language V blogging experience.

Hi, dear classmates.

Well, today I am going to write about how has been my language V blogging experience. First of all, I have never had my own blog page. So this is my first time that I have a concrete space to express my feelings, say what I think about something, what I like or not, what I agree or disagree with. I am totally free to say what I want, For that reason I have enjoyed writing it in English.

Another thing that I really like and enjoy is to share my opinion in english with my classmates, they can post me what they think about it, and I can reply them too. The funny thing is that I can know their opinions, sometimes they make me laugh with their hilarious post, make me reflect about an important thing and also I can hear their interviews that are so interesting. The important thing is that we can agree or disagree with any opinion and say it but always with respect and giving reasons why we disagree.

Now, I have to say that writing in English have been a great experience, because I have learnt a lot of new vocabulary which I have to look for them in order to make sence to the topic that teacher gave us everyday in the blogaton. Also I have learnt new expressions from my classmates’s blogs. At the same time I can practice my reading comprehension, my listening because we have up loaded videos, my speaking because we had to record our opinion, and especially in my writing which is improving a lot. so, I can practice all in just one blog it is fantastic! for all those reasons I love English phive.

I really like this topic, because I like watching cartoons, but what is hard to me is choose my favorite one character. I was thinking for about 5 minutes and I was not sure, but finally, I could have one, this caharacter is called Arnol and I chose him because he is really interesting fantastic character who is a mature child, has many friends, and he always is giving good advises, he is a so good person, generous, friendly and wear a little blue jockey and finally his best friend is jerald. I love him.

household chores

First of all, I have to say that I am cold and I have to do something to get hot so, the perfect solution fot it is doing household chores, such as ironing, sweeping my bedroom, or shaking off the carpet ,or something like tha something related to physical movement. But what I am not going to do is watching the dishes, or cleaning the bathroom, or laundrying, or moping I don´t want to touch the water at all until summer at least. so, please I ´ve got to go.

My lucky number.

Well, I don´t really had a lucky number. But the number that I would consider as lucky is 7 which means effort, dedication, and a hard work, because it is the maximun grade that here, in Chile we can get in the tests, works, so on. thus, when I have a 7 I feel happy, confident and proud of myself.

Today I am going to write about a place in Chile that I would like visit. Personally, I think Chile has the most beautiful places to visit such us Torres del Paines, Las 7 tasas, Atacama desert, beatiful beaches, chilean antartic, easter island and so on.
although I would like visit all those beatiful places, There is one special place that I would like to vitit first, it is Easter Island where pascuenses live, because it is one of the few cultures that keeps the languaje, beliefs, dances, and many things that they as culture have known how to keep. Also I would like to watch "moais" which are a big mistery who created them. Another things that I ve heard about them is the delicious food, and dances.
well I must say I am going to be there as soon as posible.
see you! iorana!

reflexive essay

Well, I already chose my topic for my reflexive essay, it is going to be about motivation.
I chose this because I strongly belive that almost all children dont have any motivation to go to school, to study anything. Thus, we us a teacher have to know reasons why they behave that way, and the most important it is to know how can we motivate them to learn.

I know they realize that maybe they don´t have any future, because of their personal problems, or maybe they just think in food or what they are going to eat next day. Personally, I have seen by my work experince how in two different courses "A" and "B" of the same level (first elementary grader) behave in different ways, for example in "A" children want to do their homeworks, it is hard for them, but at least they try. However, in the other one course "B", they are so lazy, they don´t like to write anything, and they are predispose to don´t get anything.

Therefore, motivation is highly related to the disposition to learn that each student has.
For that reason, for me is a good topic, because I am trying with student with that kind of problems which are influence by motivation, and I am interested in learn more about it. So, the article written by Andrew Littlejohn give some advises for teachers, and talk about the sources of motivation, then it is going to solve some doubts that I have respect this topic, and also to practice with students.

about Ken Robinson

What I heard of Ken Robinson make think that we are living in an absolutely capitalist world. Where children have to be educated in order to contribute to the economic development of our country. But, what about children that don’t want to be insert to this kind of world?. It is known that children are thought to be like society needs them. In the cense, they can not be themselves, they can not be different. But, what about creativity?. Here in Chile we can see the same; creativity is a thing that have to be practice like a hobby, not like a thing that can be a job, or your future.

when I were at school I had a subject called " visual arts", where I had to do things that the teacher told me to do, which form, which color, everything. Not leting us to do anything by our creativity.
Thus, education in general prepares children without any creativity. They are just ready to do what people say, to receive instruction, like in all the jobs.

