Invesion!!!

Inversion 1

. She had never seen anything so beautiful before.
.The effects are becoming apparent only now.
.Exhibits must be touched on no account
.You rarely find a coin of this age in such a good condition
.When she got home, she realized what had happened.

Inversion 2

.Nowhere in the world is there a city with as many beautiful monuments as Rome.
.Very rarely do you come across anyone nowadays who hasn’t been abroad.
.Only by living in a country where the language is spoken can you learn it.
.Under no circumstances should tourist be allowed to visit the Antarctic.
.Not until you’ve tried French cuisine will you know what good food is.
.Not only did I hate visiting monuments as a child but also I couldn’t stand going into museums.
.Only recently have I started going on holiday without my parents.
.Never again will I come back to that place I went to last year on holiday.


Inversion 3

Last vacation, not only did I spend a terrible vacation in a Caribbean hotel, but also I didn’t rest at all.
At no time did I receive the information I needed to not to get confused with my number of room and the cost of my staying.
Only when I woke up the next day, someone explained me how much will the cost be.
No sooner did I give the assistant MasterCard, she told me that they only accepted Visa.
Not once had I had a worst vacation like this.
Never again will I come back to that hotel.

My Blogging experience

Good morning everyone;

To be honest, it results difficult for me to give and objective opinion about my experience in Language V. Actually I’m kind of disappointed and unhappy with my performance during this semester. So, my mood has gotten terrible for this reason and I suppose that I am not able to think positive. However, I will make an effort.
According to the Blog, I have to admit that it was a very good and innovating way to improve our writing skills. In fact, by doing this, I could recognize which are the mistakes and find the way to avoid them.
In spite of the fact I am not really keen on technology because it is a complete nightmare for me,the Blog resulted to be pretty easy to use. That was a complete good aspect for me. If it hadn’t been such as simple, I would have probably had to write by hand.
On the other hand, Blog also was a good tool to keep in touch with my classmates and to get more information about their tastes. I also learnt more about their opinions of some specific topics and of course, I realized about the writing mistakes they also had.
Related to the improvement we have made since we started posting, I believe that these ones have helped us to become into better writers, able to recognize not only our own mistakes, but also others.
Posting also was useful for me, in order to not be afraid of expressing my ideas or let people know about myself. I used to dislike the idea of allow people know me because of the thinking or opinion they could have after being familiar with me.

Now, I am not afraid anymore and I feel free to express everything I want in any situation. Of course, I know that I should be respectful and not go over other people opinions and ideas.
In conclusion, this is what I can say about the Blog, without feeling terribly depressed about this semester. I tried to be as optimistic as I could. I hope you can understand me.
Regards, Leonor.

Favourite websites!!!


Hi again!!! Well, Iam more relaxed. Although I m still nervous because of the essay we were asked to write.


Anyway, we just have to wait...


On the ohter hand I have to write abou my favourite website. However, I do not have only one site. If I divided my websites into cathegories I would say that:


If I want to look for the last news that have happened in the world I chose http://www.latercera.com/ , where news are brief but concretes. I also read http://www.bbc.com/.


However, If I just want to read about weird things or paranormal events I go to www.escalofrio.com . Actually, I am thinking in giving up this site, because it has become a little bit ridiculous with the tales and news it has.


I sign in http://www.pedigree.com/ daily, to see how many dogs were adopted, how many were born and how many are still without a sweet home.

I suggest you to bacome into a member of this fantastic association, which is always trying to give dogs and cats the treat they deserve.


I am not a very active fan of facebook. Actually I do not have idea why I bacame into a member. I supposed I was acutely boring that day.


Ok, these are some of my sites!!!. I invite you to pay a look at them. Maybe you will find something interesting.

Bye and relax your minds!!!

The Simpsons........!!!!


Hello guys!!!

Well, Although I continue with my terrible flu, I am feeling better today.

I love the topic I have to speak about.

My favourite cartoons are The Simpsons!!!.

The are, undoubtely the most fantastic society critics of all.

Simpsons have made a cosiderable revolution in many countries due to the fact that their chapters show some typical problems that normal families have to face in the society where they live.

Matt Greoning, Simpsons creator, is an very creative person who reproduces in the cartoons the thinkings he has about the society.

Simpsons have been in air for about 20 years and have been translated into 12 different languagues. The are believed to continue existing ever after because Matt Greoning adecuates the cartoons to each period that ocurrs in the reality.

My favourite character is Bart. Homer makes me go nuts sometimes bacause of his stupid behaiviour. Marge is the perfect wife but kind of innocent in some moments.

Lisa is the special girl who hate the established system and fights to change it.

Maggie is the yougest girl, who ir growing up in a pretty complex way because she receives the examples of her family, which are sort of bad for a little baby.

Simpsons are the best, I hope they never end.

Hi !!!


