My blogging experience

In this first part of the year in the English class we were working in a Blogspot, all the Tuesday we write about a topic that was proposed by the teacher, but the sense of the topic was free.

Once know the principals lines of this activity i will write about my experience how student of this class.

First: I liked so much the activity, i think that all the curses copy this idea we can generate good discussions about different things. I liked because is form very funny and effective for learn English; i liked so much the free of the experience. Finally i have a auto critic, because i didn't useful the great of the experience.

Second: I haven't a disliked with the experience, but i had liked integrate more a discussions about a post in a blog of my classmates, just how finally objective to integrate more variables for our learning.

Third: In my school i was taught English but i never learnt, because i never found a real utility. Here, in the English class of the university, i found an aplication and i started to want to learn English (maybe other factors influenced this change but i'm sure that this is one of the principal ones). Finally i think that the blog is a very good experience to find a aplication because is a tool to communicate with.

Fourth: My favourite post was when i wrote about a meeting with a historical person, and i choose to Salvador Allende. I think that this post was very interesting because i can to fly in my imagination.

Fifth: I haven´t a least favourite post, this because i didn´t how two post, that posts was the most boring, but i didn´t do this because it was boring i did it because i don´t rembered that posts.

Finally i want to choose the better blog (them of the my jeje)....is the Frodo blog. Because he choose a good colours, he has a good englis (i can understand his post) and he put a very funny photography of he (how the principal photo). But i think that the Maira's blog is a good blog too, she has a good englis and good colours, but her photos was very "poke" (jejeje).


And this is the end...
Bye friends i see you in another moment....

BYE!

I and the GeoGraphy


When i was in the school, i was decided to study something in relation with the social area, i wanted to study history or sociology. When i did the PSU, four years ago, my grade was good but i couldn't enter to history (my final selection), so i was decided to study in a privated university. Three days after to know my grade i get one´s mail with the information that i was in the University of Chile. In short when i postuled to the carrer i was wrong, i don´t put History i put Geography. Finally i decided to enter to Geography, because i think in changed for incide to the another carrer, but it wasn´t there, i liked many much the carrer.

In this moment i study Geography because i start to know many tools that can to use in diferents things that i like, for example in the social area i can to work with a population that hasn´t his own house. Another thing that i liked is the differents variables that used for some analysis, and that is very important because with a good participation of the people and good tecnicals tools we (geographers) give a better solution for the citizens.


After of give you a little explanation of my relation with the geogrphy and "why" i enter to this carrer, i want to tell you about the role of the geographer in the planet.



In this moment we (geographers) are only a tool for the world community, we haven´t the solutions because we don´t live the problems; but in the enviromments problems (that all the people suffers) we are another actor of proffesionals that can help to make a better world. For this the geographer need to work with anothers proffesionals, and that we can to construct only related with anothers carrers since first year.


My fovourite subject in the discipline is the Social Geography and related with that is the Critical Geography, this we can to apply how a perspective in the studies and in the differents projects that we can to take part. Related with this i see my future working for a community and not for a my good economic. In 10 years maybe (i want) i will be working in a municipality in the south or working in the academy (university) for the next generations.



This is all Friends!!!

See you!!

One on ONE with Salvador Allende


I guess that the president of Chile in the years 1970 to 1973 is a very interesting person for talk about his life or political things. In the history of Chile this a president very important, because he was a socialist that won the election in democracy. He tried to make various changes, but a part of the poppulation don't want this changes and they support a sabotage of government; in September 11 th of 1973 the militaries take the power (with support of the people with more money in this country) and kill to Salvador Allende.

My connection with Allende is for my family, they work in his government and they dreamed with a better society, more equality and a country that hased a relation of peace with another’s countries.

If he was alive i ask him "What happened? Why all was destroyed?", and show him how is the country how the militaries imposed the capitalism system, how the society is more individualist and how today isn’t a big movement of political organizations. Finally i ask for he that teachme all that he know about of political participative, and that he will go with me to watch a soccer match of Colo -Colo (of course).

Ok this all friends.

Bye.

My fovourite Song


When i read the instructions of this entrance i say "well in this moment i haven´t a song many favurite", but then thing and say "but in my personals tastes always are a song that i like", this song always is the first.

The first time that i listen the song i was 16 years old, in that time i don't understand what want to say the song but i only liked it because the rythm is very different to another songs of that kind of music. Two or three years after i watch a video of the group and the song was traduced to the spanish, in that moment i liked the song many more because the rythm was good and the lyric was good too.

In this moment you can ask me ..."and What is the song? or What is the group (band)?", well the answer is....before of this i can say that when i listen the group for first time i was very fan of "Los Prisioneros" they was a very important band of rock/punk/political of Chile, and they bassed their songs in a england band....The Clash.

My favourite song is the first (and the single) of the disc "London Calling", and it has the same name of the disc...London Calling. The band was very important, not just for the rock or the punk, because this band integrated many kinds of musics, they formed in 1976 and disbanded in 1986.

Ok and this is the song:


London Calling

(Strummer/Jones)

London calling to the faraway towns
Now that war is declared-and battle come down
London calling to the underworld
Come out of the cupboard, all you boys and girls
London calling, now don't look at us
All that phoney Beatlemania has bitten the dust
London calling, see we ain't got no swing
'Cept for the ring of that truncheon thing

CHORUS

The ice age is coming, the sun is zooming in
Engines stop running and the wheat is growing thin
A nuclear error, but I have no fear
London is drowning-and I live by the river
London calling to the imitation zone
Forget it, brother, an' go it alone
London calling upon the zombies of death
Quit holding out-and draw another breath
London calling-and I don't wanna shout
But when we were talking-I saw you nodding out
London calling, see we ain't got no highs
Except for that one with the yellowy eyes

CHORUS

Now get this
London calling, yeah, I was there, too
An' you know what they said? Well, some of it was true!
London calling at the top of the dial
After all this, won't you give me a smile?
I never felt so much a' like

My first time in Monumental stadium



When i was litle boy my father say me "you are of the best team of Chile", i ask him "and what is that team?"..."Colo-Colo" say he. With this story i start my description of the place that i liked.




In a match of Colo-Colo versus "universidad de Chile" he invited to me and my brother for watch the match in the stadium, this stadium was the "Monumental David Arellano".




I don't remember how many years i was, but if someone know the score of this classic matches in the years 1993 and 1994 is the only that finish in "0" in this stadium.




Finally, i can say that the most impressive thing of that match is the fans of Colo-Colo was three or four times more that the others fans. That was one of many others reason because i am of Colo-Colo because is the best team (more champion wons), is the mos populated (3 of 5 chileans is "colocolino") and always give happynes to his fans.




Actually i go to the stadium always that i can (when i don´t work), and i have many friends that i meet in this place, because in the fields of this stadium many things and many feelings are captured in my memory.

Ok.

This is all.

Bye and "ChAlBo".
