My favorite movie is...

When someone asks me: what is your favorite movie?, I don´t have to think it, I immediately say The Lord of The Ring The return of the king. This film is the third part of the trilogy based on the books written by J.R.R. Tolkien. I have watched this movie about 5 o 6 times, even though it lasts more than 3 hours.

I like the whole trilogy, but the third one is amazing. This movie shows the end of the long story about some characters, called the Hobbits. who have to destroy a powerful ring. Besides that, there are a lot of other characters who help the hobbits in their difficult mission. The story takes place in an unreal world, where elps, dragons, dwarves, wizards, a liitle guys called the hobbits and humans exist

My favorite part of the movie is the big battle between the good ones and their enemies. It is about 45 minutes of pure action, with excellent scenes, very good effects and a lot of fight. The only thing I don´t like about this movie is the end of this big battle I was talking about, because after a lot of fight, the hobbits and their friends were almost defeated, but an army of ghosts appear and solve the situation in a couple of minutes, this is the only part I would change.

The most important characters are played by: Elijah Wood (the main hobbit), Ian McKellen (the wizard), Orlando Bloom (the elf), and Vigo Mortensen, and argentinian who acts as Aragorn, a human who finally becomes the king of the middle earth.

This movie was directed by Peter Jackson, and in the 2004 got 11 Oscar awards, incluiding the Oscar for the best film of the year.

My favorite piece of technology is my cellphone

I´m not a big fan of technology, but I have to confess there is one thing that I really like, the cellphone.

I have always had a cellphone, since I was a kid. My first one was pretty big and heavy, but I loved it. Then my father bought me a cellphone with camera and I couldn´t stop taking pictures.

A couple of years ago, I got my first smartphone. When I started to know how to use it, I realized I could do many things with it. Nowadays my cellphone is an important tool for me and I use it everyday. The reasons I like my smartphone are: I can check my e-mail anywhere, I can chat with my friends and my girlfriend, I can go to internet and look for whatever I want and if I´m bored I can also play games or watch a video on youtube.

I can´t say my life would be empty without my cellphone, but if I lost it I'd be very sad and probably I would feel disconnected to the world.

I admire a teacher I had

I have had many teachers that I respect, but one of them is a guy who I really admire. His name is Rodolfo Miralles. He is a dentist who has dedicated his whole life to the investigation and teaching. I can not talk about his personal life because I don´t really know it.

He was my teacher in second year of university, and he was in charge of the physiology class. The first time I listened to him, I realized he was a great teacher. He combines the knowledge and the passion for teaching, that's why I think he is an excellent professional.

Besides that, he is also a great invesigator. He has a lot of publications and has worked with very important dentists along his career.

A couple of years ago, he was recognized as the best teacher of the year of Universidad de Chile. I was pretty happy for him because he deserved it.

A great day with my favourite band

I still remember that day when my good friend Felipe called me and told me: hey Toshiro, guess what? Red Hot Chilli Peppers are coming to Chile. I got really excited because that is my favourite band. Immediately I looked for the place where I could buy the tickets and I went.

3 weeks before the concert I downloaded the new album and learnt all the songs, so I was very prepared for the big day.

Finally the day came, it was a warm day in September 2011. The concert took place on Estadio Monumental. I went with Felipe and 4 others friends, we arrived very early because we wanted to get a good spot on the field. We had searched the play list, so we knew exactly what songs they were going to play.

The concert lasted 2 hours, and I can only say.... It was amazing! The band did a great presentation, excellent sound, and they made a good selection of their songs.

After the show I was very tired, but I felt a nice feeling because I could see my favourite band in a live concert.

The most famous song they have is called Can't stop, and this is the video:

Autobiography

 Hello, my name is Toshiro Yamada Torres, I'm 24 years old, I was born in Rancagua, but I lived in Rengo, which is a little town close to Rancagua. I used to go to an elementary school near my house,  and there I made a lot of good friends who are still my friends at the present. I did the secondary school in the same place I did the elementary. Then my parents decided to send me to a different school, so I did the high school in Rancagua. I had a great time there, I met a lot of nice people, and I got a good education.

My father´s name is Manuel, he is very kind and he is really hilarious, my mother´s name is Margarita, she is friendly and an excellent mom. They are both businesspeople, and they have 2 commercial stores in downtown of Rengo. My sister is called Naomi, she is 19 years old, and she is studying medicine.

Currently I live in Santiago, I study odontology at Universidad de Chile, I am in the last year of my career, I just have to finish my thesis and I can get my degree.

I have a lot of hobbies, one of them is sleeping, I really like sleeping. I also like watching TV show, my favourite ones are Friends and Prison Breaks, they are so good.

Another hobbie is playing basketball, I played it since I was in high school. Lately I have been working out a lot at the gym. What I really like is hanging out with my girlfriend and my friends, and spend some time with my family.

My father´s parents are Japanese, that is why I have a Japanese name, but my mother´s parents are Chilean so I am half Japanese and half Chilean.
