Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of the things that I really do not like me the most is Technology. To be honest, I have no idea why I am not interested in latest gadgets, laptops, and stuff like that.
However, I have to accept that technology is a necessary tool to our times. Internet, for example, has permitted people get in touch with their families, new cultures and new sources of knowledge, making our lives a little bit easier.
Despite of everything I wrote before, I would like to state that I really liked to write every single Friday about my deepest thoughts in my blogspot. At the very beginning of the year, I did not want to create a blog because I thought I will have much more important things which I will have to be worried about. Fortunately, the appreciation that I had about the blog changed completely as time start passing.
For that reason, I am very grateful for the opportunity that I have had to improve my writing ability, and also my reflexive skills. All that because language V was a course where I could find a place to reflect about the experiences that I was living in my laboral experience, and also about my feelings, my thoughts and ideas about Chilean problems…even I could made complaints.
To tell you the truth, I could say that I enjoy very much to write in the blog. Sometimes was a bit difficult to write what I thought about a specific thing, which I did not even have the answer. I would have also liked to write in the blogathon, but I could not do it because I am part of the university’s pastoral, and that demand me many time, but, when one wants to achieve things has to make sacrifices. Besides, I am happy to work for things that I strongly believe are necessary to the world’s improvement.
In short, I could write that it was interesting to write in my blog. It has been a very constructive experience to me, and I wish following writing in it. =)

"IT SEEMS that Education is not doing its homework". Desmotivated students, teachers who underestimate their students, parents who are not worried about what their children are learning, and whose do not help their children to achieve their goals is just the top of the iceberg.
WE, AS STUDENTS, in many times, have experienced what it means to feel desmotivated. According to that, I could write that I totally agree with Litterjohn's points of view about motivation, and the way in which schools are leading with this strong force that has to be develop for the whole educational community: "The pretty delicate Motivation".
NEVERTHELESS, schools are killing their students, and the worst thing is that anybody does anything about it!.Teachers are not taking the pieces of advice that a teacher, as Andrew Litterjohn, is giving them in order to get better their educational practices, and education.
ALL the previous said, unfortunalely, it is an uncomfortable truth. Students are not care about their learning, their self-esteem and confidence are being affected by teachers who underestimate their student`s skills, and that also want their students behave in a silence and very quite way, not avoiding their students to learn what they really are interested in.
FOR that, I am really delighted with the idea of writing about this common problem which schools are not conscious at all. I hope to write all I think about motivation and the main problems that schools have with this beatiful word which is spelling: M O T I V A T I O N.

:::..Creativity..:::
Since I was a child I loved to create new things, but then I started felling that school was killing my skills and it just was trying to transform me into someone who I was not. I really cannot tell you when that happend to me, but I have something inside of me that told me that someone stole my mind, my creativity.
For that, I absolutely agree with Ken Robinson when he said that schools kill creativity because schools do not allow students to think by themselves. Problems come when schools want their students to create very good things, however, educational system have not done anything to improve these "created skills" in their students.
Ken Robinson told us that school and all people who works in it, had to rethink their practices because reflection was a perfect way to get better the educational system. Robinson also said that education has to be taken seriously in order to develop creativity and knowledge.
One of another things that caught my attention was the fact that in school are creating workers and not people who wants to live their life as they want to. According to that, I come to the conclusion that schools are killing creativity, as Robinson told it, because instead of developing a creative thinking in students, schools are just giving to their children the tools that they need to be good workers but not creators of new and better things.
I really think that as future teachers have to be aware of our practices, all the time in order to not to fall into the same bad things that is reproducing every single day " our dear schools".
cheer all my classmates up!

