The bad look into English

There is a negative feeling into the English in this faculty. It is usually the students dislike this class and put back it. The reason of this situation and the importance of learn English that many of them don’t see will be some arguments. Also My personal opinion and how I felt the experience since the first level until the level four.
The bad look into English is the name of the essay, a name that I want change in the progress of this text.
All this I try to explain in my essay.

I feel and believe in this lack of interest or bad look into the English class. The first reason that I find is that the students think in English class as a loss of time. The students prefer take exclusive class about the career, delaying the English class. I think that this situation is worse because in the last of the career take English convert in some bored and tiring.
Also, this people don’t see the real importance to learn English.
Today the English is an universal language and is a condition if we want leave our country for a postgraduate in the foreign. That is the reason for to learn English; today we know that the English open opportunities help us for make contacts with other people.

Mi opinion about the English class is positive. I start in the first level and I can say that the learning go in progress. In my case, the first level was easy but in the second, third and last level there is a big difference. The last levels are more difficult and that I depressed a bit because I feel that I don’t progress more. Maybe lack me a bigger effort.
Nevertheless I feel I can speak English better, much better than the fist level. That is the learning that I redeem more. Besides the enthusiasm’s teacher is very important for that we follow studying.
The bad look into English class for me isn’t exist. We should understand that also is a fundamental course.


Maybe many things about the English class in the university and the faculties can be better but is some economic, but more a problem about teacher and students. The interest of both is essential and the time dedicated too.
My experience was good. Now lack the last test I hope as all my classmates get a good mark. I hope also that the bad look transform in a take of conscience. A form of to see the English class like some positive.

Vivi`s Blog

The vivi`s blog
I always let a post in her blog. Maybe, almost obviously, because is my friend, but also because is funny and interesting read what and how Vivi writes.
She keeps and order in her post. She is more organized in that sense, as opposed I just write.
The presentation of the blog is very chic, the colors are good. All the post to the time and She usually put an image.
Write in a blog involve something personal and that we can learn about the person writing in the blog. Through the blog and depend of the topics for write we knows how is the person. The kind of music they like, the aspirations and the opinions that we have about some news or politics events.
In the vivi’s blog there are Victor Jara, many Violeta Parra, The Beatles obviously and that feeling by "the own".
A post that I really like was about the favourite song. She chooses “a day in the life” of The Beatles. She tells why she likes this song. The harmony can be a reason, a harmony that the songs of the Beatles know to show. Besides she tells about the origin of the song. We can`t wait less of vivi, the side educated always.
Also there is an image that vivi out in one of the post. An image of Piñera where he is holding a head of pig. The image corresponds to a post called “Tsunami marepoto”. The sense ironic and the displeasure that she feels by Piñera I know. Maybe all we feel the same by this sr.

WOMEN

I going to speak about a woman called Elena Caffarena.
Today I don`t remember much about her but when I was in the College, in sixth o seventh grade I did many expositions about the woman, the feminist, the rights, the inequality between in men and women. I was obsessed speaking of this woman.
She was a great fighter by the rights of the woman. As lawyer she dedicated her life by the right to vote of the woman. In that time just the men can to vote for the politics post.
In the years of university student she participated in the FECH. Years later, she founded the Movement of emancipation of women of Chile (MECH). MECH was a feminist group that started the protest in the street. All the worker women and mothers followed to Elena Caffarena.
I think that this woman is a great figure for the country in special for us the women because if she doesn`t have started the protest the women`s vote today would not exist.
Thank for her fight and the fight the all the women in that moment, was possible the vote municipal and late, the universal vote in January 8th of 1949 in the government of Gabriel Gonzalez Videla. .
The sad was Elena Caffarena couldn`t to vote because the President forbade her by he considered he a communist. She never was a militant but she defended to women and the poor people. She finally can vote years later but it was really unfair that she happened her.
She died in 2003. So I don`t met with her but if would have a possibility I say her that I had liked follow her in that time. I had felt ‘bakan’.

