Letters to the Editor Expensive food!

I'm really worried about how expensive the canteen food is getting nowadays. Every year prices are becoming more and more expensive.

I remember when I was in 1st grade, food cost $1000 pesos per meal. Nowadays it costs $2.000.! Maybe prices are going to get more expensive in the coming years. Therefore, I hope my school can do something about it in order to decrease the food prices.

Graffiti is Art I want to share my insights about some vandals in Santiago. They have to paint the Metrotren in Santiago and I don't agree with the way that they are treated. I think what they do i not bad. Graffiti is Art. People must value this type of art because it brings cool colors and the effort made by the artist.

I think the best solution is that these disrespectful people should get a fine for skipping the line.

More time for lunch!

plaining what the problem was. I've been waiting for a reply for a long time and I haven't got it yet. After coming back to Chile, I went to the telephone company straight ahead. They said they had not received any complaint from me. How is this posible?

After a month, I got my telephone bill.

It was $2.000 US. I cannot believe it!

I've been cheated by this company.

Dear Editor, I want my story to be known.

I want to share my thoughts about the extra hour given at my school. When I was in 7th grade, my school added an extra hour in our lunch time. At that time was quite fair. But now, we only have 45 minutes.

Well, I think that it's a little unfair. We should have more time for lunch in order to have a proper time for eating.

Glaciers destroyed by Coldelco Mrs. Editor,

Parking Ticket at the Mall

I address this letter to you because I am not happy with the destruction of the glaciers done by Coldelco Chile.

They are destroying these beautiful places here in the Aconcagua Valley. I live in this wonderful place and I think what they are doing is not good!

Unaffordable Books Dear Editor, Your section about "The best book" published last week was amazing! But when I went to the bookshop, I realized that the book was too expensive! I didn't know what to do because I really wanted that book!. So, it made me think about people who do not like reading at all. How can we promote reading to young people if books are expensive?

Reading is cool and fun! You can even imagine everything that is happening in each and every story.

The only problem here is that most people don't like spending too much money on books that they might be reading only once.

I wonder what It can be done in order to make them affordable.

Thanks

No Fonda this year?

Why is not there going to be a fonda this year? Last year there was a terrific fonda called "Donda Don Otto". We had a really good time and now... what are we going to do?

I want to know why there is not going to be a fonda this year. All these have made me feel sad. I would really appreciate to have an answer.

Dear Editor, I want to share my insights about the parking ticket at the mall. If you lose your ticket there, you will have to pay $7.000 pesos. It's too expensive!

The mall has security cameras and they know exactly when you get into the mall. So, if they know that, and if someone loses her their parking ticket, they should not charge you with $7000 pesos.

I hope that people agree with me and start doing something to stop this.

Regards

Clemente Bertrand I believe that there must be a better solution for that.

Skipping the line Being Cheated by again? a Telephone Dear Editor, Company I want to share my insights about people who always skip the line. I just hate the idea of seeing this all the time. For me, these people don't have any respect for the other who have to queue and wait until their turn comes. It's really annoying .

I don't agree with this situation because glaciers are really important for the ecosystem. They provide the clear water we have every morning and help our plants to grow. If they keep destroying them, The Aconcagua Valley will start to have many problems.

"Human Race and Pollution"

For the last six years the government has been saying that there will be a new highway in San Felipe, which will improve the connectivity among towns and cities. The problem is that it hasn't been finished yet.

The new highway is a real need. It will improve most of the traffic jams we have nowadays.

The current one is known as "the highway of death" due to the many traffic accidents that take place there.

Dear Editor, Your article about "human race and Pollution" has caught my attention. It was amazing! It explained all the questions I had regarding the topic.

Dear Editor, I have a problem. Last week I went to Argentina and I used my phone with roaming. Everything was fine until one day my internet signal was missing. I emailed my telephone company, ex-

Problems in the Highway

I think it deserves a praise for the work done.

Now, people in town are organizing marches and protest against the local government. We want an immediate solution for this. We want it now!

I hope this letter can be read by politicians. People are suffering here.

Letters to the Editor Ugly Graffits Dear Editor, I want to complain about the graffitis.

They are ugly! I think that graffiti is a kind of vandalism and ruins the city. If I were the mayor, I would punish all the graffitiers. Most people have to clean and paint their houses and walls, like my grandmother does. Why does she have to do that?

When a city has too many graffitiers, it looks like a rubbish can! Besides, the sprays destroy the Ozone layer.

Unaffordable books 2

Robots & Jobs

In my opinion, books are too expensive and I don't understand how schools are trying to encourage reading in your free time. Most books cost the same as a videogame. For example, I can't afford the amount of money in books that I read per month. So, I have to read online which is not good for your health as you spend too many hours in front of the screen.

I think that you must publish a notice about robotic advance. I mean, is a machine going to steal my job? Nowadays, robots and machines can do simple things as cooking or cleaning the house and even being a very useful element on a surgeon. I want to say that robots today can make very important things. In the first industrial revolution, machines were seen as an enemy of the job because it lowered the salaries of the people of that century. But at that time, they marched and protest for being replaced by machines. So, why don't we do the same now?

I just want people to be aware of this problem.

I think the solution for this is to get rid of taxes or at least, reduce the percentage that is applied to books. Then, people can read more.

Surprising increase in violent crime Dear Editor, I have been worried because of the increasing of crime rate these days. A few weeks ago, one of my friends was robbed. Besides, this "bomb business" has made me feel worried about my family safety.

Please, ask the Police department what they can do.

The place where the elevator arrives is in the middle of a maze. There lives a group of teenagers but they are all boys. But someone has put them in that maze, so they will try to find out who did it.

The book is full of mystery and excitement. It's given just 4 stars as it's the end of the trilogy, it gets so boring and disappointed. Besides, the characters have to face so many things to get the truth and their freedom that its end can’t be compared with the rest of the books.

Review: ‘Catching Fire, the movie’

Divergent

by Veronica Roth It’s a fantasy story that has many aspects of love and action. It’s the perfect book for someone that like the ‘Hush, hush’ and ‘The Hunger Games’ saga.

The plot is really entertaining and it keeps you all the time paying attention.

Divergent became a best seller of the ‘New York Times List’ and it has fans in the entire world. There is a movie too and it is too successful like the book.

It is a really incredible book, because it has all what a person is looking for in a great story.

Rate: 5 stars

Pretty Little Liars

By Sarah Shepard Became the best friends of Alison (The bee queen of the Rosewood Day) was the most incredible thing that could happened to Aria, Spencer, Hanna and Emily. Alison was funny, smart, popular, compressive and the most beautiful of the school. All the boys wanted to be with her and all the girls wanted to be her. It was amazing to be part of her group… but it was the hell too. Alison was the most manipulator person they have ever known. The four teenagers became witnesses of all the abuse committed by Alison. But to be popular is better than this, or not?

All change the night that the school’s bee queen disappeared leaving the school and the four girls.

‘Catching Fire’ is a really interesting movie based on the book with the same name writhed by Susanne Collins, which one is the second of the saga ‘The Hunger Games’.

The movie is really entertaining and the actors are perfect for their roles. In the plot, you can find action, love, danger and mystery. It is very similar as the book but the emotions and the music makes it amazing.

‘Catching Fire’ is a very good movie because when people start watching it for first time, they really have a good time and cannot take on their eyes off the screen.
