Language English and my English class 11

Hello bloggers! Today I am going to talk about the English language and my English class. The English language always has been very difficult for me. I think that the cause of this was that during my basic education my teachers of English were very irregulars. Also, I never have been very interested in this language. I would like to learn other languages, for example, the French, Italian or Portuguese. Moreover, I rarely see films in English and I have heard that this help to pronunciation. During the university I have battled with the English, even I failed a level. I have done the four levels of English and my experience of learning has depended of teacher. I think that have learn more during the three and four level because the use of blog has been very good for me. In the Blog I have learn to express my ideas and have known typical expressions of this language. In addition, owing to the work in the blog is individual is more easy try to learn because I don’t feel embarrassment when I commit an error. On the other hand, I consider that my classmates have been a great help. In this class I found classmates with difficulties similar to the ones I have. When we are in class try to do the activities although many times this are very difficult for we. My area more weak is the listening. My results in this kind of evaluation are very under. Also, when I try to speak in English this is not difficult for me but my vocabulary is very limited, however in my opinion is possible progress in this aspect.   
Outside the English class I don´t use the language :(

How has been my year 10

Hello classmates! Today I am going to talk about how has been this year. I think that if I do an evaluation about this year, my answer will be positive because of different reasons. First, this year has been a good year because my family and I have not confronted important problems of health, even this year my family began to eat food more healthy. Second, this year I began to live with my boyfriend in my house and this experience has been very good. We have learned to be more partner and empathetic. Also, we consider that if ours living together continue being positive, we will be able to move to live alone. Moreover, this year has been a good year because my mother was promoted in her work. When my mom said me this notice I was very happy because my mother is a woman hard working. About my university, this year is one of my last years of my career. This is very good for me because I want to work in my discipline and see how is my job market. Although I am a few nervous too because I feel that I don’t remember all the topics that I have studied in the university. In addition, I think that this year is positive because in comparison with the last year that was very negative. Last year died important persons, my boyfriend failed his entire subject in the university and I argue so much with my parents. In summary, this year has been positive. However this year has not finished and in my opinion there are many moments to live

Free Post 9

Hello classmates! This day I am going to talk about my birthday. I chose this topic because I will be my birthday tomorrow. When I was a little girl I waited very anxious the day of my birthday, even I remember that I marked the days of the calendar. I felt that the year happen very slow. But after that I become eighteen years I feel that the time flies. Although I have not problems with the idea of grow older, is difficult for me think that I am 22 years!  When I was a Child I thought that the people to 22 years were almost old man, but the things changes. Also, when I was a child I liked to receive many gift, I waited specific gifts. This situation has changed. Now I do not wait to receive nothing in particular, I only wait can share with my parent, friends and boyfriend. About this birthday, my boyfriend and my best friend organized a barbecue with my friends and my parents. Organize a birthday is very stressful therefore I was very happy when they decided assume this responsibility. My expectation to tomorrow be can enjoy a good moment with my loved ones, drink many drinks  and eat a delicious food especially my favorite meat named “entraña”. Have you eaten this meat? If you have not eaten this meat, you do not know the paradise. I hope to live a great day :)

Entraña ñami ñami !

How green I am 8

Hello classmates! This Friday I am going to talk about how Green I am. Although I am a person very conscious about the environmental damage that we have caused as society, I do not do big actions to revert this situation. However I am trying to use more the bicycle, for example, to visit my friends, and go to the supermarket and other situations. I would like to go the university in this medium of transport but this place is very distant of my house. Also, I try to care the water. Before, I watered my plants every day but today I do it only three times a week.  Moreover, I turn off the faucet of water when I wash my tooth. I know that these actions are not a big contribution but are my point of departure.
I consider that today is very easy to find different site in Internet where teach about how can reduce our impact in the nature, even there are site where we can to calculate our carbon footprint. I would like to learn to recycle the wastes produce by I and my family. Since time ago, I discover that my municipality has a plan about recycle although I do not know what days of the week work this institution. 

Last week I visited the metropolitan zoo and when I was in the hill I saw the city. The sky was really horrible, the pollution is too. We should do something about this situation. Because of here share some sites about this topic:

Free Topic 7

Hello classmates! This Friday I am going to talk about a thing that I hate, the political publicity. Today the legal period begins where the different candidates to the presidency and the congress can publicize their ideas in public spaces. But the streets are filled with political posters since some days ago, even months ago.  I support the idea that people should vote very informed about the designs of the different candidates. But I hate that the politicians do not respect the constitution to get more votes. They should give the example to population. Also, this impertinence is transverse to all political parties, even independent ones. In addition, the media takes part in this problem too. I have listened on the radio different political material. Moreover, I consider that is too much the number of material used in this propaganda, propaganda that is not recycled. Furthermore, when the election finishes, no one takes away this political material. This is really a horrible situation!  Because in my opinion, we as citizen have the duty to report these incidents and do not vote for candidates that incur in these practices, because in this way we will be part of a process of civic education that is basic in the society. Also, we should educate future generations in this important topics.

