Chilean Miners' Vocabulary


After having read the text which I gave you about the 33 Chilean miners, I suggest that you all examine the text again and get the most important vocabulary related to that matter. This will help you learn vocaburaly related to current issues, which, as you know, will be of great use for your exam of PAU in June. This vocabulary can also include words which you had to look up in order to write your compositions. I will start this task introducing the first words:
MINE = Mina.
COME OUT OF = Salir de (la mina)
