What I think about my blog? Let's find out!

The experience of write in a blog is parallel that I have writing on Twitter. You just have to write anything that you think about any topic or about how you feel. Post in blog could be a little bit different because we are doing this, due to we are in classes and learning how to improve our writing, spelling and trying to discover other abilities which we didn’t have any idea we had.

I have been feeling awesome writing here. Because even you know that you do this for a mark, your classmates are reading this, and posting about what you write. Could be a negative or a positive opinion, but it doesn’t matter, it just a comment like any other. If you ask me about what I have done different, I will tell you, I would have liked post more often than we did. But I know we didn’t have enough time to do that.

Personally I would like to keep posting here and I hope my classmates do the same, this is fun and is a very good way to improve our skills, so all of you are invited to keep posting here, and if you do that, surely are going to receive an answer

Analyzing classmates' blogs!

I'm a self-centered person definitely, I wanted to write about my own blog, but unfortunately I couldn't. For that reason I had to choose one of my classmates' blogs, and one of the interesting blogs that I read, was Karla’s blog, called “SevinNyne”. She has around nine posts there, probably more than us, or at least me.

The thing that I like about her blog, is that she has a customize one. Being in her blog you can realize about the background, letters, and adding her personal attributes like her favourite’s movies, music or books (I think I followed her example, due to I completed my profile too).

I chose on Karla’s blog the post about the “earthquake”. I think there are a lot of interesting things to read, but just the word earthquake causes different reactions in people who heard this word. Personally I like all kind of things that could happened with this phenomenon, because I think there are interesting to know, what happened with their families (speaking in general of course), how they lived the earthquake, how are them now, etc.

I think Karla can write very well, if somebody asks me about what she could improve, probably I could say her voice. Try to speak louder in class, and don’t be afraid to commit a mistake, and actually she doesn’t commit a lot of mistakes, but just speaking louder like I said before.

Ps.- I added this photo because I need to be “blank” to read something, any noise of anything interrupts what I’m reading, for that reason I need to be “focus” on what I’m doing, but I can not understand anything.

My behaviour in classes

Classes of Language Three are interesting, especially in the module of Miss Beatriz, because have been quick and fun, an important part of a class. But why is important this part? Because you need to be “in” the class, and Miss Beatriz can do that, saying something funny that makes you wake up and be alert to the class.

From my point of view teachers are being really concerned about our performance during classes. They send to our emails tasks and all kind of material to do while we are in home, but most of us (not all my classmates) never do that kind of things. Teachers are doing an effort giving us these things to do, so we had to do that.

The thing is that in my case I never do my homework, could be because I’m a lazy person, and besides due to I’m not very “in” language. In part this is because I think that I can speak with people like my uncle, not in a perfect way, but he help me and I do my best and for that reason I say: “ Baaahhh, but I know so I don’t need to do the effort of do the homework…” I know if I do my tasks I’ll get best marks in class, but I didn’t study the necessary to improve. Probably is for the reason I mentioned before, that I can speak with my uncle who is Britain, I’m more relaxed with Language 3.

At least, now I’m doing my tasks, like post on my blog, or the activities and reading which Miss Beatriz send me to my email, and doing those things, I feel more efficient, but that is something that I’m going to see with my future grades and the final exam…
Please God help me!!! Hahaha!
See yer
P.S.- I hope England wins today and Chile on Friday!

The beginning of a new dream...

Definetely this was a hard game. Most of people think that Chile is one of the best team in the world cup. Today we watched a game which included passion, speed, agony and happiness. Chile was a machine today, our players were running, running and running. Probably this is one of the important things which people consider, like the strenght of our team. They never give up, always fight and we have to support them.

The 35th minute was running, and we all were nervous, but Beausejeur scored for Chile. That was the best moment, all of us were celebrating, screaming and singing: "Vaaaamooosss, vaaamoooss chileeennoooosss..." and in that moment began a new dream, because now all people are saying: "Yes, we are going to be in the second round, we are going to win the world cup, nobody can with us..." that sounds nice, but I wish that this support were always the same, all of us involved with the spirit of Fútbol and being part of the most beautiful sport in the world.

The thing is that we have a very good team. Today the top players of the game were Beausejeur, Sánchez, Valdivia, Vidal and Medel. Valdivia was not playing in his position, but he fought, and tried to create some plays. Sánchez was a constant danger for the other team, he is fast, intelligent and a very agile player. Beausejeur scored and was running during the whole game, until he was replaced by Gonzalo Jara, and Vidal and Medel are the greatest defenders in Chile not about position, because every time when they play, they do it with the heart, they use their legs, head, chest and everything to be the player with the ball in their feets.
Weakness? Could be Carmona who received a yellow card very early in the match, but no more than that.

Concluding, definitely was a great game, but we don't have to be relaxed, due to have two more extremely diffuclt games and we have to win to Switzerland and Spain because if you want to be the winner, you have to beat anyone. Probably, if we do that we will be fulfilling the dream of the world cup. Chi-chi-chi-le-le-le Viva Chile!

Are Math and Language more importants that Music or Arts?

Ken Robinson explain the Education in a specific context, but which is
this context? The creativity of our students. Things like annoying
kids when they commit mistakes, are the actions which can stop the
creativity in a person.It supposed to be that we have to learn
about our mistakes and improve our creativity with them. The thing
is, that normally in schools kids can not be like the way they are.

Subjects like math and language are the most important around
the world. In fact, they are because of course we need to learn
how to read and operate with numbers, but not for that reason
we have to leave apart another important subjects like arts and music
for example. I know language and math are importants, but the rest
are important too, we shouldn't forget that not all the kids have
the same capacities for the "important" subjects. Some of them can
develop another important advances in arts or music and we must
encourage the development of these ones.

