The final countdown

I know that this is the last class’s week (read it with alleviate voice), and may be it is the best time to realize what I’ve gotten this semester and what I want to improve the next one.
In first place, it is important to highlight my new experience like “Blogger”, it is useful and interesting, and because of the possibility to write anything that I think and feel without limits and structures. Blogging is an activity that you can develop with freestyle, in your own words.
Do I enjoy this? Of course. I always keep in mind to try to write correctly but never let out my thought, and was pretty funny to read what others wrote in their blogs. I think that maybe we read the same articles but all of us took from they different point of views.
On the other hand, to write here helped me to learn some new vocabulary. There were moments that I did not know what the words meaning and spent a lot of time to try to find or guess what the idea was, but then I feel more comfortable with my blog-work and it was not problem for me.
I must confess that sometimes I was absolute concentrated in write and I did not have enough time to read my classmate’s blogs, I hope to read them in vacation .I am not kidding.
In my opinion blogs were not valuated enough, because here we have a lot of information and material to work in class, but we just left this work in the lab sections. I know that we worked or checked some of these activities in class but I think that we should to take advantage of these activities creating debates or forums about them. The post is pretty important. It made me reflex a lot.

Sorry, I know that maybe is not objective to say this but I do not see disadvantages to blog in English class. The previous activities helped us to develop listening and reading comprehension skills, and then we write so it was useful too.
The topics were so interesting and they gave me a lot of ideas for my futures activities, not just in class with my students, I mean, I want to create my own café-concert about education someday…

My principal problems or weaknesses this semester were the attendance and try to be on time in class. I know that the excuses increase the fault (there is an idiom for that?), but this were not a good time for me in personal terms so, maybe just I need to take my vacations and remake myself. I wish to be with you gays the next semester.
In other aspect, I must to improve my vocabulary and pronunciation in order to brush up my English. By the way, I had some strengths like…mmmm….well, I think that I passed my courses for something, because I dominated the necessary level of English , and I know that I have the capacity to be in Language Five.

To sum up, I will use my blog in the future, if I feel that I need to say something …
and in class would it be funny.

News!

Well, I really enjoy reading the newspaper, but I don’t read it by internet usually. It was quite difficult for me to choused a piece of new from each webpage, because there were an amount of interesting topics that called my attention.

In first place, I read: www.guardian.co.uk and, in first plane I founded the ceremony that commemorated the 20th anniversary of the Berlin’s wall fell. It was represented by a dominoes wall that was demolished .Many world’s authorities were present in the event .By the way, the Angela Merkel’s testimony was the most impressive of the night.
I choused this piece of news, because I considerer that humankind shouldn’t forget their history. Otherwise, we are destined to repeat the same mistakes.
The Berlin’s wall destruction means the final of the cold war. It was a process that in one way or another affected our continent, economy and other aspects of Chilean life.

Later, I must read: www.nytimes.com, voluntarily of course. Here I could read about Chile! in the front page. It described Valaparaiso, as one of the most tourist places in Chile. Besides that, the journalist, Vanessa Gregory, highlighted every typical drinks and dishes of the region. It is a kind of gastronomic guide at the beginning but then you can find excellent tips about how to spend a great time in the zone. So, what do you think? There is a piece of Chile wherever you see.
I proud about that in international mass media include Chile’s info like real alternatives. I mean, we are on the bottom of the world but there is no doubt, that our country is really value as a beautiful country. Viva Chile mierda!!!

Finally, I visited: www.brisbanetimes.com.au. It was a kind of odd for me. I was trying to find an interesting piece of news and read a lot of them. Everyone was more freak than the previous one. I don’t know where I did click, actually. Well, I could read in this page about the spam. However, it had relation with Coke, that like all of us know; it is a very powerful and well known brand. The last year were sent a thousand of SMS promoting a Coca Cola campaign. The Australian Government decided does not penalize the brand for this “technological” issue. I think that maybe, the brand used its influences like company and made some money agreement with the affected.
On the other hand, it is probably that here in Chile this kind of situation should be punishing but, I really do not know this politics.

