the country I'd like to visit

In this ocation I'll write about the country that I would like to visit: ITALY. 

The first reason is because I think this culture has made a big contribution to the world history in subjects like: arts, religion, politic, especially in laws.

I would like to meet the roman Colosseum,  to meet Venecia and to eat the truth Italian pizza too. To walk toward  to one fountain and make a wish.

I would like to meet this country too, because is the place where was born Maria Montessori and her innovative educational methodology.  This methodology interest me, because is a one methodology that have like center the child and the work focused on the interests and needs of each children. and the teaching school materials are wonderful.

 I would like to visit Italy, to meet, to study and to learn  more about this methodology.

The principal reason to visit this country, to me, is to visit the opera Montessori. If I had enough money I would travel to Italy right now.

First term: the good and bad

My name is Paulina  I’m 21 years old, I’m studying Education I’m in the fourth  year, and I  like so much that I’m studying because I believe  that   through education we can change the world.

I’m  from Doñihue , it is a pleasant and beautiful place. I like listen to music and go to walk to the hill after had rained.

I think that the good happened the last term was that I approved all subjects and there aren’t protests. I had the best subject of the world: MATH with the best teachers: Jorge and Gina. I liked so much, (I would like be math teacher), I learned many activities to do with the children at the school, I learned how to work with the Japanese, Chinese and the Korean abacus, and how to work with the binary system. I make my practice in the good school, where I learned so much of all children… and I don’t remember anything bad of the last semester.

Well… really I must admit that I find it hard so much to learn English and that I hate having to get up early in the morning to go at the university to write a blog, I had fun so much writing the blog. En lo personal I hate de English, but to write in English about what oneself like it or interesting, quite very significant, although sometimes had topics that I didn’t interesting to me, but the same way had to write some (and I was the people that had fighting whit the topics) but helped to me to learn more words in English.

I would like that the post have been feedback from the teacher to can see what was bad o what was good write, because sometimes  the translations made was literals and maybe not necessarily express what I want to say.

One the advantage of the blog is that we allows development of writing and feely expression about of the topics that we interest and also was funny.

The disadvantage how I said before is that I didn’t receive feedback and I didn’t know what was bad or good, other disadvantage to me was I didn’t like to write the others class mate because I didn’t know them and I feel embarrassed to write them with out to know them, but seeing it otherwise it could be a advantage to know more we as classmate.

I would like to thank Alvaro for all the patience you had with me, and for stand me for second time in your English class, because I never shut up and I really I don’t know how stand me.

Alvaro you made that the English class was more fun, you are very nice and again thank you so much for stand me. You are the best teacher ( although I still don't like English).

Books

My favorite book is Cien años de Soledad writes by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, a Colombian writer.  He had write many books like Relatos de un naufrago, Crónicas de una muerte  anunciada, El coronel no tiene quien le escriba in others. (I have read most of his books)

 Really I don´t chose the book, I read the book because tell me in the high school. At the first I didn’t like it because I couldn’t understand it; I confounded the character of the story because almost all they have the same name, but when I continued read I love it!!

I don’t remember if I bought it in the street, or if lend it me and I never give back to the person. I never give back the books that lend me; least if is a book of Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

This novel belongs to the literary genre magical realism. A mixture of reality of the everyday world and a little magic. Cien años de Soledad is a novel about a man called Jose Arcadio Buendía, her wife Ursula Iguarán and all their family.

Is a story very interesting and very entertaining. Tells the story about how Jose y Ursula founded the town of Macondo, how their familily grew and how with the time eventually disappeared without leaving any descendant.  

In general I like all the books that the autor had write, but I like more Cien años de soledad , because was the first book that I read and I loved it the story and especially the character Melquíades, the gypsy, how was all the novelties of the world to the region, novelties like flying carpets, crystal balls, etc.

The photograph I like the most

This picture I like because in it there shown who were my best friends, when I was in the high school in 4^th grade. They were very special for me because with then I did all my homework, we met at the breaks, we met in our homes, we went for a walk,  we went to the mall to eat, for a ice cream, and though sometimes we discussed, and we don’t talked for a time always came back to be friends.

This picture shows to Gabriela and Ernesto, with them, we joked all the day, we laughed at everybody, even teachers and their way of being, we laughed at our classmate too, we said jokes about all the people, even from ourselves. I had a good time in the school with them I, felt that the class day was shorter. They made that the class were more entertaining.

This picture I like because I make me reminds the good times we lived in the high school, with them I really enjoyed, they were with me when I most needed it, them supported me, give me advice, and made me laugh, they laughed at me and I at them, we had a very good. We were the best friends of the world.

Currently  we aren’t friends, because  we went to university and  now we don’t see, sometimes  we meet with Ernesto on the bus and with Gabriela we speak by msn o facebook.

This picture was taken in the classroom, the last day of class in the high school, in November 2008, this day we took many pictures, this picture was took by a classmate.

I think the best day of my life was the day when I saw the marks of PSU in internet, was near Christmas in 2008. I was very nervous I didn’t know my score and I was afraid to take less than 600 points. Were 00:00 hrs and the page doesn’t load, had collapsed!!!, I couldn’t see my score.

When I can see the page, and I saw my score, I couldn’t believe it !!! I reached more than 600 points I could apply to the university that I wanted, but there was another problem, but that doesn’t mean that I could stay in the university. I apply to the university and I had to wait again the results. Again I was very nervous I felt it was the worst thing if I couldn’t stay in the university.

I know the results days before my birthday, I can’t believe it !!! I had been selected to enter at the university, I was very very happy!!!; really I don’t believe that I can do it.

My family can’t believe, they told me that I don’t could enter at the university; also they told me that there wasn’t money to found the university. I was very sad because I don’t know what to do, I had to pass the tests, I had to stay at the university but in my home everyone told me that I couldn’t to go at the university because it was very expensive. But I have credit and I could go to study. I was very happy!!!

My favourite piece of technology.

 My favourite piece of technology is my laptop. The first laptop was created in 1981 Epson HX-20.  The laptop is a portable computer, that don’t weigh much (between 1 kg- 3 kg), and is very easy to carry.

I have my laptop since 2009 when I arrive at the university. I use it every day when I arrive home after the university and when I’m bored and I don’t anything else to do. I like because in my laptop y can listen to music, to watch movies, watch videos, search information, do my homework, store information, and that I like so much is that I can chat whit my friends, I can use wherever, is very easy carry it, don’t need much space and don’t need connected to electricity because it have a battery that about 3 hours.

I don’t like about the laptop is, that without Internet I can’t do so much, because in internet is all the information, is very necessary have internet to be connected.

My life without it, would so different, because whit my laptop I can be connected, and I can do my homework on line with my classmate, without having to leave home, and I can download books, without having to go to the library.