Sorry if I am posting too late but yestarday I was so sick. The flu is killing me. The Doctor told me to stay in bed until monday, but as I am a achingly responsible student, here I am.
OK, we were asked to talk about something I hate doing at Home.
To be honest, I love cleaning my house, specially my bedroom because there is where I spend most of the time doing homework or watching television.
The only thing that I am not allowed to do is cooking, but not because I am not good at it but because It is my mother´s favourite activity, so, nobody can get into her territory.
Onthe other hand in what of the house chores I am not good at ironing clothes, because I always leave the neck of the shirts creased.
Anyway, I believe that to have a complete special time in our home, wehave to keep it clean and shine. That's the clue.

Home sweet home!!!


Hi again!!! As some of you know, I live in a flat (located in a block of flats) with my big nice family. It is a white and beige large flat, with 8 rooms and a confortable balcony plenty of little green plants like tulips, lupins, and a kind of carnivore plant that it is supposed to clean the air microbes. I think it is carnivore because Koda has gotten some injuries when she has been close to it. Ok!!! the laundry room is small and too white. It is also Koda's dinning room. Neht to this one, You will see the kitchen that has, obviously has the typical things like the kitchen, the refrigerator, the sink, etc. Inmediately after the kitchen you will find the dinning room and the living room near it, which is tastely decorated. At the left of the living room you will see the guests toilet which it is in urgent needs of repair, because I broke the wall trying to put a picture... Mum almost killed me. Infront of the toilet, there are two bedrooms: mines and my sister`s . Both are distingishly painted in beige colours. My bedrrom is my temple, so I keep it in perfect cleaning conditions. My parents`bedroom is close to mine, at the right of it. This one is the biggest bedroom and the other bathroom is there.
In spite of I miss to have a gerden of a big backyard as I used to have in Argentina I love my flat and I have spent many good times there!!!
Have a good week!!!

Chiloe!!!


Hi Classmates!!! Well, due to the fact of many people have told me the faboulous things and places that Chiloe has it, I am completly decide to visit it some day.
Actually, I do not know a lot about this city, just that it is located in the south of Chile and it is plenty of legends and miths.
My boyfriend, who has visited Chiloe twice talked me about the pictureless house that can be moved from one place to another one. I think they are called "Palafitos".
Of Course I am going to try all the different typical food that Chiloe offers to tourists like "Curanto en Hoyo", "Chapalele", etc.
Definitely, If I go there, I will buy all kind of clothes made of that warm wool I have heart a lot.
As I love knowing about different cultures I will take some lesssons of the common dance that people form this city has. It is called "Baile Chilote".
Despite of being so expensive, I have been recommended to visit it as soon as possible because of its beauty and nature. So, I believe that my money will be well wasted if I spend it on travelling to Chiloe.
Regards!!!, Leonor.

Factors that reduce motivation in students!!!




Hi dear classmates!!!

Let me introduce my future e-ssay!!

In the first part of my e-ssay I will give my own arguments to show my reasons of why I consider that motivation is such an important aspect in children development.
After that, I will explain the real situation that is happening in schools by these days. How motivation has been vanished from children learning skills will be my central point.
After presenting the problem I will explain and show what are the main factors that provoque this problem of lack of motivation.
Finally, I will conclude by giving some pieces od advices to solve the problem and suggetions not only for teachers but also for children because both must work together and find a good solution to transform eduaction into a good and motivating way to learn.
See you!!!

Absolutely agree!!!



Good Morning everyone!!!

Ok, after listening to Sir Ken´s monologue (which I must admit it was sort of difficult) I say that I completly agree with most of the things he mentioned abou education, specialy when he explained that "creativity is as important in schools as literacy and that we should treat it with the same importance".

Sir Ken also gives some examples of how teachers restrict children imagination and he examplifies this with experience of the girl who was drawing God´s face and the teacher bothered at her.

However this situation not only happens in Sir Ken´s country, but also here in Chile. Actually in believe that this is a problem in almost the entire world.

Chilean schools have had many problems during these last years because pupils have emerged to fight against a system which is not focussed in their good development as autonomous citizens.

However, their requierements were not heart by educative institutions and the problem has worsened drastically.

Teachers should be prepared at the Universities to change this system. They should also be given of some new tools and strategies that help them to support pupils autonomy and social development.

Education does need fixing because it has have mistakes and problems since I was a girl.

Students are not the same as they were 30 years before and the world has changed too.

So, teachers must get adapted to each period to not bacome into boring inexperted professionals.

Nevertheless, there are some methodologies that should continue existing like test and evaluation but they lso ought to be changes in terms of form and ways.

For example: tests would less frightening for children if they were not only with exact information from a text book, but also if they could give "THEIR OWN" opinion and constructive critic to the topic which is being evaluated.

That is a good form to educate ciritical people and with cognitive knowledge at the same time...

I expect having tools and energy enough to make a change and to transnform the world and make it better.
Have nice weekend!!!

Reading tastes!!!


