  28. Hello teacher, Bueno on September 18 I in some occasions am going to see my father to the military stop, and in others there are together relatives. I stretch them to happen in family. Where I go it is to places in the free air. What as for these days, can be changed, from a salad, up to meat. And the truth is that not to be danced cueca, because I do not have so much interest. Good-bye.

  34. Hi, on September 18th, I go to ramadas in Playa Ancha with my family and friends, we eat a lot of meat, dance cueca in school and typical dances of Chile, we eat a lot of things like anticuchos, empanadas, and others. I’m so bad dancing cueca because it’s bored and slow; I don’t know how to dance it. I love fly kites and we do it with my friends all September.

  35. Hi teacher!
    In my opinion I am charmed with the day of the independence or September 18 because it passes very well in the holidays and there is very rich food as the pies and roasts it passes very well with the family, and I like much because it can share one with the distant persons that it cannot see one every day and scouts Chilean music as the cueca also I like because we lose classes and can go to the games that they do every year in the native holidays that are called the ramadas and it passes very well with the friends
