...Final Session...

Always it is good, and people recommend to make a self-evaluation about the events of the semester, or year. In this case I write, in especially, about my academic year. This is not easy for me, because not only I have than to think about the good. I also have to remember the bad, and that wants say, than I will have to look well it than do not like me. Anyway, I tell you about what happened to me in the university in relation to three topics: "the subject, the pedagogical practice, and the friends".

The first, it is about subject, the true is than this year I have had more subjects in comparison with previous term. Then, these months have been more difficult, because I had and still have problems with the time. I have had a timetable more extensive, the classes starts early and finishs very late, and I arrive to my home very tired, but I have to make jobs or I have to study because now I have more responsibilities than fulfill. Y as well, if I use more time for university, I have less free time.

Secundly, this year the pedagogical practice has been different, because next year I should do professional practice, then these two halves were examples of what will happen to future. This experience in the classroom, it used for ask if Do I want to do this in the future? or I want to be a teacher?very important questions are for my, because his response confirms if I can be or not a teacher and make classes. It was a practice decisive.

As I said before, this year I spend many hours of day in the university. Time don’t used only of study, also it serves to share with my friends. We have had more opportunity to be together, and the friendship is to grow day to day.

To sum up, maybe this year was more complicated by the number of academic hours and subjects. And I had things to do, but also I learned more than ever. I had more opportunities to learn, for example: because it was the right time to unite theory with practice, because it is the last year of university, and I could connect new learning with previous, and because of the friends you also can to learn.

…About music…..

The truth is that, now it’s very difficult for me to talk about music, because Ihave many things to say abut this topic, and I only have to use 300 words. I could start by saying than It’s not just that I like music, I love music!.

I might start by saying that the main reason that I have to like music is because I love to dance. When I'm stressed, and I want some relief, dancing appears as the only solution.

Also, my favorite kind of music is dancehall, because this style has slow songs that you can listen to when you want to relax, or if only you want to talk with background music. And also, it has more fast songs than you can dance.

This type of music has many very good musicians, but the truth is that I do not buy any cds. I look for songs in internet, and then I download them, you can even download a whole album. I also go to concerts, and that’s very entertaining

Every day I listen to music, and I usually sing, but as I do not sing very well, I only do it when I'm alone. Dancing’s what I do best. I’m also not very skilled to play any instrument, I just knok some basics. Years ago I wanted to learn how to play guitar, but I never did, maybe someday I will. It would be interesting.

Music is very important for my life, because it goes with me in every moment of the day. It reminds me of happy and sad times that I’ve lived. For example, my favorite song belongs to a movie soundtrack; I like it because it reminds me of the last years than I spent in school, specially the happy moments I shared with my friends.

I don’t know what I would do if music didn’t exist!

...... About the article....

When, I enter the website indicated (www.guardian.co.uk/), immediately I chose the item of education, because my career is Education preschool and initial basic, then it was logical to select a news from there.

The news is called “Nappy curriculum 'boosts basic skills”, this is about the implementations of a curriculum created by the government. This intervention in education, is for early preschool education, for children between three and four years. The main objective of stimulating to children for that they reach targets for basic literacy, numeracy and social development. The results, by a side has been positive because the percentage increase in basic skills of the children, but also has been negative because it decreases the percentage of the children who were more capable because they worked at higher levels before the project implementation. Precisely, that this decrease text considers important in the results of children than before is highlighted.

Now, as a student of pedagogy, I think that a good teacher should be able to prepare a class for the different levels at which are children. Unfortunately, if children more highlighted don´t respond as before, this may be because they are worried about the majority, and the teachers and the curriculum forget diversity in the classroom. Diversity is a key element to is having a good education. Also, I think that preschool education is not to pressure to children, they can not provide schooling for a child of three or four years, the children should learn according to their stages of development.

... Cinema Films....

Going to the cinema is not a bad option when you want to do something fun. I remember that as a child, my family and I were going to see the movies. We liked to go the cinema because the image you see in a very large screen, listened a lot better, the seats were comfortable, you could eat popcorn, and was a good opportunities to share with family. With the step of the years, we even go to movies at least one day a month.

