Post 6

Hi everybody, in this occasion I write about a new that appears today in La Tercera Newspaper. Honestly I don’t read every day this newspaper, but I could read about this news in Subway, in the newspaper of another passenger, when I went to the National Library of Santiago City. The new is about the football player Roberto Cereceda and his consumption of cocaine. This could be a sports topic for the press on Thursday 7th, but it is a psychological topic too. First, Cocaine addiction is a psychological dependence problem. When you feel better with Cocaine, later you think in this drug when you feel not fine. You consume, you feel, you think, you consume, you feel, you think. Then, in a long time of consume, psychological dependence could be physical addiction. Even when you want to let this drug, in this point your body asks for it. But, why the human consume cocaine? Ah, many reasons have in the center of this human problem. Reasons like: sorrow, secret suffering, pain, distress, pressure in job, type of personality, and a lot of invisible problems for friends, family, and everybody who lives with consumer. Roberto is a sport player, the sport regulation judges and condemns him. I don’t think Roberto’s being is a crime, I think Roberto needs support, comprehension and professional help. Psychology have many ways to give a solution, but none are easy. I remember Diego Armando Maradonna’s history, and remember the world division around this case, but not much people think and consider the psychological topics about this. When I say psychological topics I talk about social, economics, historical, familiar, individual topics too. About Roberto, national press can say everything, can make money with Roberto’s news, or can be a good friend of this sport player. Nobody are free of fall in down. Not for nothing, football is an entertainment than some people could look it like a drug.

Hi. In this post I tell you what places I think should a foreigner tourist visit in Santiago de Chile. At first, I can offer them history places to visit. For example: where Santiago city was founded. This place is “Plaza de Armas”. In there we can see two monuments: the founder Pedro de Valdivia riding his horse in a corner, and the native people’s monument in the other side of the square. Around the square we can see the Catholic Cathedral, the government palace, and other buildings actually shopping places. In our historical tour we visit San Francisco’s Church, Santa Lucía’s Hill, and La Moneda Palace. In this moment of our trip we can be thirsty. Is time to know popular places. Let’s go to “La Piojera” for drink a “Terremoto”, then we can have to lunch in “Mercado Central”, and visit “Estación Mapocho”. We use “Metro”, our subway to go to San Cristobal’s Hill. In the top we see Santiago city and the smog cloud. The tourist can take pictures or buy Santiago city’s postcards without smog. In the base of San Cristobal Hill, we can visit “La Chascona”, one of many houses of Pablo Neruda, into this cultural center the foreigner can feel like a friend of the poet. In this moment we are very near of the “Carrete” zone. Bellavista is welcome us with open arms. And open bars and restaurants too. All foreigners should drink Pisco sour, red wine, and enjoy chilean cuisine. If they don’t have money, enjoy a “Chela” the actually name of beer in Chile. In a second day, I think the foreigner should visit our marginal places. The tourist should know Chile is not like we painting it around the world.

Hi, this post is about the country I would like to visit. At first, I tell you Chile is the country I would like to visit from Arica to Antártida. I know many places from it. All of them are beautiful. I find lovely people, impressive landscapes, and one amazing thing about language: all the different accents and words to use of it in any different town. But I would like to visit all the corners of my country. Dangerous places too. The last summer I stay in Chaitén, and a can visit, with a crazy guide, a part of Pumalín, just this is no admittance because heir is the Chaitén volcano. Fortunately, nothing bad was happened. But on the other side, unfortunately, the town was under the ash, the people was stay in other places, there are not water and electrical services, and I think in a ghost town like some towns of the north of Chile. Well, places like this I would like to visit. In this occasion I visit Hornopirén, and a part of the Austral Way too. Many other countries I would like to visit, but someone of them I prefer for begin a long travel around the world is Mexico. And why not, maybe study, work and live there. I hear interesting and beautiful things of the place of Mayas, Aztecas, Chiapas, Ciudad Juárez. A friend of mine tell me: Mexico causes you fear, but is a lovely country.