A Dreamer…


I think that this test was amazing! I really enjoyed it. It is pretty interesting how many things can other person discover about you just throw an image. Don’t you think?

The images that I saw were incredible assertive, I mean, when I looked them, immediately, I could identified the concept that I wanted. Many of these pictures have some element that gave me a key about my experiences or habits. I suppose that, when some people said that an image say more than a hundred of words, it is true. Beside, in this case, an image can say what you mind wants.

The result did not surprise me. I have always thought that I am a dreamer and romantic person. However, I am pretty ashamed because of the fun part…no comments.

On the other hand, I think that the adventurer that is inside of me has not developed yet. Maybe because I‘ve tried to be extremely mature all my life and I confuses some things with that stance.

The sociable part was exactly definite. I can not live without my friends. I love them, and I think that they are an indispensable part of my life. By the way, I think that freedom is a goal that we should get everyday. In spite of this, it is a right that much people don’t recognize in their lives.

Ken Robinson

I am really motivated by this Sir Ken Robinson. I listened to him very concentrated but I think that his story was told in my mind before, because I assumed, long time ago, that this is the way that I will have developed in my class, I suppose.

I mean, I agree with him, I think that the priority in the life is establish by the individual person and don’t for a system which standardize a human been as a pair of shoes.

The hierarchy in the subjects is a consequence of the prejudice throws the history of some kind of professions or characters. I am trying to say that, a doctor is always a good option, he’s a science’s man. But, in the other hand is a bohemian singer who doesn’t have to find in the books his inspiration just need to get in touch with himself.

It’s a hard work to discover what is our main talent in the life, because one person could be a really Pandora’s Box. We can develop everything that we really want and enjoy with it. The teacher’s mission is an active participation in the student’s life, I mean, try to discover what is hide in ours children and try that they discovered it too.

I know that when we listened to this kind of education's happy discourses is pretty encouraging by us but, how he said, the public education is far away from renew it’s study’s structures. We are studying pedagogy and we probably will be the answer for many children’s doubts, but also we could be the answer for many society’s challenges.

...and that's why I am here

Four years ago, I was trying to discover what I really wanted for the rest of my life, and it was extremely hard for me. I just was looking for a career that cover different aspects of my life like, my economics pretentious, my personal expectations and how could I help my society by this activity. I tried to consider all this aspects and finally I decided to study English Pedagogy.

To find a University was not hard, because I have heard about them and I was really informed. Furthermore, I should enter to study because I had lost the opportunity the previous year.
The Alberto Hurtado University had a good reputation; beside I knew its way to work with the students.

When I started to study English, I really got in touch with the English. By the way I thought that it does not like me, but I love this language .It was completely unknown for me when I entered to the university, but that did that I put all my strain to learn it. On the other hand, the education subjects have showed me that I choose the correct way for my life.

I always have thought that, a teacher as a doctor has the same importance in the society. Teachers have the responsibility to put up the new generations to explore the world, and improve it. To teach a new language is to open a big window. Children, who really will be touches for this opportunity, will have a tool that will go with them for the rest of their life.

It is extremely important to be conscious that the skills that we develop today won’t be enough in the future. The movements in our planet will be unpredictable, and we like professional have the obligation to improve them. In the future the most important tool that we will need is our commitment.

That is my first time!!!!

Ok, gays I don't know what to say ,but here we go.
In first place I tried to updates all the time that I lost the last two weeks.
Jorge thanks for your help.
In second place , I visited just one website http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/,it was amazing and I really recomend you that work in a zone called "funky phrasal".I think that is because of when you listen to the dialogue, you can heard funky music, that's great don't you think?
Well, there you can practice a lot of things at the same time ,listening,reading , and obviously phrasal verbs. The best thing here is that you can make a relation between the new words ,their meaning and the context where you can use them. Some of the topics are the childhood, clothes,vacations between others.

Well, I really don't know how much can I say so, see you later
