Last blog entry - Blog Post number 10

                               

                                               To introduce this topic about a reflective blog about my previous blog, I would like to say that was fun to make these blogs after all, those blogs really helped me to write better. My best piece of doing a blog was about nuclear weapons, firstly, because it was really interesting to search for information about it, secondly, I was so motivated to search for it before the homework itself, finally, that topic in general is also one of my biggest fears in the world apart from the spiders. I know that doing blogs as much homework was very tedious sometimes, but I found a lot of new conjunctions to use between sentences and I understood the fact of doing a good blog, this will be useful for any kind of project I could do in the future. In addition I would like to write about my writing classes, it was totally entertainment. I don’t know why, but in those classes I had more chances to practice my speech in a normal situation than the other classes, anyway, I like didactic classes, I learn a lot by that and I thing that writing classes was very relaxing to do tasks. I liked that moment when we discovered that internet program called lyrics training (I really don’t know how is the name of that site), I enjoyed a lot. Also I would like to introduce another kind of writing tasks like write certain kinds of histories like horror, drama, romance, etc. To complete, I would like to do a blog about our hobbies,  I really need to know about my classmates, I feel like I don’t know them to well. This semester in writing was really entertaining and those blogs helped me a lot about writing paragraphs and I’m waiting to see more teachings next semester.

Blog No 9 - All the important skills of a good teacher

                        Can anyone be an english teacher? NO, because to be a good english teacher you have to dominate your emotions and acts in different manners, so you have to study and recognize every question that the student could ask to you. Anyway, to be a good teacher you have to learn a lot of skills that you will need in the future.

                         Firstly, a good teacher needs to be energic in front of the class. This will be important when the students were tired, so you should influence them with a little dosis of energy. Also this skill should motivate the students to work with your class with an efficient optimist. For example: you can do a funny activity to make your students learn. Consequently if you manage your energy and make the students participate a lot, they are gonna be able to learn easily.

                        Secondly. if you want to be a teacher, being funny is the most important skill you will learn. Being a professional is not only to be serious in your job, you have to entertain your students at the same time you teach them. In addition, jokes makes students more confident to answer and participate, they feel identified by the class. Being funny with students permit the class have a good learning enviroment and students will ask you things without feeling nervous. After all, people reacts to friendly answers, so to keep the attention, you need to be amusing.

                       At last, a teacher needs to have a big domain about life experiences, remember that teachers teach to young people, so recommendations of life will be useful to someone will need it. First of all, you can use life experiences to explain a fact or an exercise. As well as the previous one, help students to solve their problems is beneficial to them and to YOU, because maybe one of their problems will affect your class. In the same way, students will develop critical thinking about life. In fact, the subject materia it`s important but to be a great teacher you will need to be very wise to solve some difficulties in your classroom.

                       As we seen, these skills are the most important because they need all your focus apart from the content materia, your feelings are all involved on this. Try to get fun teaching.

                     

Blog No 7/8 - School v/s University life

                               
                               My first year in high school was totally simple compared to the first year of university. University is harder than high school.

                               The learning enviroment of a university changed with many things in comparison with highschool. Firstly, the quantity of learning you have to receive its extremely more than high school. Secondly, the books turns very difficult to understand. Thirdly, you use every moment in the day to study, so you need to have time to study. Also, the distance between your house and the university, commonly you have to travel a lot. And finally, the influence of study you receive in the university is always great. So the way you learn in the university is much better and different from high school and that makes it harder.

                               I also had different social enviroments which contrast a lot between university and high school, university have a lot of energy in it enviroment. Parties increase a lot when you are on a university, people will invite you to hang out everyday. Furthermore, there is a lot of places to study inside of the university, so your studies are not lonely, you can ask your callsmates to study with you. Equally important, teachers and students almost always have a good relationship, so you will learn a lot from them. Besides, people of others  colleges can help you with your homeworks. So, university is much more active than high school.

                              The structure of the building in the university it`s better done than highschool. Including the main difference between bathrooms, there is a big difference between university and highschool, in university you have all you will need in the bathroom, including soap. In addition, sports fields are bigger and much more expensive than high school sports fields. Also libraries have a lot of books in the university, you cant find most of the important books  in a university library. Also medical equipment is well prepared, if you have a health problem, meybe you should be treated by a medic or nurse. And finally, the architecture of the buildings are much more advanced and have the a well structured yard apart from the main buildings, in consequence, to study in a university building makes the study easiest than high school.

                                   So because of all of that my first year in university was harder for me, you learn that in the university you have to study a lot to pass. Moreover, university makes study less difficult in its enviroment.



                           

Blog Post No. 6 Global environmental issues, Nuclear weapons

                        Nuclear weapons are the most dangerous menace on the earth. We have to get consciousness about this plot and try to do something against this.

                      We have already watched two nuclear bombs in Japan in a less scale than now, to know more about the causes and effects of this we have to know about the previous ones ocurred in Japan. When a nuclear explodes, people disappear due the tramendous heat of the explosion converted in rocks, for every explosion the ozone gets unable to produce a good climate and the plants stop growing, also affect nearby places with a nuclear smoke which produces acid rains, and finally a nuclear war can davastate human life due gigantic problems in health, all of this happened in Japan and we hope this will be worse.

                       
                           To solve this menace we must change our knowledge and teach some peace ideals to the people, first of all, we dont have the power to stop the war because of the government`s authority, secondly, the next generations of people could do more advancement through the years, scientist must find new ways of resources to stop war reasons, also make consciousness about dont enter to any army, so the implementation of this ideas will make a change to the world progress.

