My free time

Actually I feel that I don’t have enough free time. At university I have a lot of things to do, a lot of assignments and many books to read. For that reason I think that have to use my time well.  
Usually I spend my free time playing guitar. That’s my favorite hobby. Also I like listen to music or watch a good movie. If I have a lot of free time I usually read a book, I like it, but it’s not one of favorite hobbies. If I’m outside I like to do all kinds of sport. One of my favorite is riding a bike; it’s very exciting and also very healthy.
I remember when I was child I used to play with my dog. I spent hours playing with him. Actually I would like to try skydiving, it is an activity that I always want to do. But I think that it’s very expensive. So I will save money and fulfill my dream !

Bruce Trigger


Bruce Trigger was an important Canadian archaeologist, anthropologist and etnohistorian who worked in the history of archaeology. He was born in 1937 in Canada and die in 2006. He received a doctorate in archaeology from Yale University in 1964 and then he worked as a teacher in North-western University.
He wrote a book about the history of archaeology called “A History of Archaeological Thought”. In that book he explains the birth of archaeology, in the book he says that in the past the way of make archaeology was very different and was influenced by catholic religion. Also he explains all the changes that archaeology experienced through the years. Those changes are very important because they help us understand the current work of archaeologists. 
His archaeological theory talks about how the social and political contexts of research effect archaeological interpretation. For example he says that some
archaeological interpretation reflected and legitimated stereotypes of Native American peoples and expressed the dominant political ideas and interests of Euro-American culture. This idea is very important, because reflect the importance of make a good archaeological interpretation.
I like Bruce Trigger because their works help to explain the importance of the archaeological work and the influence that it has in the society.

Music in my life

Music is very important in my life, I hear music every day and also I play a lot of instruments. My favourite instrument is the guitar and plays it every day. Play music is a means of expression for me. Also music makes me feel better when I am sad.


I like a lot of kinds of music, but one of my favourite is rock. I like classic rock or alternative rock. I dislike pop music because it is meant to make money. My favourite singer is Jimi Hendrix because I change the way of make music. Practically he create rock music.



I have my own collection of music that I have made for many years. I have albums of a lot of national and international groups. For that reason I rarely listen to radio. I think that Internet is very important source of music, all the music that I have, I´ve get from Internet. I think that the best of download music from Internet is that you dont need money, is free!!


Music with special meaning for me is the chilean floklore music, because it remember our history and is an important part of our culture. I think that folklore music will never be forget and it will be always part of our culture.


For my conclusion about music I want to say that the word would be terrible without music, because I think that music is a very important way of expressing culture and feelings.
