Hello teacher and classmates, today i will talk about a character i like, he is Mr. Poirot.
Hercule Poirot is a character created by the writer Agatha Christie, and this character is a Belgian detective. The First appearance of this detective was in 1920 in the book called "The Mysterious Affair al Styles", and the last appeared was in "Curtain" in 1.975.

By 1.930 Agatha Christie said of Poirot that he was "unbearable" and by 1.960 she felt that he was "detestable and self-centered".  However, the public loved him and the writer refused to kill him, she said that was her duty to do what the public liked, and what the public liked was Poirot.

Poirot is the most famous character of British author Agatha Christie. Former member of the Belgian Police, came to England as a refugee during the First World War and never left the country, which was established as a highly successful private detective.

Mr, Poirot impresses everyone with his intelligence to solve the most complicated cases that are presented. Is a retired detective who always has a lot of work, and always seeks to solve mysteries that appeal to their intellectual complexity.

Hello everybody.

Well, this is the city that i chose to study, and leaving aside the problems to major cities, I think that this is a great city. Every day you have something to do, instead in my city no, the truth is that it is a bit boring.

I like Santiago because is a city with culture, entertainment, public transportation works day and night, there are many parks, it’s near the mountains and beach.

I think there are many interesting things to do in this city, for example visit the Cajón del Maipo by nature and beautiful landscapes.
Other place is The Palace of La Moneda and some remaining buildings with history in down town.

I would suggest a tourist to visit:
-The Cerro Santa Lucía, hopefully on a clear and clean day to photograph the city.
-Visit the Cajón del Maipo  to do hiking or trekking, and horseback riding.
-Go to Museo de Bellas Artes and its surrounding area to visit the coffe shops.

Greetings to all and see you soon.
