My Experiencie learning English at the University

When I think about my experience learning English at the university, the first that I think is that I didn`t learn the sufficient. I believe that this is share responsibility. I mean by that is that I think there are aspects will can to improve for to improve the learning English of the students. In the case of the English Program I think that the main things are two problems and I think that I have responsability in this too.

In the case of the English Program I think that the problems that I lived were: I have adapted me to the diferent methodologies of the diferent teachers in each level, this it caused a discontinuous and unconnected process of learning English. Besides, often the classes didn´t have acording with we needs, interest and speeds of learning. But besides, personally, I believe that have to be fine say them my opinion to the teachers, but I didn´t said them, and I didn´t proposed them any idea. Besides, I have liked me to be more responsible of my learn. For example my debilitated is still the listening, and I think that I advanced very few during the course. I am in the fourth level and I didn´t can still to understand totally a conversation in English Language, my understand is poor, really.

For example the topics of test were frequently economy, sport, travel or places of the world. Personally, I have proximity and interest for the sport and travel. But, I considerer that if the topics will adapt itself to the experiences and interest of the students, we learning will more significant and we will learn more easy. If this will following to be for we more easy to speaking, listening and to will develop a conversation in English Language. The blogs that we developed in the English class are a clear example of this. I would to say that we developed topics according to our interest or experience; and personally, this helped me enough for the reading and writing.

Finally, I like emphasize about three aspects: The English Program is an initiative of the University that possible us to open the frontier in the knowledge and for to related with other persons. Is important that as all learning, this Program should to evaluate itself regulary for the improvement of the program and achievement of learning of students. As student we should to prone to developed our learning acording to our interests. In the future, I would to learn more English Languaje, while other languajes as Mapudungun, Italian and deaf-mute too.

My first artistic photos

One of the memorable moment of my life was when I pose nude for an artistic photos. That moment was very special for me, because it was one of my dreams. It was a surprise for me really.

One day a friend showed me her artistic photos that a prominent photographer took of her. I think and I said her that the photos were beautiful really, beside I comented her that I dream with I pose nude for artistic photos. Then, later on other day she called me for she said me that the photographer would to took me artistic photographs for he publish it in the La Nación newspaper. I don´t can believe it!

When I commented to my parents this, they were disagree immediately, because they thinked that this was scandalous; then I decided to lay them and so I said them that I was not toking the photos.

I was nervous very much the day of the seasson, becasuse never I did not have experiencie, so this situacion was now and want it for me. Later of some minutes I relax me and I enjoid this experiencie very much. Beside, I felt me very comportable, because only we were with my friend and the photographer in the seasson. They helped me very much, beside she make up me and we enjoid very much the experiencie, we disscused the ideas, we laugh us and we eat several delicious foods.

Finally, when the photos were published on Sunday I showed us the newspaper to my parents and they does not can believe it, they were surprised really, later that they were disagree with that, they showed themself very happy because they said me that the photos was very beautiful , so they decided to keep the newspaper.

Later, I repeated the experiencia with other photographer, she is a student, and the photos are very good too. I think to keep doing this, because I lovely it.

A book that impressed me and I like very much was “Ser niño huacho en la historia de Chile”; because this related the position of the poor children in the Chile History. This work was developed for Gabriel Salazar; he is a distinguished Chilean historian. Beside, I like this book because it stimulate into recognition of the children as subject of history and also as tranforme subject of the history. Just as, I think that this book is very interesing and important, because the autor try to restored them to the children a name, an identity, but overcoat this work try to restored them your dignity.

This book describe the poor situacions from of year 1850 until the first decades of 1900. There, the huacho children is a popular sense that it to mean they born outside of the marriage, they do not parents, their parent are instable and rape and overcoast because they are poor.

I don´t know other books tackles this topic. I recommend this book to all the persons interes in the history and politic, or to the interesed persons about topic related with children or education. But, I think is necesary that we know the work of this author since school, because we should to build our own version abuot the history. He related a new history, that is, he propose and related a new history, a social history, it is diferent to the history tradicional.

