Creo que esta es una excelente canción para terminar mi semestre...
A veces kisiera encontrar un lugar como Spectre
Ahora solo queda esperar... o convertirme en pez...

Man of the Hour (Pearl Jam)

Tidal waves don’t beg forgiveness
'CRASHED' and on their way
Father he enjoyed collisions; others walked away
A snowflake falls in may.
And the doors are open now as the bells are ringing out
Cause the man of the hour is taking his final bow
Goodbye for now.

Nature has its own religion; gospel from the land
Father ruled by long division, young men they pretend
Old men comprehend.

And the 'SKY BREAKS' at dawn; shedding light upon this town
They’ll all come ‘round
Cause the man of the hour is taking his final bow
Goodbye for now.

And the road
The old man paved
The broken seams along the way
The rusted signs, left just for me
He was guiding me, love, his own way
Now the man of the hour is taking his final bow
As the curtain comes down
I feel that this is just goodbye for now.

Living alone

I think that when you have the possibility of living alone, that in first place means a complete change in you life, because as we know, when you live with your parents you are not worried about cleaning the house, or paying bills, washing and ironing clothes because all those works used to be made by you parents.
So in this way living alone means that you need to be a more responsable person because otherwise your new single life experience would be a mess.

Probably a good idea could be share the apartment with friends, and in this way would be easyer to sharing housewor, even though is a common fact that during the first months the relationship is very good but over the time is moving, things are becoming kind of complicated because of the different temperaments.
So, an important aspect to considerate is that if we want to try living with friend we have to think very well in What friends we will choose, specially if we not want to finish our frienships as a result of sharing an apartment.

But living alone might also bring a lot of happines, you can feel that you are responsable by yourself and in my case, I will love to decorate my own house with all the things that I like: candles, a lot of wood and rustic decoraton in general.
And also if you have your own place you can invite you friend whenever you want.
To be honest I'm very anxious for living alone and having my own home or department.

Favourite Website

I don't spent so muchtime in my computer, is so boring to me , I mean that is necesary when we have do do some homework, and also is a goog tool for studing but in general when I want to check someting is very fast. I hate to lose so much time time in front of the computer.
But I always visited taringa because I am always download many discs so I guess that this website is the one that I visited frequently. In this place I foun all what I am looking for, even though sometimes is really difficult because the download links doesn't work or said that they are out of service. But I keep looking until I found it. =)

15. Cartoon or Anime Character

If there is a cartoon that I really like is Hey Arnold! I love this character because he is a boy with beautiful feelings, and is always helping the other people like his classmates and neighbors and he really cares about other people problems and help them to resolv it. He is just like my boyfriend.
I love people that have good feeling, I think that nowdays is difficult to found someone like Arnold.
I started to see Hey arnold when I was a little girl about 9 years, and I remember that I spent so much time watching it, in company of my brother in nickelodion. But now we still enjoying it, bacause everyweekend at the morning we seen it in megavision.

14. Household Chores

Well I use to hate doing household chores, but this days I like to help my mom as much as I can, I don'y have a problem washing the dishes, cleaning the house or iron on in any think in particular, excepy by cooking. The truth is that I haven't learned yet I just can cook rice and all kind of eggs.
Luckyly my little brother Diego loves to cook so when my parent go out for a weekend with their friend we don't have problems with the food because he prepare chinese food or different kind of delicious food.
We are such a good complement, because after he cooks I have to wash the dishes.

13. Lucky Number

Well I don't have a lucky nunmer but allways when I have to choose some number the first one who came to my mind is 25 my "aniversary" day with my boyfriend, and also 28 and 23 of my birthday and my brother's birthday. Now that I think about this I don't have a reazon, I just remember those 3 numbers inmidiately for any ocsasion. And fortunately I have always had good results usig them so I might thing that I don't have only one but rather three lucky numbers.

12. My House

Well my house is really cold in winter time, but I really like it is a big house with enough space for everybody so everyone can be doing their stuffs without disturbing anyone. I live here with my mom, dad, and my little brother Diego(16). I think that is allways very clean and organized because we don't spent so much time there. I mean that we have our own rooms so all the mess you can foun it there but the rest of the house is really orderly because we don't have a baby and also my mom is always cleaning and concerned that everything looks beautifull, she hate disorder.
I try to helping her but she don't care if I don't, actually I allway say that I can clean my room but every day when I return to University I found everything in a perfect order.
I don't know what else can I say about my house, I think that is just like every house. I think that is beautiful and I love to be there.
I only found a picture of my kitchen (we also spent a lot of time there talking about How was our day or anything) ...I was just playing with the cammera and there are my parents in the picture.

