is not a very strange name compared to the rest of the
family. She posted (POUSTET) a statement on social media (MÍDIA)
today saying that now that she has seen more of her son (SAN), she
doesn't think the name Wolf fits him, and she will look for a new one.
This is clearly (CLÍERLI) an effective marketing strategy since she will
soon begin a new season of her reality (RIÁLITI) show.
Mockery = burlas, mofas

look for = buscar
compared to = comparado con
3. Documents and forms should always be filled out (FEL-DÁUT) in ink

to avoid loss (LOS) and adulteration of information. It has happened
in the past that some people at work do this in pencil and then switch
to ink, but this is a practice that should be avoided.
Fill out = llenar (documents or forms)

Forms = formularios
4. I finished reading The Hail Mary Project, and I loved it (LÓVDET). I

can't remember another book that has made me laugh, has made me
happy, and has also made me sad. I've started reading Kim Jiyoung,
Born 1982 by Cho Nam-Joo, now. The plot is about a young woman
who is born at the end of the twentieth century, and her story facing
misogyny and oppression.
Face-faced = enfrentar
5. Daddy Yankee has announced that he will embark (EMBÁRK) on a

final world tour before retiring from the music industry. Social
networks are full of news and jokes asking the new generations not to
buy tickets and to leave them available to people from my generation
who grew up with him. I hope to be able to get tickets and go to the
concert with my sister and father who also like him.
I have a birthday party at my cousin’s house in Maipú on Saturday night.

I have gained weight, so I’m happy because it’s muscle mass and not fat.
I have been going to the gym three times a week for two or three months.
They gave me a routine that I paid for (PÉIDFOR) with exercises for the
month. I have to get a new one every month, so I have to pay $15.000
pesos extra each month. The gym is $18.000 a month, so I spend $33.000
pesos a month on gym stuff in total.
Spend money on things
Stuff = things
I’m making progress at the gym!
My initial goal was to get to 65 kgs, but now that I have reached this goal, I
want to go for more!!!
Reach goals = alcanzar metas
Get to = llegar a
I have a meal plan too, and I follow it 90% of the time.
It’s hard for me to follow it because I don’t like eating too much, so I
sometimes have to eat when I’m not hungry!
Éxperts say that food is essential if you are trying to change (CHEINSH)
your body.
“Ture” (CHER):

I have allergies all year, but only sneezing.
I’m allérgic to my dog, but I’m mostly allérgic to cats.
Tuesday, March 29th
1. I finished reading Kim Jiyoung (LLI-IÁNG) Born 1982 by Cho (CHOU)

Nam-Joo (LLÚ). I had high expectations about it because of the
reviews, and I liked it, but I don't think it’s a masterpiece. The book
has a thought-provoking plot about feminism (FÉMENESM) although
it’s not so different from other books that I have read. I believe that
the success (SAXÉS) of this book is because the book is written
(RÍTEN) by a female Korean author who comes from a very sexist
society where women are still oppressed.
different from = distinto a
Due to / because of + noun or noun phrase
The success of the book is due to its female Korean author /
The success of the book is because the book is written by a female Korean
author.
Thought-provoking (adj)(PROVÓUKING) = que hace pensar
2. My cousin graduated (GRÁLLUEIRET) from college yesterday, and

we went to her house to celebrate it. Her family and my family were
very happy and proud of her because we are very close.
3. Will Smith is a trending topic on the Internet because of the fight he

had at the Oscars. The fight started when the host made a joke about
Will's wife, which wasn’t well received by him. There are two opinions
about it. Some people think that it was an inappropriate
(INAPRÓPRIET) and even sexist reaction by Will, and others think
that the hit was well deserved because the joke was impróper.
Séxism (n) = machismo
Séxist (adj) = machista
well deserved (DISÉRVT) = bien merecido
which = lo cual
4. My family and I went to a barbecue at my cousin Luis’s (LUISES)

house on Saturday night to celebrate his birthday. His plan was to
invite some people to have tea at about 5:00 pm and others to have a
barbecue at night. The problem was that everyone arrived late at the
tea and ended up staying for the barbecue. Fortunately, he had
bought more meat than necessary because it was on sale, so the
food wasn't a problem.
End up + ing verb = terminar haciendo algo
5. My mom had a dentist appointment today in the center of Santiago at