How green are you?

I think, generally in Chile the people does not know environmentally friendly practices. This matter is fell spread in the school and the audiovisual aids; beside fell persons konw and to be interesed in this topic, just as, in the city does not implement the conditions for the enviroment care. This is worrying, because it is know, that some dayly practices of the human damage the enviromentally, and the pollution cause harmful effects on the human and other living (se, beside the pollution is a danger for the live and existence of the planet.

Some dayly practices do not contribute to enviroment care are for example: when you leave the computer on and you do not use it, you away the mobile phone, the batteries or books; the tree fell, the dust, when you use plastics products or disposable nappy; when you do not separate the garbage or you to fling the garbarage or the oil in inadequate places, you consume process food, you use incorrectly the car, and to smoke. Some products that you should to avoid to use are: chlorine, pesticide, hormones, phosphate, artificial coloring and artificial fire.

I do not incorporated recycling into my habits, but I make some dayly practices that it could to help into enviroment care. For example almost always I try to save water , hardly ever I do not throw garbarage on the ground, if I do not find a trash can near of me, I prefer to put the garbarege in my pocket or in my handbag and later I put it in a trash can. Beside, I try to use fell plastic bag, just as, when I do not use the household appliances, I turn off it, and to put out electricity too. Regrettablely, I use fell the bike for the transfer, because the University is very far, then, I have to leg the bus and underground. But, when I am in my city, I try to walk for transfer.

I do not join to any eco-organisations, because I do not have the enough time for to devote and it do not in my priority. Although, I like to know more about recyclin for I incorpored into my habits, and this way I help to the enviromentally care.

According to the VOA Special English Health Report, written by Caty Weaver, when the persons sleep an amount enough hour according to their age, and anyway this amount hours are a bedtime routine, in consequence they get better results in different field of their development.

“ Parents know a nightly bedtime is not always easy to enforce. But researchers say bedtime rules may improve a child's development.”

Researchers say that the child go to bed around the same time every night and early bedtime, they get better results in score (higher score) and in the develop of the abilities in language, reading, and math skills. Beside, a study in the journal Sleep Medicine reveals that when the children go to bed after nine o`clock, they delayed more to fall asleep and slept less.

Other study says that the adults should slept between seven and eight hours each night; while the teenagers and young adults should slept nine hours or more. Like this, who make sport can to improve their performance ; for example the sporty persons run faster. They “should be part of an athlete's training program because reduce a sleep debt”

Sex and the City: the movie

One of my favorite hobbies is I watch movies, really I enjoy it very much, therefore is difficult for me to choose alone one. My favorites genres are the drama, documentary, action, comedy, classic, animated, and finally the science-fiction.

The last movie that I watched went Sex and the City 1, but I do not watched it in the cinema, I watched it in my house, because, today it is not in the cinema as only it was released during the 2008 age.

This movie is base in the TV series of HBO channel ; the series call Sex and the City too, it went blockbuster. This movie narrate the story of the aventures of love of four friends New Yorkers. They are around thirty years old. The main caracter are four, those caracters went interpreted for the actresses Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Cynthia Nixon y Kristin Davis .

“Sex and the city: the movie” does not soundtrack. But, the responsible person of the realization of the music of this movie went Aaron Zigman.

Although, some experts critics think that the story of this movie is bad and discredits it to the series,personally and really I believe that this movie is very entertaining, its story is light and surprising. Also, we remember that the genres of this movie are the comedy and the romantic. Definitely, I recomend it. Also, if you like it this movie, you not should to miss the second part: " Sex and the city 2"

Challenges in my Discipline

Our dicipline should facing several important challenges in three diferent areas: the Technology, Social matters and Education. In this dicipline the technology is very important, because the education need to be updet with the advances of the global social. So, nowadays the dicipline need to add the new technology in the learning. This should happen always.