11. A place you like to visit in Chile

Well I'm surprised about Simon's post because that is my favourite place in Chile too. Actually I visited Los Molles since I was a Baby, some family member have a house there but we are no so close so sadly I can not say "uncle can I go to your beach house this weekend with some friens". But anyway I love this place because is a Family travel almost as a ritual of every single year since I can remember. What I like the most is that is not a known place at all I hate those beach full of people, I preffer to rest in a quiet place without so much noise, and on the other hand there is not only the beach, you can also visit so many natural places like "Puken", "el mirador"or the other beach that is behind of a long wall.
To me this is a perfect place and I love to return there every year with my family.

10. Learning English

I think that speaking is really diffcult because in English there are many sound that we don't use in Spanish so at least to my that is the most difficult aspect of English.
I know that writing and listening are important too, but in my experience I get really nervous when I am been evaluated specially in orals, I know that this can sound kind of stupid if we want to become teachers but I have realized that the fact that you will have a mark in that moment, adds extra nervousness but I try to be relax and focus in what I have to do.
Also another problem is the vocabulary because we have to learn so many words but one method that I use is watching movies so I can have fun and learn at the same time.

9. A good read

I like to read in my room, in my living room and sometimen in the garden. Actually my house is very quiet so there are many places where we can read.
Actually now I am reading "Los Fusileros" an excellent book from Cristobal Peña, it talk about the MIR organization and how they planed the attack to Pinochet in Cajón del Maipo. Actually I could say that this has been my all semester book because as I don't have time to read it. I just can doit on the bus and only if I foun a empty seat.
But this book is so interesting that I don't care reading in the bus.
I also have the Bibliometro card but I havent use it as much as years before.
Anyway I love to read so I try doing it as near as I can.

8. Something you would like to learn

mmm.. difficult question but if I had to choose one think I would like to learn, I think that it'll be yoga. and next in second place all the other ones like guitar and cooking because my boyfriend insisted so much on this last point and I have been trying to learn bass with my brother but I just give up, because I think that the strings are very thick or maybe my fingers so thin, probably the second one XD.
But in general is good for people having goals, some of them can be easyerthan other ones but while your emotions and your mind are focused in something, that is good for your soul.
Because in mu opinion there is nothing worst that a person without objectives.

Extra post (MICHAEL JACKSON)

I just I can't believe this horrible new.
I totally love him. He was one of the biggest musicians in the whole world. I don't care what can people say about him, and sexual harassment or any of those charges.I will always remember him as a genius,a real musician, he leaves a legacy for the rest of the times.
He also start a new tendency here in our country during 80's, his music transcend every age and generation.
I wonder what are the biggest stars dying, Why can not die daddy Yanky or one of those guys? we wouldn't miss them at all, and also they are so many, I hate them.
I feel really sad because of his death, and my whole family too. my mom and dad loved him, actually they were in the only concert that he offered in 1993. I was just a baby for that time, but my parents were very yung. Yersterday they were remembering that concert, and my mom said that it was something amazing.
I can not choose one favourite song because all of them are so brilliant, (Remember the time, Beat it, smooth criminal, and earth song that is one of my favoutites videos too if you haven seen it here is the link. Enjoy it

7. Someone you like

Well I didn't understand if we have to talk about someone famous or a close person so I'll choose both. In a fist place I will like to talk about a really interesting person, his name is Salvador Allende Gossens. I know that you already know him only as a politician, but he was a good person too in every sense of his life.What I like the most about him was his personality, he was so consequent with his thoghts that make me admire him so much more.

I thin that nost of the people inserted into de goverment are ther because they have their own interests, and not really worried about the people and the best for geting better thir lifestyle.

And if I have to choose a close person I definitely choose my boyfriend (kind of obvious) because he is a good person and care about me, and also even though we have a few differences, we share so much tastes in common like music. So I dont not wat can happen in the future but now I enjoy him as much as I can =).