Ok, this a topic I also like to talk about!!!

Personally, I think that my common type of books are those which let you something strong to think about, like a learning or a new point of you you did not have before.

That is the reason why people should read, to have more knowledges about some aspects in special.

However, my mood also makes me prefer reading science fictionsometimes. Specially,books referred to topics like UFO, Paranormal Events, Palm Reading, etc. I am a complete mistical person. And this readings also are useful to relax myself from the stress of this reality.

If I had to recommend you a good book that teaches you how important is being brave and strong to achieve our goals I would definitely choose an autobiography called "Mi planta de Naranja Lima", by the Brazilian author Jose Mauro de Vasconcelos.

In spite of the sadnes of thta book you will realize after read it that it doesn`t matter how much suffering you have had in your life if you are keen on improve and fight agains them.

On the other hand, this book also shows the poorest part of a country that is visited by many tourist during the who do not notice that situation.

It is a short book, no more than 300 pages but it startes changuing youe thinkings since the beggining of the lecture...

You should read it as soon as possible. It produces you an entire feeling of going on in spite despite of everything.

Nevertheless if you want to feel a little bit scared I undoubtedly suggest you to read book like "God, Evils and UFO", "Dolls House", "Bermudas Traingule". Actually I do not remermber their author and I am too busy to look for them in the web. So please if you are interested in them you can search for more information by your own...
Have Peace!!!

What I would like to learn!!!


Hi classmates!!! Oh!!! Ifeel terrible I do not know if I got the flu or something like that but I have not stopped caughing since this morning.

Anyways.

Today the topic is kind of difficult because I am plenty of things I would like to learn.

One of the most exotic and aleternative is to learn "Reflexology".

This is an natural therapy which consits in relaxing our bodies and minds through very delicate massages in our feet.

Why feet? Because they have all the brain ending connections that go arround our bodies.

This connection are estimulated by being massaged, so the body produces more substances that help and improve our health.

With this kind of help plus the medical one, people can fight against illness like stress, sevre headaches, digestive problems, and all type of illnes that are affecting our society by these days.

Reflexology can also increase the proteins and the liquids the body needs to resist a treatment like chemotherapy (to those who have cancer or leukemia), tritherapy (to those who have AIDS), etc.
For that reasons and because I love helping people not only by teaching, but also with others methos is why I would like to have time and money to pay a "Reflexology" course.
Recenlt, people hava also started doing Reflexoly not only in feet. They also do it in hands and head.
What a complete method, don´t you think?...
Bye.

My Niece and Nephew!!!


Here I am again!!! Now, my topic will be focused in one of the most significant people in my life:

My niece Florencia and my nephew Diego.

Both are my sister`s children. Flor is 6 years old and she satrted first grade this year. Fortunatelly, she has had a remarkable bahaiviour, in spite of it is achingly difficult for her to keep hersel quiet.

When I knew that my Sister was pregnat I felt that the life was not going to give me anything better because being an aunt was something I had always wanted.

Sadly, I was still in Argetnina and my sister was here. So I was not able to live her pregnancy time with her.

When Flor was born I was the happiest person in the whole country. We had already moved to Chile so, everything was perfect.

After arriving home Florencia became into the center of attentio of the whole family. Honestly I could not avoid feeling a little big jelaous but it was just for a short time.

I learnt everything related with baby care by practicing with Florencia.

The first times I used to change her nappies in the wrong way and I also used to go nuts when she cried terribly loud and without knowing the reason.

However, everything I learnt with Flo helped me to tke care of Diego in a very easy and effcient way.

Diego is one year old and he is accutely cute and nice. He started bubbling like 6 month ago and actually, he has improved his vocabulary magnificiently. He knows words like "Papa" , "Mama", "No se", "Quiero comer", "No", etc, etc. She calls me "Nonor" and calls my boyfriend "Nmanuel".

They are a strong support for me to continue achieving goals. In spite of I have been kind of far away from them because of the University works, they know that I love them so much and that I am going to give them and help in everything they need.
I love my sister for having given me these two people and I am deeply greatful of having been so lucky.
Regards!!!



A pet I loved!!!


Hi my dear classmates!!! Well, as you have seen I have already spoken about Koda, so I am not repeating the story. However, as I am an animals fan I feel glad to talk now about my pet I had like 9 years ago. Actually it was not a pet, it was a wild animal. It was an Opposum. Her name was "Rayita" because of her long black stripe in her head.

Rayita arrived to my house after my brother found her in a park. She was starving when I met her and she looked ill and horrified. We thought she was not going to survive.

We took her to the vet, who told us to start feeding her with milk and very little amounts of meat. And he also advised us that we shoul give "Rayita" to the "Zoo" because those wild animals were forbbiden to live as domestic pets.

Of course, we only followed the first instruction the vet gave us, because I was completly opposed to the idea of leavig "Rayita".