But, the access to this techonology is uneven, because this access demand many money. This is a social problem and so this is educational problem too that we should to be conscious of the problem, because we should assure us that all the student could have the same opportunity of learning, this is a big challenge for the sociaty, the education and the school community too.

I think that the education have facing challenges constantly, so is very important that we reflect about this challenges in diferent matters in diferent contexs acording to the student need connect with the global social. This is a our duy.

News

The football world is in mourning

Today around the world, the Media speak about the suicide of Robert Enke. He was a german talented goalkeeper and he was very young, only he has thirty two years old. This goalkeeper will participate in the football world championship, he also had participate in the next game of Gemany against of Chile. But this game was cancel because your fellow team were very sad, so they asked that the ANFP cancel this game, and it agreed your request inmediately.

Lamentably, he decided to comint suicide the 10th Tuesday of november, because he couldn't stand the pain that the death of your little daughter to provoke him. Lara is the name of your little daughter, she die of a cardiac illness and she was buried near of the rail way. There, in the north of Hannover the german goalkeeper decided flung himself to that rail. Of this manner Robert Enke cominted suicide.

Improving your Faculty Facilities

Lately we can to use several facilities in the Social Faculty, for example: Computer room, Library, Cafeteria, Gim, Restroom and two Photocopiers.

Lately the situation in the Social Faculty about the Facilities has been improved, but in general I think that even the facilities of this Faculty have problems of infrastucture and coverage, for example the number of computer do not enough for the quantity of student that need to use it.

The space of the Library is small and it need more book present for each carrer according with its need academically, specially for the Preschool and Primary Teaching Training carrer program. The Restroom should to have more number of toilet, more ventilation for it have better small, and it should always have available toilet paper too. The Cafeteria should have more variety of products for it offer us, it lower of the its products, and the dishes should be more blunt and it identical for the student, teachers and functionaries.

Election Day

I was registered to vote from five years ago, when I have eighteen years. I believe that is important that we give our opinión about the policies, because we could to choose a representative govern of our ideas, howeber I believe this dificult because in the next election neither presidential candidate to propose ideas that it convince me. So, I believe that my vote is important, because I say that I disagree with your ideas. An invalid vote is important too, because it represent that there are any bad in this election. Any does not order.
In my opinion the electoral campaings only spend many Money, and I believe this do not need. In the electoral campaings there are many lies, so I think the persons should to reflect about the proposes and solutions of the presidential candidate for to social, economic, educational problems. We should to compare the diferent ideas and so we should review it too.
The person running for president should to have good intentions, this is the qualitie most important for me.

Criminal Laws

I think that the capital punishment reduce the criminaly, but I don`t believe that it is a good solution, because it is an unfair measure for the persons might have made offense, since we don`t have the rights of the got the life of this persons. This measure bring fear between the persons and at the same time it legitimize the violence, the offenseand the murder inside the society. Although some persons believe that this measure have pros in capital punishment because it "eliminate" to the persons that are a public menace, I think that this mesaure don`t pros, only it cause cons in the society and since in the persons.

Is difficult to suggest a measure should the goverment take to reduce criminality rates in Santiago, because I believe that are varied the reason that origin the crimes.

In your opinion, what is the origin of the increasing criminality rates in Chile?
For example, today the increasing criminaly rates in Chile and the posibble causes derive of the Politician sistem Chilean, Economic sistem Chilean and Social sistem Chilean. Social inequality, high prices. Other posibble cause derivan the valour and personality of the persons.

