Hello bloggers

Today, I will write about my experience during English subject in university. I don’t like so much the English, but I have always wanted to learn it because I think that it is very necessary. In university I started with English level 2 and it was quite easy, because most of things I had learned in school. However, the English level 3 it was a bit difficult for me because some activities as oral presentations were difficult.

Until then I only interested in going to english class because I wanted to pass all levels and finish  with English fastly. however, this year, I have a real interest to learn English, cause I'm boring of having to study and read papers in English and don't understand. I think that now I appreciate the English class much more than before, especially I think that using the blog in english class is very useful. The exercise of writing every week is useful to improve grammar and to learn more vocabulary in an entertaining way.

Despite approve English levels, I don't yet feel ready to be in a place where they speak English and communicate me with they without problems . I think there are several aspects that need to improve in my English: vocabulary, pronunciation, and above all that more difficult  is listening. To improve this, I hope taking a crash english course outside the university, this it would help me to reinforce learning. I really think it's important for me to learn English very well, because outside this class, especially this last year, I had to read many articles in English for my career, which becomes very difficult for me.

Hi bloggers!

This year has been very good to me in every way; in the university, with my family, my friend, my boyfriend, but the most important is that this year has been a good year to me...

2014 has been a different year for me, because since I moved for study to Santiago, everything has been too difficult for me… to be away from my family, enter in new world (university), live alone and take care about everything in my apartment, and stopped to do thing that I really loved, such as going to Arabic dance classes in Arabic dance academy in Coquimbo city, going to church group, etc. I really feel so alone and sad all these years, I wanted to return to my home in Coquimbo!

But this year, I decided change my attitude, because I can’t continue so sad. So, I thought of looking for hobbies that I would like to do, and keep me busy in Santiago. So I start to go to dance and after, yoga classes, and I think that this was the most decision, because in this moment I feel that I do what I expected. Now, I feel very good with me, quieter, happier, and I feel that my life is in totally harmony.

Obviously, I still miss my life in Coquimbo city; this will never change… but right now, I think that I get a big achievement at 2014 is that i feel very good with my actually life and this is enough for me.

Regards!

Hello Classmates

Today, I’m going to write about “Johanna Blakley: Social media and the end of gender” video. In this conference, she talks about stereotypes in the social media. Different TV programs, movies, publishing, radio, games, magazines, etc. it direct to specific group of society: young, girls, boys, kids, and other. So, content of this social media is in order to this group of people, forgiving specific interests of each different person. And what is worst… forgiving some persons such as the oldest population, actually exist very few TV programs or another social media, direct to oldest generations.

Social media use to psychographic and demographic to know group of people that use this media. With this, they study what is music that prefers the young (in general)? What movies men prefer to watch? What games kids prefer to play? Etc.

But there is a way to get out of these demographic limitations. For example: social networks, with them you can know and connect with another people in relation to specific interest  such as musical prefers, specific topics that you are interested, etc. Age, genre, culture, and different stereotypes are not important in social networks.

Johanna think that is more important know to people in relation to things that they consider funny, and is important apply it in social media, because social media influences a lot in the people life.

I think that groups used to by social media are typecast in stereotypes too trivial…such as age, culture, genre, nationality, etc. Media companies believe that people are such as group in which they are typecast, but it is totally simplest, people shouldn’t reduce to typecast! “Women” or “young”, not all people think or feel identical… although having similar characteristics. Each person is different and special in their essence.

Hello Bloggers!

Today I’m going to talk about Facebook. Personally, I visit Facebook every day, but I don’t be dependent of this website. Generally, I visit facebook to talk with my friends, find out what has happened to them, see pictures, know about news, etc. I do it when I haven't else to do or when i'm bored, i don't visit facebook always that use the computer.

I think facebook has many advantages such as allowing you to communicate with people around all the world easy and freely, you can inform about what is happening with your friends,also would be used to organize events or groups homeworks for school or university, talk with old friends whom you have moved away, share pictures, etc. In summary, facilitates communication and transmission of information effectively. 

