Wii's controller will be wireless and will detect motion as you move it, it will also have different types of controllers, a classical, a shotgun, and connectivityto the Gamecube controller. Wii, will be launched at November 19 of this year.

Some charateristics of the Wii are:

  1. It will be very small, like three cases of DVD movies and can be placed horizontaly or vertically.
  2. Wii can be connected to Internet by Wi-fi, you can play with many people in the world. Wii can also be connected to Nintendo DS.

I can't wait for Wii to be launched. I think it will be very cool to play with you own movements, technology of today is increasing a lot and things are getting better. I would like to have a Wii because I think it is very interesting and the games that are told to be launched sound to be really good. Wii will change critically the way people has seen video games and this will prove how much technology is today. Here you can find more info about Wii.

My Story Draft

"Finally!" George celebrated after a boring day of school. It was a Friday, but George didn't have plans for the day and went to play at the computer. He was bored and just stayed for an hour waiting for somebody to call and give him a plan. "You came late today" George said to his little sister that had just arrived from her school, "What a hard day!" his sister answered. His sister was called Annie, she liked to bother, play, and have everything for her, "Give me the computer" she said naturally.


"Hello, today your father and me are going to a hotel!," George's mother told him, "But mom" both George and Annie said. George's mother was organizing the bag, "Are you ready to go?" dad asked to mom, "Just a few minutes." George went to the room where his sister was and said "I got nothing to do so I'll play videogames." Oh my God is my sister's game, George started to play, so Annie went to tell George "May I play?""Hey what are you doing, I took the game and you are on the computer" George said, Annie got mad and went to her parent's room and stayed still like if she was going to die. After a while George had been done with the game, he went where his sister was "I'm done playing, you can play now but please don't take what I use" George pleaded, but his bad luck came and stopped the game because they had just repaired it from a problem it had.

When Annie came to see the game, she saw that it had stuck in the moment and said "Hey its not working, you did something to it" "You can't accuse me in that way, I just went to get you and the game just got stucked" George answered. She went back to her parent's room and continue acting the way she was before. Her dad saw her and started to get mad, "George!" he called, "What did you just do to your sister, why is she acting like that." "I know he did something to it, he knows it" his sister didn't want to admit that the game had stuck by itself and she knew that the game couldn't be stopped that easy. Dad called George and started the big show "We can't go out tonight, we don't know what this boy can do to his little sister" dad said to mom. "I swear I didn't do it, I'm not going to hit her" George wanted to tell he was innocent, but his dad didn't believe him. "Please, believe what I am telling you right now" George tried to tell his dad the excuse, but he couldn't.

After a while in the fight, "George didn't do something to make his sister cry" George's mom believed in him because she knew when their sons lied. Even though George's mom explained what really happened, dad " I don't want excuses" he answered. It was so much that father rejected excuses that they cancelled the trip and mom got very sad because she really wanted to go. It wasn't fair and Annie didn't helped until they cancelled making herself look like if she was trying, but that wasn't enough. Dad just went to talk with his sons and telled them "I hope this happen again, next time this happens you are both going to be punished, this was just a warning."

Chile World Champion in Women Ice Hockey

Here there is an article I found in Xinhua written by Pliny Han, it is about the Hockey Women's World Cup:


"SANTIAGO, Oct. 8 (Xinhua) -- Chile won the world ice hockey championships for
women on Sunday, after beating Spain 2-1 in San Miguel's Olympic Gymnasium.

Ahead of the competition, Rodrigo Quintanilla, the Chile squad's coach,
told media his only goal was to be in the top 10 of the competition, but
solid
team work and determination took them to the top.

Sunday's
winning goals
were the work of Francisca Puertas, who scored a powerful
equalizer, and
Fernanda Urrea who scored the "golden goal" on the
rebound
from a puck sent away
from goal by the Spanish goalkeeper.

The
Spanish team failed to convert
two penalties thanks to great
goalkeeping by
keeper Constanza Reyes, but scored
the game's first goal
in the opening
minutes of the second half, thanks to Carla
Guidicci.

Chile's path
to gold began with a 4-1 victory over England.
The
team also beat
Switzerland 3-2, after losing 0-2 to Argentina; and with two
victories won
through to the second phase.

In the knockout
phase, the
Chileans
beat Colombia 3-2 with a golden goal, then beat
Portugal 4-3 in the
semi
final and on Sunday beat Spain in the final.

The competition that
ended on Sunday is the eighth edition of the
championship. It began on Sept.
30
with 16 teams. Argentina, England,
Switzerland, Chile, Brazil, the United
States, Colombia, South Africa,
Spain, Germany, Australia, Macao, Portugal,
France, India and Italy."