Then, during my childhood I saw several movies, but my favorite is “the lady and the tramp”. This film was produced by Walt Disney in year 1955. The movie is about a couple of dogs that come from very different realities. But, although they have differences which may have their lifestyles, tastes, etc, they can have a relationship.

I like this movie, is one of my favorite first because it reminds me of my childhood, and second because it teaches values as the friendship and the love. These two reasons are the good points of the film. In short, is a movie that at first glance seems to be light in content, but if you look with attention can find some very interesting elements.

... what to do/ where to go in Santiago ...

The good about Santiago, is that as the capital of our country it has several places to visit, and various activities for residents of this place, and for visitors. I was born in the metropolitan region, and I have always lived, in the commune of Santiago, specifically.

Then, I know this place, I would recommend visiting the sites most characteristic, for example some tourist attractions are at the center of Santiago there you can visit the “paseo peatonal Londres” begins in the Plaza San Francisco and goes to Alonso Ovalle, this area is declared as a typical area of the capital, and is by its architecture of the years 30. Also, we have “La casa de la Moneda”, which now occupies the seat of government, is very interesting to visit because it is part of our history, and you can visit their museum. And, if you walk a few streets, arriving at the "Plaza de Armas" maybe this place is not pretty, but worth the trip because there is the cathedral, this if is beautiful.

And that's not all, after of visit places that are part of our national identity, after of know places more characteristic in our history. It's time to visit other sites as the “Santuario de la naturaleza Yerba Loca”, where there are long roads, beautiful landscapes, different ecosystems and many animals and plants. Here, you can take long walks, contemplatethe nature, make camping with the family, walking horses, and of course, take many pictures.

And finally, I recommend the "Barrio Bellavista" because already mentioned most cultural places, and other natural environments, but we needed somewhere for the fun. On these streets will find several restaurants, some dance clubs, or if you prefer there are also karaoke, there is local for all tastes. You will not regret visiting these places.¡

...MY FAVORITE TV.SERIAL ....

The true is that, I am not good for to watch TV, because in my free time I prefer to do other things, as by example I like going to the cinema with my family or I love going out with my friends at different places.

But, considering how little of TV than I see, I can say that my favorite TV. serial is “Sex and the city”. IT is not difficult choose for my because I think immediately in this serial. I like this.¡

This serial is about the story of four women, who are united by a great friendship. They live in New York, and that is where they pass through joys and sorrows, loves and hates, but they always have the support of her friends. Right, that´s why it is my favorite, by the concept of friendship that living, and that is an example, the unconditional friendship. Moreover, this comedy is about relevant problems for society and especially for women which more than a chapter, they feel identified with the characters.

I will recommend it to everyone, simply, because it is a mixture, you can entertain, and also you reflect on your life, and social events. Maybe at the beginning you do not like much, but slowly you captivate, and you end up like me, without bother you watch in different channels the old chapters.

Transantiago...before and after.¡¡

I can not forget that the pre-Transantiago system, It was not bad for me because I had several buses for I travel from my house to all the communes of Santiago, and it was best that you wouldst only one bus and ready, you arrive at your destination. Besides if I didn’t want to take bus, I could travel by underground, this was faster, comfortable and clean. Precisely, this last, the bus was a feature negative because the most of them were old, then they were in very good condition, so that they were unsafe.

Now if we compare the old with the new system I would say the new system, unlike the previous one, to I travel from one commune to another I have to take more than a bus, and even take underground. I think these combinations are tiring and are a negative feature because it takes more time after all. And, I don’t think only this¡ But, if the current system is better because the users must use a card to cancel, this allows than the drivers with less danger, because without money will not be attacked.

The truth is that I hate it a little to Transantiago because to travel from home to university, I have to make several changes of underground to bus, of metro to bus, etc. Then, I linger long in coming and that did not happen before¡.

The idea of changing the system is not bad, but if arrangements need to improve roads, or build more lines, because another negative feature is that the bus and underground collapse at certain hours and that should not be so arrangements needed to improve routes.