However, it also has disadvantages, such as lack of privacy when people share everything that happens in their lifes, especially when they share information such as addresses, or the numbers of their phones, etc. this can  be used to scam or rob those people. Also, some people don't know all the "friends" they have on facebook, and we all know that talking to strangers and especially the web, can be dangerous xD

However, I think that if people are careful with the information they share, facebook is harmless. Personally, i like to see the post of my friends and comment when something strikes me as funny, I like to share pictures about some moments with family or friends. I do it because I find it fun and it's good to keep contact with people that i don't see daily.

Hello!

Today, i will talk about the environment. It’s common to see on television or on social networks, news about how the environment is deteriorating more and more. Especially in any places of Chile such as Santiago that is home to many people, have many cars, companies that pollute, etc.

Although this topic is too known, there are very few people who do something to change the situation. Most people aren’t careful with the environment. I think that this is a cultural topic. Because Chile isn’t an ecological culture, this may be due to lack of information on where and how to recycle. There are some environmental organizations but very few, and although installed containers for recycling in the city, they aren’t used properly.

Personally, I haven’t contributed to the care of the environment. To transport me to college, I always use the bus (because it is far to walk, and I haven’t bike), but when I go to another place, I always try to do it walking.

I have never joined an eco-organization because I don’t know any, nor have I sought to inform me about them.

I don’t do much to care for the environment. But I try to reduce carbon footprint not using aerosols that damage the ozone layer, turning off and unplugging appliances that I’m not using, not throwing garbage anywhere, saving water, etc.

I think that to increase environmental awareness, should be more information about how to recycle, education about the correct use of containers (to recycle), and finally, is necessary the motivation of society to recycle.

Hello class

Today I am going talking about my future job. When I thought studying psychology, I imagined the typical clinical psychologist and his patients. But now, I not imagine working on it. The truth is that I will like to work helping people who have been victims of violent crimes, this also has to do with the repair to people (like clinical psychology) but within the legal field. I really think here psychology transformed into something much more meaningful and important, because in a field where usually, the focus is placed on the criminals, is important to take care and help victims.

If I think about my future job as psychologist, I imagine working in a support center for these victims.
Physically, I do not will like to work in an office, but rather outdoors, where people feel in a calmer and freer context, that is not feeling repressed as in an office.
Moreover, I would like to travel a lot to taught this area of psychology in other cities, as it is not applied a lot at other locations outside of Santiago (in the case of Chile), this would mean know this field of psychology  in another’s places of Chile,  and many more psychologists could devote to it.

Hello classmates!

This time I am going talking about my favorite writer; he is Pablo Neruda. Well, really I don`t have only one favorite writer, because I have always enjoyed reading all kind of books, and I like many writers. But I chose talk about Pablo Neruda because I have cute memories with his poems.

What I most like about Pablo Neruda is his form to writing and express love with the words. He is a romantic poet and he uses many metaphors to talk about love. I think that he is a genius and the best Chilean poet!

My favorite book by Neruda is a “Veinte poemas de amor y una canción desesperada”. I remember that when I was a child, my mom was reading many poems by Pablo Neruda, and I liked so much, especially one in particular; the “Poema veinte”.  This is a very romantic and nostalgic poem that talks about a love… a love that ends, and a broken despair heart. When I read, recite or heard it, I feel very sad.

Really l loved this poem! I remember when I was a child and recited “poema veinte” before bed, almost every day. Even now, this is my favorite poem.

Goodbye J

 Hi Classmates

Today, I will write about the best concert I have ever attended. That concert was at the Festival of Viña del Mar in February 2013. That time, I saw many artists such as Mana, Chino y Nacho  and a very boring comedian, but i don`t remeber her name.