Victory city ... A real proyect or just a dream?
It seems that human beings really were created to carry out very big things. Nevertheless, many of those "very big things" escape from the reality and they turn into unreal . I write all this, then watching a magic website, called Victory city.
THE IMPOSING "VICTORY SECRET" is a dream that had Mr. Simpsons when he was only 13. As he realized that his idea was extremely unreal, he decided to kept it in secret during some years. It was in 1960 when he had the neccessary courage to make known his proyect about Victory city.
Victory city is what its name tell us, a city. On it, we will be able to see fly cars, innovated buildings and many tecnological devices which will convert our lives into easier ones.
I really think, this is a perfect utopia. All this because, if we observate the world, this has not change very much since 1900. When my mother was a child. That perfect woman thought that the future will be a tecnological one, plenty of tecnology and services which will help people to have a better quality of live. But, if we see the world, it seems that someone have totally swindled us.
For that, I strongly believed that instead of thinking about doing new cities where pollutions or problems fly away, we should do something for getting better the beautiful world that we have.
We must preserved our natural resources, animals and forestal area, even a little tree. We, as teacher, must be aware of the big mision that we have and show that we are coherent teachers in our whole lives.

To be honest, I am not a person who spends many hours watching movies. I really like watch movies but as I do not have enough time I do not watch them at all. Actually, I would like to have more time, or at least organize my time in order to watch all movies or read all book that I want to.
However, two weeks ago, I watched a movie which really caught my attention. It called " The Illusionist". The film was directed by Neil Burger and sarted in Eward Norton, Paul Giamatti and Jessica Biel.
The films is a romantic one. It is about a man that is a illusionist who fell in love of a beautifil aristocratic woman. They know when they were children, but as she was rich, her family separed from the future illusionist.
They grow up and life united them. As she was engaged with a crown prince, they can not be together, but as love is stronger, they articulated a plan in order go away together. The illusionist designed a perfect plan doing magic and of course lying to the people with many illusions.
I liked it the most this movie because, they really struggled hard to achieve what they want. The bad thing about this, is that they lied to people, but in the war and love all is possible, isn't it?

To be honest, I have many favourite songs which go to Pop music from romantic one. Nevertheless, I really can not give up listening to "This is the last time" by British group Keane. This successful group have many others good songs such as: "Try again", "Sunshine", "Bedshaped between others. (They are excelent!) Well, if you want to know when was the first time that I heard "This is the last time" was when I was lying on my bed listening to music in "Play fm" radio. Since that moment, I started to looking for the lyric of the song and I quickly uploaded the song to my cell. I like pretty much all Keane's songs because the music's sounds are perfect and they make me fly so far away. When I want to relax, I like to listen to Keane, and specially this song because I can cry if I can or feel in the clouds, if I wish! I listen to a specific song depending of my state of mind, for that, I strongly believe that music is fuel to soul. Don't you think?
This is the last time - Keane-
THIS IS THE LAST TIME
THAT I WILL SAY THESE WORDS
I REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME
THE FIRST OF MANY LIES
SWEEP IT INTO THE CORNER
OR HIDE IT UNDER THE BED
SAY THESE THINGS THEY GO AWAY
BUT THEY NEVER DO
SOMETHING I WASN´T SURE OF
BUT I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF
SOMETHING I FORGET NOW
BUT I´VE SEEN TOO LITTLE OF
THE LAST TIME
YOU FALL ON ME FOR ANYTHING YOU LIKE
YOUR ONE LAST LINE
YOU FALL ON ME FOR ANYTHING YOU LIKE
AND YEARS MAKE EVERYTHING ALRIGHT
YOU FALL ON ME FOR ANYTHING YOU LIKE
AND I NO I DON´T MIND
THIS IS THE LAST TIME
THAT I WILL SHOW MY FACE
ONE LAST TENDER LIE
Letras4U.com » letras traducidas al español
AND THEN I´M OUT OF THIS PLACE
SO TREAD IT INTO THE CARPET
OR HIDE IT UNDER THE STAIRS
SAY THAT SOME THINGS NEVER DIE
WELL I TRIED AND I TRIED
SOMETHING I WASN´T SURE OF
BUT I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF
SOMETHING I FORGET NOW
BUT I´VE SEEN TOO LITTLE OF
THE LAST TIME
YOU FALL ON ME FOR ANYTHING YOU LIKE
YOUR ONE LAST LINE

