The Parabolic Arch is in the Civic Walk, right in the middle of the city. It’s one of the most famous landmarks in Tacna. This arch represents our history and pride, and it's a must-see for anyone visiting the city.

On Saturday, I woke up early and got ready for my internship. First, I went to do my practice from 9:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. After that, I went home to have lunch quickly. Then, I went to work from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. It was a busy day, but I felt productive. When I finished work, I met with my friends from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. We talked, walked a bit, and had dinner together. I enjoyed that time a lot.

On Sunday, I woke up later, around 9:00 a.m. Before breakfast, I cleaned my room and organized my clothes. Then I ate with my family and helped my mom wash the dishes. In the afternoon, I went to the center of Tacna with my sister. We walked around, bought some things, and took photos. It took us about two hours. After that, we returned home and I studied for a while. In the evening, I watched a movie and went to sleep early to be ready for Monday.

That’s everything I wanted to share. I hope you liked it. Thank you very much, teacher.

After that, I walk straight for five blocks along Avenida Internacional, passing Calle Emancipación and Calle Los Barretos, until I reach Calle Los Héroes on block 5.

Then, I turn left onto Calle Los Héroes and keep walking straight for two more blocks. Later, I reach Calle Tarapacá, where I turn right and continue walking until I reach block 8, close to Calle Lima.

Finally, I turn left onto Calle Lima, and after a short walk, I see Pollería Chaves on the corner of Calle Lima and Tarapacá. It’s next to a small grocery store and across from a bakery. The whole walk takes about 15–16 minutes from SENATI, and it’s an easy route to follow.

I live in a house with my mom and my brother. My house is medium-sized, with four rooms: a living room, a kitchen, my room, and my brother’s room. It's comfortable and perfect for us. However, my friend has the most bedrooms; she has seven. Her house is bigger and more spacious than mine. Her living room is very modern, and her kitchen has all the latest appliances.

Even though her house is bigger, I prefer mine because it’s closer to my school, and it’s more convenient for me. Also, my house gets a lot of natural light because of the big windows, and it’s much quieter because I live in a peaceful neighborhood.

Thank you!
