Post 10: English Challenges

Hello every body,

This is a final Blogs. and today I'm going to wright about my English experience and  English Challenges.
First I would like mention that I don't like English. The English is very difficult for me, but I think it is very important for my life, especially for my career, Sociology.
Despite of I don't like English, I think, is very important study  English in the university, because it is necessary for my  professional achievement.
I think not only does English serve for my career, or my profession, but also it serve for interaction with the different persons, the English is very useful for to travel, although every time exist different way for to express what I fell.

In general I think that I need the practice vocabulary, because without vocabulary is very difficult understand what I reed or what I listen, but in most difficult talk  in English.
Many time I reach understand what I listen but I need time for process in my mind the information, it is the reason because many time  I be late in answer.

I think that learn any language, is don't enough to have classes once a week. I think the best way for learn a language is live in a place where to use this language. In the future, my idea is live in any place where I be compulsory to use the English. I think that is only form for learn the English.

In my life I don't using English outside the English class, because in this moment is not necessary in my life, but I know that any day I need the English.

Post 8: Summer plans

Hi everybody, today I going to talk about my plans for this summer.

In the summer me and my boyfriend will travel to Bolivia and Peru between February 18th and March 4th. First we will go to Bolivia, we travel to Calama and we cross Salar de Uyuni, then we will go to La Paz City, Cochabamba and Santa Cruz. We will go to the Titi Caca Lake, when we visit the sun island. we will cross to Peru and we will go to Cusco and Machu Pichu. Finally we will go to Lima when my parents live.

To be able to make this trip, we have to work. Our plans are to finish the university in December. In January and in the middle of February we are working in anything to save money for the trip. We have an idea to collect around of 600.000 pesos together.

In general I like to read novels in the summer, I like to sleep very much, watch movies, go to the beach, and specially rest. But this summer I can't do all these things because I need to work for the trip, but I will look for a time  to read the novels, or go to the cinema, or go to the bar with my friends, or simply sleep.

For one weekend I would like go to the beach, I love the beach, watching the sea, walking on the sand and wet my feet. I love to read, lay down in the sand. I would try to go to the beach while I'm working  to relax a little while.

Post 7: My Best Friend

Camila is my best friend. We met in the school, We were classmates since 7°. In the school we sat together in the class, we went to the party and looked at the boys. We shared our different experiences, cried and laughed together.

In 2006 we went to the dance academy to dance "pascuense", that was very funy.

Today we had 11 years of friendship, these years have been magnificent, we traveled to Valparaiso, Algarrobo and Bahia Inglesa. We did confirmation together in 2009.

When we left the school, we saw each other less, each one of us are in a different university and today it is more difficult to meet, but  we call or we send message on the phone every time

Camila, today has a child, Cristobal, he is 2 years old. I look after Cristobal many times when Camila goes to the university. After we go to the park and play football, or the “pinta”. In the night since Cristobal is asleep,  Camila and me drink beer and smoke.

I have lived my best and worst moments of my life with Camila. We fight some times, but after a good conversation we get to be friends again.

I have had a difficult moment in my life, when  my grandfather died or when  I had depression, in those moment she  was at my side all the time.

She is like a sister to me. I love her!

Post 6: How Green are you?

Hello, today I’m going to talk about environment al the ecological practices.

Actuality the ecology is a topic very important, because the environment is changing. 

The childrens would learn about the environment and the ecological practices in the school, the teacher would tech look after the environment. I learned about environmentally friendly practices in the school and I practiced with my family.

In my home recycling anything, the tetra pack, the piece of glasses bottle, the polymer bag, the polymer bottle, etcetera. and before we take out the special garbage. 

In general I prefer walk to the different places, because I don't have a car, and walk is most cheap.

I don't joined or supported any Eco-organization, because is don't interest my. I think that exist other forms from look after the environment for example recycle.

For to reduce the carbon footprint, I recycle different materials, I don’t lit a fire in the fireplace, in my house take up paraffin hater; I don’t take out the garbage in the ground. I off the light when I leave the room and off the water when I brush me teed.

I think that missing in my society is learning the people how look after the environment, and that the people take conscience of this.

Post 5: My Future Job

Hello, today I going to right about my future job. 

I would like work whit the different persons, specially whit a ethnic cultures. I like know different realities, different cultures, different bilifes, etc.

I wouldn't like work in an office or behind the computer, I think that in very boring and I can't know the reality. The reality is known in the streets, in land, talking whit the personas, looking the thinks, looking the different relations between persons.

I would like live whit a community, and there make a investigation about your culture, your traditions, your way from looking the life. I would like work in some country from Africa, although isn't a sociological investigation, I would can teach of reed, or writhe of childrens poor.

I think the job would be something that cause happiness, that you feeling good with your work.