I went to the  festival of Viña del Mar because my boyfriend invited me to see the show of Mana. Mana is a band that makes romantic and energetic music. Mana has fans of all ages, in many countries.

The atmosphere i could see during the concert was a romantic atmosphere, there were many couples, including, many people singing the songs, also, the band reminded the old songs, and the people really enjoy it.

My experience in this event was very good. I had never been to the  Festival of Viña del Mar, but I had always wanted to go, also, it was very cute to go with my boyfriend and see the show from an artist that we both liked. We enjoyed it so much an we set back another time.

Bye J

Hi Class!

In this opportunity i wish that you see this video about sexual abuse in childrens https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=teyhHR8J2DQ. As you can see in this video, the sexual abuse in childrens is too frequent in Chile and in all the world, and in generally, the rapist is part of the family or is someone very close o child.

In this situation the childrens  are feeling  so vulnerable, because they are confusing, they don`t understand the situación. The usually is that the family take care of a child, the family shouldn’t  hurt his son, nephew, grandchild, etc.

I think that this topic is very important for the psychology, in especially, legal psychology. The legal psychology have many areas, one of this be in charge of help to victim of sexual abuses or mighty crime. These experiences mark the life of the people that has been a victim. The idea is support and is help the victims to get over of the abuse situation and they can come back to the normal life, without psycological negative effect.

Bye!

Hi Class, 

In this post I will talk about the country that I really want visit. This country is India. 

I don’t know very much about India, but the last year I saw the TV programme about this country and I was facinated. I think that India have a very interesting culture, tracitions, people, food, etc.

Really If I had the chance of travelling, I would like visit India. But I wouldn’t visit India for study, or work, or live. I would visit India for learn about the culture of this country, for travelling in the differents Indian citys, and know diferent people that live in this beautiful country. I think that when you visit any place for work or study, you don’t have a lot free time for know about this country. And, if you travelling for live in any country, you could miss your, family, friends, home :( etc. For this, I think that going on holidays is a better idea.

Hi Class
today, I will talk about my blogging experience. Before to this class (English III) I never used Blog, because I think that my personal experience, hobbies, preferences, isn't interest for other people, my life isn't amazing.  Also, in my opinion, write about my life in the internet is spend time. I prefer do other activities as read books, see movies, go to any place; shopping center, park, theater, etc.
In this moment write in the blog is an activity for the university, I think that in this case is a good form to learn, however if I wouldn't in English class I wouldn't create the blog.

The positive aspect of write in the blog is that I have time for think about that I want say; different from oral evaluations, these evaluations are so difficult for me because I’m so nervous and forget all.

The negative aspect of write in the blog is that I find it hard arrange my ideas. I’m so unfocused.  As well as this I need more vocabulary, because always I need help by dictionary for translate the words that I want write.

As tool, I think that the blog is a good form to learn English because is funny activity, isn't so difficult and thanks to this I has remember any grammatical rules that I learned in the school but I forgot.

my friends

Hi class!

I can’t choose only one best friend, because I have 5 best friends, they are so different but each one has something in special for me.
In Coquimbo I have tree of they; Pia, Vale and Javi J.
I know to Vale since kinder garden, but in this time I hate her because she was so perfect, she had the best Barbie, etc. But, when we group up we know them more and we make friends. After, I know to Pia, when I was in third grade. With her we make friends immediately. And with javi we know about four years ago in EJE (young meeting in the spirit) in the school.
The past year I know to Lucía and Caro in the university, we make friends immediately, because we are so similar.

In this opportunity I will talk about one of they; Pia. I will talk about Pia because she is unconditional with me, she knows all about me, and I know all about her.

When she arrived to my school in third grade we knows and she was so friendly. Since this day we are best friends. We have many things in common as the love for the dance, we share the hobbies, we like the same things; we are so similar in the personality. But, however, we have differences; she is more sociable than me, she like go the party and she is more serious than me. I´m more shy that Pia, but I´m more “crazy” that her.
I like that we are similar and that we have many trust, because I always can count with her.
Now, I live in Santiago for this we don’t spend many time together, but we try of meet when I go to Coquimbo. In this moments we like go the shopping, eat out, go the partys, and talk, talk, and talk for hours J

We never had a problem, because both have calm and compressive personality.

