Christian the Lion [1° Año Medio A]

In 1969 a young Australian, John Rendall and his friend Ace Bourke, bought a small lion cub from Harrods pet department, which was then legal. 'Christian' was kept in the basement of a furniture shop on the Kings Road in Chelsea, the heart of the swinging sixties. Loved by all, the affectionate cub ate in a local restaurant, played in a nearby graveyard, but was growing fast...

A chance encounter with Bill Travers and Virginia McKenna led to a new life for Christian. He came to live in a huge enclosure and to sleep in a caravan at their Surrey home. Then in 1971 he was flown to Kenya, his ancestral home, and returned to the wild by lion-man George Adamson. Nine months later in 1972, John and Ace returned to Kora in Kenya. This clip is of their reunion at that time.

Is it real this? How much do you think your pets love you? Should we consider animal rights as ours?

Daily news tell us every single day about international sports, countries around chile winning medals and champinships. However, that it's changinng somehow, for example, Tomas Gonzales, Alexis Sanchez, Kristel Kobrich, etc.

 What's your opinion about it? is it easy for chilean competitors to win medals and champinships? what sport would you like to practice? would you need some kind of support?

Education Conflict [4° Año Medio A]

 Many protests have happened through this year, and it seems this is not yet finished. Chilean students demand free scholarship and an important decrease in grant's taxes. For most of them, it doesn't make any sense the idea of getting into debt with banks or the government itself.

 Lots of Universities and Schools are on strike, and if they don't give them what they want, it won't get any better.