3:00 o'clock in the afternoon. We were worried that something would
happen to her or that her appointment would be cánceled because of
the protests (PRÓUTESTS), but fortunately, she was able to get
there without any problems.
A club (CLAB) = una disco

I’m going to go out with my friends from college tomorrow evening, but we

I’m going to see my dentist tomorrow.
I’m going to see my doctor next week.
I need to see a dermatologist.
I’m going to see my friends from high school on Saturday night. We’re

Tuesday, April (ÉIPREL) 5th
At work = en el trabajo
1. I was reading a procedure at work, and I found that it had a

watermark from an online tránslator. This is very embarrassing
because we have an official translator at work. This is also bad
because the translation has a bad quality, and it’s necessary that the
document be legible and understandable to everyone.
2. Will Smith resigned from the acádemy after his fight at the Oscars,
and two of his next films were cánceled. I think that it’s a little too
much. I disagree with the aggression, but the other person was not
punished (PANISHT) for mocking someone's physical appearance.
Besides, he took this opportunity to increase the price of the tickets to
his shows by almost ten times.
3. The government has proposed a new policy that will not require the
use of face mas-ks in outdoor places as long as appropriate distance
is maintained. I'm happy about that because I believe it is time to start
eliminating certain (SERTEN) restrictions. However, there are people
who don't like this idea, but I feel that at this time it should be
vóluntary. I feel that it doesn’t make sense to have to wear a mask
outdóors anymore since the risk of getting infected is minimal
compared to indóors.
Require = requerir
Ban = prohibir
4. The new daylight-saving schedule began on Saturday, and as it does

every year, my agony began. I dislike this schedule since it gets dark
at 7:00 p.m., and I feel obligated to go to bed. Because there are so
many different scientific viewpoints on / about which daylight-saving
schedule is ideal, I've never been sure what ours should be.
Throughout (ZRUÁUT) the fall and winter I suffer with the weather
and the schedule.
Throughout (ZRUÁUT) = por todo

Daylight-saving schedule = horario de ahorro de luz de día
5. The current minister of education stated (STÉITET) that closing the

schools for so long was a mistake. Although I am a supporter of this
government, it is between funny and sad to see that the opposition is
always there to annoy, since in Piñera's government, they strongly
criticized the education minister for wanting to return to in-person
classes. Another example is that now the right wing supports the fifth
withdrawal after previously (PRÍVIOSLI) opposing it.
Let me turn on (TERNÓN) the light.
We went to Ciudad Vieja. It’s close to Baquedano station.
I ordered a veggie (VELLI) burger (BERGER) with French fries, which was
delicious. I also had two drinks. One of them had coconut (CÓUCONAT)
rum and coconut cream.
coconut (CÓUCONAT) = coco

rum (RAM) = ron
The other one was a sweet drink, but I can’t remember what it was.

discovered (DISCÓVERT) a phótograph (FÓROGRAF) of her kissing
another man. He asked her about it, and she confirmed that she had
another man, but the surprise was that she was married to this man.
Now, he isn't sure what will happen to their relationship.
3. I resumed jumping rope at home this week because my nutritionist

told me I needed to add cardio to my workouts if I wanted to see
better results. I had been going to the gym, but I hadn’t been doing
cardio, so I started doing it. When I jump rope, I always watch an
episode of a show to feel the time pass faster.
4. Andy and Helena were coworkers, and they were in a relationship,

but she ended it when she discovered (DISCÓVERT) that he had
been engaged to another coworker in the past, and hadn’t told her.
She suffered a lot because she really liked Andy, but she lost
confidence in him for hiding this information from her.
Hide (HAID)-hid (HED) = esconder
Plans:
I’m sure I’m going to go to the gym, but I don’t know when yet.

