Blogging experience

In my point of view this experience, the "blogging experience", is so useful for us as learners of English because we can improve our writing skills and our reading comprehension.

We usually don't have the time to do this writing activities just because we are too busy doing other kinds of things like other subject homework or even our work esperience don't leave us the enough time to study english, wich I think is very unfair.

I really had a good time doing this posts even though I'm not a computer person ,you know? I'm so late about this technological instruments like the internet , but this blog really helped me because I know that in the future everything will have to be in the computer and everyone will have to know how to use it and how to deal with it.

As I'm not a technological person, I will have to learn everything about it and I think this is my first step to it.

I've never had a blog and to show my interests and my personal opinion about some sort of things it was amazing , I used to think that these things were just for fun and that the people who use these things didn't have anything else to do but I realized that I was so wrong because this way to share information, to share ideas and to share opinion is really interesting and funny and comfortable because you can read about everything here just from your home.( If you have a computer, of course)

About the blog, is so useful in many ways, first of all we practice our writing skills as I already said, other thing we learned is to give our opinion, every time we posted we had to give our opinion about other people's post and that was a really cool idea because we could give our opinion even if you agree with the writter or not, I think it was really good.

I really enjoyed doing these activities...

how about you , my dear readers?....did you enjoy diong this thing??...

tell me about it...

Lucky number

I really don't believe in these things so much ...like the "lucky number"..but ...I have one favorite number...and it is seven.

I really don't know why , but ....I think its cute, hahah...I don't have any idea ...I just pick one number...

My daddy used to like this number...he told me that if I played the lottery and I chose that number I would probably win a lot of money...but...anyway I've never tried...

He thought that this number was his lucky number...and...probalby because of that I think it is my favorite one.

My House

Ok…this looks easy but it really isn’t…

My house is pretty big , my mother decided to build it as big as possible I think , because there’re some places in my house that we really don’t use….and I think they are a waste of space.

But…anyway...I love and hate my house at the same time , it’s kind of confusing…I love it because it ‘is really my place, the place where I can do what I want , where I share with my lovely family and where I like to be most of the time , and I hate it …just because I loved more the house that we had when I was a little child I didn’t want to move…oh God I loved that house!...but…just details..

A place I would like to visit....

woou ....tough decision !!!

I would like to visit every single place in my country....but the place that I think I would like the most is the north of Chile ,maybe San Pedro de Atacama because Ì've known that it's a place full of quiet places and many foreign people go there , I think it would be very very relaxing to go there during my vacations.

Maybe I could try to do some sport there like Sandboard ..that's one of the things I'm looking forward to learn and...all that kind of sports: Snowboard, Surfing and Sandboard.

And also I could see the desert wich I think is great ....or the "Salar de Atacama"...wich is beautiful I think.

The other place thati would like to visit is the south ....once I went to the national park Conguillio...and it is beautiful I would like to go there again....

But anyway .....I have to save a lot of money togo there..so I really don't think I would go soon.

MOTIVATION ESSAY

Ok …after reading the article of motivation I decided to do it about this topic. I completely agree with the ideas that are explained in it , actually, I’m trying to apply the thing about the rewards and punishment when I’m in the school, I really know how important is to be reward if you do something good at school, even if you just answer a question with the correct answer and the teacher say to you that that’s ok.

It is so comforting when you sense that your teacher trust in you and encourage you by saying that you have all the abilities to be such a great student and if you keep like that you’re going to climb very high in the mountain of life ( I always remember that a teacher told me that when I was about to give the PSU)

Ok , but , talking about the essay, I’m going to write about this issue “the motivation” and maybe I’ll complement it with other article…I don’t know yet.

Hope you like my essay,

Bye.

Education

why is it so important?

Uufff tough question! it is important because of so many things that I don't know how can I start.

Fisrt of all you're educating children , the future of our country , the ones who could really make a change in our so narrow-minded society, so why is it important? here's my answer. Nowadays some teachers are so decifient in their duties s educators , the just do this job because it's simply a job, and let's be realistics , a teacher doesn't make huge amounts of money so I don't really understand why are they doing this , the should know how harmful are they being doing their jobs badly.The're teaching to our future (children) to be mediocre and to be indifferent and unconcient about our reality.

this is just one thing , one little aspect of why it is so important.

I truly believe that we as critic teacher should put our education in the right why in the right road because it's loosing its main point that it's to build persons who can really coexist with others in a good way and cooperate with the construction of a better country to live.

Victory City

ok ,...let's start talking about this future city like if we were living in it.

It would be so comfortable to be in a a city where everyhthing is near and maybe all the things yo could ever need would be just in one building!

It wold be just awesome, because if you want to go to by some clothes for your kids you may go to the first floor and the if you want to go to the supermarket you just have to go up one floor.

It is mention in this future city webpage that cars won't be necessary inside the city because of this elevator transportation system and it would be reallly grat because of the pollution issue, it will avoid all those kinds of problems like the flu that you could get because of the pollution and many more.

but , in the other hand, it surely has a bad side,because if you start to think that everything you could ever want you could get it in just one building people's physical shape would start to change,have you ever seen Wall-E , the film?...

well...in this movie you can see that people is living in a very advance city in a ship in the space , very very comfortable, but they are not even able to walk just because of this electric wheelchair that it is supposed to take you wherever you want and you don't have to make any effort to move your body. I think that's not so good.

In the fim you can see that people are so fat and useless at the time of walking that it really impress me.

I think a city of the future like Victory city may have some advantages and desadvantages , it could be very comfortable but maybe unhealthy too.
