Correcting Benjamin

So, here is the Benjamin's post about the movie "Twelve Monkeys"... I'm doing this one because I saw the movie not so long ago and I really liked it, so here it is:

There are so many movies that are really good and that I like! But there’s one special, I don’t really know why, but I always think about this movie as my favorite. This movie it’s called “Twelve Monkeys”. The first time that I saw it I was like 8 or 10 years old. The movie it’s about a future (it was filmed in 1995 and it was suppose that the future in that time it was 2003) in which all the human kind was attacked by a new kind of virus wiping out the 99% of inhabitants of the earth. The survivors’ hided underground, in an authoritarian and violent government. So the scientist of this time created a time machine so somebody can travel to the time before the first infection of the virus (1993) so they could create a cure and find the responsible of the destruction of the human kind. So James Cole (Bruce Willis) it’s selected to do this travel through the time because he haves more resistance to the consequences of the travel, in which the mind starts to play tricks on him.  In the first travel there was a mistake and he ended in a mental hospital where he meets the Dr. Kathryn Railly (Madeleine Stowe) and a real lunatic called Jeffrey Goines (Brad Pitt, one of his first movies). The fun part of the movie it’s that you don’t know what the movie it’s about at the beginning, and also you don’t know if the main character it’s living in a real or an imaginary world. It’s pretty confusing… I think that’s why I love this movie!


And here it is my corrected version:

I hope I did it well correcting this.. if not, then you are welcome to do a correction of the correction.

Bye.

London Trip

Last week as I imagine you remember we had to plan a trip to London, what would be the activities that we would do there, what places would we visit, how much each activity would cost and how would we get there on subway or metro as I think British call the underground train system.

Personally I found this activity quite interesting, not because of all the things that London have to offer to tourist, because I believe that if you look for fun activities you can find them anywhere on any country you visit, I found this activity interesting because as I was completing the table with the program for the activities you kind of imagine how that experience would be like. I don't know if it happens to you but you can kind of imagine yourself visiting the places you were writing them down.

One of the things that I found more attracting was this night ride that the London Eye got to offer, I really think that that should be one really great and unforgettable experience to do on a London visit as a tourist. Now about the activity itself, I found it really easy, I think it was no problem for me at least to get the information from the different sites, because it doesn't matter if you are planning a trip or just searching for information to study some specific topic you kind of always end up on a site that it's completely in English, so you know you have to look for keywords such as "how to get there" or "getting there" for this case, so i think that there was nothing hard about getting the information, but the really work came when you tried to found how much would it cost to do each activity, because most of the time they have different prices if you were going with a group or if you were going on witch date or even if the activity was free, it didn't really mention it.. So you kind of got to guest.

But in general it was a great activity and now I really hope that I can go to London someday.