After some time, like 2 or 3 weeks Rayita got a perfect health and she bacame into a part of the family, together with Yuly, my 5 years small white dog.

It is supposed that Opposums do not go over 3 or 4 kilos and that they are prepared to climb trees, run so fast and being without eating for long periods of time. But Rayita lost her wild nature completly . She used to have two meals a day and to drink like a half liter of milk too.

If I put her on a tree she did not know what to do to descen from it. Her weight was like 6 kilos . The only aspect she keep from her wild nature was the bad and disgusting smell she expelled from her tail whe she got angry. Foxes normally do that to defend themselves from human attacks.

Rayita had a memorable life with my family and I. I still remember hoe fun I had playing with her and my dog and the giant quantity of bread and cheese we ate together.

She died in the year 2000, and in spite I still miss her I know that she had a remarkable time as a domestic pet.

Bye!!!!!!!!!


Note!!!: I did not have a digital camera 9 years ago so I can`t upload a real picture of her. But this is the most similar I could find.

My ideal Holidays!!


Mmmm ,actually, I have been feeling so sad and frustrated by these days because, due to the fact that we have a lot of things to doI am not spending the time I would like to spend together with my family. To be honest I am seeing my Dad only in the mornings because when he arrives in the night I am studying, or typing worksheets orpractising phonetics or stuff like thta. So I do not share the dinner with him... neither with Mum.
For that reason I feel that a pefect vacation to get my mood better would be in the North of Chile; more specific in a place called "Valle del Elqui", which is located like 3 hours away from La Serena City.
Valle del Elqui is sort of a mysthic place. Itis summerged beteween giants and impressive mountains and it is like 2000 meters high.
It is a mini city,where you can stay in fantastic hotels, you can got and know wooden marvelous pubs and restaurants and of courseyou do have to go for a walk in the night and receive a complete tour where you can appreciate the whole sky, full of stars which seem to be very close to the top ofyour nose.
If your are lucky you can see a U.F.O, and improve your staying there.
I have been in Valle del Elqui 3 times and I wouldrepeat my experience again and again. Of course the things go better if are in a good company. So,Mum, Dad and Koda!!!! wouls be the best partenderfor me to enjoy this experience again.
Regards!!! Leonor.

The base of Humanity!!!


I deeply believe that to make and to transform this world we do really need to improve the quality of education and to extend the possibily of being educated to every single person. Education is a right, so everyone must have acces to it.
However, Education shoul change in aspects such as:
Teacher should be prepared not only for teaching knowledges like Maths, Language, Literature, History, etc. They also ought to teach and transmit values, moral, useful experiences tha help pupils to feel interested in being better people. Teacher must also be ready to receive pupils constructive critics and viceversa because in that way not only teachers are going to educate, but also pupils.
In addition, the whole edaucative community, that means directors, teacher, pupils perents must be arranged to improve all weaknesses and to make all the good aspects much better.
Something that would bring good result is would be tha fact tha teacher could find a method where all pupils could feel taht they can be do whatever they want if they study, because by doing this, they would be able to achieve every single problem in their life.
On the other hand, there is not an specific age to study or to try to excell themselves. So, nobody should discriminate those people who want to study after becoming into adults because that can also afford to a better future.
As a second aspect of my brief reflextion, I support the idea that if teachers changed their arcaic and ancient methodologies of teaching they would produce a remarkable possitive modificatin in students behaiviours because they would feel education closer to them and more atractive too.
Therefore, students would work enthusiastically.
To make my ideas clearer, I think that as a future teacher I would educated my pupild under 4 aspects, that in my opinion are essential to form good citizens. This aspects have been told by a very important author, specialized in Education called Jaques Delors.
These are:
Learning to be: it means that teachers must give pupild tool to be useful and productive pupils. They also must teach pupils to become into authentic and autonomous people but with the capacity of working in groups.
Learning to do: means to teach student how to do good and effcient things and how to face the laboral life in the future, where they will have to compit but respecting others and without forgetting values and moral.
Learning to live together: pupils, at the end of their educative life, should have obtained the tools to accept different people and all kind of diversity that destiny could show them.
Learning to know: means rthat pupils do need to know and to discover different types of realities, and selects in which one he or she feels more confortable to live in and to help too.
That is mostly what Ibelieve of education.
I hope I can do a good job in my profession.
Regards!!!



My perfect City!!!