Hi everybody, this first post is about my experiences during the first term of 2010. Well I remember than the university year began with the February earthquake consequences. All the students were very worried for give help to people who fall from favor. In April the classes began. Today I think in the relevant things I learned: Organizational, Communitarian, and Legal Psychology, and of course, more details of English language. One thing that I specially remember was my first case with a patient of the real life. She was a woman who lives under pressure of her job. I had four interviews with her, and I can write about her habits, familiar history, and her distress. In that moment of my career I can’t make much more. This work was simple first diagnosis, that is, a primitive diagnosis. Then I gave to the woman devolution of interviews, and she was very grateful. The devolution was many useful comments and explains for her daily routine.
Out of the study, I played swim in the university swimming pool located at Independencia Street. I was to enjoyed with Football’s World Cup of Southafrica on Radio and TV, and celebrate many birthdays on July.

Hi, this is my first post of English Four’s course. In this occasion I tell you the topics I would like to write about in the blogs. Well, I like to write about national and international news, an ordinary day in the life, Mass media, Childhood, how we see the future, politics themes, History, Arts, jokes, social problems, psychological problems, ordinary problems, relationships, sports, identity, and all about my career. All these topics are some of the themes that I like speak every day. I know many people speak all they want about these topics, which is the interesting thing.

This posts is about my blogging experience. It was great, I did enjoy it so much. In fact, I like write texts, but special texts. My job is about write advertising texts: Leaflets, enterprise's video texts, user's manuals, and many others text types. I write for advertising with responsibility and punctuality. But my job is only a job. Advertising text are not special text for me. These texts are a daily thing. But when I write my opinion, I feel like a newspaper columnist, and this is a special saituation for me. I know, I'm not a journalist, and I don't want to be one, but I like the "not journalist" newspaper columnist's job. I discover this when I write in the english course's blog. The blog gave me the opportunity to know how many like me write about different topics. At first, write in english was a problem for me. But day after day, class after class, the problem was disappearing. Today is not easy write in english for me, but any difficulty is a small thing compared with the pleasure to write. In fact, write in english did help me improve my english. Now I think: blogging in the English class is an advantage. I must confess: Initially, I use the translate "elmundo.es", but now I don't use it. Well, I use it less and less. Before the english course I wrote and spoke like "Tarzan". Now I write and speek like "Tarzán Reloaded". Like the Chilean says: "Something is something". Well, seriously, now I hear english at the movies, and I understand much more, I speek better, and write better. I hear songs in english and I sing it using the correct words. Day after day I say good bye Spanglish!

This post is about education. As we see in the news, yes, in Chile students are not learning in the school. But I repeat: in the school, and they not learning the contents that are important for the school. Because in my opinion, students and everybody are learning a lot of things everyday. I agree with Ken Robinson when he says:"Human intelligence is richter and more dynamic than we have been led to believe by formal academic education". Respect to this, the children of a Fishermen's cove learn to fish in the sea, out of school. The same thing happens in other places around the world. Nobody would say this is not a learn. Nobody would say children can not learn infinite things. Human intelligence's resources are impressive. On the other hand the formal academic education give the children information, contents, habits for this future lifes. But, this type of education is the same for all of them, even they live in Santiago, Chiloé, Caleta Tortel, San Pedro de Atacama. This is the question, in my opinion, the education in Chile is not good, because don't see that ecological circumstances of the people are important for their lifes, their needs, their singular customs, their future life. The Chilean formal education are in a mistake. All the people are different, and need an education for their singular needs, in their singular communities. The SIMCE test is another mistake, it's measuring numbers, it's not measuring education! Like Ken Robinson say: "One of the real challenges is to innovate fundamentally in education". I think, in Chile one of the real challenges is to innovate fundamentally in the law, but in the political Constitution.
