Hi classmates and teacher! I’m here to write about my blogging experience and about the semester too.

This was my first blog ever, and I like so much this experience, I think the experience of blogs and write posts every week was very funny, with this I know things of my classmates I never hear before, and I write some things I never tell before…

This was a very cool way to learn and practice English, because you do not see the learning like a boring class, with books or talking about boring topics, here with the blog we write about topics we choose (in general). In addition, the teacher’s was very arranged to resolve our questions with the writing process and has so much patience with our mistakes.

I hope in the next semester has again an experience so good like this semester. I probably miss so much the blogging activities and the funny activities of every week. I do not see any disadvantage about blogging in the English class, I think this is a perfect way to learning, improve and practice the English. In resume was a very good semester and class.

Greetings for all, and see you soon!

An animal I like is the deer, because is a very discreet animal, very stealthy. The species of Central and South America lives in the dense forests and are less often seen in open spaces, but the major quantity of  large deer species are concentrated in the Canadian  Rocky Mountain and Columbia Mountain.

I love the antlers of these animals. All male deer have antlers, with the exception of the Chinese Water Deer which have tusks. Their appearance is very calm, quiet and peaceful, but their antlers show how much stronger are.

In mythology, the deer is associated, for example in the Greek mythology, with Artemis (in her rol as virginal huntress). In Hindu mythology, the goddess Saraswati takes the form of a red deer. And many others cultures relate the deer with their gods and qualities.

I´ve only seen the deer in the zoo a few times, but I really want some day travel and take some pictures live and direct and observe for hours their subtlety and stealth.

I think sometimes that we, the humans have so much for learn of the animals. Each animal has a great quality and we, the humans, are going to a life so empty and superficial… We need come back into the wild.  

The area of the psychology that I like is the educational. So, my future plan, when I leave the university, Is find a job and become independent, find the possibility of work with children, in a school, or any organization, with the possibility of take care of their learning process, because for me this is the most important age in the development.

My idea is go out of Santiago after of save on money sufficient to bought a house, or an apartment, in a place in the south of Chile, like Villarrica o Chiloé, establish me there, with a good job, help the people, create an organization to work with the needy childrens and their families, to support them, above everything, in their education, and affective development.

 With these objective achieved I would like raise a big family (with many childrens) there, because I was raised in a place very quiet, a rural area, and I still reminding how cool was those years, those winters, those summers, that air.

I still seeing so far that dream, but for sure, I am still working for that.  

Bernard Weiner

Weiner is a cognitive psychologist born in 1935, he is known for developing a form of attribution theory, which explains the motivational and emotional entailments of academic success and failure, the attributions are related  with the motivation and can affect the behavior of the people, their strategy and their social relationships. He is an academic of the University of California, in Los Angeles.

Bernard Weiner reformulated the Heider’s theory, adding two aspects or dimensions, the controllable and the uncontrollable causes. In the controllable causes, the bigger the control in the learning process, the more the expectations can be and the higher the motivation to make an effort to learn, and in the case of the uncontrollable causes he says that in those causes is impossible to work.

I like this author because I think the education is very important in the life of the people, I think that the motivation is a very significant aspect in the learning process, because we need to have the interest for apprehend the knowledge. 

This photo is not one of my favourites, and I do not know who took it, because I was very little… It is probable that this picture had been taken by an aunt, in the country side, near Lago Rapel, around 1994, I do not know…

This picture makes me remember when i was a child and how pampered I was by my grandmother, how big  this house was, how many animals my grandmother had there … Very nice memories of this country house, all my big family was united there for the summer holidays… my cousins and I usually went to collect corncob, berries, eggs…  In the breakfast, my grandmother gave us fresh milk and cheese of their cows, very early in the morning… she was very good at making food, like empanadas, humitas, corncob cake and handmade bread.

How many memories! It makes me feel very nostalgic…

Cheers!

Hi classmates! Today I’m here to tell which is my favorite movie. The movie is “Into The Wild”, the film was road in 2007, directed by Sean Penn, the stars of the film are Emile Hirsh (Chris McCandless in the movie), Marcia Gay Harden, Wiliam Hurt, Jena Malone, Kristen Stewart, and others.

The movie is based in the book with the same name, write by Jon Krakauer, the movie shows the life of a student, after graduate from Emory University decide leave all the material things of his life, and start a travel into the wild. The final is not what Chris hope…

I like this movie because is a very strong history, and my way of see the world has changed after the movie (also I read the book). So, I always recommends this movie to everyone who wants see a very good movie and keep thinking about that.

Cheers!

My favourite piece of technology


Hi classmates, 

My favourite piece of technology is the smartphone.
I had my first cellphone when I was 13 years old, but I bought my first smartphone when I have 18.

Currently, I used the smartphone every day and never go out of home without my smartphone; I can go out without my money, shoes, or anything, but never without my smartphone.

I like it because it contains all my contacts, photos, social networks, university mails, books, games and music, a lot of music. You never get bored if your smartphone goes with you! I do not know how difficult life would be without a smartphone… okay, I am exaggerating a little, but anyway a smartphone simplifies the life, that is undeniable. Tell me that’s false!  

All it sounds like I was an addict to the smartphone, but it is not real, I know when I can’t use it, for example, in a date, in class, with my friends, I think that annoys others.


Cheers! :D