What can we do to improve this problem, what can we do if the state wants people who be efficient in their jobs, making what other powerful person suggest them. Avoiding autonomy, and creativity.

Education

Nowadays, education is so important because it provides us of tools to confront our lives in a good way. I mean our economical situation depend on the studies we have, the kind of education we have, so for example a doctor needs to be good educated in terms of academic studies, in order to fulfill his/her rol.
the bad thing is that the quality of our education depends on the money mainly.The most you pay the best quality you have. but, what about poor people!, they don´t have enough money to choose which kind of education they want to. knowing that the state pay for them, public school still having bad quality in terms of knowing according with standars tests.

this is the case of us chilean poor people, but what can we do to improve it?, how can poor people have a good quality of in term of eduction?, I know it is difficult to solve, but we are going to be a teachers so, we can be a hero of the education, what do you think?

Well, I don´t really like the idea of Victoria city, for many reasons: first, the space is to small in order to live too many people, and what we need is a big space. Also, you are going to have less privacy, because there will be a big dinning room to eat all the people who is going to live there. but,what about sundays ´s family, barbecure, parties, music , and staff like that. the other thing is that i don´t like department, because I have claustrophobic. The other reason is because I sometimes eat junk food with my family, you know to scape from the routine!, so,t his city is going to offer just healthy food

I think there are many good ideas, but impossible to achive, for example, try to eliminate cars on the street, and also electrical cables, and so many others ideas, which need to be financed by somebody, or something. Making people to work hard, in order to get the goal, so what about the dream city?, what about the consumerism?. I don´t know, those ideas are quiet unreal, we need money to achive those goals, but we don´t want to work too, because it is supposed to be the dream city or not?.

people what do you think?

about 2012

I really dont have any idea about it. I´ve heard something, but I still being lost.
actually,I have my own opinion about it, well I think God is the only person who knows when the humans been are going to disappear forever. Maybe the science has discovered which is possible year, however, scientist could be wrong about it.

paranormal events

Unddoubtedly, I believe in paranormal things, like ghost, bad souls, UFOs, and staff like that. I have experienced many of them. Although, almost nobody believes my experience, it is absolutely true.
well, when I was a child, I was like 5, I saw a black man that was sat on my bed, I was not able to touch him. I just was sweat, and I tried to shout but couldn´t do it, because there was something that hinder my voice, after that I wet myself. I don´t have any idea how I could get to sleep.

That was my horrible experience. I hope you belive me.

vocabulary learned in english classes

I am certainly worried about some of the students from work experice. They are bursting at the seams with their homeworks, duty and staff like that.They told me that they would like to run away or cut them short to don´t study any more. Honestly, I think they don´t get anything because they are easily distracted, and demotivated.
Other students are totally diferent, for example they have a relaxed attitude, they just take things easy, because they are highly motivated with study. Thus, clearly, they are bone idle of what they do.
Personally, I think that students have to believe they are the best, the have to get a sense of superiority, but by the same token they have to down to earth, and to be wide awake, in order to undestand the subjects.

my favorite film

Actually I am not good watching movies, I prefer listen to music. However, there is a movie that really touch my heart it is called "Life is beatiful" an italian film which is played by Roberto Benigni(Guido Orifesi in the movie),Nicoletta Braschi (Dora)and Giorgio Cantarini (Joshua Orifesi), where Guido who is Jew, his wife Dora and his son Joshua were arrested and taken to a concentration camp, but Guido and his son were separated from Dora. so, what Guido made his son think that they were in a competition to win a war machine. Although that time was a traumatic, horrible for Guido, for his son was excited.
I think, that the main objective of parents is make their son/daughter be happy, so the film is a perfect example of this. Guido was the hero for Joshua.
For people who havent seen it, I really recommend it. It gives us a beautiful message of love and courage.

my favorite song

There are a lot of songs which I like them so much, however there a song that really touch my heart it is called "Heal the world" by Michel Jakson. Although I don´t like at all him as a person I like the letter of his song, because it is about the wars, which are ignored for all of us, and as we know the main adea is win, but what about the miles of people who die, what about the children that don´t have family , home or something to eat, and so on. So, we have to do something about it, overcoat with children.
I still remembering when I heard it first, it was in my best friend´s house, Rodrigo who has many old singers´s DVDs, so he told me what the song was about I immediately downloaded that song. Since that day I listen to it almost everyday.

