My blogging experience

In this class we did a blog for practice to write in English. The principal idea for this blog is that the student learn to write and reed in English. I think that this form to teach have a big responsibility in us, because depend of the students , in this case me and my perseverance.
About my blogging experience, I enjoy it, because I can write about things that I like and I could say that we wanted on them. The other think that I enjoy of this blog are that we could choose some time the topic about we can write. The experience that I didn`t enjoy are about when the class end after that I finished my post, because I stay in the computer room after that 6.
I think that this space in the class help me because I can see different mistake that I made when I write English, and I tried to correct them in next blog that I post. So, this blog help me learn to read English, because when I comment the other blogs I had to understand what said.
One advantage of the blog is that teach us to communicate in English with a didactic way. Another advantage is that I can raise sentences in different time, this allows me to acquire the ability to write sentences in different time and I acquire the ability to differentiate when is right and wrong.
About the disadvantages of the blog, I think that are in relation with the responsibility of the student of this, because that this form of learning is useful when the student use this tool constantly and strive to know their mistake and correct them. Other disadvantages for the blog is that in this space we can practice the pronunciation, that would be horrible if we don`t have other time to practices this.

PHOTOGRAPH



I find this potograph in the website http://lacomunidad.elpais.com/visauniversal/posts, this photograph won the first place in the third competition for the best photograph of the year, this competition was organize for the UNICEF (United Nations Children`s Fund) in 2008. I don`t know who took it, because the informartion isn`t in this website the only informaction is about the years that this photograph was capture, It`s 2008

This photograph shows a child in a sector of the public bathroom, her feet step garbage, we can see like she lives whith the dirt of her enviroment, arround the animals and houses in por condition. So, we can see in this picture the poverty that live thousands of children.

This photograph was taken in a marginal neighborhood of Haití. If we kwon, Haitì is a country that have a lot of problems of poverty and organization. So this picture shows one problema of this nation. I like this picture, because show as a reality for a country that is very close to us, and it do that we think why this thing happen.

I think that take photographs is a form to denunciation the bad thing of the world. And we can see other realities of the world. This photograph in particularly show at reality that live a lot of people of different age. This is only a face of the inequality.

my favorite hobby...

Honestly, I don`t have a hobby but I like have it. My reasons because I don`t have one are in relation when the fact that I don`t have time because I have a lot of activities in the university, not only study, but this activity I don`t consider like a hobby because I do that for reason that are so important.
In relation with my favorite hobby that I like to do, I ever think in basketball because when I went to the school I practiced that and I was so good. I started with this sport when I was 7 years old.
When I practiced this I went to school two morning between Monday and Friday, and Saturday. I remember that my teacher was to old as a grandfather, and he was to tall, like a tree, his name was Pedro. He was a good player in his young time. And he taught me a lot of think about basketball, in special discipline that you need. Apparently I forgot that, because i don`t play basketball now , but I don`t think that because I use discipline in the other activities that I do.
I like basketball because is a sport that teach you play in group, you never can play basketball alone, ever in the court are important. And now I really like to start again to play basketball.

My favorite movie

My favorite movie is “La lengua de las mariposas” . The director of this movies was José Luis Cuerda, I do not much about he, but I think that this movies are a good creation. This movies was develop in the started to spanish civil war, in Galicia.
The main characters in this movie are Moncho, a child that have 5 years and the teacher Don Gregorio. Both character have between their an special relation. Is like a father and his child, but is not only that because are friend.
The movies to tell at scholar life in Galicia . Moncho, started the school but he have a lot fear because he listen that the teacher to mistreat a kids. But he found that a teacher that like the liberal and republican idea. This teacher is been the victim to the terrible event of the period, when the rebellion fascist have a victory in this small town. The finally is so sad because the teacher is arrest for to kill he.
I like this movies because show the simple aspect to the life in a moment that the violence stay in all space of the life. And we can see that the friendship is not about age, is about love and understanding together.

The part that is typical ,in my experienceis , the dinner, in this moment I stay whith my family, we are a lot of and the differente generation so in this moment we talk about different experiences that hace happened in the year and we prepare for the nex years. In the dinner you can eat a lot, generaly is turkey ar chicken whitg different salad. I always eat a lot of food.

Then when the twelve o'clock at night we open the champagne and the celebration start. In this moment the people you can make different traditiosn like eating lentils for to hace money in teh year or you can walk on the stree whith suitcase for to travel long in the year

This festivities is important because give you the posibility to forget the bad things of the years, you can see you family and you can think about the last year reflexively and you can draw many conclusion that you can use in the new year.

Finally, I like this celebration because is a moment that you share whith people that is important for you and you can eat a lot.

My favorite singer

My favorite singer is Victor Jara, he was a big revolutionary because he could show the reality in his song. He was an important chilean musician ho was killed during the military dictatorship in the nacional stadium.

Victor Jara was more than a singer, he was a composer to, that's why when he sings he should his heart and he could touch the people.

I don`t kwon exacly what kind of music he played, I would say that is music folk, but the most importat is that his music is about social protest and the feeling of The People.

I like his music because I think that his creation are wonderful and simple. And I like because I always thought that the music should be an expresion of the major problems of the society such as inequality and Victor Jara could show that.