Maybe I will go to the cinema. There are two movies that I want to see.
One is Batman, and the other is an ánimated movie from Japán.
I want to start watching the Studio Ghibli movies because people and critics
say that they are masterpieces.
These movies are ánimated films made in Japan. People say that the plots

minutes after getting vaccinated.
Ready = listo para empezar

Done / finished = listo terminado
2. I’m sad because I watched an episode of The Office yesterday and I

found out that it is the last episode for one of the main actors. I

so good. I’ll still finish watching this show because I’m curious
(KIÉRIEOS) about what happens to the other characters in the end.
Episodes of a TV show
Chapters of a book
3. I had my monthly dentist appointment yesterday, and he gave me the

date when he is finally going to remove my brackets. I’m happy

quotations from Institutes to study English abroad (ABRÓD) with a
specific date now.
4. Michael (MÁIKOL) quit his job to move ín with his girlfriend, and his
replacement has already arrived. Everyone is attempting to like

to wait and see what happens.

We went to Prima Bar near Manuel Montt St. in Providencia.

like flowers in the spring. The drinks were excellent. I had two cocktails that
were originally created by them. We ordered a vegetarian chorrillana, which
was only OK because the fries were too oily (ÓILI) for me. We also
ordered Provoleta, which is bread and melted cheese, and finally roasted
mushrooms (MASHRUMS), which were good.

Thursday, April 21st

1. I finished watching The Office, and while the last two seasons were
not particularly (PARTÍKIULARLI) good in general, the final episodes
were fantastic, and I enjoyed each character's conclusion. One of the
main characters who had left the show in the seventh season
reappeared in the final two episodes, evoking nostalgia. I need to find
a new TV Show to watch while I jump rope now.
2. I was going to download (DÁUNLOUD) Batman from YIFY on Sunday

night, but I became ill with a fever, a cold, and a stomach ache, so I
preferred to go to bed and sleep. I woke up feeling slightly (SLÁITLI)
better on Monday but not completely recovered, so I chose to go to
bed early once more.
3. My friend is worried because she is undergoing a cosmetic procedure

to reduce fat armpit (ÁRMPET), but she is feeling pain and
discómfort, and that’s why she looked up the product that was used

dreams, but fortunately, they were able to solve their problems, and

attitude and thanked everybody for the gifts.

they celebrated their birthdays together on Friday evening.

My mother got them presents from all of us (ÓLOFAS), so I didn’t have to

worry about buying presents.
From = de, de parte de
The party was OK. It was a family birthday party.
I finally finished watching The Office, and I liked the ending a lot because

ending, and that was very cool.
I haven’t started to watch a new show yet.

appeared to be photoshopped (FÓUROSHOPT). The comments

week, she admitted (ADMÍTET) retouching (RITÁCHING) the
photographs but didn’t explain the reasons.

1. My sister and I went to see the new Harry Potter movie on Saturday
morning. The film was enjoyable (ENLLÓIABOL), but not the best in
the series. I felt that the removal of Johnny Depp (DEP) as the main
villain (VÉLAN) due to his legal battle with his ex-wife was one of the
factors that impácted the film négatively. The actor who replaced
Johnny Depp did well, but Johnny used to give a particular style to
the character. Another thing I didn't like was how the villains were let
off the hook, or at least how little was explained about what happened
to them. What I did like about this movie is that it’s visually gorgeous
(GÓRLLES).
let off the hook = dejar libre
2. I watched Heartstopper, a new TV Show on Netflix based on Alice

Hooseman's (HUSMANS) graphic novel of the same name. It’s a TV
show about young LGBTQ+ love, which I liked a lot because unlike
other shows such as Elite or Euphoria, it’s closer to reality. The actors
look like regular young people experiencing the typical issues of
adoléscence (ADOLÉSENS).
3. I watched the new Batman film on Friday. I had high hopes after
reading some positive reviews, and it exceeded my expectations. The
film differs (DÍFERS) from other superhero movies in that it is more
of a thriller (ZRELER), with a good balance of action and drama.
4. 2NE1 was one of the most (MOUST) famous and popular KPOP
groups, but they broke úp (BROUKÁP) in 2016, and their members
didn’t go on to have successful solo careers. However, their fans are
happy and hopeful now because at the last Coachella Festival, they
reunited (RIYUNÁITET) and sang one of their hits, so some people
think they might officially get back together.

