Recientemente en Chile un niño de 13 años llamado Abraham estaba caminando por la playa a la escuela para encontrar una botella de brandy misteriosa en el agua. Dentro había una nota de un hombre en Nueva Zelanda que desee reunirse quien encontró la botella. Los ciudadanos de esta isla remota Chile ahora están atentamente a la espera de saber qué letra dice en su interior.
Un día, Abraham iba a la escuela y encontró la botella en el océano, en el interior se encontró la nota de botella. El hombre que escribe la nota se llama Matt Jensen, que quiere dar a la persona que escribió el premio nota recompensa. El hombre era de Australia y de acuerdo con la cantidad de distancia recorrida unas 6000 millas. Todos los chicos de la ciudad hablaban de botella y Abraham y lo que pasaría cuando se encuentran.
Sorprendentemente esta pequeña área en Chile es un lugar muy remoto y las posibilidades de encontrar una botella en el agua es de 10%. Algunas de las botellas que se envían mes encontrados o incluso años después de que se ha enviado en el océano, algunos terminan cerca o lejos.
En 2011 Jensen entrevistado por Domingo Mañana Heraldo y dijo que se trata de la belleza del mar. Jensen es muy interesado en conocer a la persona que encontró esta botella y dónde viven y cómo la botella llegó allí, el encuentro de estas dos personas al azar va a ser muy interesante.

The point of this project was to find and article in the area of the country we were assigned by our teacher. This required us to independently research our countries news stations or newspapers over the internet. Once we found a story that was interesting and sounded like it would be fun to write about our next step was to then rewrite that story but in our own words. the next step was for the group we were in to decide whether we wanted to create an report or a video with all the stories or if we wanted to create a newspaper and put all of the stories on that.
My favorite part of this project and were I really connected with it most was when I was searching and looking for all the different kinds of stories that I was looking at. For example I thought it was cool how we were very free in our decision and it was really fun in the end to write about the bottle. The research also somewhat opened my eyes on what is happening in some places as I browsed through the different news stations and examined each story. Overall I thought that that was my best part in the project but the project overall was a really fun experience that I was able to have fun with as I did it.
The most challenging part of this project was when we were writing it and actually changing how the story was told. This was only because I am still not a master at typing Spanish, even though the amount of words that were required was not a terrible amount it was still challenging. Another thing that was challenging was trying to say the story in our own words and sometimes that required me to use a word that I did not know so it was hard not to go back to Word Reference often. The typed section in the end was a little rough for me but it wasn't so challenging to make the project fun.
Through this project I learned that as a writer I definitely need to work on my writing skills and work on how I am trying to communicate what I say. I also learned that as a learner I am able to easily contain the information that is being learned in class. I noticed this while we were practicing right before the project and learning all the new words, while we did this I was able to follow along well while the teacher talked and even in the games when we had to say the words.
Now after this learning experience and the entire month of learning knew words I believe that it will benefit me greatly in the language learning process. This is because we did this over a long period of time and that allowed us as students to take in the knowledge little by little. The amount of knowledge was not piled up on us which would have made the subject very hard to understand, in the end this whole experience helped us with our learning process in Spanish and will continue to do so.
