V-Blog. "The house seller"

No, no, no.

A place where a wouldn't like to live is in New York. I think is too much city for me.
There are too much buildings a no color in street. I know it is one of the biggest city in US, but I would live there only if I had a job in that city.
Almost all the ads I saw, didn't like me, all the apartments were like cold and dark and, the apartment I saw, has brick walls and high ceilings, I think it is not a warm place to to spend the cold winter.
This is the apartment I saw.

Im really impresed about the video, it's amazing what a group of concern and hardworking people can do for change the education of a neighborhood.
I think that this guy has right, because here in Chile is the same problem, teachers are not taking the enough time to teach their students, therefore, the edcuation is not personal.
The students want to learn however in schools there are not enough time to dedicate to them, in a personal way, so they don't have the enogh time to learn.
I think that this kind of ideas are very good, because it is probed that when a student is in a comfortable place, the learning is more efficient, I mean that the student learn fastly and they keep in mind the concents that they have learn.
The education here in Chile needs people like that, who hanker a better society and not people who makes their "job" just for money,because, to be honest, here the people makes their job just for money, and not because they want to improved the society.We should have group like that and give the students the personal education that they deserved, after all, the students are the future of the society.

Mistakes

I think that I and my classmates make a lot of basic mistakes.
Sometimes are mitakes that results even funny.
First what happened often is that we are writting in past, and then we write in present, we should write and follow the past tense or the present.
Other mistake is when we don't change the verb when we talk in 3th person.
There are things that we know by heart, but for some reason we keep doing it.
Other mistake, is that sometimes we don't know too much concepts, and we don't know how to explain what we want to say, so we write confusedly, and the paper, the post, etc, is not so clared.
The other common mistake is that sometimes we confused the past participle, or the past simple, or the present continous, when we want to talk in these times, we do not know how to expressed
These in my personal opinion, that are some common mistakes that we make.

Motivation

I'm agree whit the most of the point that the author gives in the article.
Just in one point when referred about the reward. He said that in some cases (the weaker students) can be demotivating, because they are unable to do an activity or they don't can do it all. But I think that a teacher can give a reward to a weaker student if he/she did part of the activity, it is not nessesary that they do all the work, because the teacher knows that it is hard for them try to d all the work, so we must to reward them if they make an effort.

It is true that teachers only makes the motivation in the students decrease , because they doesn't pay attention to the things that could be happened whit the kid (feelings, emotion, fears).However, when the student adops a rebellious behaviour, teacher punished them, and this demotivating the students.
Also when the author referred to the self-esteem, is an importan task, and I think that motivation start by this point, if a student is has a lack of self-confident the teachers has to increase it because the motivation begins at home, so if teacher promote the self- esteem in the students, the child will adops another position and not the rebellious.

In my opinion the most of the schools in Chile do not care for the life of the children, i mean their thoughts, their feelings, their fears. They just want the student gets good results, to put the school in a better categorie, and they does't care too much about the learning of the kids. Is for that reason that Chile has a poor education, and there is a high percentage of children do not reach college.
Class must be more dinamic, and the teachers have to investigate which is the proper way to do activities, and to involve the different abilities of the differents students in the classroom, bacause, we are not all the same person.

The safety of our neighborhood!!

Dear Mr. Raul Alcaino:
I am Camila Diaz a english pedagogy's student and I write you this letter to let you know, about a issue that has become so important for us.
I live in a neighborhood (Fray Camilo Henrriquez) wich has become very dangerous with the time.
A lot of people has been robbed so many times in this street, people who arrive to their homes late because of work, they have to suffer the bad acts of a few youngs.
This evil group have been scared to the people of this neighborhood, since a couple of months, and is unacceptable that we have to feel afraid when we walk to our home.
We had a meeting last night and we are agree that the neighborhood is very dark, and we think that we need more public illumination.
We think too that, we have to have more police control, because we never see cops around here.
We hope that with this things our neighborhood becomes in a safe place to live.
An we also hope that you can help us to regularize our situation.
Waiting your answer, I cordially dismissed

Camila Fernanda Diaz Vilches.

Spit in the street?? No way!

One day i was walking in the street, i don't remember where I went, but I was in a public place, with a lot of people around.
Suddenly a guy passed in front of me, and he made a disgusting noise with his mouth, it seemed to come from his throat, and then he spat on the sidewalk. I think what the guy did, upset the people around because they looked at the guy very angry.
For me, that guy doesn't have goods manners, is acceptable when you get a cold, well, all we now what we feel when when we get a cold, you need to have a handkerchief close, but it is not necessary to make an disgusting noise andp spit in front of all people.

Bullying

Hogg, Chris "School bullying in Japan" BBC,15 November, 2006: 1 page

This is a very important problem in the schools, actually it's very common to find cases of children who have been teased by his/her classmates. The question that it doesn't have an answer is: who is the responsible?.

In my opinion headteachers, and teachers, don't think that this is a big problem inside their schools. When there are some case of Bullying in their school, they think that is only an inoffensive play of children, and it doesn't care so much about it. They discover the consequences of this act when the children who have been teased or exort, take the extreme decision of killed themselves.
Here in Chile happened a case of bullying, of a girl who was teased for her classmates by internet. They write bad things about her, they hit her at the school. The most incredible was that the mother of this girl went to the school, and talked with the headteacher, about the problem. They said that it was just a children game, nothing so important. After a few days the girl take the decision of kill herself.

A little about me!!

Hi!!
As already you know mi name is Camila i'm 20 years old and in this introduccion i'm going to write a little about me.
First I want to explain why the name of my blogg.
I had a friend Felipe was his name, who used to call me "Kamilu". Unfortunately, he's not here with me anymore, but I have a lot of beautiful memories about him. And I Always remember him with a big happiness.Besides he taught me an important piece of advice.
I always have been a girl who likes share and know people, for example, when I'm in a party I always finish talking with new people and making new friends, that's how people knows me, like the smiley girl who talks with everybody.

For that reason I think that I have a lot of friends around me, trustful and reliable people, and I know that they are going to be with me at any time and any moment.

But before of Felipe's death, I didn't value the people around me, I mean my friends, my family, and people who I didn't have a friendship.
Felipe tought me that we have to share with ours people, ours friends, our family, because they have a place in your life, and you never know when they are not going to be with you anymore.
Maybe this seems to be a little sad, but no, I'm glad to have had a friend like Felipe, and I know that he's always here with me, trying to guide mi in the right direction.
And now I try to enjoy the people who I love, and enjoy the day like if was the last one.