I have many experiences that say; as our graduation; this was a nice moment, we laugh, talk and dance all the night.

I like learn

Hi Bloggers!

Today, I will talk about the things that I would like learn, this is difficult but are many things.

In general, I’m a person that like learn about many things, especially about art, I like visit arts galleries, see plays in the theater, visit museums, etc.  Like as my grandmother was saying: “I’m hungry to learn”.

In my life, I have taken part in many courses; cheerleaders, theater, scouts, art, Folk dance, etc. But all of this I left it half. This is my problem; I want learn all, but never finish it. Because I haven’t time, I’m interest in other activity, etc. I can’t concentrate in one thing.

The last activity that I practice was or is Arabian dance. Now I can’t practice Arabian dance all time because this academy is in Coquimbo, so I practice Arabian dance in the summer vacations.
One thing that I really would like learn is Tango J I like so much Tango because is a dance that have many passion, elegance and discipline. But I think is very difficult.

In this moment I’m not learning anything in specific. I’m learning about books, reading books of literature, practicing English (listening), nothing in special. This is my lazy time. I’m slept. But, when I return to Santiago city, I would take class about some technique to relax; Yoga, reiki, etc. or to be a part in some cultural activity, to learn by different people and as they think.

Hi class! In this opportunity, i will talk about my favorite place to eat out. This place is called “Pizza Mania” and is a restaurant of Italian Food, but especially of Pizza. Pizza Mania is localized in Avenida del Mar, in La Serena city.
In this place you can choose different exotic ingredients in your pizza. Personally, I prefer the traditional recipe of pizza, this is; tomato, olives, mozzarella cheese, and meat. I don’t like so much exotic flavors. Neverthless Pizza Mania has a great variety of ingredients and recipes for persons that like exotic flavors.
I like Pizza mania because as well as is delicious, is not expensive, the prices are reasonable. And the attention is very good and so speedy.
I don´t know many restaurants in Santiago, because, generally, I spend my free time traveling to Coquimbo. I know that in Santiago exist thousands of delicious restaurants, but when I am in Santiago is only for go to the university and study, study, study.
I love eat, maybe I should be more time in this city for visit the most delicious restaurants and different types of food; china food, fast food, Italian food, Mexican food, etc.
While, I’m enjoy with delicious pizzas by Pizza Mania :D

Hello dears Bloggers

Today, I will talk about my presentation in the last English class.
I told you about Music therapy, I chose it this topic because this is a different form of psychotherapy. I think that combine the psychology with other disciplines as art for make therapy is so interesting.
The structure of my presentation were include general aspects of psychotherapy; definition, origins, two techniques that use and the role of Music therapist.
If I might make it again, I might add more information about the authors that refer to music therapy or some references about results of this therapy in the different studies around the world.
I think that the most interesting part of music therapy is the original form of make therapy, the music have many benefits, one of them is recover the health of people.
In my opinion this topic may interesting for you because in general the people turn to traditional form of psychotherapy, but exist a lot forms of recover the health through of alternative therapy; equine therapy, psychodrama, etc. like this, music therapy is unknown therapy, and in my presentation I tried of facilitate that you know more about many and different form of therapy in the psychology.  

Hi bloggers,

I finished school two years ago. During the last 4 years at school I didn't know that study, because I want study acting, but this career haven’t labour field. Choose other career was too difficult, nevertheless I recalled that in the primary school I wanted study psychology.
I like psychology because is nice career, it can help to persons in many situation, at school, at work; recover the mental health, etc.  Besides this career reflect my abilities and I would complement it with the art.