Summary 6

Hello classmates! Today I am going to talk about an article very important to Psychology and especially to Juridical Psychology. This information was published by the site www.theguardian.com and this is the link http://www.theguardian.com/society/2013/oct/10/prison-education-standards-ofsted

This article addresses about the inefficiency of the educational programs of the prisons in England and the criticizes that this situation have caused.  The article shows the opinion of Mateo Coffey, national director of further education and skills at the education watchdog (Ofsted). He says that exist a great number of prisoners that no have employability skills, meaning they are less likely to find a job. This situation is very alarming because the researches show that the work is one of factors more important to reduce the relapse, approximately 30% and 50%. In addition, Coffey says that is very expensive to the Estate the maintenance of the prisoners.

Moreover, recent research shows that a great number of men and woman in prisons in England and Wales lack of qualifications and insufficient of literacy skills.
Also, Mateo Coffey says that the prisons that work with institution that help develop vocational abilities are rare cases.


Finally, the article shows the vision of Jeremy Wright, who is the prisons minister. He says that the relapse is too high but that they are working with different institutions to resolve this problem.

Free topic 4

Hello classmates! This Friday I am going to talk about one of my favorite object of study, the prison. I consider that the study of this social institution is very important in our society because one big part of the Chilean and world population live in this place. The prison is an institution interesting for me because is a space that represents the worse face of the capitalist society. In prison the Human Rights  not exist and the violation of basic rights are a thing common. During the last year, I could visit the female prison of Santiago (CPF San Joaquin) and the life conditions were really horrible; overcrowding, absence of hygiene, abusive works, among others. This experience was very important because now I know the problems from the reality and not only literature. I decided to write about this topic in this post because the presidential election is very near and is important investigate about the political project in this topic  of the different candidates, because is very different think that the prison is the solution to delinquency that the poverty is the cause of delinquency.

A country that I'd like to visit 3

Dear all! In this day I am going to talk about a country that I would like to visit. It is very difficult because there are many countries with interesting cultures, but in this post I will speak about Greece. I chose this country because I like so much the History, especially the Old History and Greece was a place very important in the antiquity. About this place, the most interesting for me is the mythology. When I was in the school I liked to lead and know about this topic. The books about this topic are really fantastic because they show how people explained the origin of the things in a very different way from us. Also, Greece is the cradle of the democracy and the politic in general because of is very important know about this culture. Moreover, Greece has old and beautiful buildings that are historic monuments.  In addition, Greece has spectacular beaches and islands as Mykonos. Do they know this place? Is a wonder! Even one of my dreams is visit this place.

My ideal job 2

Hello classmates! Today I am going to talk about my “ideal job”.  I have different ideals jobs, because I have more than one interest. For example, in my free time I practice Zumba that is a kind of urban dance. I love to play this sport, because I would like to become a teacher of Zumba and work in gyms or others places and get money by dance. Also, I am student of Psychology and is very important for me the social work. During my career, I discovered the Judicial Psychology that is an area of Psychology that helps to administration of justice. In this area I would like to work in the prison because I consider that the prison is a place forgotten by the society and I think that is a good place to fight the social inequality and poverty.  In my opinion the mains skills to do this job are believe in the change of the persons and eliminate the prejudices about the delinquency. About the difficulties in this job, I consider that the main problem is the lack of economics resources destined to this institution.


More Education, less prisons!

Last Semester! 1

Dear all! Today I’m going to talk about my last semester. Last semester I had five very interesting subjects. These subjects were about different social problems, for example, the youthful delinquency, threatening rights, among others. But, because of the strike I could not learn as much as I expected. About my free time, last semester I continued playing sports, specifically Zumba that is a kind the urban dance, which is very entertaining and energetic. Also, I began to practice spinning, that is a very hard activity  but very good to eliminate the stress. During the last semester, one of my personal challenges was to chose the topic of my future memory because I have few time to begin to do this work. However, I could not choose my favorite topic. In summary, my search has not finished. About my friends, last semester I could know many interesting and kind people  in the university.
