Dear Sir,
I am writing to ask for some information about the scholarships in your university. And also could you give me some advices about the accomodation, facilities an the main tourist attractions near the campus. A friend and I are moving to your city, we live on the countryside and we don't know anything about the capital city.
At first, I would like to know more details of that famous scholarship. Could you tell me about the conditions to achieve it? I think that I have good marks to enter, but I do not know if you need more information about my economical status.
however I have checked some hotels out, I still feel insecure about the accomodations in the city. I also heard that are some rooms in the campus. What kind of facilities to these rooms have? My friend and I are looking for a double suite.
Aditionally, you said that the campus is near the downtown. Could you give me some details about the maiun attractions there? Maybe a museum, cinema, etc.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully, Dear Sir

Music heals people
Nobody can question the fact that music changes people, but nowadays some experts state that can also cure some illnesses. Music has the capability to restore the lacks people have lost.
At first the sound waves produced by playing music are transmitted from the music player to the ears of the listener, these sound waves have an effect on the neurotransmitters (like serotonin) that are related to the mood and the psychological state of a person, so music can heal some illnesses like depression.
Secondly music is a good choice to increase your adrenaline levels. In other words, there are some music styles (with fast rhythm) that can make you feel more energized. this feeling helps you to be a healthier person and building up your resistance doing more exercises.
Finally, studies prove that classical music increase the level of neurotransmitters related to reading comprehension, mathematical exercises,etc.
All in all, music can heal people, it is proved because the fact can stimulate your mood, can save you from depression and can also help you in your studies.
In my opinion, music is more than just an amount of noise; it is also a tool to redefine people’s life.

Pacific Derby (Description of an event)
Description of an event
6 years ago, when Marcelo Bielsa became the Chilean national soccert team coach, I decided to travel to Santiago with my family and then go to see the march between Chile and Perú at "Estadio Nacional".
This amazing experience started arriving to the stadium which was at a medium-capacity. Suddenly wearing t-shirts, the supporters began to appear in their seits. Then I realized that everything and everybody were ready for the kick-off. The match began with a dominating Chile that attached intensely during de first minutes until, with a corner kick served by Matias Fernandez, a Humberto Suazo's header came up breaking the resistance of the peruvian keeper. Then, un the second half, the match dind't changed at all and Fernandes became protagonist scoring the definitive 2-0.
Although the match was very exciting, an unforgettable moment of this event was the national anthem. Even when I am not a very nationalistic person, it was unavoidable to feel how my blood was running through my veins.
All in all, even if you don't like football/soccer, the kind of emotions that you can see in this place, which is full of history, are feelings that you have to experiment.

Are sciences more important than humanities?
Are sciences more important than humanities?
Throughout human history, science has solves uncountable misteries that have appeared in our life turning into one of most important pillars of the current society, but some experts think that science is more important than humanities.
Some people share this idea. The scientific community have developed plenty of theories, discoveries, inventions and so one and so forth, that have helped us to avoid complications and to satisfy or needs. A country government plan is developed by science, all that we can see in the streets is created in scientific terms, Problems like starving, sikness, etc. Have been fought with the help of the science
However, how much can the science solve? The human mind is conformed by two sides, the objective one and the subjective one. In the objective side we can find the mathematics, biology, chemistry, etc. In the other hand the otherside is conformed by the humanities, arts, music, phylosophy, language. I agree with the idea of the science as an important part of human society but we must enjoy our artistic side too, because we are not machines or robots.
In conclusion, both sides are equally important, sciences helps us to answer the most problematic questions that have passed through the human mind, but humanities makes us travel to the other half of our brain, we need both to "live our life" as good as possible, both must live together like brothers.