Actually I did not like Victory City at all. Maybe I am too realistic to think about a place like that because, first of all, we have to fix the worl where we are living these days.
Because of that reason I would say that my seggestions to solve the real problems like poorless, lack of work, education quality, animals extinction, streets dogs, etc, woul be.
First we really need to make people have conscious abput the situation of the worl. That could be made by doing massive meetings, more cruel reposrts to show the complete problem, and after doing that we could encourage people with a hich economical level to spend a bit more of their money or salary on associations that help to solve these kind of problems.
We definitely need to prepare future adults to this project, I mean we should show children the reality since they start school and persuade them that this problem, in spite of being such as difficult, they do have a solution.
On the other hand, work and national capital would be equitatively distributed in my "Perfect City". Therefore nobody would be earning less salaries that the one they need to feed their family and to have ab confortable life quality.
Referring to education, I would to give an exam like "PSU or PAA" or something like that would become strictly forbidden. Stuident would have a year to take some kind of test to realize in whci areas rthay are good at, so after one year of training they could beggin studying everything they want dependind on their abilities and strenghts. Of course they would not have to pay anything.
Education is a right established many times ago in the international article that refers to the Humans rights.
The same woul happen with medicine and health in my "Perfect City". Nobody wpould have to sell everything they have to be able to pay a treatment against any kind of ill. They probably would pay just for some medicines but not for the whole treatment. By this method, muche more lives that today would be saved and not only lives of people who can really afford to pay it.
Streets dog would dissapear, because the goverment should invest money in associations that have dogs safe inside it.º
So, I strongly believe that we shoul start changing the structure which is established right now, and then think about a city like "Victory City"
Take Care!!!

Dreams!!!


Hi everyone!!!


Ok!!! Fortunatelly this is a topic I really like too.


Dreams , What are dreams? During a long time this subject was not important to anybody but It was Sigmud Freud the first in 1895 the one who gave a scientific theory about what dreams are and how important they are to us.




He explained that when you have a great necessity of doing, saying or finishing something but you are not able to make that wishes true or possible, this ones come back to the " cerebral cortex" and locate it into the unconscious part of the brain. Tehre when we get into the second part of the sleepy (there are theree), this unconscious part satrt working and produces signasls tha catch the wish which was saved there and mixes it with the others frustarted wishes that had been saved there before.




That is why most of the time dreams are sort of incoherent or weirds, because they all get mixed when we sleep.


However, Freud also said that there are some particular moods which can modified dreams and can trasnform them into something pretty close with the reality that the person or his relatives are facing.


Referring to "premonitory drems" Freud sueggested the theory that due to tha fact that if the people are very worried about their or somebody else´s health , or they have economical problems, or something like that, they uasully go to bed such as worried that when they fall asleep tha conscious part tranfers thiis worries to the unconscious part and this one takes this information and begins processing a variety of images that becomes into dreams that in general, show a way to solve the problem that is happening in the reality.



But this is what a scientific said. There are some others theoris that support the starnge idea tha dreams are a response of our most unknown wishes that for any reason, we won´t be able to do it.


On the other hand since many people in the world have had similars dreams tha contained the same elements, there is another theory tha has given dreams a particular ans specific meaning like:


If you dream with raw meat it means that somebody in your family is going to die. The same destiny will occur if someone has a dream where part of his dentadure falls down or a tooth gets broken.


If you dream with a lot of descomposed food it means that you are going to receive money or someone will have a baby.


If you dream tha someone you love dis it means that he or she is going to live for a lot of time.


If you dream with water, be careful, bad news!!! You will get ripped and will get into needs.


Anyways, al of this won´t be known, but anther person keen on this topic once asked...


"IF YOU DREAMT WITH A RED ROSE AND AFTER WAKING UP YOU FOUND IT IN YOUR PILLOW WOULD YOU CONTINUE BELIEVEN THAT DREAMS ARE JUST DREAMS...?

It just another normal year!!!


Actually, since I learnt to think by myself, I have heard stories about the end of the world.

To be honest, this is a topic in which I am acutely interested in. Due to this reason there are hundreds of books I have read and investigated during these years and I have the perception that some people are mistaking or missunderstanding what year 2012 (specifficaly December the 21º) is going to bring with him.

To those who are thinking they will pass away in that year, please relax!!! The world won`t be completly destroyed and neither people are going to be killed by any war, or epidemy or something like that, because if you think realistically,people are already dying by these disasters by these days and have done it for ages.

The most credible experts have given the theory that what is believed to be happened in 3 years more, is a phenomena called " Solar Equinox". This one consists in an abrupt change of the sun`s movement where the magnetism that protects our earth against the space´s trush is destroyed due to the deep temperatures.

So, when this happens, there Earth will get vulnerable to receive the trush from the space and this fact will cause bad effects in terms of weather, nature, animals´behaiviours and of course, human being´s lifestyle.


Therefore, if the whole enviorment is modified by this phenomena, our way to survive will have to change. We will have to accept the idea that probably we will suffer a kind of backward movement or a recession.


Because of the bad weather there will be plants that are going to disappear , animals that will not be able to be eaten because they will get ill, aspects of the technology that won´t work as well as they do today, new born children who whose parents won´t be able to raise them in a possitive way due to the lack of some vital resources, etc, etc, etc...


But, we won´t die!!! Experts say. And they support the idea that since the beggining of the human history, people have learnt to adapt their bodies, minds and spirits into established patherns.


