Is this the las time?

Until now, I thought that blogging wasn't fruitful at all, but after all the classes where I blogged I have learned new words from all the work, I mean that thanks to the different topics that you miss told us to do where for us to learn new vocabulary en topics that we are used to talk about, but in Spanish.
Some of the topics at the begging where kind of confusing or sometimes, even boring, but at the end when you finished it you notice that that topic can help you, maybe not now but yes in your future, maybe not in your near future but yes in some part of your life when you can get involve on it.
In most of topics of the blogging classes we had to choose them, and that's something that I loved, because you can search for a topic that you like, so you are going to have more knowledge about it even if it's in Spanish, but this make everything easier. Not like other cases like topics from the book which are boring and you don't feel attraction to talk about it.
So at the end I love to work blogging, but I didn’t like to work under pressure (lol), but with pressure is how everybody work better, wherever they work and whatever the work be. As the last class of blogging I feel kind of melancholic but I feel happy at the same time, because after all, the time that I used here was to learn and that one thing that I love the most.
I hope to continue using this blog to some purpose, just for learn about a lot of things, and how to write better. I'm not quite sure how to improve more my English with other techniques apart from the ones that I already know.
Well, as a farewell I'm going to put a video, I hope this don't bother Miss B.

Horror movies....


Well, I was going to write about a very famous French movie, but I had to change because this movie maybe it was going to be used by someone else, so I changed to horror movies.

The movie that I'm going to write it's a Japanese horror movie (the Japaneses have a lot of very good horror movies, if you saw "The ring", maybe you know that his original version, was Japanese and his name was "Ringu") and it's call "Chakushin ari". this movie was filmed on 2003, but in 2008 the was a USA remake, called "One Missed Call"

If I try to remember the year when I saw this movie, has to be 2004, because I was on the last year of high school, his director is a world wide famous Japanese director, named Takashi Miike. and it's located on Japan, I don't know in what city in particular :P.

About the plot, an institute student, Yumi Nakamura , is drinking something with a group of friends. Meanwhile her classmate, Yoko, receive a strange call on her cellphone with a unusual ringtone that she hadn't heard before. On the screen appears "one missed call". when she check her voice mail, it doesn't came from her own cellphone, what's more it has a terrible scream that sounds exactly the same as the voice of Yoko and it's from three days on the future. Three days later at the exact hour, and with the same scream, Yoko jump from a train bridge to the rail ways.

Some days after that another person from the party, Kenji, receive a call from the future from his own cellphone. The message has too a scream that shock him. Kenji dies too on the specific date at the specific hour after cream the same as Yoko. Natsumi knows that she is condemned she is totally scared and shocked she accept to be in a TV show at the hour that his missed call said that she is going to die. In an attempt of exorcise this curse she goes with the owner of a undertaker's, Hiroshi Yamashita, who has lost his sister on similar circumstances.

Both start to follow a clue with all dead. Meanwhile, Natsumi's dead is close. On live through national TV Natsumi dies of a terrible form. At the same time Yumi and Yamashita watch Natsumi's ruin body, Yumi's cellphone start to ring, now Yumi must solve the mystery before she dies.

What I like about this movie was the plot, and the deads, jaja, I mean the special effects and how they treat the death and that when it's your time you can't change this, even with this useful tool as the cellphones are.

Here you have the ringtone of dead:



And here you have the ringtone of the American version:


And here a Piano version of both:

Creativity on education




About creativity on education, in this speak Ken Robinson say a lot of things that are crudely truth, some of this things he says them like a joke because are so crude if you say it in other way that can hurt the feelings of someone.
On of the things that he says, for example is that everyone is interested on education, and thats true!!! and in the case of Chile everyone believes that is an expert on education! they can say, and they do, a lot of things that they think can help education to improve. But when you said that you work in education they're not going to tell you anything or by the contrary it can be worse, they can tel you a lot of techniques to be a better teacher, but they haven't study anything related with education!!!
Well, returning to the creativity of children on school, it's true that they have some classes of Art, but that's not enough there are kids that can be artist and as MR Ken Robinson say about something that Piccaso says "all children are born artists. The problem is to remain an artist as we grow up" ans that's completely true! in our schools we don't have other classes like dancing, acting or other kind of artistic classes that they should have.
Another problem that is happening nowadays is related to mistakes, all children aren't afraid of do mistakes, and we adults are more than that we are scared of make a mistake in whatever we do in our lives, in the work, in our relationships, with our children, and even with our friends. And because of that we made all the schools sensibles to the mistakes that a student can do, with this now they are scared of make some mistake, even if you learn with this!! if a student don't understand a subject they don't ask to the teacher for another explanation, they just don't say anything and they don't learn good or don't learn at all the subject.

At the end if we aren't prepare to make mistakes and to correct them we aren't ready to change anything to help the future generations, and we aren't going to help them to be better persons.

Studyin what you like?

Well, lets go and answer a survey for the teacher, because she love us so much!!! so she want to know more about us, and why we are bothering her in her classes XD.

First of all.

Why did you choose this university?


Because when I was in my "Preu" I had a teacher (actually he was the owner of that preu XD) he talked a lot about this University, He said that this University is growing and with the time it's going to be one of the best on terms of private Universities, and on the other hand he told me that Alberto Hurtado University has a lot of great and excellent teachers. So by recommendation I entered to this University (and i like it's discourse of pluralism)

Why are you studying this career?

well, personally I choose this career because i like to teach others and on the other hand I like (well the truth is that I love) English, so what's best than study what you like/love? one time I read: "If you don't want to work in your entire life, study what you love to do" so I hope that this will be my passion.

What do professionals in your area contribute to society?

Anything, jajaja, just a joke (lol). The truth is that now a days the importance of English on the daily routine is growing every minute, and with this the importance teacher grow with it, but on schools just now the government started to give more importance. We as future English teachers know that we're going to do classes may be to the president or to some minister of the future. At the end our contribution is going to be related with how someone is going to understand and comprehend their environment and how this are going to have influence in their lives.


What tools will a professional in your area need to have in the future?

I can think just in one and for me at least is the main characteristic that they need to have. They will need to be more creative in all the topics, and how he/she is going to work on them. Without this his/her students will be bored on all his/her classes. And with this creativity they can use all the tools present on the technologies, because all the kids are more and more involve with it now a days.

What is your favorite subject? Why?

Language, of course, because I love to learns every day new words, phrases and how to use them, because on comparison with me but three years in the past, I were so ignorant about English. When I was on school i even care the English classes and when i think on it, it was because all the teachers that I had didn't know how to do good and at the same time interesting classes.



Well that was a little about me, just because the miss wanted an interwiew with me XD

Greetings to every one!!!!
