Education?

I think that the privatization of the education is not a new issue on the Chilean educational system. In my opinion, I think those who are in the best universities are people who all his life studied in private schools, and they learn important elements to perform in the academy.

Unfortunately, the universities in Chile are different in relation to the quality of education they offer. For example, the traditional of the "Consejo de Rectores", have the best students, but these students come from private schools. In second, the private universities are not into "Consejo de Rectores", concentrated as many public school students, and their quality is lower because they have a low number of teachers and the equipment is precarious.

The privatization increasing in the final years, the public role of the universities is to provide opportunities for the poor students, only for this way everyone will have the same options to enter in the university. The performance of the students depend on the policies thinking about to the young people without money, but today this has to do with who invests more in education.

The Sebastián Piñera’s government include in the educational system only the best students and the education is a system that excludes and is not for all the people.

I’d like to visit…

Hello. I would like to visit a country that is very advanced in technology and its development is very important in the world economy. The country is China, a nation that has a high human growth. The development of its economy is very important and increases its technologies.

I ‘d like to know the culture of the past, the traditions about the Confucian religion, and the beautiful cities in that many people live. I want to visit this country for three years, because I like to see how the people can maintain their traditions when the technology progress.

I want to go to China with my friends who are interested in this subject, I think that my friends of university can go with me, because this country combines the old and modern world. I think that the feeding, clothes and the climate are more attractive than in Chile. At this moment I’m not savign money to go there.

My experience in the last semester

The things that I did in the last semester aren’t very exciting because my academic life would not let me do fun things, and I didn’t have much time to do what I wanted: sports.

Also, I hurt one leg, and this fact didn’t allow to practice my favorite sport: soccer. I put on weight, and my movements are very slow today. But the good thing of this fact is that it allowed me to study all the time the contents of my subjects, and my academic performance improved from that day until now.

I had time to study Sociology of Development, the Theory of Sociology, the Investigation about laboral conditions and the English program. I think that this semester is more difficult than the others, but my intelligence are increasing all the time (and my weight too).

Balance

My experience about the creation of this blog has been fantastic, because I think that the things that I learned in this course are new words and I have learned to read and to write with them.
But, I believe that nevertheless I have learned with this blog, this has not allowed me to improve in what I believe that it is the weakest part of my English learning: the pronunciation.

I think that the most important element of the English learning is to be able to read and write, and the pronunciation or conversation is something that he needs from a practical learning, but it should not be the most important thing. I believe that to write blogs, to read texts and study the English is more important than to be able to interact with a North American inhabitant.

I liked this experience because I can learn new words, the meaning of them makes me have a best vocabulary. Wittgenstein says that the limits of the language that we have are the limits of the world, because he thinks that if we know more languages, more we can understand the words and the things of other worlds. I think that if I had all my available time to learn the English, maybe I would have more options to reach new realities.

The ventajas of this experience they are the possibility of elaborating with criterion the texts, too it is possible to think what it is going to write to him, and this is something positive in relation to the oral language.

The disadvantages of the writing is that I have a little time to think what I will write, because since in Monday Julia send info of the topic and I have to have the text ready for the following day, and today I don't have Internet in my house. =(

A great businessman

In the experience of my life, when I was a child I thought of being a comercial engineer, because I believed in the economic growth, in the development of the society, but I never believed on the free market (Adam Smith is a boring person). I think if I were a commercial engineer maybe I talk about business, how to generate macroeconomics profits, and I think of how to insert the chile in the international economy.

But I started to think about the persons that they couldn’t be a part of the growth of the economy. From that moment i worried for the persons those who are not it departs from the growth. Also of the environment from which I come: My family (the experience of my life has changed my opinion about what I want to be) and my city are poor in economy, society and the culture is low.

I started believing that the study of the problems of the society is possible and I had money to studying tools as transform it. Then, I stopped thinking about the economy and I try to apply what I learn for to help whom need me. But it has been a difficult way because the study is not what there do the people of my city: they work all the days, and to studying is a privilege.

I think that my parents had expected me to be a great businessman, because they want me to have another life, and I can make money and help them survive. But they have allowed me to study what they I want and they pretends to me be happy!

VAMOS CHILE MAÑANA A GANAR!

Us and them

Hello

I think that the topic I will write about today is easy to explain, but I don’t like talk about it, nevertheless this one is a pretty souvenir of my infancy. In the photo, I am the one that is laughing and with a crown in my head, in this time it was celebrating my 8 years of age, and I appear together with my 3 brothers.

It makes me happy on having seen that we are all together, enjoying in the company of other friends and relatives, of one agreeable and entertaining moment. In those years I was living in Curico. When I see the picture, I remember with sorrow what some years ago it was doing: I was living with my brothers and my parents, and I saw them all the day and all the night. It had a pet and was living in a calm place. I was studying in a college that wasn’t good but that was teaching more of the life that of the instrumental things.

Today already I don’t live of this way. I believe that the things have changed and my life has become more rational and less interesting. 10 years ago my father took this picture, and preserved it for the family. He waits every day of his life to meet again in harmony, but it is not possible that this happens because the work there has made us being other persons.

But the photo is a recollection of what at some time we were, and I do not know if maybe in the future we will return to find, maybe I present the image because I have the illusion to return to find all together as a family.

Bielsa, follow your mechanical!!!

Chile in World Cup

Hello!
It's time to start talking about one of my favorite topics, it is the participation of chilean team in World Cup. I think that the Chilean team fought with all weapons to get the classification to the second round, but the way is very complicated.

In general, because the opponents in the3 first games are teams who characterized by his technique and speed. Spain, has a game based on the intelligence of his midfielders, for example Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets, Xavi Alonso, Cesc and Silva, those that they created all the time passes for his forwards, and provoking that Villa (Valencia, Spain) and Fernando “er niño” Torres (Liverpool F.C., England) in a profitable position.

Switzerland, I think that it’s a rival with speed, his forwards play in constant movement and don’ t leave the defenders alone. Barnetta (Bayern Leverkusen, Germany), Hakan Yakin and Frei: they can surprise at any time. Honduras, a country with that Chile begins his participation in the championship, it’s that of worse. They aren’t the most intelligent players on the court but his advantage is his strength and his “pachorra”.

But the conditions of the players of Chile don’t have limits. Marcelo Bielsa orders that his players in a strategic form to the players, for example, they are allowed to move with speed and synchronized form along the playground. I hope that these boys don’t give juice. My ideal team that I think that Bielsa must use in the world cup is: 1- Bravo; 2- Ponce; 8- Vidal; 17- Medel; 6- Carmona; 4-Isla; 13-Estrada; 10-Valdivia; 15-Beausejour; 7-Sanchez; 9-Suazo.

Viva Chile!
A morir!
