English Language Challenges (en reparaciones)

Good day, everybody!

In this post, i’m going to talk about this subject: the english class. This is a subject that i decide to take to increase my reading abilities and my speaking abilities. In this sense, I’ve discovered a lot of thing that I could do with this language that I didn’t know, this has been something really impressive for me.

I think that this subjet has been a good chance for learn something else about this language, about its grammar, ortography, pronunciation and its tipical uses; a chance to accept and take some english challenges; and a chance to enjoy, enjoy the time that i could spend learning a new language.

For example, I really enjoy to use the blog. I think is a very important oportunity to practise grammar, orthography and my creativity. I’m not very good in this, but i really like to do it. Beside, in this blog I could express my personal opinion in another language, so I have to think too much… If I want to express my opinion in another language I have to be prepared to reject some ideas and convert another one.

An aspect that I need to improve is speaking, my pronunciation… I’m not usually talk in english, and i believe that talk is very important for learn a new language. If i had the chance to talk with somebodty, constantly, in english, I think that I could talk clearly and fluent.

I think that i use the english every day, when I listen english’s music like classic rock, heavy metal and blues & jazz. I sing the songs and I try to singing in a good pronunciation way. When I see a movie in english I try to listening carefully to the characters’ speech… that is an anoother way to improve this language.

This has been my last blog,

Enjoy reading!

My future job?

Good  day,

the post for today is about my future job, i’m going to talk why did i decide to study at the university. 

First, i’m studying at the university because I’d like to get a job as a educational psychologist in the future. I’ve taken some curses that tackle these controversial topics; in these curses we talk about theories and practices that provide some resources for the teachers and students for keep in the educational system and try to live in it.

In my opinion, in this educational system needs a lot of professional that watch over the interests of the children, the excluded I have in mind to work in schools or in the educational ministery, principally, work in research that find evidence for the smooth running of the school.

Really, I’m not interesting in a good salary; I just need to survive with the minimum. I’ll choose a school that accept and stimulate innovators ideas and intervention. I wouldn’t like to work in a traditional institution –because I’ve studied all my life in public and traditional institutions-.

If I was in a job interview I will say that I am a focus person, a little introverted, but very hard working. I never surrender and I try to do all that I can before to get some help. I will say that I really love what I’m doing and that I’m always keep a promise. I’m terrible working with another people but if we work like a team, I could enjoy more that experience. I think that I am an autonomus person.

For all those reasons I am really interesting in this major, 

I hope that you have enjoyed this post…

see you

Dis-Crime-Nation

In this post, I am going to talk about an interesting concept for social sciences, a problematic and controversial concept because the globalization has allowed the international integration from the interchange of a lot of points of view around the world. I'll talk about discrimination.

Obviously, the people around the world do not always agree –probably, they will never come to an agreement to get one opinion and to make the same decisions-. Due to the variety of cultures, the variety in the way people solve problems depends on the particular visions about how they do things (a global world, a democratic world seems like an utopia). This could be the principal reason because people discriminate. 

For that reason, when we think about the topic of “discrimination” we always think about what we need to do to stop it. We can’t always have the same thoughts, but we could try not to discriminate other people points of view. This is an important mission for the educational system, where the people should learn to listen and respect each others opinions.

We discriminate when we don’t listen to others; we discriminate when we exclude another people because of their age, sex, religions, ethnicity, social and economic status. We have to begin to accept diversity, we can’t continue discriminating something because that “something” doesn’t agree with our particular visions, we have to teach values like tolerance, respect and solidarity.

I’m always been functionally integrated in this society, practically I’ve never felt discriminated but I have known people that had been discriminated and I sorrow about that, it’s a shame that people keep doing this practises… I think that this had to stop now, for a solidarity and tolerant world!

Those are principally my ideas,

thanks for reading,
