Spontaneous Human Combustion
by Clemente Sáez
There are many ways a person can arrive to the afterlife, but there is one beyond just “weird” and it can happen to anyone at any moment without any previous advertising, the spontaneous human combustion.
This is a really unlikely to happen and it consists in “burning” to ashes in a few seconds, the victims are devoured by the fire which unexplainably appears from nowhere but their own body.
Until this date this is been unable to be explained even by the most capable doctors and scientists.

The cooking program called ‘’Masterchef’’ has finally arrived in Chile, but who would guess that before they started they already had some problems with the unselected contestants.
The animator Diana Bolocco, has been accused of giving some advantages to the Miss Chile Maria Jesus Mathei, who got selected with non delicious looking pancackes.
One of the loosing contestants said “It was rigged. A waste of time… I produced a sufficient dish but they didn’t pay any attention when Miss Chile came with cameras and all the show, we said, ‘this was fixed.'”
Diana Bolocco said “She came to the audition alone. The production didn’t call her because someone asked for it.”

Women’s Soccer
By Catalina Polanco (9th grade)
Why is there such a difference between women’s and men’s soccer?
It´s a fact that man have more physical aptitudes to play this sport, but women should not be discriminated just for being who we are. Currently in United States soccer it´s not played by most of the men, they prefer other sports like basketball or baseball, girls are the ones who practice more.
In Chile´s schools there are not many opportunities to play but there are other places when you can play it even professional, but those that do it are seen as unfeminine women so most of them are actually ashamed of it.

by Maria Jesus Pinto (9th grade)
This is the name of the new album of Yusuf, or Cat Stevens, well known for his famous song “Lady D’Arbanville”, “Father and son”, and “Wild world” (1970). But the artist is coming out with a different style of music, this new album is mainly R&B or rhythm and blues. This is a big jump, because his music was basically folk before.
