Terra.cl: A funny site for journalism students and people

Internet is very important today for students, specially for journalists. I, like as a aplicated and a smart journalism student, I visit every day news sites for knowing which are the most importants facts of day. One of these sites is terra.cl

Before I enter to University, I almost never red digital news sites. I always red newspapers, like as "El Mercurio" or "La Tercera", the papers in Chile with more presence. I had listened Terra in entertainment TV programms , but, perhaps by weakness, I don't know really, I never visited this interesting site. But one day, I was bored in front of my PC. I didn't know what to do. So, I entered to Terra and it had the recently news of economy, politics , entertainment, horoscope, women, etc. And I started to visit terra every day I can and I can inform myself very well.
Specially, I always see television section, with all news of "1810". Visiting Terra, I have been able to know who are the last eliminated participants before watching the show and know more and more pieces of gossip in our little chilean tv.

Sometimes, when I have more time, I read my horoscope, women articles, goverment news and watch videos, generally about of rings in "1810" xD. But when I am so busy or hurry, I read only recent news and one of TV.

I invite to my dear classmates to visite this site more frequently. The information is presented very clear and easy for reading. Also, Terra has a videos section with differents things, for example, ministers and president declarations, how we can save money in this crisis, the last news and words of famouse people, of 1810, like as Coca Mendoza´s problems inside and outside the programe (His "affaire" with Janis Pope, Eliana Albasetti and his lover and son off marriage) for more gossip pepole.

Aside of Terra, I enjoy visiting other sites, like as animé, manga, facebook, youtube, gmail (for check my mail) but know the last facts of day, for us journalists, is fundamental today and in our jobs in next years.

Introducing myself.

My name is María Paz Donoso. I'm 19 years old, and I live in a beautiful house in Rancagua city. I live with my mom and my brother.


I'm a journalism student because I'd like to know how mass media work, and their effect among the people. Mass media are opinion-creating tools, that can be used to watch over the exercise of power by the powerful ones, and I expect to use media to empower people.

In my free time, I love to watch anime and TV, in general. I love anime conventions, although they are beginning to look boring, in my opinion. They are repeating themselves every and every time, but I still go to major anime conventions (Anime Festival DX), with japanese artists like Masaki Endoh and Hironobu Kageyama.

In my house I have a cute cat. Recently I borrowed another cat, who had kittens. They were so cute! Now they are young cats, not used to humans.

I expect that this English course helps me to learn those pesky details of this language, that I always forget, and also, that it helps me to enhance my speaking abilities. I need to speak more English, because I dream to travel outside Chile. I'd love to go to Europe and North America, and there I'll need to speak English better than I currently do.
