"The Viña Festival 2013" Trinity Task

                                      "The Viña Festival 2013"
                                                Trinity Task

A few weeks ago, the most famous festival of Chile, and Latin America, started with fireworks, lights and red carpets to the people, journalist and famous singers
As it was expected, the love song's singer Miguel Bose, was the band with more awards, wining the love of the people with his songs, and all gold and silver "gaviotas and antorchas". One of the best moments, as the people say, and as I say, is when the spanish singer, sing his famous song "Morena Mia", and reciving the affection of the people, started to cry.
But that was not all, cause the dangerous "monster" of the festival, started shout "boooo" to  Daddy Yanke, during the worst part of the festival, when the band was singing "Limbo"
The festival, with the bad and nice parts was fun, with a lot of adrenaline and singers that make you dance and get bored

                                         Section 1 - Task 5
                             Farlos: The Television Presenter


Dear Farlos:

Recently I heard, that you want to become a television presenter, and as my uncle is that, I want to give you some tips

A television presenter, always speaks well, and know how to improvise if a problem happens, so keep that in mind if you want to. But it's not too easy, cause you may have bad partners that can bother you...

Anyway, I know that you will be successful, cause you have the personality to do that

Good Luck,

Diego

                                            
                                 Section 2 - Task 2
                                      "Leisure Centre Problem"

The other day, I went to the recently opened leisure centre, that have the simple task of keeping fun people, but instead of it, people are not enjoying and is not happy with the centre.

The reason of this is easy, cause in my opinion, the games are boring, the prizes are too expensive, the attention is bad, and also the games that can become fun looks dangerous and old. But there are many solutions to make this centre a fun, like put a type of quiz at the entrance to know what the people like.

In my opinion this centre can become attractive with what the people like, some good prizes to attract the children, and some good games that don't look dangerous to the parents.

Hope you can do this centre fun, because is my opinion isn't

                                 Section 2 - Task 5
                                                 The "goal" of Castillo

This Sunday, at the football match of "Universidad Católica-Colo-Colo", we can see 5 goals scored in total, three for the U.C team and two for Colo-Colo.
But most of the people, including me, can say that the match should have ended with one goal more to U.C, because at the minute 73, Nicolas Castillo the sub-20 Chilean player and also the goalscorer of the team of Católica, received a pass that lets him alone with the goalkeeper, that instead of trying to stop the strike of Castillo, ran to him to grab his legs making the scorer fell to the ground, stoping create the 4-2, something that is not acceptable...

This was a foul, that was with no punishment, and with an easy solution, like put another refer near the goal

                                                "Rolo's Party"

Last year, it was Rolo's birthday and as he never got a party to celebrate it, I decided to organize a surprise party for him.
To organize it I invited all of his friends, that had to bring to the party something to eat and the gift,  as any normal birthday party.
All was ready for Rolo, who was near his home where the party was. When Rolo entered his home, we all found a place to hide to surprise him, and when the moment came, we surprised him with a big scream of "HAPPY BIRTHDAY". Rolo started crying of happiness...and then started dancing like Michael Jackson, his favorite singer

Save your Life, eat Healthy!
The ultimate food guide, to eat healthy:

Guidelines of Healthy Eating:
Most school people, think that is a moral thing eat healthy, but is a fact that "The Departments of Healthy and Comunity Services and Education" do guidelines to eat equally and healthy.

The guidelines are based on the nutrition piramid, that usually told us not to eat the bad things that people eat. To do what the pyramid says, you have to eat at diferents times of the day, and the most important is your breakfast, and also the snack, were a lot of the people eat junk food.

The snack, is a usual lunch at people, especially for the children, that became fat and obese. But is not only his fault, but the parents, who gives the children the food, ignoring that in the future, this can be danger for their children. Vegetables and fruit, especially the last, is a good snack, that people can eat, cause this things have a lot of key nutrients like fibre, vitamin A, vitamin C, folate, iron, B vitamins and magnesium. Also the doctors, recommend eat this things at least one time at the day.

But fruit and vegetables aren't the only type of food that is recommended. Also it is recommended to eat:

• Grain Products: That have iron, B vitamins, and magnesium - Recommended to eat at least one time-
• Milk and Alternatives: That include vitamin A, D, protein, zine, magnesium, riboflavin, and vitamin B12. But drink it 1 or 2 times each day
• Meat and Alternatives: That content a lot of protein, and also iron, vitamin A, vitamin B and zine. It can taste good, but eat it just what you need, or mix it with a salad.

These things are the most recommended, but ear it with a limit, cause all things in excess are bad. Mix things and have a balanced diet, make sure that you still ear all this things at least one time in the week.

Try to promote this in your children's schools, for example, with offer fruits cups in the school canteen, cafeteria and vending machines, sold dried fruits in kiosks. Finally is your decide , take the initiative, and save your life, and the life of the others of diseases. But be careful, before you buy food, take a look to the nutrition labels, and prevent allergies...

Take the right choose, eat healthy.

Here is the article, that I will give me opinion: http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/0/22019289

As the article say, how our mother behaves during pregnancy, can affect, our born. For example, if our mother, have healthy life, eating well, without smoking, and drinkin alcohol, and going outdoors, in the pregnant 9 months, can makes us a happy person, but if the mother's choices, are opposite, we can have physical, risk of obesity, diseases, and someting else; so if you will be a mother, try to have a healthy life, and dont get stressed, for your child. But there is also a touch of luck, as the doctor say, we live what we life, and we are healthy, cause our DNA.

But most of the studies, say that parents, give his childs, junk food, and that is bad, cause besides causing obesity, with time, it can cause us a heart disease. To prevent that, in my opinion, fruits are a good way, also some vegetables, at the lunch time. Milk, is also good. When your child grow up, he will not have bone problems, cause he will have a lot of vitamin D obtained from milk. This is a very important topic, that usually people dont "understand", so the next time, that you will go to the market, try to dont buy food with a lot of Trans-fats...

That part of the work is always hard, speacialy today, cause the sun was doing our work to long. But we finished that, and we started to put the stones of the surface of the road. irs funny to me do that cause we have to made the surface of the road shaped into a camber so the rain water can run off into the ditches, and I like to do that. i simple words, it was a normal day...
