Skills in my area of study...

Hi! Today I’m going to talk you about the main skills in my area of study. Firstly, like a future professional education I think that is very important for us be motivated and have real interest in this area. Also is very important develop different skills that let us have a good hold in our pedagogical practice. For example be patient, creative and enthusiastic to attract student’s attention and of this way improve the education, generating students whit wants to learn. This is very important because many times the fail school is connected with the methods of education developed by teachers and a good teacher must be able to recognize the principal problems of student when they are learning.
Other skills we must take into account that are to have always like objective to improve the quality of education being something really necessary today in the educational system and for stimulate the equal of opportunities especially in school that belong at the municipal system.
In my opinion the skills that are inborn by who choose work in this area are the enthusiastic and motivation. Also is inborn (in the career that I study) to have a special connection whit children and be patient…very patient. And skills that are learnt are principally doing connection between the elements of the theory that we learn in the University with the capacity to apply this in the practice, for example to recognize a learning problem.
I think that in the University, we don`t acquired the skill necessaries to be a good professional because this University only are interesting in the investigation area and we hardly ever have subjects that let us develop a good class. Would be appropriate for us have subjects of didactic and first aid.
Finally because all mentioned I believe that I don`t really prepares for my work wise but maybe whit practice I can do it!

I love my notebook!

The best technological invention for me are the notebook, this machine has been really wonderful for me. My dad bought me a notebook in October, 2009 because I liked it so much and I was all last year saving up money, but it was not enough, then my dad gave me the rest of money I needed. Since I have my notebook I use it all time while I stay at home, and is really very important for me because it lets me do my homework, investigation works, doing social life, download music, videos, etcetera.

Before I had to use a computer in the study room that was used by my sister, my brother and my mother and it was sometimes very complicated, mainly when my brothers and me needed computer to study. Also in winter many times I had to stay in the room sitting in front of the computer doing a work with a blanket and the stove because the hands were frozen to me and I couldn´t write.

However with my notebook I can use it wherever (and where it reaches to receive WiFi signal) and it is a great benefit because I now can stay doing homework or connected to messenger from my bed and at nights I don´t feel cold so much like before.

I like my notebook, it is my prefer technological machine and one that really has changed my life. I love it so much! If I didn´t have it maybe I still would have to hope that my brothers vacate the computer and I hated it.

Iquique, my favourite trip

Hello! Today I am going to talk about my trip at the capital of first region, Iquique. I visit this place this year for the summer holydays in January. This was the first time I travelled by plane, because my dad said that by car it could be really stressful. The fly lasted two hours approximately and it was very exciting for me.
This trip was in family, I went whit my parents, my sister and my brother and we stayed there for a week. In this time we all days went to Cavancha beach. Also we did a motorboat ride to visit a place in the sea where stay the Esmeralda`s rests, sinked during the Naval Combat of Iquique, on May, 21, 1879. We went to shopping three days at ZOFRI, the traditional Frank Zone of Iquique; this is a great commercial center. Here we bought many things like perfumes, electrical appliances, and innovators things to price.
Undoubtedly, my favourite place that I visited in this trip was Pica. Here we did a guided tour to Saltpeter Office Humberstone, declared a National Monument. This is a very interesting place because is great and has got many old buildings, like a hospital, a theater, a nice square, a church, a little museum and the jobs instruments of the working-class. Humberstone is a full history place and really fantastic! I enjoyed so much visiting it.

"Maria Montessori" a model to follow...

Hi, today I am going to speak about Maria Montessori. She was born on August 31, 1870 in Italy, was physician, educator, philosopher, humanitarian and devout Catholic.
Firstly she study in a technical school to becoming an engineer, then she study biology and finally she was accepted in the Medicine Faculty at University of Rome. In 1986 she was graduated how the first woman doctor in her country.
However she is best known for her philosophy and the Montessori Method of education of children from birth to adolescence. She based her idea in the respect to child and in their learning capacity. Children haven`t be a parent`s reproduction and imperfect teachers but children must be seen like a hope for the humanity, because I admire her.
Montessori Method has been since 1907, when Maria Montessori created the first children’s house in Roma (Italy). The work of Maria Montessori was not only develop a new method of learn, but also discover the life and help to child to achieve his potential like human. And developing this potential through of senses in a prepared environment and using the scientific observation of a trained teacher. Of this Way children have the opportunity of learn and use freedom from of the years of developing.
Finally the education method Montessori is the capacity of teacher to love and respect to children like persons and be sensitive to their needs and her educational method is in use today in a number of public as well as private schools throughout the world.

Chile Education

When I heard speak about Chile Education, I think immediately in the unequal education and in the differences between education acquired in a private school, a municipal school and the subsidized private schools (a kind of school is a private school that receives aid from the government). Were the major difference is the quality of education.
Well, however I think that if in our country the education is compulsory, good education must be a right, not an option that only few children can receive.
I believe that the mains problems we need to solve are connected with the formation of the professionals of the education, and here is our role like a futures teacher. Also I think that is very important the education acquired in the first grades principally at kindergarten or playgroup, where children learn the basic, for example learn how to communicate.
In my own experience, I studied in subsidized private schools during thirteen years, and always in Catholics schools for girls. The education was good, but not excellent because these kinds of establishment prefer to educate in values and spends a lot of time in religion activities.
I don`t know specifically about any projects to considerably improve the Chilean education, however I think that is very pressing to improve the quality of education and offer equal opportunities for who would like access to good superior education.

My Favourite film: "Legally Blonde"

Hi! Today I am going to speak about my favourite film. This is “Legally Blonde” an American comedy directed by Robert Luketic. I saw this film for the first time when I was twelve years old on 2003, two years after of his premiere.
I remember this film was very exciting for me since beginning until the end because the history of her main character, a bubbly sorority girl, “Elle Woods” was funny in all moment.
I love the complot of this film, Elle, a blonde woman that live in California, is very beautiful, very popular and one of the best in her specialty “fashion design” but her live changes when her boyfriend left her because she is not very seriously for her. In this moment Elle decides to apply for Harvard to become a law student where her boyfriend will be studying the same.
In the University Elle is humiliated for her teacher and for her classmates principally for her aspect. However she never changes her personality and this is that I like. Then Elle demonstrates that is able to resolve a case and her boyfriend admits he underestimated Elle, and wants her back, but Elle rejects him, having come to prefer her new career and don’t like be with a stupid.
Finally the film shows Elle graduates from Harvard and I love this part because she says the importance of believe in yourself.

"BBC LEARNING ENGLISH"

Today I visited the page www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/ . This page offers us many categories to developing diferents activities to learning English.
I chose Quizzes category and the game that I play was Wordmaster. This game is very funny because you can practise your vocabulary; you only have to put the words to fill the blank spaces and finally you will can read the complete sentence.
This game has three levels: easy, medium and difficult and in each one you have to game against the clock because you have to try to achieve the maximize point score. Also you can see the definition about the word and finally you will listen the complete sentence to practise your pronunciation.
This activity was very useful for me because let me learn English practicing vocabulary, expressions in a diversity of sentences, and practice listening that is very difficult for me. I recommend this website for all who like learn English even from the house.