To conclude I think that creativity is important to improve our
intelligence and capacity of think, like Robinson said we need to
rethink about the decision that we take in importants moments, so
we need to create conscience and do some efforts to help children to
develop their maximum efficiency and try to discover their best
habilities in the most important subjects, not for the school, it
just for them.

Orlan: Do you think you are cool?

Orlan is a famous french artist. I can't believe her idea about
give kisses for money. It is not the best way of call the attention
of the rest of the people. There's a lot of people on the streets
giving free hughs or something like that, and all of us think that
they don't exist; However her art is a good way to catch people who
love this kind of "art" ( if we can call it in that way...)

In my opinion, I don't think that this things which Orlan does, are
ideas of a person who is working with her neurons in a right way. Some
people can say: "Oh, come on, this kind of art rocks! is different!..."
it could be true, but at least in my opinion it doesn't, especially for
the bumps in her forehead which I think are stupid. I know that anyone
can do whatever he/she wants, but I think that this old lady went too far.
Narcissism is for people who don't have more to say than: " Ohhh how
I look?", and that things, they should care their bodies! And the last
thing, if she is an artist, is weird. I prefer Da Vinci, Miguel Angel,
and the other guys.

To conclude I won't be like she, beacuse even some of her artworks
are good, I don't enjoy viewing people who "hurt" his/her body doing things
that I will never do ( some of my friends enjoy this, but I don't). Anyway
any person can do whatever he/she wants, this is a free world ( I think )
and if you want to jump from a building or a plane, is your business.
In my case, if someday I'm a grandpa I do not want to have my arms,
as well as wrinkled, tattooed and that my grandchildren say to me: "Hey,
grandpa when did you do that?" I don't want to say: "That was when I was
eighteens years old and I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life.

The German Fountain rocks!

There are many pieces of art in our city. However, many of us don't have
any idea about our history or the people who was here bafore us. Plenty of sculpture
are spread around the city, and the most common places are the Alameda Bernardo O'higgins, Cerro San Cristóbal, Parque Forestal among others.

I want to talk about a sculpture which is in the Parque Forestal and this is
the "Fuente Alemana" (not the restaurant, that is fantastic! haha). This sculpture was donated by the community chilean-german when our country celebrated its centennial, almost one hundread years ago. It has around 5-6 people who are sailing from The Andes to the ocean. For this reason the boat has in one part a condor and on the other side has a seal, the boat is on a pile of stones where drained with a lot of water.

Anyway I chose it, due to is one of the most imposing sculptures in Santiago and it is a very interesting sculpture. People do not usually take on importance, and the worst thing is that in summer some people go there and swim on the fountain!!! (Most of cases are the chavs or people who don't have money to have a shower). I hope we can create conscience and care of the few good places which we have. Now that you know more about this sculpture, what do you think about this piece of great art?

Inicia destroyed the quality of chilean teachers

Paula magazine did a report about the quality of teachers in our country. INICIA is a test which was take it to students of pedagogy in Chile. Our country got the worst place in this test, 16 out 16.
If we want to see the important things of this article we can find for example, that this was a test which includes most of universities in Chile including our university.
Like Javiera Necochea said: "Student at the university don't learn more concepts and subjects during their 5 years of studies. The important thing is in which school they were teached". That means that they are teaching with the contents that they learnt in their schools.
Personally I suffered this kind problems in one of my schools. I studied for six years out of Santiago in a public school and teachers were reading the newspapers during the class and stuffs like that. But, when I came back to Santiago I went back to José Victorino Lastariia school, public school which gave a lot of studies and very good teachers during my three years there. What I'm trying to say, is that there are some places that even being public they take care or are concerned about their students.
But, who is blame of this situation? I think is shared. Because some universities only for have students in their classrooms they are giving the pedagogy, and they are accepting students with 400 points in the PSU test, that in my own opinion is not fair. Pedagogy needs to have the best scores in this test to have better students. For that reason people or teachers are guilty too. Beacuse they study this careers due to they can not study laws or medicine, only for give an example.
I hope to be a teacher which can give better answers to my students, just because they need to have better opportunities and education in general. To get that, I think I have to study more, and stop being a lazy student. Probably is not the only way to be better, but surely is one of the most important ways.
Teachers need best a good deal and salaries. Is true that money is not the most important thing in our lives, but it helps. Besides teachers are one of the most important professions and they need to be contributed for the daily effort that they make.

Take a new challenge!

I've been doing exercises about "crosswords", I choose a music topic. At the
begining it was a little bit difficult, but then I started to improve my
skills in the crossword challenge, and now I am The Master of this game, probably
because is the only game that I've been playing and now I know the game completely haha ;^). But when I realized that I was the best player ever, I decided to do something else. I went to "Quizzes" en then to "wordmaster", but I didn't have lucky on this game, because I'm not a very good guesser, so I was playing only for a while.

Anyway I think that BBC page is a great page that you can visit, because has like 5 different kind of games, but in each segment has like 100 categories. You can try to make some of these challenges to learn more and see how good are you in english.

Hi!

Hey what's up I'm Camilo and I wrote my first post in this blog. I'm a Universidad Católica fan ( trying to go every time when I can to the stadium ), I love architecture ( something that I have enjoy since I's a kid ), and I play the guitar trying to use the correct chords :^). I work at "Homecenter Sodimac", and I want to leave my work, because they are exploting me (I think I need a better job).
My expectations for this semester are: be a "good" student, past all the subjects, bring peace for all my classmates (you wish haha), and just do my best!
I'm happy but the depression doesn't let me enjoy it.