My Blogging Experience ... ^-^

Well I have to admit that this blog has been a completely new experience to me, I remember that during the first week using it, I was one of the worst bloggers in my class, well to be honest now I still thinking that I’m not so good, but at least I think that I’m trying, and above all I think it was a remarkable idea, you know, having a chance of writing about topics that we are really interested in, and also this tool give us the opportunity to know the thoughts of our classmates. In other words I think that the idea of this blog was the best for us, because it’s not a boring homework at all. We write about fun topics, so it’s easier for us to write about something that we like in a more fluent way, and at the same time get to know a little bit more about our classmates.

One think that makes me feel sad is the fact that I don’t have enough time to write every day in the blogathon, and I’m very honest in this point because I know that this is a big chance to me to improve no only my writing also my redaction and my fluency. Because as a few of you know, sometimes I have a tendency to confuse some words, and through this daily exercise I know I could progress more than I could imagine.
Actually even though I am delayed in many posts is because I don’t have the time for doing it but I want to. All the weekends I say to myself, “Ok today I will do it”. But always, something happens that makes me further behind.

But I think that now, because of weather conditions I will not leave my house, so during today and tomorrow I will be pleasantly writing.

6. Pets...

Let me introduce you my wonderfull pet, it`s my orange fish and his name is Jim Morrison....
unfortunatelly he is not still with me anymore, on march of this year he began acting in a very strange way, he looked so depresive and he was jus hidden all the time behind a rock, and then I realize that something was wrong with him.
One they after university, I arrived home and my mom was really sad and then she hug me and told me the bad news, my loved fish was dead.... It was a horrible new, I feel so bad and I missed him so much... my room looked kind of empity without my dear pet Jim.
My family was really sad too, because Jim was one of the members of my family...
Anyway.. now after three months I think that I am ready to find another fish, though Jim will never be replaced...
And the name of my new fish would be Jimi Hendrix... what a nice name Don´t you think?
This is a picture of my beautiful fish Jim Morrison... =)

5. Dream Vacations...

I will love to travel to Jamaica because I think that is a really interesting place and also I have the feeling that every single people in that place is really nice, I dont know exactely why, maybe because the weather in that place is very hot and the people is kind of relax, also it would be inetersting to know the bob´s marley monument and I am sure that if I someday travel to Jamaica I will take so much pictures in company of many rastas jajja and the beautiful beaches.
Another place that I will totally love to travel is to Cuba, I think that is definitely an interesting city because they have a lot of history too, about their revolution and also I would like to visit the monument of Che Guevara. ^-^.... I would be so happy in any of this both places... So, if you are planing to go there I will be really happy to be invited ....

Motivation

I choose this topic because I think that is actually one of the most important aspects to considerate as future English teachers.

There is an interensting example that Andrew Littlejohn describe at the beggining of the article, an talk about the big difference between students of one grade and the highers ones, and their reactions related with the lack of motivation that is possible to realize only looking at their faces.
But he analyze some really important aspects, that might influence this kind of behavior, for example personality, or maybe the onset of adolescence that is definitely a complicated transition.

In the article the author recognize that there is a small number of students with an intrinsic satisfaction from learning English known as "integrative motivation".
In terms of educations persist the problem in which teachers work with an extrinsic reward and punishment. And as a result of this, they do not realize that through this system, weaker student desmotivate easily. If they feel that they can not get a good mark in a certain subject they will probably think too that is not worth it. So whay they do in fron of this situation? They show indifference because for them is better that the rest of the people think that they do not learn because they do not want to and not bacause they are failures.

The motivation-ability spiral begins with earlier attitudes like sitting at the back of the class or choosing a seat where they would not be noticed, pretending illness in a test or similar reactions.

After analyze this important factors, is good for all of us to keep in mind that motivation has a strong relationship with the psychological aspect, So we need to be vey careful about how to give feedback to another person. Because we do not want to be rude or hurting someones feelings.

Ken Robinson

After I saw this really interesting web page http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/ken_robinson_says_schools_kill_creativity. I realize that Ken Robinson discuss an important topic, especially for all of us who will become teachers.
I agree with Ken in the idea that educaton needs to be creative, because that is an important way in wich children can develop many skills. for example in his speech he mention that there are a certain number os mathematics hours, so he said that for example music and art is important too, in the same way as the others subjects, I don´t know, but apparently is not that important for the actual school system.
I think that is good that people arround the world are concerned about this, and I found that Ken is also a very nice guy, I could realize that through the way in which he talk about this topic. He also gave veru good example to clarify his ideas, like the first one of a boy who draw God an the teacher answer that no one know God so the student said you will in a second. It was a cool answer to me, you know, because children has an extraordinary imagination and schools should provide the possibility of encourage creativity instead of kill it like actually happens.