Therefore, they believe that 2012 year will be a moment in the existence where humans wll have to get used to living differently and thinking about how to rebuild and replace what was destroyed.


In my personal opinion I believe the we are always living and facing bad moments in this Earth, because if you pay a look at the world you realize that there is poorless right now, that animals are being extincted every day by humans, that people and dogs are starving in the streets day by day, that politicians make up a perfect discourse and they do not solve citizens´problems...


So, 2012 year will be as every single year we have lived, because the worl is being destroyed righ now.


But do not forget that there are still people who will fight against problems and will spend their whole life looking for a much better and equitative world.


I am one of those people, Would do like to join me...?










And you... Do you believe in ghosts?


Since ancient times, a significant amount of humans being have had the belief or feeling that we are not the only ones who live in this terrestrial plain. Some of the arcaics and religous cultures like Egypts, Hindues, etc, used to think that after dying, their soul generally climb up to the heaven. There this one was going to be born again (reencarnation).

However, if the person who died had made many mistakes in life, the soul was not going to be able to mount to the heaven and as a cruel punisment for having done terrible actions it was sentenced to live as a spirit in this earth ever after, trying to fix and clean his souls by helping alive people.

This is mostly, a brief tale that exists to explain the belief in ghosts, but of course there are a hundreds more.

So, the point is to try to know a bit more about what is happening by these days with this supposition thta ghosts do really exist?. We obviously have heard millions of stories referring to people who have experienced a ghost meeting in their homes, works, cementeries etc. But, how can we trust on all of them if the topic of ghost is very easy to be manipulated and taken as a way of playing jokes? Moreover, technology helps to make this topic much more unbelievable due to the fact that some special effects can convert an ordinary photograph or video record into a “horrible and terrorific” ghost appearing.

On the other hand, some other experiences related by different people have shown the posibility that ghosts do exist or at least, there are some types of non seen presences in places these people usually visit, specially after the death of someone they knew.

Experts think that sometimes people who die unexcpectedly, their soul do not go up to the “heaven” immediately because they have not realized yet that they are dead, so they keep themselves in this plain but in such a way that they are not completly alive and dead either.

Other people who are keen on this topic defend the idea that ghoss exist because they need to do something here which did not have time, bravery or oportunity to do it when they were alive...

And you...? What do you think is the real true? Think about this, because you can be always be with someone you can not see, but it is taking care of you... Regards!!!

Hello everyone!!! I hope you are in perfect conditions in spite of the fact that the swine flu has made Chilean people felt completely scared and with a deep feeling of paranoia.

But surely, scientifics will find the vaccine against this new illness and after some time this one will be forgotten by the hold world population.

On the other hand, I am so glad of my ELAB I because I have improved all my teaching skills, due to the fact of many of the students have criticized us just with the purpose to make us know about what we were doing bad or what we can make a progress in the thing we do accutely good.

We were practically astonished with the remarkable form they spoke to us, without feeling embarrased and plenty of enthusiasm.

With that experience we grasped that they have a possitive attitude with the idea of change some established metodologies, which are sometimes, kind of inadequate and boring for them.

Therefore, my group and I do need to create new strategies because, by doing this the hold school comunity will be lerning and changuing the aspects that present lack of motivation or good knowledges.

We are sensible to the fact of being a teacher is believed to be an achingly jos. However, my classmates and I do know that every single or group effort that we will do is going to give us a good result and a new achievemnt to face, which surely will trasnform us in a much better professional each day.

Koda!!!


I needed to dedicate a complete post to my Pet Koda!!!! Some of you have had the honor of knowing her like Vania, Nathalie, Cynthia, Consuelo, Viviana, Miguel,etc.
Ok!!!! Koda is a middle size, smart black dog. It was named like this after my niece watched the film "Tierra de Osos" and the main character had the name.
Koda is 2 years old and she is so clever, I taught her to greet people politely. But sometimes she gets so anxious and starts jumping a lot, though.
I carry her everywhere I can, She has been in parties, visits, publis events, parks, etc and in spite of some dislikes of my friends to have Koda in their houses they know that it is strctly forbidden to look at her angrily.
Koda is very important for me, she is another friend more, and sometimes it is better because when i do not want to listen to responses about a problem I tell them to her and she just keeps quiet without saying a word I mean, without barking at all.
Of course, Koda sleeps with me because I am afraid of the dark so Koda makes me feel much more confortable and teke my fears of.
Koda is very extroverted I think, actually she is too extroverted and sometimes she pretends to be the centre of attention in the house. When my nephew Diego was born she got accutely jelaous and we had to be very careful to not let her alone with the baby, bcause she could attack him.
But, despite of that Koda is a member in the family that make us smile and laugh all the time... almost.
Ilove her, and we make a very goos team together... I wsh all dogs could beloved ad Koda is love by all people who know her.

My friends!!!


