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.
