How Green Are You?

Taking care of our environment is a very important topic, but I think the recycling, friendly practices, participation in eco-organizations and being green persons are not the most important or   the essential problems. The global warming is not our direct fault, the global industry and their different aspects like raw material exploitation, massive production, transnational markets, etc are the principal guilty persons. If we really involve with our planet, our principal objective needs to be ours governments, our boss and mainly the owners of capital.

Obviously we need to do something now and stop the global warming. Never forget our principal objective but we need change our habits. I think use the bike is a very positive habit, you can travel around the city without cars or public transport that contaminate a lot and the most important you make exercise and have a health life. 

One of the most important changes we can do to make some different and help the planet it’s be a vegetarian person. The food industry is the most important, cruel and contaminating market. The only thing you need to do is stop eat animals and the most important, junk food.  

Vacations

The vacations  will not be important if our jobs and studies were not  so stressful,  and the only way to travel and relax are the vacacions. We are consumed by ours jobs and we can`t live our lives normally. That`s what i think the meaning of “vacations” is terrible, but today is the only possibility to escape and gain more energy  for the   coming  year.

Since I was eighteen years old   I have taken my bag every summer and traveled arround Latin America. This year I`ll  be backpacking arround the north of Argentina, i like to visit San Miguel de Tucuman and Salta, then i`ll cross the fronteir and arrive at Asuncion, Paraguay. 

Always I travel I hitching and camp on a lot of places, I think this way to travel is the best  because you can know a lot a of people and share their culture.  When I`ll be there I would like to visit Iguazu and the Chaco area. Paraguay have a lot of beautiful places, like rivers, wilderness areas and a great history of their ancient cultures.

I`d like to leave Chile as soon as posible to use the time wisely, because we didn`t have much vacation’s time on February.   

Raise limit on infant class sizes in primary schools

The article was about the need to increase the limit of infant class size.

In 1998 was legislated that the limit of infant class size was 30 pupils, but government digits shows that in 2015 more than 450.000 primary pupils will need places in England.

All this because after a councilor states that his local authority had spend £274,000 just to hire extra teachers so they can keep their classes below the legal threshold.

The Idea is to increase the 30 number to 32. Liberal Democrat councilor Simon Shaw said : "Surely a common-sense solution is to change the law so that schools have the flexibility to go up to 32 children in an infant class, if they wish, but only so long as they have a qualified, full-time teaching assistant as well as a teacher."

A spokeswoman of education department said that the government wasn’t thinking to increase the pupils because parents wouldn’t want their children been taught in a huge class.

However A spokesman for Sefton council – the Sefton council on Merseyside has spend extra money hiring extra teacher for just eight extra pupils in the past two years- said: “The rules relating to infant class sizes are part of national legislation and affect schools in all local authority areas."

Movies

In human history many movies are an important landmark. In Natzy Germany movies were  used to educate people in national values, then the idea to provoke something into the persons was copied arround the world. Today we have a gigant world movie industry, and thousand and thousand million dollars move that industry. We have diffrent kinds of directors, actors, actresses, producers, writers, etc. Also if you don`t like one kind of movie you have many types of  movies: drama movies, horror, comedies, romantic movies, shotcuts, documentaries, etc. I like drama movies because they usualy talk about people and the relation among them. Also i like documentaries related with the social problems and social uprising. One of my favourite movies is 21 Grams, its a very intresting movie because talk about the life and the important of that to own and other people. The last movie what i saw is Celda 211 an Spanish movie who related a riot in a prision, i really like this movie because it have an interesting actors and character.

Paraguay

Like every February I’m going to backpacking, this time my destination is Paraguay so that makes it the next place I want to visit.

I don’t know many things about Paraguay and that’s one of the reasons why I want to visit this country.  One of the few things I know is that is known because Iguazu Falls I also know that limited with Argentina on the south, the east by Brazil and Bolivia to the northwest.

I intend with this trip to know how people live there, what kind of food they eat, in simply words know the life style of Paraguayans.

I don’t know if I’m going to travel alone or with a friend but anyway I would like to know a lot of people there because I think it’s interesting to know the different cultures and how they affect in the personalities of people.

So wish me luck!

Express Term

I’m not agree with this new and strange term, I don’t think is good for us (students) and for the teachers because is difficult to see all the content of the different subjects. A lot of content get lost in the way because there is no time to see it.

Also it’s too much to learn in a short time, not all the things are learned well, there is no meaningful learning, so most of the things will be forgotten.

In my case and the case of my fourth-year fellows we have to make the practice in a short SHORT time so  it’s not a good practice because  is not possible to establish a connection with the children, so it’s not a significant practice for us or for children.

They only do this term to get a fast product.

My Favorite place!

My favorite place is my Rancagua’s house because my family and my friends live there, also my two dogs are there, Ali and Juisa, I really like animals, I love to play with them. Juisa has sixteen years old so I have it since I was like 12 years old it’s my pampered dog, I like to spend a little of my time playing with them.

I like  Rancagua because every time I go there my Mom and my grandmother spoiled me with a lot of vegetarian food, every time a I go I end up eating delicious food.

Also my friends from my childhood live there, so when I travel we like to get together and play computer games, or just hung out.

So I think it’s my favorite place because I have always live there until I came to Santiago to Study.

I don’t travel a lot because I have a lot of things to do here in Santiago, so I only travel like two times a month but in summer I spend most of January there because every February I go backpacking to different places.
