The Chilean education

Today tell you about of education in Chile. Is difficult talk about this topic, because the education in Chile is very questionable. First there is a big difference in the education that receives all children. Being the good education a right, in the Chilean schools not teach the same. Just in the particular school and traditional state school you can be found quality education. This is general tendency. Then the people that receive good education are only they can pay this education. The variables that influence in this are many. I think that this are connected with education policy that there are in Chile. Also this are connected with teacher`s motivation and student’s motivation depending on the situation in each. This is a vicious circle.
Another problem is what is taught. The curriculum is designed by dominant part of society. It is taught mathematics, science, language… only hard science. This it is the society need for industrial production, but leave out the content that promotes personal development, for example the philosophy. The hours that dedicate to philosophy taught are less than hours to mathematics.

could go on but for now I shall leave my.

What do you think of the Chilean education?

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” my favorite movie

I like very much see movies. It`s a good activity to night`s Friday, where I need to relax. My favorite film is “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind”. I don’t remember when see it because was long ago.
Is a north American’s film to 2004, its director is Michel Gondry and the principal actors are Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet, too you see Elijah Wood, Mark Ruffalo, Kirsten Dunst, Tom Wilkinson. The film presents a history when Joel (Jim Carrey) meets to Clementine (Kate Winslet) in the improvised trip but it’s not the first time than are together. Through to film you discover that they meet to before. They had a long relation but Clementine decide to finish the relation and she go to doctor Howard Mierzwiak to blot out the all Joel`s regards. Joel too made brain laundering to forget to her. The film is very fun and interesting because it`s not lineal in the time. The film can be confusing but in the end you understand all history. Any way who has not tried to forget someone?

English learning websites

Today I visit to http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/

Is an interesting websites for learn English. You can learn English entertaining way. This websites is interactive. You can make many activities where for example you can listen and read English text at the same time. Also in this websites you can learn English playing. I visit a section where I can read and to listen a news at the same time. With this activity I can learn to pronounce English word. Also it`s very useful for understanding spoken English. If I found an unknown word or an unknown expression, I found the meaning in the end of page.

Also You can learn english wiht “the flatmates”. It`s a serie. It `s about four friends who share flat.

Earthquaker in the epicenter

Today I will tell about my experience of February 27th 2010.
That day I stayed in my parents’ home in Concepción. Hours before I asked my brother to go out to his bedroom and I went to sleep. I was sleeping peacefully when I felt that my bed moved. Then the moment became very quickly and fuzzy all. I remember that I woke up and I listen a yell out from my brother calling me. Then he came into bedroom and he toke me out of there. We quickly went down the stairs and we got together in the principal door. While we waited that the movement stopped, we called out my dad for him to appear, but he didn`t appeared. I hugged my mom. I was scared. I sensed the smell of dust. The moment felt eternal. When the movement past my dad appeared with lanterns and a battery-radio. The only station that we could hear was an argentine one. In that moment we discovered that the movement was an earthquake.
The day after that we woke up near to the fire at the home of a neighbor. There they gave me a chocolate. I was happy because it calmed my nerves.