My friend invited me to his birthday party tomorrow night, but I’m not going

3. My mother gave us several gift suggestions (SALLESTIONS) for

mother's day, and my sister and I decided to buy her makeup,
specifically a color-infused cream serum. It was cómplicated because
we didn’t know if the tone that we chose (CHOUS) was the right one
for my mother's skin tone, and makeup is impossible to return or

all day on Sunday. We had a cocktail party at home on Saturday night, and
we gave her gifts. My sister and I gave her makeup and a jewelry box. My
dad gave her a pair of slippers that looked like boots, a sweater, and some
face creams. To my sister, on behalf of my dog, who is like her son (SAN),
we gave (GEIV) her chocolates.
We had lunch at Los Buenos Muchachos at Patio Bellavista on
Sunday. This branch is new, and we wanted to try it because when we saw
it on TV, they said they had vegan dishes, but when we arrived, they told
us that they were still in the process of implementing them. My sister had
rice with salad, I had fettuccini with salad, my dad had a dish of steak
(STEIK), French fries, fried eggs, and onions called “Bistec a lo pobre,”
which is very popular in Chile. My mom had corn pie. However, my dish
wasn’t very tasty (TEISTI), and the noodles looked and tasted (TÉISTET)
stale (STEIL). But, the only important thing was that my mom liked her dish
since it was her day.
Then we went to the mall to pick up some headphones that my
sister had bought online and buy other things. We had dinner at Tavelli to
continue celebrating Mother's Day because they had some vegan options

1. My sister is happy because she got tickets for her and my dad for the
Daddy Yankee concert. The process of getting the tickets was
stressful because it was impossible to buy them for the first concert
because the system collapsed. The production company then fixed
the problem, but she couldn’t buy them either because they sold out
very quickly. However, as soon as the tickets sold out, they
announced that they would have a second concert date, and this time
she was able to get them. The madness to buy tickets was so big that
they announced a third concert, and the tickets sold out in one hour.

Mi nombre es Patricio Galaz, 31 año, Quimico Farmaceutico.
Inicié las clases en Marzo del 2021 para mejorar mi desempeño en el

trabajo, aventurarme a leer libros y ver series/películas en inglés.
Sumado al conocimiento, paciencia y empatía de Juan Pablo, mediante

ejercicios de listening, speaking, reading and writing, he podido mejorar mi
confianza al comunicarme en las reuniones laborales con personas de
habla inglesa y me ha permitido también enfrentar entrevistas laborales.
Respecto a la lectura de libros, también me ha dado las herramientas y
confianza para atreverme y he podido terminar algunos completamente en
español.
Las clases con Juan Pablo también me entregaron las herramientas para
mis vacaciones en Nueva York donde pude moverme sin problemas y
conversar con personas de la ciudad.
Ahora que siento tener un mejor nivel, me iré a estudiar inglés a Inglaterra
para seguir perfeccionándome.
En resumen, si buscas un profesor de inglés, recomiendo 100% a Juan

Pablo.

My name is Patricio Galaz, I’m 31 years old, and I’m a

pharmaceutical chemist. I started lessons with JP in March of 2021 in order
to improve my performance at work, venture into reading books and
watching movies and TV shows in English.
In addition to Juan Pablo's knowledge (NÓLECH) of the language,

his patience (PÉISHENS), empathy (ÉMPAZI), and punctuality, he has
helped me to improve my confidence when communicating during work
meetings with English speakers. Through listening, speaking, reading and
writing exercises, I have also been able to face job interviews in this
language. In terms of reading books, this experience has given me the
tools and confidence necessary to take risks, and I have read (RED) some
novels entirely (ENTÁIERLI) in English.
The lessons with Juan Pablo have also given me the skills I needed
during my vacation in New York last year, where I was able to move around
without problems and talk to people in the city. Now that I believe I have
improved enough, I plan to continue studying English in England. In
summary, if you are looking for an English teacher, I recommend Juan
Pablo 100%.
