Green

Today I´m going to talk about one interesting topic. It´s all about be green. In general I try to be very honest and I need to say that I not be a really green person, basically for ignorance more than anything, but for all what happens today in our actually world, I consider very important become in an eco- friendly person, because we live in a period of the time when the global warming issue and all the several pollution problems are destroying the planet, our home, so we should be more eco -friendly with urgency. If we want to take care the place where we live, all the people need change the habits and be greener and concern about our world. Today I think it´s very important and relevant incorporate habits of recycling, I live in Ñuñoa and in this suburb of Santiago exist some recycle culture , for example all the Mondays you can take out the rubbish that can be used for recycling. Actually gradually I become in a person more interesting in my environment, because I have a son, so I think it´s my absolute responsibility be greener for leave a better world to him. I think it´s a great idea be a part of some organization who cares about this important subject, I would feel so great and useful if I have the opportunity for participated in some like that, but honesty I don’t have any clue about where there is one community organization in my suburb about this. I need to search one organization urgently. See you the next class.

Montessori method of teaching

Today I´m going to talk about one of the methods for teaching more interesting for me. This method for teaching was created by an Italian woman called Maria Montessori, she was the first female doctor to her country and she revolutionized the education area with her method. Also she was a physician and educator, for this reason all her live investigated the children’s mind and finally created this education system. Her method today is in use, because it´s really effective and innovative, this education it´s a constructivist model, than help to the infants to explore his environment and building a significant learning for them, this is a really brilliant method because respects all the child´s natural stages of development, and not use the force for learning contrary to the most used approach today, the behaviorism. Sadly it´s not very popular for the people because is some expensive for the most of the countries accustomed to the traditional and boring education system designed so many time ago and very obsoleted according to the needs of the children in this century . It´s not so popular because this method need a trained Montessori educator and specific instruments or toys designed especially for this exclusive method, not any pedagogical instrument can´t be used . This it´s so terrible and alarming because all the children in the world need a greats education system than help them in all the areas to the life, and an education according to the present century and their needs.

It´s so simple and easy make pizza. For this reason my son and I enjoyed very much the moment when we cook, because he participated actively in the preparation and he having fun too.

I hope the pizza will be very delicious, and I expect than Chile wins today. See you the next class. Bye

My pearls earrings

In my life I received a very different kind of gifts or presents so it´s very difficult for me choose one but thinking very much I think that I Have a favorite one for the emotional value because my parents gave me this present in my childhood . In this moment I didn't like very much, but with the pass of the time I loved my present so much. The present that I choose are pearl earrings, which they gave me in the Christmas when I was a teenager. I opened and I supposed that earrings are too expensive and fancy to be worn by a young teenager but later I understood the symbolism to the gift, for them this presents represents that I had not considerate a child anymore and they saw me like a young lady and not a kid anymore, so I felt very happy and proud for myself because they talked to me and they said who proud they felt, and they considerate me a responsible young woman capable to worn this values earrings. Now In the present I love my pearl earrings and in the future if I had a daughter I would give my precious present to her too.

Fiestas Patrias

In this opportunity I talk about the “fiestas patrias” In my country we celebrate these traditional date because it´s the celebration of the first Government junta who proclaimed Chile as an independent republic finally separated of the Spanish monarchy. For this reason my country celebrates his national day on 18 September. The people around the country have different ways to celebrate, but in general we´re going to the “ fondas” o “ ramadas” , both are a kind of party who people goes for dancing , and eat typical dishes , for example pasty, meat in sticks, corn cake, and drink the typical liquor the international famous wine, and other types of wine, for example the “chicha “ or the “ pipeño”. In this year I went to the Ines de Suarez park, who had a different stand full of crafts , very different foods and typically outfit for sale, and a stands for typical activities like rayuela , also they had a children’s area, very good for me because I have a child so it’s very great and funny to see our kid happy and having fun. Besides I ate very much pasty and other delicious things. In general I enjoyed this celebration very much because I brought all my family together and the atmosphere was full of joy.

September 11th

This date it´s very important for our country because It´s a day very sad and historically important. Before 42 years ago in Chile armed force attack to the "Unidad Popular" government to the president Salvador Allende , and the military’s take the control to Chile for the force. To many people dead this day and it´s the end of a really good idea of government, who end with this military control. I feel very sad for this thing happened because the civil resistance lost a battle and the country never was the same after this horrible date, before this date the dictator Augusto Pinochet and the military government take the absolute control , and kill a lot of innocent people only for have a different political ideas. He hunt all the people who considerate inappropriate for him so the people live with a lot of afraid and fear, because he and his aliases torture very hard to an innocent citizens and put they in a concentration camps in horrible conditions like a prisioners. The Pinochet government was horrible because he violated all the possible human rights, these act of violence and cruelty never been justified, and all the responsible persons need to pay for this crimes , it´s very fair complain about the awful success happened in the past , some people today are very angry about all this. The state of Chile must deal without any compassion to all the abhorrent people responsible for these crimes, because we need to the killers who still alive pay with life imprisoned in a real awful jail. For me of course than the theme it´s not outdated because the criminals never pay for the crimes, and the people who been affected it´s still angry and of course really hurt, they need and all the society needs justice and peace in our country, and unfortunately if still have a group of persons who defend the dictator and his government we never be a united and peaceful country. This date affect the life of people who lives in the country because the atmospheres turn different, exist a lot of fear in the citizens to the September 11th because the police go out to the streets for repress all the possible manifestations of people and otherwise exist a group or persons who produced act of unjustified violence and disorder in the streets as a protest. In my particular case I live near the University so the landscape sometimes it´s very chaotic, because the streets are all full of police forces and they repress all the students whogo out to protest.

Egypt

Since I was a little girl , I always dreamed with travel to this gorgeous country. My mom when I was a child , she bought me a lot of books , and cd rooms with a lot of information relationed with this place. I love all the pictures who showed these amazings books, I learned about all kind of information about this contry, for example the huge civilization who been in the past , and all the mistique who involved this history it´s too much interesting for be ignored. I need to go in the future, because I need to see with my own eyes the great pyramid of Giza, the Sfinx, The Nile river, and visit other places for exaple the city of the dead in Cairo and I will go to the museums, but especially to the most importantly for my , the egyptian museum in Cairo, because there contains the world's most extensive collection of egyptian antiquities, and the most important thing , in this museum it be the gold mask of Tutankhamun, the popular icon of the ancient Egypt , and we found a lot of others importants antiques , especially pharaonic antiques. I love all this old civilization, I dreamed with go to this country and I hope one day will be visit this place. But only for visit because I think Egypt society today it´s all of violence and inestability, they have a lot of intern conflict, and these things are not safe for the people who lives there for all the instability.