CAREER

I ask me that if I had study other thing, but the things happen by something.
I was a good student, I always I got the same mark. The problem was the PSU, literally for me was a failure. This career always (Since the first year of lyceum) was in my mind, but also I thought in the Archeology. I actually imagined to get the score necessary but wasn`t that. Maybe too many expectation from the people. My classmates said me wait not Archeology, they didn`t believe in the career of Art History. Today, neither. BUT, here I am. This career always was my first option but just I felt bad by the results of the test.
I remember that my father said me: You choose the career because the name sounds beautiful. Against to the traditional of my father I study this. I think and is difficult imagine me studying other thing. I hate the mathematics but more the biology. So never I thought in careers connected with medicine or engineering, either in law, although one person had been the happiest man.
And the archeology was my games of child. Found the bone of chickens that I had buried was the better. Earth games, you know that.
I could wait one year but I didn`t want. Now I think is true the phrase I said in the start: The things happen by something. Now I have other objectives and I want realize other things. Just I hope carry out.
I believe a bit in the destiny and that the persons with we meet was because we should know.
Then, to think in other career is estrange, almost impossible. I choose the first option and I believe not have chosen badly.
I hope good thing of this, like all we.

JOB

I think the people sometimes is unhappy in your jobs because exploit them or the jobs are very mechanic. An example is the jobs of packer in the packing, work of fruits. I worked like packer and the working day is large, monotonous.. Thanks of god I work like packer only the summer but I think in the rest of people and they work all your life in the packing. The pay isn`t good and sometimes the hours are very exhausting.
If I could choose anything job, I would be a big sportswoman. It is simple I would win money, I enjoy it and I would travel around the world. But that is an idea very ideal. Or, and this is closer to my reality I would be a chef and simply I leave Chile and I would work in a cruise. This job I like, I really like to cook in special cakes or things like that. I don`t anyone with an experience like this. Maybe a cousin, who went to New Zealand and work and various restaurants, but not like chef but she knows a lot of people of different countries and culture.
Maybe the best work of the world will be travel free by the world. Just An angel should pay for me.
The reality is other and my objectives for mi life now are make a good thesis and an after to make a post grade in Restoration and Conservation. And Always I was connected to the practice work like the painting, so this work will be ideal. I hope to work in I want it and show them that “yes, I can”. I feel that is my greater dream or expectation.
Study for to work in that I chose. That should be the best satisfaction and become a great professional.

Dream, crazy and friendly

I would like to meet various persons as the Singer Chris Martin of group Coldplay, or the writer Jane Austen or a person as important as Nelson Mandela. If I had the opportunity to meet them couldn`t be more fantastic but like the life isn´t so wonderful maybe I meet just one. And then I chose Nelson Mandela. He is a great figure of the history. His name represents the struggle by the racial segregation, that known as The Apartheid. Mandela is a great men and he become the first black president of Sudafrica. He achieved independence.
He represents the hope of the African people. Mandela was in prison many years and that instance shows the perseverance.
Meet to Mandela wouldn`t be just interesting would be a dream.
Dream is good. So I would travel to Sudafrica for know him and there in his home we have a conversation. I would ask him how he feels now, today years after of his struggle, prison and his government. If he feels actually b that he got achievements.

In the news and report of Sudafrica with motive of de Word Cup the reality of sudafrican people to be naked. The difference or worse the separation between the black and with people still continues. The news shows the existence of the areas or complete cities for the white people. The same happened with the night places, there are pubs only for white people.
Today the “apartheid” exists yet but obviously some things have changing.
I don`t say good bye Mandela without an autograph and a hug.
Meet to Mandela would be magic, meet a Chris Martin would be a crazy and with Jane Austen we would be “amiguis”.

Perfect day

A perfect day for me (one of my options) will be a complete day travelling by the north of Chile. I will need 24 hours and more. Maybe I would travel alone or maybe not.