Santiago of Chile
April 17th, 2009
Metro of Santiago Corporation:
I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with your transportation system, because all mornings, when I try to get a bus to go to the University It makes me, almost impossible to use the subway of our city. Therefore, I am wondering if you could introduce an improvement about this disgusting problem.
I really think, this is a lack of respect for everybody who use frecuently the subway because every morning this service is full of people who want to get on time at their destination places, however, it is difficult to them to achieve their proposes when they have to wait for a long time in order to get on a bus. And in the case people can get on a bus, they have to travel as poor animal squashed together.
In fact, I am competely fed up with this situation and I think that you have to improve many things in this service because is your responsibility as corporation.
I hope this matter will not be treated lightly.

and the winners are...
[...] After watching my classmates' blogs. I have decided to analyze Anita Muñoz and Marta Gutiérrez blogs. In general, I could say that all my classmates have been worried about pimping thier blogs. They have uploaded pictures, have changed the template, the letter font and many other things that really have called my attention.
Nevertheless, as I wrote it in the first paragraph, my winners are Anita and Marta's blogs. They both blogs have its style. For example, in Anita's blog I found many things, the blog was penty of colors and pictures. When I watched it I thought I was looking or reading a newspaper because it had pictures related with Japanesse animations, which made me imagine that, those pictures were publicity posters! I also liked the colorful pink template that she had and also the font letter that she used to write.
Marta's blogs had a little bit formal template, for that reason I liked it. It is weird but, I liked Anita's blog which was full of colors but I also liked Marta's blog because represented my more formal site. When I watched Marta's blog I could see that it was plenty of interesting posts. She had nice photos and is worried about making her blog a beatiful one.
both blogs really fascinated me!!!

My complain!
Mrs. Michelle Bachelet Heria
President of Chile
President of Chile
I am writing to you in order to let you know that I do not pretty agree with the way that politicians, judges and all government are doing their job. I have tried to understand the things that makes me feel powerlessness, but it has become impossible.
I am conscious of you are not who has the whole power to change all irregular things that happen in our country but, al least, I strongly believe you will consider my point of view and you will try to do something to improve the problem that I will describe you.
The thing is that I really can not figure out why our judicial system leaves to thieves, burglars and criminal people free instead of keeping them in jail!
Innumerable times, We as citizens have been witness of murders, robberies but unfortunately, then, we see those people free just because judges determinate it.
I would like you could do something because I think jail should be a place where people could rehabilitate of those bad actions which damage our society. However in our country and in many ones, people who has the power of change in some way the course of the things not do anything or not what they should do as leaders and representatives of the citizenship.
For all I have expressed, I think people in jail should have classes, workshops and many others activities in order to give them new opportunities and let them know they can get over instead of let them free without support them.
Apretiating all yout time and hoping you could do something about this,
Warm regards,

Easter*
As a catholic person, in Easter I celebrated that Christ died and raised from the dead for us! I was pretty happy because his love was stronger than the dead!
Well, that saturday, I went to the church and I paid attention in all the lectures that different people read. I felt very touched because I could realize that God loves us and he is going to be always with us and he is willing to forgive all our sins!

BBC: A strong tool who wants to learn a very good english
On the web, there are many web sites which are supposed to help people's demands or intelectual needs. However, in real life, they are not got at all.
BBC comes to make the difference! If you visite this web page you will realize how useful and necessary this page is who wants to improve their english skills. For examples, people can find infomation about grammar, vocabulary, pronounciation between many other interesting things.
It really caugth my attention the phonetics part and its pronounciation videos. They were plenty of good ideas to learn english in an assisted way. I practiced some sounds and it was nice to do it listening to the blonde hair woman. She had her style!
Another thing I liked it was a link where people can know new words and old words that now have different meanings. All this, in order to keep your english up to date. At the same time, this british site, offers to us the opportunity to check what we have learnt through quizzes. Also, BBC permit us to download information such us posters, videos, charts(...)
Yet, BBC is not just an english web site it is also a page where people can be informed about different kind of topics such as: The national bed month of british people, news, sport new, radio, TV, weather, healthy and, of course, language.
So, english students we don't hesitate to use this web site and of course share this link with people who be interested in knowing more about english.
