  "Porotos con pirco" is a typical Chilean dish that consists of beans, corn and squash. All in a soup of the same cooking.  The name is of Mapuche origin and derives from the word PIDCU, which means beans cooked with chopped corn.  Personally, the crunchy of the corn when eating, is my favorite part of the dish, and I love that at my house they are eaten in summer, my favorite season! that gives it a special meaning. But, the best "porotos con pirco" that I have tried are the ones that my mother cooks, because the colored chili that she adds, gives it a unique flavor. Also, this dish has a positive impact on my health, because everything is organic and fresh, nothing is frozen or preserved, and i live in an agricultural region, so all products arrive direct and I can easily buy them from local farmers. 

  My favorite piece of technology is my tablet. A tablet is an object which works like a computer, but is lighter and cheaper. I got mine a few months ago, in October, and i use it almost every day for drawing and connect to online college classes. I also play online games with my friends in my free time, because we can't see each other because of the pandemic, so playing makes me feel in company. About drawing, i love the electronic pen that is included too, because it allows me to draw like on paper, but with the new tools and without having to buy a graphic tablet. I could use my computer to do these things, but my computer takes a long time to connect to the internet and it doesn't have as good a camera as my tablet. Without my tablet, i would waste a lot of time that i could use creating, working or talking to my friend, and quarantine would be stressful.

 Hi! I study Theatrical Desing but to get to this career I went through many others. First, when I was a kid I wanted any artistic career, It didn't matter what it was.   When I was 10 years old I started studying flute, and obviously I wanted to dedicate myself to music all my life. When I was 15 years old I gave up the music and I started the dance, I studied ballet, contemporary dance and jazz dance. I loved dance and wanted to be a professional dancer. But I still wasn't sure.  I used to make costumes for my work at school, I made a Don Quixote costume for book day, I made a wolf grandmother mask for English and also made the costume of the little prince for a literary cafe.  And in my last year of school I knew the career "Theatrical Design". It has everything I liked, makeup, costumes, drawing and I can have contact with musicians and dancers!  When i did the PSU I just only applied for Theatrical Design in Universidad de Chile. It was the only thing ...

I'am Paloma Martínez, I'm 20 years old. I was born in San Vicente de Tagua Tagua. For me, getting into university was difficult, I have dyslexia and they're things that I find difficult to understand. But, here I am studying Theatrical Design at the Univeridad de Chile. About my family, i live with my mom, she is chef and she has a cafeteria. I have an older brother, Dante, he is 24 years old. He is a musician and won a scholarship in "Escuela Superior de Música Reina Sofia" in Spain. Also, i have a two little sisters, Vittoria is 16 years old. Vittoria is very smart, she loves painting. And Alma is 8 years old. She is a very good lector.  My hobbies are dance, but I don't have space in my house to practice and drawing, I do it whenever I can. Tt also helps me in my career. Finally, I leave you a drawing of me. Regards!

It is not safe to deliver your personal data to the Internet, because the fraudsters can use them to get your pin number and security information. In Chile, for example, there is no protection of personal data, not even laws and people have to learn by themselves. For me, I would never post my cell phone number on social media or my adress. Also, my family has a secret password in case of fraud or kidnapping. We are aware of the risk.