In the future I would like follow studying, for specialize and can help in a better way for the persons. Also I would like follow studying for understand in a better way the different societies and cultures. 

This is that I would like can, but the future is uncertain, for that I would work in that I find according to my knowledge. 

Post 4: Election Day

Hello, today I'm going to talk about the importance of the vote. Voting in the opportunity to say your opinion about the politic system. I going to vote in the next presidential election, because the vote allow for show your approbation or  disapprobation with the different candidates. The democracy support in the voting, the people choose to one persons for represent. 

The electoral campaigns I don't like, them are very ugly and dirtying the city. I think that the electoral campaigns have to show the difference between the candidates, make a debate, forum, etcetera and don't wallpaper the city. 

The person with is candidate are not any person, They are a serious person, close with the people, listening the people, have the courage for confront with the other people and defend the country. They are a just person and defend to the poor.

Today, in Chile, the people don't trust the politician and the politic system. The politician lie, mislead, search for your own profit. They don't interest the people, only interest the power and the money. The people don't interest voting, because the politician only discuss with the opposition. 

The vote to lost the importance.

Post 3: A day to remember

When I was 17 years old, I danced "pascuense" in a dance academy. In December  2008 my dance group performed in the Providencia municipality. That day was a very specially day, because I showed what I liked to do.

In that year, we practiced 3 times a week, I was the youngest member of the group. My classmates looked after me and they loved me. We were 30 persons in the group.

That day I got up very early, It was a beautiful day, with a lot of sun. I was very very nervous, I  waited for that day very much, I practiced every time. I felt tickling in my stomach.

At to 2:00 pm I went to the Providencia municipality, I got my garment, made up my eyes and my mouth. At 4:00 pm we started the show. My dad, mam and my brother went to see me.

While I danced, I felt very well, I felt happy and free. In that moment I didn't matter I was fat, in that moment it didn't matter  anything, only dance.

That day were perfect.

Post 2: The Best Concert I've ever seen

I don't like very much go to the Concert, but I went to the "Cumbre del Rock Chileno" Concert, in January 2009 . It was held at Club Hípico from Santiago.
In that Concert presentation 45 chilean bands, for example Los Bunkers, Joe Vasconcellos, Jorge González, Los Tres, Los Jaivas, Franciasca Valenzuela, etcetera. It is a big meething of Chilean groups in a one place. Lasted every day, we arrived in the morning and we went around the 1:00 am.
I enjoyment very much this Concert because I love the Chilean music, I like Los Jaivas, Quilapallun, Joe Vasconcelos, etcetera. In that opportunity I can saw my favorites bands in a one day.
I went whit my school friends, 10 friends. We singing and dancing every day, we finished hoarse and very exhausted.
Today when I listen the Chilean music I remember when we went to the concert, I remember my crazy moment when I shouted the different song and dancing since crazy. When I met whit my friends, we remember that day and singing and dancing the favorites song.
That day was a excellent day.

Post 1: A country I would like to visit

 

I love India, I would like to visit this country, because I think this country has a very beautiful and exotic place. The Buddhism and its religions practices are very interesting. In this place I would like to go the Taj Mahal, the Loto temple, fair, exhibition and I would like to know its culture and custom. I like the architecture of the temple. I would like to work there, specifically with the different persons to learn your way to see the life.

The Indian culture is completely different from occidental culture, these characteristics cause its principal touristic attraction. 

The Indian people are very poor, so this country has a big contradiction, it is a very popular touristic place, but its people don't reflect this. The children die of starvation. 

This place is perfect to study or work in the social work, implement public politics or social policies.

This country is very very interesting, with its beauty and its problems.

Eric Hobsbawm is a British Marxist historian and relevant author. He was born in Alejandria on June 9^th, 1917. He lived in Viena and Berlin. His parents were Leopold Percy Hobsbawm y Nelly Grün. They early died, for this reason, Hobsbawn and his sister were adopted for his maternal aunt and for his paternal uncle, and they move to England.

He studied in Prinz- Heinrich-Gymnasium, in the St Marylebone Grammar School, and finally, in the King’s College, Cambridge. Then he was teacher of history at the University of London, and in his later years he was teacher and integrant of the department of politic sciences of The New School for Social Research’s.

Hobsbawm is considered as the most influence historian at present. The Hobsbawm’s principal books are The Age or Revolution: Europe 1789-1848, The Age of Capital, 1848-1875, the Age of Empire, Nations and Nationalism, On the Edge of the New Century (2000), How to Change the World: Tales of Marx and Marxism 1840-2011. In these books, he shows his interested about the development of traditions as inventions of national elites to justify their existence and his analyze of de “dual revolution”

I like very much this historian because he shows a great interpretation about history. He include in his study cultural, economic and political elements, that make his study a grate work.
