Share what you know. Im Gloria from Arica and my four brothers, Pancho, Tito, Pato and Manuel and I have a rock band, Los Atrevidos. We started our band about three years ago. I sing and they play the guitar, bass, drums and keyboards. We were in a TV programme last year on channel 45. We participated with ten other bands and we won a gold medal. When we were kids we always listened to rock and roll because our parents liked that style of music. They loved Elvis Presley, the father of rock and roll. They also liked rock and, of course, the Beatles. But my brothers and I like other rock styles: progressive, alternative, heavy metal and punk. We also like Chilean bands: La Ley, Lucybell, Los Tres, Los Prisioneros, Saiko and Los Tetas. But probably Saiko is the band we most like. We want to share our music with you.

It was originated in 1591. Long time ago, there was a Pamplona bishop, Saint Fermn. He travelled far converting people to Christianity. Some people didnt like it, so they killed him.

by Norah Smith

I remember that day clearly. I was 7 years old and this was my first trip to the
mountains with my mum. When we got there, I saw some kids sliding down on big black rubbish bags. I wanted to do the same but my mum said I was too young. So I cried and I screamed. She had two options: hear me scream all day or let me slide down the slope. Finally, she said yes. I started sliding and when I was halfway down the slope, some bushes got in the way and I landed right in the middle of them. I twisted my ankle and we had to go to a hospital right away. It hurt so much that I cried and screamed all the way back. My mum was not very happy.

Tuesday, March 4th, 2008. Smoky Valparaso

A forest fire started near Quintay yesterday afternoon at three o'clock. The dark smoke started moving towards Valparaso yesterday evening. And today, the smoke got to the city. People are scared. They are suffering from headaches. The fire destroyed around 1500 hectares of forest. But a change in the wind could make things worse. Authorities predict that the fire will continue for another couple of days.

Thursday, March 6th, 2008. The fire continues

The fire got to Valparaso. It destroyed at least 25 houses. Only some people had time to take their things from their homes. According to one of the victims, the smoke was everywhere. The fire also destroyed around 3,800 square kilometers of forest. There were many policemen and firefighters on the scene. But the situation was very difficult. The place was very dangerous, too.