I thing you should watch the video, and heard it carefully, and you will know what the reality in others countries is.

hi, everybody. this is nathalie´s complain . what I am going to do is correct it. the first one is the original, and the second one is corrected by me.

Something that can change our society

The reason to send you this letter is to inform you that something that nowadays really worries me is the little concern to have at least one national day dedicate to do exercise in family. Because of the bad life that families are having. For example they are eating many junk foods and have a bad alimentation and because our country is letting behind do exercise to have healthy life.
I know last year it was possible but I think that this have to be more frequency. First this habit is going to help that parents share and spend more time with their children. It’s going to improve and help our health in a good way. Finally it could increase that those days community has a day totally different, out of worries, works, homework, etc.
I`m glad that you could read my letter and I hope that you can think about that. I think that habit could change our society.
Greeting Nathalie V.

Nathalie´s blog

Hi, everybody.

Today I am going to talk about Nathalie’s blogs. First of all she is a super great person that is so friendly, and gives us help when we need it. Well she has many others possitive qualities So, people who want to know her I invite to watch her blogg.
In her blog you will find a short introduction about her. and picture where she is in Lanalhue´s lake. I think she should add more pictures from that place!!.

Well, I think her comments are good but I would like to know more about her opinion, for example, in the post of the bad manners of Chileans people, she wrote a very short comment which was clear, but she should have explained more about that important theme.

In the case of the color I think these are so pouring. I would like to see something more colorful or strong colors. In that way she would show us that she is happy. The layout is good because she has her wall so decorated, with a brilliant name, a calendar, extra information, well I like it, and the presentation is ok. Nathalie likes to have all in order. That why she shows us that way her blogg.

So dear classmate take a look at nathalie´s blog.

my complain.

I am writing to complain about drivers who every morning in Alameda ´s street around 7:30 and 8:30 ignore the Highway Code. Making us to be late and the worst thing is that we run the risk of having any accident.

Despite, there are many policemen around the street, and also there are cameras recording what is happening there. Irresponsible drivers pay they fines, however they still breaking the law.

Another staff is that I feel offended by them, because they break the law, and also they insult people who drive correctly.

Although I have written many letters to carabineros de Chile, they replay me that drivers are punished with high fines nevertheless; it is not enough for them.

I therefore, request that the government takes the necessary and preventive measure against those irresponsible. I would suggest higher punishment, us paying more expensive fines, requesting driver’s licence without returning them, or send them to the jail for one or more months. These would help us to feel safe, to avoid any accident, to be on time to any appointment and also would teach drivers to respect the Highway Code.

I look forward to hearing from you as soon us possible. In the meantime. I hope you will take my suggest into consideration.

well, I am not kind of religious person, but I do respect Easter.
my family for example has catholic belief. They don´t eat meat, just fish with something simple like rice, mashed patatoes or anything.
I think, we should have in our mind all that Jesus Christ did for us always, not just remember him in a weekend, and then forget what he did.

what do you think?, am I right?

ABOUT BBC´S SITE

Well, what I watched on the BBC ´s site was the part of the grammar, vocabulary and most specifically in pronunciation. I heard all the pronunciation tips, I think that was the best thing I read and I heard because we have a subject called phonetics. So, those tips are too important to understand how to pronunce in the best way, and obviously the other person you are talking with get the idea. The other thing that I look around was the grammar challenge topics there are too many things to review, learn and practice.Sometimes I think I´ve learnt so much english, however, there are too many things to know about english. So, I know we never finish to learn. For that reason, there are poweful tools like the tips I heard and exersices I did. I hope with these kind of exercices improve my english at least in a 50%.

activity of friday, April 3 rd,

I am going to interview 1 classmates. Her name is Nathali.


The following questions are: about things that I hate of my culture.

1)Why Chilean people still arriving late to any meet or reunion, or wherever?
2)why we don´t change that?
3)why we still doing our homeworks, readings, essays, and staff like that, at the last moment?
4)how can we change that behave?
5)do you think in a foreign country we are going to behave that way?

I think, we chilean people are so irresponsible with schedule. I mean meetings, reunions, classes, etc. so, that what I hated of us.

are we going to be any time responsible with schedule?... think and answer.