As a professional I can help to develop of people in multiples areas, I can help to improve the life of persons, for example I would work on the marginal populations, where the people have many social and integration problems but they can’t pay the psychologist.

In my opinion the main tool will need a professional in the future is empathy, because is necessary understand that people think for help it. Besides is necessary others tools like as study so much, information, patience, and true vocation.

In this moment my favourite subject is psychopathology, because this approach to clinical psychology, this is that really like me.

When I was enter in this career I don’t know if I will in this. But now, although have little time studying psychology, I feel sure that I stand in this.

Hi bloggers,

I don’t have one favorite song, it depend of my mood. But, in this opportunity I chose so special song called “You’ll be in my heart” by Phill Collins, this song talk about mother’s love and come what may this love is unconditional. This song was created as soundtrack for the “Tarzan” Movie. I know that is too childish, but I love it so much. I was listened this song more or less twelve years ago, when I saw the “Tarzan” movie.Usually I listen to this song and I get nostalgic. Can be sound stupid, but this song reminds me of my mom. I remember when I was child and listen to this song, and thought in the mother’s and son’s love, and I don´t know why I thought that someday my mom wouldn’t be with me, and I got sad. I like this song because reminds me this old times, my childhood, and my mom. And still I get nostalgic and sad when I listen it. In this moment my mom live far from me, and I remember as thought when I was a child… Now, didn’t so different. I miss her all time, is too difficult leave your family suddenly.  However, as tell the song; the mother’s and son’s ties persist forever and far away.

Hello Bloggers,

Choose only one picture is so difficult because I find many pics important for me and nice memories. But, I chose a pic so special for me.

I took this photograph in the last day of summer vacations (on this year); I was with my boyfriend in “La Herradura” beach by Coquimbo city.

The image is simple; it shows part of our legs together, sand, ocean, some small boats, the third millennium cross in the background of image, and a beautiful twilight. Although this is not professional photograph, and the contents is simple, this photograph has an important emotional load for me, and I like so much because it is a nostalgic memory of too romantic moment.

I remember that I was so sad because must leave my house, my family, my friends, my boyfriend. But this day, I forgot all sad thoughts, and I pleasure the beautiful twilight. Nevertheless that was not goodbye, is only a momentary separation for the week, while I study in Santiago city.

This image symbolize the emotional moment, many feelings; a few sad, beautiful, a nostalgic, and a lot of love.

Hi
I have many ambitions for the future, but on this occasion I will refer only one.
I would be like a ballerina. I love the scene arts as theatre and dance, but I think that I don’t have a histrionic personality of the actors. For dance is not necessary this personality, for dance you need feel the music and forgive all around you.

When I was child, I dreaming with am the best ballerina of musicals. Now, this not changes. From this moment I don’t leave to dance, actually I practice Arabian dance.

I would be like a ballerina because the dance is so magic, is let move your body, feel the sound of music, and is beautiful express your feelings with your moves and expressions. I really love dance.
My principal inspirations are ballet ballerinas, and “Bafochi”.

Fulfill this ambition mean a dream. I would feel really happy and full. However, I know that is so difficult achieve this ambition in this country, because in Chile the art not yet so appreciate. 

I don’t use the internet many times; I visit the internet sometimes in my free time; in the afternoon or night, etc.  Generally one hour of day, no more.

I don’t like the internet, I’m not interested in this too much, I prefer read books, watch the movies, dance or listen to music. But, when I use the internet, I generally visit www.google.com website.

I discovered this website in the in the school around twelve years ago, this was a first website that I use for to learn about the internet.

I like this website because this is so useful, in this you can find that entire search about books, music, movies, university, news, recipes, etc. about all topics in the internet world!.

When I’m bored I can check this website and find interesting topics for read or funny games for play. When I need someone information or directions about different places like as banks, restaurants, companies, cinemas, etc. I can search in the Google website and find it. When I want know about news or I need make the homework, I can find it in Google, for this I visit this website regularly.