Another significant thing to talk about are my friends!!! Actually, it`s been always difficult for me to establish firendships, but fortunately, the life gave me four greats people: Ludmila, who has been my friend during 13 years and lives in Argentina (despite of th distance, we keep on touch perfectly), Michelle called nicely "Manita or Cabeza", Carolina and Pipe called "Gon". They are friends 6 years ago, and if it had not been for their support in some situations I would have failed some of my achievments.
They know a lot, they can realize I i had problems or if I have gotten into troubles. They are my "cable to earth" and together with my family they make me feel the luckiest person in the hold world!!!
They trust on me an I hope not to dessilusionate them. I am very kind with them and I often remermber them my grattitude, by writting a letter, inviting them to have dinner, lunch an ice cream, spending time with them or just with a short phone call to knoe abput how the life is going on.
Now, I am trying to make more friends inthe University and I hope I can do excellent friends to make my life more marvellous...
Feeling so Happy... I say good bye!!!

My Family!!!!


Well as I had to slect a topic to speak about I think thta one of the most important is My Family!!!
Well, I live with my Parents Roberto and Teresa, my Sister Mane my Brother in law, Cote, my niece Florencia my nephew Diego and of course I have my pet called Koda!!!!
I have another brother called Diego who lives in Argentina with his wife Veronica, andI admit that one of my pains is to be far away from him. I miss him so much.
In spite of the normal argues we can have, we really love each other and we are always there when someone needs to be helped. I love them, and I feel sou glad to have perents like I have because although they had terrible moments in their lives (both were exiled during the Dictatorship), they coul face everything and achieved the situation with succesful results.
On the other hand, mum and dad have been excellent parents with we 3, We are what we are because of them and their teachings. They taught me to be respectful, honest and suportive person because that is the best way to have good life quality. Iwas raiced with extraordinary critical thinking and love for the animals too. Tht is why I love dogs.
I am always telling them how much I love them and I know that everything they have done in their lives has been for our happiness. !!!
Now you know that I am a complete "MAMONA", and I am so proud of that!!!!!
Bye.

One of my favourite movies is the Elephant man, by the American director David Lynch!!!! It was made ion the year 1980 and it was stared by Anthony Hopkins ,Jhon Hurt.
This film relates the story of Joseph Merrick, a man who is born with a deformity in his hold body that gives him the appearence similar to an elephant. For this reason he suffers punisment and discrimination from others.
Actually, this film demostrates how humans being can not accept different people and how bad they can be, forgetting all kind of values and moralitythat they are supposed to have learnt during their childhood.

I like this song because it shows how money can make people become ambicious and powerful without minding the rest of the people who surround them.
Money can destroy people values and dignity and these people start living just to have much more money and at the end of their lives they realize how lonely they have becomeand howmoney can not solve that lonely.
Sometimes people believe that money is the only way to get happines, however that is only a complement that makes your lifestyle easier.
But money can make you forget who you really are, the place where you from, and people who really love you etc... You can even destroy them just to have more and more money.
Money helps but remember that when yor die the only thing that you will carry to the other life (if there is one) is the love and the values that people who met you give to you.
See you!!!!!!!!

Money

From the album “The Dark side of the Moon”

March 24º,1973

Money, get away.
Get a good job with more pay and you're okay.
Money, it's a gas.
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash.
New car, caviar, four star daydream,
Think I'll buy me a football team.

Money, get back.
I'm all right Jack keep your hands off of my stack.
Money, it's a hit.
Don't give me that do goody good bullshit.
I'm in the high-fidelity first class travelling set
and I think I need a Lear jet.

Money, it's a crime.
Share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie.
Money, so they say
Is the root of all evil today.
But if you ask for a raise it's no surprise that they're
giving none away.

"HuHuh! I was in the right!"
"Yes, absolutely in the right!"
"I certainly was in the right!"
"You was definitely in the right. That geezer was cruising for abruising!"
"Yeah!"
"Why does anyone do anything?"
"I don't know, I was really drunk at the time!"
"I was just telling him, he couldn't get into number 2. He was asking
why he wasn't coming up on freely, after I was yelling and
screaming and telling him why he wasn't coming up on freely.
It came as a heavy blow, but we sorted the matter out"

Vania formal letter´s correction!!!

Dear minister of transport,
Sp Sp

I am Vania Flores and I think that (x) me (and) 1.800.000 people in Santiago are upset because of the transportation system. I agree that there are many buses on the street, but (x) only in downtown.Actually p in Places far from Santiago city like, p San Bernardo, Nos, Buin and Paine Transiantiago Sp is awful. I have to walk, p 30 minutes from my home to the bus stop, p then p I have to wait a lot, because only 1 bus past f over the street. So p I have to wait or (x) take a taxi, but that is really expensive and I can't afford it.Before I take the bus I have to walk to take another bus or take the subway. When I take another bus I have (x) an hour else traveling Sp . But, if I take the subway p I have 30 minutes in a line on the station and then 30 minutes in the carriage. It’s a mess; I have to spend 2 hours in the morning and 2 and a half in the afternoon, because I have to form lines for everything.
I think that when you ww implemented the new system you ww should keep t the old buses, but change f the pay form.This new transportation system has change t people's life in a negative way. We are more irritable and aggressive, because we are always late.So, we need changes, because we don't have money to buy a car, (so) the new highways doesn't t work for those who use busses. We need a decent transportation system.I hope you can understand my problem and think about the solution.