                           This topic is very crude and scary at the same time, but is real, this will happen in the future if we dont stop it, we have to make an effort and teaching the importance of the earth to the people and make a big certain idea on how to make a stop of this.

Blog Post 4, Health in Chile

                       

  Im agree with the idea of Chile having a good structure in medicine, it's the 23rd healthiest countries in the world, but im afraid that pleasure is not for everybody, and it's a problem which we have to solve fast.
                       
                   One of the reasons why Chile has a good reputation on this it`s because there are a lot of clinics and hospitals located around all the main cities which permit the ambulances do travels really fast. The use of good medicaments and technology is also considered due the great advancement in our hospitals. Also, the government will give you a copayment if you dont have enough money and also receive treatment if you are in Fonasa. If you dont like the regular service you can pay for a private clinic or an Isapre. Freelancers should pay a little for an AFP and then they could pay it online.
                    The problems of this health system is the centralization, people who live far away from big cities have a lot of troubles trying to get good attention, they have to wait a long time to get these treatments. Also if you don't have enough money to pay a good healthcare, the attention will be disastrous and the only thing they gave you to get better it`s an Ibuprofen. To get a surgery, it will take a long time if you depend on Fonasa and you're not going to be able getting an specialist, only a doctor, so if you have an eye damaged, probably you aren`t going to be able to get an eye surgeon. Those people which have Fonasa A don`t pay anything to get healthcare, but they're obligated to use public hospitals. The goverment doesnt try to improve our medical problems and leave the people trying to solve their own health problems with public hospitals in bankrupt.

Chile has an acceptable medical health, but we need to deal with this inequality and make sure that every chilean should have a great medical service.

Blog Post N.3: Different ways to enjoy music for me.

      Listen to music carefully is the best way to get relaxed, like in a peaceful place and enviroment like in a park or wherever there are grass on it makes you interpret the music in a better way, try to listen to the album "Darkside of the moon" by Pink Floyd, or maybe in your sofa you can get more relaxed than in a park, also watching a live concerts is a good way to listen music carefully, finally, listen to reggae music when you are trying to sleep is a good idea to get relaxed in your bed, so listen to music carefully makes you get a condition of relax better than others.
      
Listen to music in a party or in a barbecue is also good for sociability, for example: when you are in a party and everyone knows the song, all the people start to sing the chorus, listen to music in a barbecue in a good enviroment with a cold beer in your hands with friends is also one of the most satisfactory things you could do it in a weekend, going to a live concert makes you know friends inside, finally, having a music style that represent you makes you have friends with almost the same musical preferences, so if you want to give a step and socialize, start to listen music and share with people outside, maybe in a party, or in a barbecue, etc.

         

Blog spot No 2: Free Theme

In my previous blog I wrote about how many important is the music in my life, today im going to write about my differents tendencies of music through my life since I was a child.
I wrote about my first original Queen's greatest hits CD, so I have been influenced by rock and classical music since I was 8 years old, then I started to listen the 90's alternative rock when I was 12 years old, I was listening to The Strokes, Foo Fighters, Green day, etc.
After that I started to becoming a punk rocker when I was 16 listening to Sex Pistols, Dead Kennedys, my personality changed a lot through the years, I know, I been asking  myself what is my personality since I was young, I still cannot find it.

My punk rocker era was only for 1 year, at the age of 17, I become a headbanger when I had a band for one year, I left the band becouse my partners were very enclosed in their headbanger world, I would very like to do other kinds of music in these times.
When I become an adult of 18 years old I started to listen differents kinds of music by learning of people I met, they told me about Jazz, Blues, Funk, etc.
In conclusion. Now in these days I have a tremendous collection of music in my computer, and listen to different bands makes me remember all my life, "im a musicologist", its my number one hobby and im very proud of all my music library

Blog Post No1 Autobiography

Hi guys, im Fares from section 201 in english pedagogy. im from Chile, specifically in a rural town named Colina, but, I want to make this more specifically, I live in a long street inside of Colina named Esmeralda, such a beautiful place to be, I love those people, they're humble people which watched me grow to what I am now.
I had a life of work since I was born, I grew up thinking about "doing differents things in your life" so my parents started to teaching me things about life since i was a child, like travel to the south only with our backpacks in a very early age, now I remember all those teachings they gave me, and im proud of it.

Its very difficult to study in a good school in the middle of a little town forgotten or hidding away from Santiago, so I had to study things which my school never teached me before to enter to the only good school near of my house.
I was on 1st Grade in highschool when I decided to learn english intensively, because I was working in a job with my dad, my dad is an artist so i was obliged to learn english to traduce the foreigners and sell some paintings.
Since I was a child I was very interested in music, im interested to know about different kinds of music like a "musicologist", im still having a Queen's original Cd in my room since I was 8 years old. My little brother is following my steps alone so i feel very proud of him, he remember me when i was a child, im already teaching english to him, so he is constantly asking me things about english.

My highschool was great, I met a lot of friends which makes my days very affable, im always go to hang out with my friends when i have time to do it.
I believe I had the worst english education in in my highschool, all my teachers through the years were really awful, becouse the director of my school thought english doesn't care at all in our future, the only things we needed was the PSU´s subject, religion was more important than english in the director's mind, so with classmates and partners of other classrooms we decided to ocupy the entire school demanding changes in the system of the school, we knew that's gonna be useless for us, but it's going to be usefull for next generations of students.

Now in these days im studying english pedagogy in UNAB, and im working a lot to get good results on it