4. Education...

What a difficult topic... especially nowdays that we can see teachers strike,
mmm... I think that our actual system of education is so poor, there is a huge difference into municipal schools and private. I think that is so unfair that poor people dont have more choise oportunities because finally this is a situation that sadly will never change. People who has a difficult economic situation have less oportunities to opt for better conditions no only in education, is almost in every aspect of their lifes. So I actually have had this conversation with many friends and we all think in the same way, we have a big tool been teacher so we have achance to try to do our best to create a new sistem of education or teach no only subjects, so also style life.

3. Dreams...

Well I have a lot of dreams and expectation for the future related with my personal life, I would like to travel and have a beautiful family for the rest of my life, like in a fairytale. But an important think that I want, is to have the mature to make rights desition because I strongly believe that every desition that you made will have an impact for the rest of your life, and even though you can learn of your mistakes it will always be better do the right thing in every aspect of you life.

On the other hand I have this imposible dreams, in which I am a very succesful drumer and I`m playing for millions of people in a concert. But fife is different and I almost don have any time to practice because we have a lot of work with university stuffs....
But anyway to dream is free....

2. 2012!

Well I have to say that I know that image that Simon put in his blog and that is the front of a new movie that talks about the end of the world.
Yeap! very apocalipthic it talks about mayas culture and about their prediction for december of 2012 that is supose to be the date of an important event or maybe the end of the word, no literately but maybe is a change related with the wether or this natural cathastrophes like gobal warming that will increase for that time.
Well I have two things to say about that:
Te first one is that is a horrible movie so please don´t waste your time watching it, at least yo want to sleep.
And the second one is what I think aout this, I `m sure that 2012 it´s not gona be yhe end of the world, that´s a fact, but I do believe that we will experience the consecuences of the damage that we are made to the eart.

1. PARANORMAL EVENTS!

Well it`s kind or weird what happend to me with this topic I don`t konw, because I really like it but at the same time I feel kind of scared if I talk so much about that. I think that what scared me more is the factthet this event can be truth and I wouldn`t like been victim of any if these issues, actually I believe in energies and in souls of dead people thatcan not reast in peace.


Actually I have neverhad an exeprience with ghosts or any of that, But what I have experienced some situations with manipulation of energies, and I try do keep inside my house many object to move aways bad vibrations. About a cuple of month we buy a lucky bamboo and we also have quartz in our living room.

Well I think that is good to prevent bad energies especially is you believe in that.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind...

This is a movie with a very long name...
Directed by Michel Gondry and having by main characters to Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet, the screenplay was written by Charlie Kaufman, the film premiered was on May 24, 2004 and became one of the most acclaimed films of that year, actually they won an Oscar for best original screenplay and Kate Winslet was nominated for best actress.

This is a love story, in which Clementine decides to erase from his memory her boyfriend Joel,
when he realizes this situation he decides to do the same and erase her from his memory.
In the process of erasing memory, Joel regrets of his decision and decides to escape from his memories with Clementine in order to not forget her, but is too late.
Despite of this at the end of the story appear as they know eachother again and started a new relationship.

It's one of the most beautiful stories and shares the first place with Big Fish that is also a beautiful movie and one of my favourites too.

* If you guys are interested in seeing the trailer I invite you to visit the following link =) enjoy it ::::::::::> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkMOjNWiHuA&feature=related

...:::My favourite song at the moment:::...

Well first of all dear reader, you need to know that music is my whole life, I love to find new groups and have many records I listen music at any time depending on my mood is the kind of music that I like listening, the good thing is that my boyfriend as the same way as me is also an expert in music and I love him for that =) ... Anyway the point is that he has too many albums that I can borrow when I need it he's also all the time discovering new groups so I can expand my musical repertoire.

The song that in this minute I just can't stop listening is Hear you Me by Jimmy Eat World.

Jimmy Eat World - Hear You Me

There's no one in town I know
You gave us some place to go.
I never said thank you for that.
I thought I might get one more chance.
What would you think of me now,
so lucky, so strong, so proud?
I never said thank you for that,
now I'll never have a chance.
May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
So what would you think of me now,
so lucky, so strong, so proud?
I never said thank you for that,
now I'll never have a chance.
May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
May angels lead you in.
May angels lead you in.
And if you were with me tonight,
I'd sing to you just one more time.
A song for a heart so big,
god wouldn't let it live.
May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
May angels lead you in.

