Blogging experience

Hi! Now I have to write the last post and is time of to evaluate this experience.
I think that the blog was a good experience for learn more english, more vocabulary and the quickly of the creation of sentences. Besides never I have had a blog or web page of this type where you can write about a theme, so was my first time (including the previous class of english -level 3-).
Write in the blog was important and a benefice for my english, I think that thanks to the blog I could learn more, but I must say that I feel a few of frustration with the learning. This semester has been definitely more difficult, because is the last year in my career and for all conflicts in relation with the education, was very difficult learn something without enough classes.
Some post were funnier than others (I think that I never thought that some post was boring), for example the post about "One on one", "An ambition", and "My Christmas", among others. In these post was easier write because not were so specific topics and was fun to tell about me or about something that like me.
The disadvantages of the blog can be that the blog take time and sometimes we don’t achieve to write all post, especially because in this class we had write in our home and in general was so difficult to me make me the enough time to do the english tasks. Well, although in most cases I was late in making post, the true is I want learn english, and I really try, but how already I said this semester has been more difficult.
I can say this programme helped me improve my english. This programme forces me to write and read in english every week and was interesting and sometimes fun to read the post of my classmates (in this case my favorites, I think were the dalila and susana blog). In my opinion Is a great advantages have the blog in the English class, because this program make better the capacity for express ideas.

Good luck!
bye :)

a piece of art

Hello classmates!

Well, I have to talk about a piece of art that I like, but the problem is: I study history of art, and for that is so difficult choose one piece or one artist, because in the last four years (since I began my career) I have had many favorites artists... (actually, since I was a child I liked several artist). There are many good artist, and there are many different styles in different times. For that, I think is very difficult choose one work in this field (maybe in other field too).
Anyway, after thinking it, I choose one of the first pieces of art that I knew and although it's so typical, I love it until today.

One of my favorite forefronts is the expressionism, especially for the identity crisis and the social critique, and Van Gogh is one of the most important expressionists. I knew Van Gogh because my mom had a picture called “The starry night”, one of the most famous paints in the world. In this moment, this picture became in one of my favorites pictures. In my opinion this paint it`s very especial for the night landscape, for the intense colors (that don´t represent the reality), and because Van Gogh show us his emotions across the landscape… among other things

In general the people think that Van Gogh was a crazy and alcoholic man, but I´m not sure about it. Is true that Van Gogh was an alcoholic and also it´s true that he was an irritable and sensitive person. So, I think that for his great ire and sensibility, the people say that he was a mad man.

my Santiago city

Well, now I will talk a little about this city, with their good and bad things. I always have lived here, so, I know some things about Santiago. One of the things I like about Santiago is that there are a variety of panoramas where you can entertain and where you go to see or do differents things, something that doesn't occur necessarily in other places in the country. I think that, if you don't know this city you need visit the Historic Places, such as The Moneda, the ex - National Congress, the mail, the Brazil neighborhood, the neighborhood Concha y Toro, and more and more. And not only beautiful places in the city itself, also outside of it, as is the Cajón del Maipo and the sanctuary of Yerba Loca, that allows the visitor and the resident be in nature, but nearby to the city itself.
But all is not wonderful in Santiago, and like any big city has its problems that many people (including me) want try to change, as lack of education about the culture and their value, the importance of the proper use of space and the appreciation of these. In ralation with the nature, in general the situation is awful for lack of green areas for recreation, and is so clear that we need nature into the city, to provide us with clean air and beautiful landscapes. Another thing that as a big city I don't like is the large and notorious differents in the social strata that has a geographic component that in other places is not so evidently. And, I must to say that is impossible don´t mention the theme about the transportation, because the transportation is the theme of this beautiful city that we can´t ignore, Transantiago rows, the number of vehicles on the streets, lack of bike lanes make the forms of transportation in the capital is a real disaster.
But after criticism, must propose a solution to the problems, some easier than others. I think that for the issue of lack of culture should be treated with differents policies to promote the culture, like a real and more education directly in the school for young people, and for the use of areas and control of garbage, should be encouraging recycling and promoting a more sustainable life. For a discussion of the geographical distribution of poverty, can be fought with quality education that will enable us to develop a way to get out of the circle of poverty and thus have a method of improving the quality of life of people. well, some problems aren't so easy, but it's can solve, the changes are possible!. About the famous theme of transport, should create more bike lanes and encourage bike as a means of transportation at least to go to the workplace.
Here some tips to know Santiago. To tour the museum culture of the Moneda and the historical center (except in summer, a little heat, jejejejeje), for nature lovers Yerba Loca Sanctuary in Cajon del Maipo is a beautiful place in summer and winter. For the traveler who arrives at the airport, take a transfer (taxi nooo!), and try to go out with few things of value. At night there is always something to do, if there isn’t a good show, would be nice at the end of the day get a drink in Bellavista neighborhood.