My favorite sport is soccer and is the only sport I watch. I don't pay attention to hockey, but I like that my country is World Champion in a sport. I think that it is an honor for Chileans to have talent for a sport and being the best. It seems that it was a hard competition because this countries are really good at sports. Chile after winning this title, we became the world's champions at the Rally competition. My country has been First place in 5 sports, they are:

  1. Tennis
  2. Ice Hockey for Women
  3. Rally
  4. Underwater Fishing
  5. Horse Riding

I am proud of my country because everyday I hear new good things about it and I feel very happy of being Chilean.


A Bad Vacation

Wow,1 imagine you have a summer vacation you are going to England. In the airport,2 your father gives you his bag. The bag has documents, credit card, and some money.3 When you are getting into the airplane you get the wrong boarding pass and you are taken to the USA. You start thinking that this can be a great vacation with money to spend in a great place, you get happy, get impatient, and you imagine all what you can buy.4 The problem is that you are sitting next to a fat man that gets a saliba river in his mouth and you almost touch it, in the other side you have a strange guy that stares at you all the time.

5When you are going out of the airplane, the strange guy talks to you in a 6friendly, strange, and polite way. 7Sitting next to him in a restaurant, he invites you to eat 6fabulous, delicious, and great food. Then he talks, he looks at your bag, and you eat without noticing the worst thing that could happen.8 The guy suddenly tells you he is going to the bathroom, but he takes your bag and runs out of the airport. The guy of the restaurant tells you to pay, but you don't have money so you have to work washing dishes, very dirty dishes. Suddenly, you feel your stomach is reacting to something, you need to go to the bathroom but all of them are closed, the only solution is going to the girls bathroom. When you get inside it was full of women and you get embarassed and you run. At the end, when you think nothing worser can happen, you open your eyes and discover it was just a dream, Oh My God!

My Mistakes

When I make mistakes I have different ways of reacting, depending on the situation. One of my bad habits when I try to solve problems is that I have no patience and I try to do things faster and the problems can get worse. Sometimes when I am under pressure I might get ideas, but they may not work so good. When I have a lot of time to reflect, I think of many ideas, then I ask to somebody for help and we can chose the best way of solving.

One time I had a problem was in 5 grade, when I had a group project and we leave it until the last day. That day we couldn't meet in a house because my partner didn't have somebody to take it to my home and I couldn't go to his house neither, and we didn't even have the materials! He wasn't preoccupied for doing it, I had entered into desperation and didn't know what to do.

As time passed I had already done the story I had to put in my project, but I still had to make the most important part that was to make a story in a box, so when you rolled the tube the story could be seen. When my mom finally arrived, I started to tell her the story about my problem, she was angry, but she decided to help me because it was the only solution I had thought to do.

It was almost midnight, we were all falling asleep and the project wasn't even finished. I went to my room to sleep, but I didn't notice that I still had to do some things to my project, but I was too tired to do it.

The next day, I went to the bathroom to take a shower and get ready for school, when I got out of it, I saw my project finished and ready to take it to school. When I had the class with my teacher and I asked for the project, so guess what, it was for the next day, I wanted to die because I spent the whole day working on it. So from that day, I never leave group projects for the last day, and I even got a good grade on it, but I don't think we deserved this grade because my partner didn't work and I received a lot of help of my mother.

A Cool Movie


On Friday I went to get a movie that I had had to turn back for Saturday. The movie I saw was called "I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer". It was about some teenage friends that wanted to make a joke for June 4. The joke was to make a guy dress like a legendary fisherman that killed teenagers that hided secrets. When the fisherman appeared, everybody got scared, and a friend with a skate started to escape. In the joke, this guy had to jump from a high building down to some matresses so people would think he died. The problem is that somebody moved the matresses, they don't know who, so the guy fell into a truck and was covered entirely with blood. As the guy was dead, the friends were laughing and the guy that was dressed as the fisherman said that his hook was the same of the legend. When they got to check to his friend, they noticed what had really happened, something had caused his death.

After the tragedy, the friends went to a bonfire and swear not to tell the truth about the joke and what caused his death.

One year later, about 4 days before the aniversary of the joke's death, somebody started to send messages that said "I know what you did last summer", but the phone could't tell where they come from. Those four days, the friends were really scared and didn't know what to do.
Everyday, one of the friend's was attacked by the fisherman.

This was a cool movie, it is the third from it's series. I have watched the three movies and when you see the first 2 movies, you don't get so scared in the last one. I like these kind of movies that they kill people like in a legend. I have heard many stories of some assassins or monsters that appear in some time. I like to hear these kind of stories because I get anxious to know what and how it happens. When I saw this movie, I remembered when I saw the second one. All the lights in my house were turned off and we were with my uncle. When we were about to sleep, my uncle came covered with a dark mantle and a hook in his hand, it was really scary. As he got closer to us, he started to say "I know what you did last summer". It was very funny when he started to laugh about his joke. I would recommend people to see this movie because I know they would like it and talk about it.