I must clarify that beyond the letter I like this song for its melody and its interpretation.

Talk! Talk! Talk!

Well, I would like to talk about personality because I believe it is the most important aspect of the person who we are because we are all unique and the people around us, the closest and people who care about us accept us just as the way we are, even though with our strengths and weaknesses.
There are many types of personalities and obviously there are many of them that we might like or not. What's right for one person may not be right for another.
Some of the good ones are:
adaptable, adorable, alert, brave, calm, capable, charming, comfortable, confident, cooperative, courageous, credible, cultured, decisive, delightful, detailed, determined, dynamic, efficient, energetic, entertaining, enthusiastic,

Some adjectives related with negative personality:
abusive, angry, annoyed, arrogant, ashamed, awful, bad, bored, careless, confused, cowardly, crazy, cruel , cynical, dangerous , depressed.

Whatever is our position about other people personality the most important thing is trying to be tolerant and respect eachother despite differences...

*** My favourite blog ***

Well the blog that I chose is the one of my friend Consuelo for the simple reason that I love the colors green, yellow and red (that is so reggae) although she is kind of delayed in some post, but I hope she will upload them soon. This blog talks a lot about her personality because it has relation with her musical tastes which also are very similar to mine. I also believe that consuelo has an special form of narration, a little more informal than in other blogs but I think that makes it fun.

Consuelo is a very relaxed, quiet and nice person that´s why she is my friend, and that is the same reason why I like her blog, because represents her personality.
If you want to know a few more stuffs about this little girl Shika you can find that information in this website http://shikareggaeska.blogspot.com/ and also you can see the happy and decorative that is . Although a little bit careless and with some missing homeworks, so I´ll like to invite you guys to motivate to my dear friend Conzuelo to take care and keep her blog up to date. ;)

Anyway I hope you have a chance to visit her blog

Letter to Mónica Jiménez

Mónica Jiménez,

I´m writing this letter for the reazon that I am very concerned about what is happening nowdays in terms of education, I strongly believe that this situation in wich professional in other careers can work as teachers is comlitely irresponsible. I´m not telling that they might not do it, is just that peolple like us who are studying this career have specific subjects to deal with academic problems or children behaviors that they might not have.

I know that probably teachers are kind of responsible for this situation becouse we have seen through the time that they they have not improved their knowledge and nor even have contributed to the rest of the people respect this profession.

Despite this I woud like to ask you to reconsider this situation considering that it is a very complex issue that requires more analysis time.
I will be waiting for a response to my complaint.

Best regards.
Claudia Márquez.

Easter Week

Well, I think that this easter week was a really productive one becouse I feel that this semester we dont`t have enough time to enjoy with our families, people that we love, or just doing things that we like to do, becouse of laboral experiences and a little free time that we have.
Anyway during this easter week I spent some time watching catholic movies with my family. On Saturday I went to "Mercado Central"to eat seafood =), and on Sunday I went with my family again to Pomaire, It was a really nice weekend on family.
And obviously I ate many easter eggs.

..:: Bullying ::..

Well I think that sometimes in our culture we can cause many sadness to others just for fun, and I really hate when there are some people, specially students who enjoy hurting other children feelings. Perhaps our society is becoming so insensitive to this kind of issues that we don´t realize that it might signify a big damage for that person in terms of their personality. And also we can found many others typical aspects in our Chilean culture about rude behavior, like spitting on the street, interrupting conversations, gossips, and a lots of bad manners in general. Anyway, I think that not becouse rudeness exist, we have to respond in the same way.

Cläu!

Hi!!, I´m Claudia Márquez or just Cläu, I don`t have any idea about how to use this blog, but I suppose to be writing something here, So this is my best effort. I´m an English Student, I like readig, writing, and make beatutiful draws and paintings. But what I really like the most is music, some of my favourite bands are Pink Floyd, Smashing Pumpkins, The Doors, Pearl Jam and others. Anyway I don`t know what else I can say about me, I`d better say good bye, and I hope you guys have a nice day... XOXO

BBC page...

I think this web site is a very good one, in which we can learn many things and I really liked the fact that we listen the diferent sounds of consonants, and reproduce them, So that is really useful to improve our speaking.
On the other hand we can found many other ways to improve our English in different ways, with examples of phrasal verbs, Quizzes, pronunciation and grammar.
I really recomend this page, if you want some feedbacks.