See the landscape and lost me in my thought. A perfect day will be a day dedicated to a spiritual life. One day in where I feel the sun and I admire the desert. I don`t know why but always I liked this type of landscape.

The trip will be in a bus, obviously, I like spend many hours travelling and that the bus stops sometimes. Listen to music or watch a movie, eat the food of the bus (I really like) or speak with someone new or easily sleep with the certainty of that I am doing a good trip and my destiny is uncertain because is the destiny.

Other option is in beautiful day with a great sun I would sink in the pasture and just smile. In this situation I would be in love, with love. I should be in a meadow so I would have travel to the south but will be most interesting wake in the pasture an ordinary day, some like “a tele transportation”, and spend the day join with him in a place like that.

If I think in a perfect day there are options come to my mind but the hard to Think in this is that a perfect day isn`t come or is difficult realize it. A perfect day is more a dream because the perfect things aren`t exit. Actually I don`t know if I would have a perfect day, the words sounds utopian but maybe that is the sense, the effort or the dream.

La yareta

A favorite song in this moment or my favorite song in all my life.. It is difficult think about that.. I like the music so much and I am listening all the time, in my mind, in my home in the radio (Play Fm) or my computer.

Today I want remember a special song called “La yareta” of Ximena Rodriguez and Cristian Diaz. It is special because when I was a child my father was in the living and put his cassette called “condores y alpacas” on the radio and always he asks me to dance him this song by $100. In that time $100 still was enough money for many candies (1/2 hours) or some sheet for to collect.

The song maybe isn´t my favorite but is one song that until today I listen because is a remember of my infancy and besides is folklore music, music of the north and is part of the culture aymara of Chile, Perú and Bolivia.

The lyric of the song tell a story of a man in love. Tell a courting. I like more the melody, the sounds of the instruments, the rhythm.

The singer comes to the Viña Festival in 1990. Is an information that I found in Youtube but I didn`t know it. In fact I recently discovered the singers, when was I child I just danced. The names of singer or of the singers or of the group I haven`t any idea. I thought to find all the songs of that cassette now lost.

In middle of Coldplay, the killers or some other band like that always I will have one of these songs of the “condores y alpacas” for to listen.

MAKTUB

Think in some country…Wow!! I will travel always … Europe, South America, Africa…
But if I should chose, I can chose a country of Europe where the art is in anyplace. It will be the logic to know France or Italy by my career but since my 14 years so so I have a kind of fantasy or dream with the religion musulmana. All it started when I watched the television serie called “EL CLON”, a super production of Brazil. It is funny tell them but I was Jade totally.
I feel an interest in the dances and clothes, I believe that are beautiful. I will know Fez and I will be in a climate hot and a landscape desert. I really like the desert.
This trip will be just by pleasure but obviously my knowledge will be more.
Marruecos is known by some ruins (ruins that I watched in EL CLON) and the market of Fez. I don`t know exactly where are or which are but there are some called Ruinas de Aït-ben-Hadou, big constructions of Arabian architecture.
Also is the market of Fez, a large trip by Medinas and the stands of cloth that they are infinite. I think I will spend all my money in that.
Maybe someday I do this trip, but now it is only the image of this fantasy. If this dream or not can be true will be some like the end of television serie, the word MAKTUB that means “It was wrote.” Is a nice word and means that I will hope or the events that will happen were for me. It is some of the destiny. The destiny is some so own of that culture and for me will be important live it.
Now, I should just wait. I hope the wait isn`t a long wait.