Sincerely,Vania Flores Venegas.

What I can say abouit Vania´s blog!!!

Hello Classmates!!! (How "red" that sounds)

I was reviewing Vania´s blog and I have to say that the best of her ae the photos she has with her little child, who is very very nice!!!

Referring about the layout she choose, this is very normal but attractive at the same time.
I think grren colour mkes the things look much better.
In spite of the fact she has not got many much free time Vania has dedicated a few of it in decorating and improving the appearence of the site.
Sha has also dome some nice decorations with great letters, that, of course I imitated to write in mines.

On the other hand, the posts she has done are very interesting, although she has some grammar mistakes. But these are, maybe because she made them in a hurry!!!
Finally,what I suggest her to improve her blog is to keep on decorating and writing good things, becuse that will hepl her to improve her skills and to not make her blog boring.
It would be a good idea if she continues uploadinh photos of her son, so taht we can see how he is growing up!!!

And of course, what I request her to do is to show photographes of her pets (dogs ann cats), to see if they are well or bad treated. If they are suffering I am going to take drastic decisons, like take Vania to jail for being a inhuman being!!! Hahaha!!!

Looking for a bit of Company!!!

Hello everyone!!!,
First of all, I have to admit that I had never looked for people in such a funny and public way, like the internet. But I hope It will work out.
Anyways, my name is Leonor and I am 20 years old. I am a tall, nice Argentinian woman, who has curly black hair and small brown eyes. I am noral looking, and I really love wearing clothes depneding on my hunour state.I usually wear large colourful or rounded white earings because my mum says that they make my face shine.
Personally, I am a very generous, toleramt and honest Lady, and I really enjoy helping people in need and feeding dogs form the streets.
Studying is veryy funny for me, I thnk that to be educated is the only way to become a good person.
Due to all that, I´m looking for someone who I can share my interest with and that I can als spend good times at big, long and green spaces like Parks, mountains and stuff like that.
My best guy must have a very expanded and permanent capacity of helping people and a big critichal thinking.
About his appearence, what I would like most than everything else would be if the guy has big black eyes and a perfect sun- tanned skin.
I am not asking for a lot of things, aren´t I ?. So I hope i can find someone to be able to transform the world.

Formal Letter!!!


Dear President,

It is with regret that I have decided to write this letter to express my sadness for one ofthe main problems that affect this country: Street´s Dogs.
Although there are a lot of associations that fight to avoid this situation, I think this is not enough. First of all, because some of these associations do not recieve money from the state, working only with economical resources given by people. In some cases these do not cover all the needs of the members, so that,they have to stop picking up dogs from the streets and, as a result, the problem increases again.
On the other hand, I feel that while this situation is worsening each day, our Goverment spends the money in things tah we are not ble to see or to enjoy, because all the requests we have made to you a long time ago are still without a solution. For example: Low quality in Education, Public Transport,Increasing poorless, Unemployment has grown up in a 46 % since 2003,etc.
So, it is for this reason that I was wondering if there is any possibility to revert this in a peaceful and effective form. By saving dogs, we would create a better country, with a the spirit of charity and energy to face the problems,without minding how difficult these ones could be.
We would become into a more conscious society that could start getting closer to transfom their country into a developed and respectful place.
Remember that despite of the fact that dogs are animals,they are alive beings that deserve the same love and treat that us.
I hope you can understand my requests and think about this. I´m on your service if you need help.


Yours sincerely,

Mª Leonor Malverde B.

Hi Everyone!!!

I must admit that BBC is a very goos website. Actually I was watching some important and interesting reports like:. People are sleeping less these days and this fact is deeply affecting their health because they can concentrate well, their temperament is eally frayed and they tend to be always tetchy, like they were angry all the time.This problem could be caused due to the fact that some people are overworked not only because they like working all time but because they need to work more to have enough money to live.The situation is getting worst since teenagers are having the same problem and also some children, because as the fact that some of them have tv or computers inside their bedrooms, they stay awake until several hours after midnight and they have to get up early in the morning. In some cases this could be the cause of their low averages in schools.On the other hand I also read about a page that gives you some english quizzes in few minutes and I really liked the website about phonetic, where we can prctise the pronunciation and know how we sound. This is veryhelpful now to improve our spoken skills.
Ok, that´s all for today, Have an excellent weekend!!!
Regards!!! Leonorsh!!!!