Isla de Pascua: A country I would like to visit

I would like to go to Isla de Pascua for several reasons. I lovely too visit this island because its landscape is really beautiful. Anyway the culture of its people is very mystic as their style life, belief, rituals, dancing and tipical food too. But the more brigth for me are the Moais, wich are a only statues kind in the world. I love this island because it is mystic and exotic.
Isla de Pascua is a Chilean Island locate in Ocean Pacific center and it belongs to Valparaiso, wich is the fifth region of Chile. The Rapanui is its original language; and this island is very well-know for its dancing and Moais, wich are big stone estatues.
I would like to go to xxx beach, to swim underwater, know its histories, the schools and the education of it, anyway i would like to visit the Moais, to dance its typical dancing and to eat very much ist typical food.
Now, I don`t think to study, work or live in Isla de Pascua, but if in the future I will need and I would to live there, I live in Isla de Pascua. I believe that I will study here only if I will know something that it attract my attencion and it cause me many curious for example something related with education, sport or culture, but really I don`t know if I would like to study, work or live in this island.

First Term: Good and Bad Points

My experience in the first term 2009

I learned several lessons about the different topics of each subject in the last term , but I believe that one of the most important topics for me was Dance and Understanding of the Social environment, because first of all I could learn to express my emotions and thoughts with my body through the music. Secondly I learned the importance of learning about history.
Generally I play Basketball on Saturday and in my free time I share with my classmates, my friends and my boyfriend or I work in packing in the Lider Supermarket once or twice a week and once on weekend.

The main challenges that I had to face last term were two. I had to read many text and I did several report for the different subjects too while I had to do other activities.

In my winter vacation my cousin Marcos was in the hospital during nine days because He lost a kidney then I visited him almost every day because I was very worried about him.

******Segundo semestre*******

My blogging experience

I like this experiencie so so, because although I believe that the blog is a experiencie innovative for I can to perfect my english, but I thing that this activity need more time for that we spent it well . Although I enjoy, I believe that I could to enjoy more because the time busy went insufficient for I share and interact with my classmatter and I make a free write about my things, reflects and ideas. I thing that the advantage is that we practices our english vocabulary through a technological resource, besides we could correct us with my classmates and we can to learned of the experiencies of the other. Besides, the disavantages of the blogging are the few time and that in my case I don't internet so went dificult finished in due time and I spent more the blog.

My ideal job...

My ideal job would be a job to make possible the innovation, for example in my future I would like work as teacher in the clasroom and in the Educational Innovation Proyects, because I believe that is important that a job have sence for me and that I can decide, participate and put forward my ideas about matter of the work.

For this job I need to be capable of I observe, reflect, discuss and reach an agreement with other persons relate with the job.

I believe that I would be good at this job because fristly I lovely this type of job because I am an active and curious person and I like discovered and solved educational problems. Besides the carrer prepare us for the Action-Investigation at matter Educational.

The principal difficult that I would find in this kind of job is that the proposals of the investigation can't to make in the practice.

my favority subject

Having to choose a favority subject is difficult for me, because I like many subjetcs of this career, for example : Psychology, Development and Learning, Social history of Chile, Imaginary Infantile and Knowledge of Social Environment. I like this Subjetcs for diferent reasons, firstly because its contents are interesant for me;second because the teachers doesn´t develop a tradicional pedagogical Methodology, then we reflect about the topics of the subject and we can propose other topics of our interest too, besides I can to talk with they about the topics of the subjetc, besides we can to discuss with they and they answer our doubts too, they are willing to help their students all the time; and finally because this teachers are specialists in their subject.

My future

I would like to work in innovation proyect educational and I will specialize in the study about the special need of trainning and I could to work like psychopedagogist, this in the professional plane . I would like to have an own family (I will dislike more of four children), and I would like to travel too, first of all to Las Torres de Paine and later I would like to know the other Chile places and finally I would like to travel around the world, for example I would like to know Rome, Egypt, Canada and Brasil in the other places of the world.

But the most important for me is I could to keep like to my friends and my parents together for me and I will enjoy the life. I believe that this is the most important for me because the futuro is uncertain as I don't it that could happen. Only I wait to decide well following that it makes me feel well, in the future. I will dislike to die young and neither tragically.