CONFLICT

Today, later of two weeks of vacation, we found us with the Mapuches’s conflict. But this problem it is not a problem of now. It’s not. While all the country cried by the miners, me too, we forgot the 32 mapuches in hunger strike. They take more than two months in that condition.
I especially I don`t know much about the case. I think the Chilean people don`t feel interest about the problem because is a problem, a big problem. Neither the news gives importance or much importance to the theme. TVN still is miners.
Besides, I think that the mapuches or the native people don`t feel part of the country. Paradoxically in our country the native people are in the extremes of the territory and they are isolated.
In other aspect, it is a surprise to me to know that the anti terrorism law was applied by first time in the Government of the today old Aylwin. And if Piñera has done something or not, I think that no. He waits a moment critic for be a hero o something like that. With the theme of the miners all the people was grateful with Piñera and the percentage of approbation to the president increased in good numbers.
I don`t know how more the mapuches can endure the situation, only living of saline solution. I just hope that nobody died. Although maybe that is they want or are willing to do for pressure to the government.
They are the start of Chile; they were the first residents of the country. They are our history and our identity too. Where we come of? The answer is easy. They are our ancestors… although I have ancestors of the north.. aymaras also native people.

THE D DAY

In the last months in our country have happened a lot of important events. We can think in the earthquake, in the miners now or in the thermo electrical that also had importance in the news.
I think that the event of the year will be the earthquake. Since 1985 there wasn`t an earthquake. It was about time, but nobody thought that there would come a tsunami too. It was a true tragedy. Some people died, many people now don`t have home. The time pass, the immediate help arrived but now what?
In the last few days the news are concentrated in the miners, but not long ago I saw a strike of the people in the south. The people want solutions, the people have waited since February, the months pass and the people want a live again.
I remember that night was very chaotic. I think now and I imagine the people living the tsunami Wow! It was terrible. The earthquake was so long in time and space, almost the half of Chile.
February 27 will be “the D day” in our history and of course showed the swindle of some constructor companies. Just here in Santiago we can walk and we can see several building with problems, empty and some should be destroyed.
In these situations the action of the government is fundamental. The fiscal control should act. And it should act good and efficiently.
I will remember this date. It was my first earthquake and I don`t know if I can live one again jaj.. Wait 20 or 25 years and there we can see if the country has improved or not.

100 years, 1000 dreams

Hello!!
I remember a concert in 2008. It was an event very important because it was a commemoration of Salvador Allende. I ‘m not communist or something similar but i share your spirit of struggle and obviously I love the music, in special Intillimani. The event called “100 years, 1000 dreams” and was in November 7 in 2008 in the National Stadium. I went with Natalia and Gabriela and others friends. I bought a band for my head and already I was ready.
I sang how never and enjoyed a lot. The groups sang just two or three songs because there are many artists that should presented too. When appears Intillimani WOW..
My father says that I am communist because I like this type of music but he doesn`t remember that this music come of him, of his cassettes. My parents have a culture of Chilean music, the folklore and the andina music.
Also were Los jaivas and Illapu, this group to my friend Natalia like too much in special “vuelvo”. Also was a man of Brazil, I didn`t know him but Gabriela sang all his songs. I just enjoyed. It was my first concert, in my first year of university, in my first year far of home. Well, I don`t live very far, exactly in the sixth region, but my house now is Santiago.
The concert finished past two, in the night. My back suffered. Never had I thought that a concert was so exhausting, but yes, it was.
I returned to my flat so tired.. but It was great.

Animals Rights

Animal Rights
Now, we start the last level of English, the level IV.
So, here we go with the blog and my first post in the class.

I am going to speak about the Animal Rights in Chile. The topic is some very delicate, in special for the people that love the animals and defend the cause.
I remember a case that I saw in the news. A person launched their dog from a ninth flat. I don`t remember if the dog died or not, but is the most probable. This is a case in where we see the animal rights violated. The problem is that these rights are just in the mind of the people with heart and that fell a deep love by the animals. I think that the Chilean law haven`t consideration by the animals and preoccupation or many preoccupation with the matter. In the case I described, the person wasn`t punished. That is a serious mistake because that way the violence toward the animals continues. There isn`t only violence in domestic situations also violence with the contamination, for example the spillage of petroleum that affect directly to the fauna. Who repair that destruction? Is an irreversible situation, the animals die.

In our country there are organizations of help and protection of the animals, in special of the street dogs. Dogs that haven`t master and they just live in any place.

More conscience by the animals, just that the law will change and the animals could live better.

Bye :D
