the last post

Hi friends!
In general, the English course was a good experience, first to meet partners of other courses and because I learned more than I had learned at school.
My experience with blogs was positive because it was the second time I made ​​use of this digital platform (the first was in English 3) and I think it's a very useful tool. Besides, I had never before written so much about my opinions and likes in English. Also, it was useful to know my classmates, about their likes, interests and favorite things. In my view, it was the most funny part of the English class, it was free and we could speak at length better. Write the blogs was very useful to improve my English because I had to use translators and English web pages to learn about the topics that I had to write.
I believe that use blogs is positive in the learning of English, because I think that writing in English is always easier to talk, so it served to develop and improve our abilities. In that sense, I believe that the disadvantages were too few, because the use of translations pages and the support of internet facilitate very much the learning that writing in your own words that perhaps may be wrong.
Well, in that sense, I urgently need to improve my spoken english, because I do not speak very well. I also sometimes get confused at times of verbs, that's something I need to improve.
Finally, outside the English class I do not use a lot of English. except for the music I listen, I barely speak any English daily, I think it must be because I don't have someone to to interact in English, I'll have to get a foreign friend jijij.
Well this is my last post ...
Bye!

future job?


I don’t really know what kind of job I want to have; I think that this is because I don’t know very well if it’s the sociology is the career that I want to follow. But, exists some things that makes me have a “clue” that I want to do, or better, that I don’t want to do. 

It’s sad to remember the first day of classes when everybody said and thought that sociology could "change the world" and then, encounter with subjects with nothing to do with that wish. It's made you feel that changing the world was becoming more distant as more you sank in the academic world and university.

But not everything is so bad, I think that contribute to social change depends on each one of us, while we oriente the discipline to the real problems of our country and our people.

For this reason there are places where a sociologist may contribute to this change, such as foundations, NGOs and some organizations dependent on the State. But always taking into consideration and horizon the actual social problems: bad distribution of income, poverty, social segregation, education, health and housing, among other thousands of problems of our society.

When you choose a job I think there are important aspects to consider, such as: who you're working it, because is useless wanting to contribute to social change and work to the great economic and political groups that exploit and oppress our people .

To conclude, I have no idea that I would say in a job interview. That sort of thing cause me a bit of rejection. Especially when people have to "describe" themselves and talk about their thousands of "potential" and no weaknesses, WHAT A LIE.

Free theme: CATS!!

Hi friends!

Today I’m going to talk about my favorite animal. The cat.

The cat is a mammal of the feline family, like the lion and tiger. It follows that the family of the felines is very varied.The cats are small domestical animals, soft, tender, friendly, loving and very clean. Is one of the most popular pets around the world. Domestic cats usually live between 14 and 20 years.

The physical characteristics of cats are: agility, they have a long tail, they have a great ear (they can move each ear independently of the other) and generally, their senses are much more developed than the humans. There are many different races of cats (approximately 80). Every race of cat has its own patterns based on physical characteristics such as hair length, color or drawings of the coat.

I love cats because I always had cats as pets. They are very faithful and always make good company. Also, I think that they are the cutest thing that exists in the world. nothing is more tender than a cat sleeping and purring.

As I said before they are perfect pets that can live with you. in addition, they require very little cares and are very self-sufficient.

A freak detail: probably because of their agility and strength, and his ability to fall on their feets, is said that they have seven lives, a number considered good luck. Moreover, in many cultures are considered sacred animals.

What about you? What is your favorite animal?
I hope you like cats.
Meow!

How green are you?

Hi friends!

Today I'm going to talk about caring the enviroment

In the last time, the global warming has become in one of the most important problems that we have as society in the world, crossingall the political opinions, social classes or place where people live, because the environment is very important for everyone, and we all have to be able ton save our world of the destruction that ourselves have done.

In that sense, nowadays is very easy to find information about environmentally friendly practices, because they are disseminated by the governmets, ONG’s and companies, encouraging practices like the recycling and making it more easy to do. For example, in my house, we recycle an important part of the garbage, and it’s very easy because there is a truck that goes every week to take the recycling. Also I try to don’t use electric machines as it’s possible, don’t waste water unnecessarily and I go everywhere in my bike when it’s possible too, because I live a little far of the places I use to go to. Some years ago, I have been working in a organization that plants trees in the Santiago’s hills, but I have stopped working there.

I think that all these everyday practices are very important to take care of the environmet, but all those things that the normal people use to do, must be accompainde with politics that regulates the big industries, because they pollute a lot of the pollution produced in the world, and sometimes is better for them to pay more taxes than having a way of production more friendly with the environment.

Open sky museum

Today I’m going to talk about the Open Sky Museum in Departamental.

One day I was traveling in a transantiago bus and saw this beautiful paints, is a set of twenty five murals located in the south of the city of Santiago. These works were painted in the blank walls of the “blocks” builded on Avenue Departmental.

The residents wants to stop and eliminate the deterioration of the buildings of the San Miguel population, produced by a lot of contamination, graffitis, scratches and wallpapers that make part of the sector. The cultural centre “Mixart” work patiently for three years to make this big masterpiece, with the support of the neighbors and some authorities.

The main theme of these paintings is the social culture, as the Mapuche culture, Latin America, the people of Chiloe, Human rights, the Communist Party and Chilean literature. All works were carried out with participation and support of Chilean artists, on the occasion of the 50 years of the town San Miguel and the Bicentennial of Chile.

The museum is open 24 hours, seven days a week, and it’s an example of the talent of our artists and our culture, open to anyone who wants to see it. It’s clearly a great job painting a building of 5 floors and shaping our culture there.

I hope you know it, it’s a beautiful experience.

Cheers!

free theme: requiem for a dream


Hi friends! Today I’m going to talk about one of my favorites things: watch movies. But, I want to talk about a specific movie, was a difficult choice because I’m completely in love with the films and I have a lot of favorites movies so… it was a difficult decision.
Well, I will talk about “Requiem for a Dream”.
The movie shows the life of Sara, who spends her days alone, watching infomercials, and pining for her youngness. Her son Harry is a drug addict who spends his time creating music. Harry’s girlfriend Marion fancies herself a fashion designer, but is also a drug addict. It’s summer, and Sara gets a random phone call announcing that she’s won a chance to appear on a game show. She decides she’s going to fit into her favorite red dress when the time comes and starts a doctor prescribed weight loss regiment that includes drugs.
The film depicts different forms of addiction, leading to the characters’ imprisonment in a world of delusion and desperation that is subsequently overtaken and devastated by reality. I like this movie because it shows things in a very realistic way and have an amazing soundtrack, also it brings back great memories of my school times.
I hope to you see and enjoy this masterpiece!
Cheers!!

best holidays


Hi readers

Today i’m going to talk about my best holiday. All my life I traveled the north of Chile with my family, we usually go to the city of La Serena to the beach Guanaqueros. So I love traveling to the fourth region of Chile, it’s a beautiful place, there is nothing better than watching the stars in the Elqui. In this summer, also traveling with my family, I traveled with my friends to a friend's house in La Serena, that is, travel to the same place twice in less than a month, jajaja.

I was with all my friends for a week and we did a lot of things, like cooking new things everyday. Hanging out to very late and to know the place and the beach. As my friends are musicians, we went to the Plaza de La Serena to play music and the tourists gave us a lot of money, and so survived. Sometimes, we went to the beach and drank Melvin (melon with wine ajaj) and eat bread with margarine, that was part of our regular diet.

Well, I supposed that this year we will make a new trip. Obviously that will be amazing.
