Hello everyone, this time I am going to write about the public health system in Chile.

            Well, I have a lot of experience with public health, because I accidented on many occasions and my friends and family go to the public hospital.

            Firstly, I believe that the problem is the waiting time to be attended, I remember when a car ran over me, and an ambulance carried me to the hospital. I arrived at 9 pm to the hospital and I got attended at 1 am. I have angry and sad memories of this moment because I thought “wow today they have attended me in the hospital very quickly”, in comparison with other occasions.

            Secondly, I think another problem of the public health system is the waiting list because the people wait years for urgent operations. A lot of people die waiting for surgery. I remember when I needed to pull out my wisdom tooth because the tooth came in a bad position. The hospital said that I need to wait for a call from them for a date in maximum 6 months, and they called me in a year and a half. The worst thing is I knew that I was lucky for the date for the surgery.                     

            Finally, I believe that the biggest problem of public health in Chile is that people do not have money to pay for private health and they only have two options: to wait or to die.

  Hello, everyone! Today I am going to write about education. I am going to answer: Do private schools offer higher quality education or are they just prestigious? Well, I think that education is very important, but the educational system is very bad in Chile because of the educational goals. When I remember when I was a student the teachers did not prepare for life. They were preparing students to the test like “simce” or “PSU”. They were not bad teachers and they did not have bad students, but the students did not have an insured future. We started in a position of inequality, where anybody never gives something to them (inheritance, future, money, etc.). I think that the private schools often offer higher quality education, because the public education in Chile is horrible, so this comparison is simple, since the public education does not prepare for life, it only prepares the students to answer questions of multiple options. I think that the schools´s or the university´s presti...

  Hello everyone, this time I am going to write about one of my favorite video games. I chose this theme because I enjoy playing video games a lot and they are a very important thing in my life because the video games help me in this pandemic because they make me be relaxed. Well, my favorite video game is called Bloons TD 6, the game is about monkeys that go off balloons with darts, pistols, guns, magic, acid, etc. This is a real video game, it is very funny. It is a strategic video game, where you put monkeys in different places on the map and the bloons go on a road but you explode them before they  get to the end of the road. This game is very funny because the monkeys have different clothes depending on their class. The game has a system of leveling the monkeys where they unlock a lot of powers that improve the monkey´s skills.  My favorite monkey is named “ninja monkey”, he throws a lot of shurikens like Naruto. Also, I like pirate monkeys because he has a small shi...
