the role of a man and a woman in society

Are gender roles changing in your country?
Yes the roles are changing in my country, because the women are not longer consider the weak sex, this is because the women are taking the spaces that before suppose to be for men and they are treated like an equal.
-At work (Are there different barriers for men and women at work?)
In the work there are some differences between men and women, for example a woman earn less money that a men for the same job, this is because in Chile is not accepted that we are the same, but that is changing, I think that is going to take some time but some day we are going to be treated like the same. 
-At home (Who does most of the work at home?)
Probably are still the women who do the work at home, but is changing. Before the only thing that women has to do was do the home work and take care of the kids, but now that is changing because women are studying just like men does and there are some man that do the work at home. 
Who do you think has life easier in your country, a man or a woman? Why? 
I think both, it depends on the different realities that the person have, sometimes the life is easier for men for example the earn more in a work or is easier for them to get a job, but in the other hand sometimes are women that are treated the same. 
 Is equality between men and women possible?
I think it is but our society have to change, because we cannot think any more that there is a superior raze, we have to understand that we are just different, and that we need each other to live.

My pice of technology

My favorite piece of technology is my Mac book air, my parents gave it to me for Christmas I use it in many ways, for example I use it to do works for the university, and to talk with my friends, also to check mi e-mail, and to read the news on-line, I listen music on it to, and to watch movies, I also have pictures and videos of me and my friends


on it. I used it every day because y bring it to the university to do works and to take notes, and when I get to my home I use it to talk with my friends, and for a lot of other things.
I like it because is very useful and comfortable, is very thin so I can take it to anywhere. Without my Mac book my life would be so mush difficult because I use it to do almost everything in my life.

what is a good friend

They are people very important for my life , because I can trust on them, and they support me in hard moments. With friends I spend great time, we have fun, but they also are there when I need them.
Is it easy for you to make friends?
It depends of the situation. It's hard to me to trust someone quickly, because sometimes people disappoints You and you get hurt, so I need to get to know people very well to call them a friend. Besides I'm a little bit shy, so know new people it’s hard for me.
What’s the nicest thing you’ve ever done for your friends?
I don't remember about something specifically, but I think the nicest thing I do for my friends is be there when they need me, in good moments and in bad moments too.
What are the characteristics of a good friend?
I think that they are people who are always there for me, they listen to me and give me advices when I need it.
