English Language

Hello everybody:
Today I will talk about the benefits of English language.
English is very useful, because is a universal Language, a lot of people speaks English. If you travel around the world English will help you to communicate and if a foreigner needs something, English could help you to understand him.
Another benefit that English has, is that this language is so easy to learn. If you compare with Spanish language, you will understand what I say. Spanish has a lot of words and different verb tenses (past “pluscuamperfecto”, Indicative mode, subjunctive, gerundios, etc).
In my experience I have understood that you have to always practice because English studies needs to be practiced, if you stop studying and talking in English you will forget the words and the way to conjugate the verbs.
In English the activity that I consider the hardest one, is "Listening". For me is so difficult recognize different accents and understand people talking English very fast. I always get bad qualifications in those activities and even when I watch TV or see a movie in the cinema I have to read subtitles although I try to listen. Sometimes I try to understand English listening my favorite songs. This is a good way to learn English, because you can memorize songs, get the lyrics, recognize words that you don’t know, then investigate its meaning and finally get  knowledge.
Finishing I can say that I think English is an undervalued Language in the secondary education of our country, Maybe because the way of teach is very boring. In the school, Teachers just write and take tests to the students. They should make students involve in the language, doing activities that do them learn better. I remember my school classmates didn’t understand English class and when I entered to the university I thought that English classes would be very difficult but I understood that the English levels are very deficient. I keep thinking is because the way of teach. English have to be a basic Language in these years. English classes have to make you think in English, have to make you use the Language and have to be more interactive.

BANKING APPS NEED TO BE REGULATED.

Regulator warns of dangers of mobile banking
 Fraud. Be careful with your smartphone.
This kind of fraud happens through apps of mobile banking services what have achieved popularity among its users.
common mistakes make you fall in this annoying situation. limitations of smartphone keyboard has made users get credits and painful headaches.
“ The Financial Conduct Authority said that while mobile banking was an "exciting development" and rapidly growing in popularity, it wanted to make sure that consumers were aware of the potential hazards, ranging from technical glitches to the increased chance of human error resulting from the small screens and "limited" keypads of many phones. It will be testing some of the leading services to make sure users are being adequately protected. “
have launched mobile banking services and apps, allowing customers to check their accounts, transfer funds between accounts and make payments using their mobile phone or tablet. Some, such as Barclays, have also launched services that let people send and receive cash via their phones.
Studies shows that one in five UK adults had made a payment using their phone, while more than one in four uses their mobile to check their bank balance. But there have been problems; in March 2013, an IT error left customers of NatWest, Royal Bank of Scotland and Ulster Bank locked out of the banks' mobile apps for several hours.
The regulator said the risks it was highlighting had not "in most cases" resulted in problems for consumers, "but they do have the potential to do so if not suitably addressed".
So… you have to care your acts with your smartphone because you could make a mistakes, what can generate a lot of problems to you.

How green I am

Currently this question make us aware of the polution damage and considering our daily practices to care our world. I think That I am not a green person :(

This is a sensitive topic, that's the reason because we must not lie about our green practices.
In my apartament don't exist practices about enviroment care, trash don't be recycle and paper is used wasteful.
I always try to teach my family about keep the garbage in the trashes and now I donate my old clothes and recycle paper with my coworkers.
Although I can drive I prefer to use the public transport ( transantiago or subway) and walk when the distances are very short, not just to care our world of the smog and polution what the car generate, also too because walking is a way to get relax out of daily stress.  I like to ride on bike but my last one was stolen, anyways I didn’t use it because ride the bike is a very dangerous way to care the city, because the city don’t give us security to use our bicycles.  We always see how drivers run over the cyclist, what produces too many deaths in our city. Maybe the solution is bikeways, but you can’t build it everywhere, because a lot of streets have not enough space to build it.
Another practice that I do is print my documents for both sides of the paper, not because I want to care paper, also too because I don’t have printer and if I get font more little and print for both side my copies are cheaper.
After read all that I wrote I can see that I don’t contribute a lot caring our world. Maybe I should read more about this topic, learn and act. =)

FREE TOPIC: BAD PRACTICES.

Today I will talk about popular bad practices.
Maybe you think it’s a bitter comment , but always we do some acts that make us become in a antisocial and bad person.
I remember that in the past my family was nicely with our neighbors but now we greet them just because we need something of them.  It generate an space of tension between us , maybe you can feel suspicious of them, creating a bad relation with people who should be a way to feel secure in your house.
Other bad practice is when people don’t respect who are beside them. Every day we see and live an annoying situation what make us feel very angry:  People who push you and shove yourself in the subway and busses of transantiago.  I still don’t understand why , but people don’t respect spaces neither innings and rows. Sometimes we see people getting in before people who arrived earlier, they don’t respect old people, pregnant woman neither kids who everyday are smashed in the public services.
The last one practice that I want to comment is when people who be with someone don’t leave their smartphone. They are always on internet, facebook, twitter, instagram and others social networking websites publishing and wasting their time instead share and enjoy time with their pairs. They are always taking photos and uploading these, instead eat with somebody or talk. They just take photos of their meal.
Well you can consider these acts what I hate, maybe you can write and share another bad practice what you think is stupid
Is So difficult to live in society, but live outcast could be worse, that’s the reason because you can share a little bit of kindness and contribute with your relationships to vanish these bad practices.

September 18th

September 18th is coming, a really fun date to enjoy.
September 18th or “ patry parties” ( fiestas patrias) is a Chilean date to celebrate the independence of the country. But here we find a big mistake, because the independence of Chile was achieved on February 12th what we really celebrate is the first gobernment ( primera junta de gobierno) what was created in 1810 becoming the first step to independence.
In this date a lot of people travel to meet their parents and others prefer to stay and visit their family or go to the “fondas” a very funny places where you can drink ( chichi, wine, beer…) and eat a lot of meals what are typical of this date; like anticuchos, asados and empanadas.
Some people still enjoy these days playing some typical games like Fly a kite, rayuela, palo encebado and others like dance "cueca" a boring dance.
Having fun is one of the most pleasant things in the life and these are maybe the funniest days in the year, but we also detected some problems what happen those days.  Some Chileans says that they getting fat at least 3 kilos, that’s because we eat a lot when we are having fun. This problem become in a headache because is very difficult Lose Weight.
Another thing is the sad story of every year. The quantity of people who die in this date. A lot of people dies because the alcohol makes us loose the control of our body. Then Knock down and die become a typical thing of this celebrate
Well… The most important what you should know is that you have to act with responsibility. You should know that be careful is part of celebrate, besides you also should know that when you drink and eat with measure, you  take care yourself and other lifes.

My future Job

Hello everybody today I will talk about my future job
I don’t know how will be my future job, but I hope it be connected with my studies. If I can’t find a Job of Public administrator I would like to have a bake shop or a coffee shop.

In the future I want to study gastronomy just because I like cook. I really love to visit a bake stores because there you find a beautiful cakes and cup cakes. I would like to learn how to create these beautiful things.

My best friend likes my idea and she wants to help me if I open the bake shop of my dreams. Maybe I could open a side when you can eat delicious cakes and drink teas. My friend wants to learn how to cook with me (maybe she learn to cook better than me, if that happens I could administrate the business.

If I can’t get money or find a job of public administrator I think that I should watch tv and play video games until “the end of the word” anything will have sense if I can’t reach my dreams.

So I hope that everybody achieve their dreams and can work as they really want. 

My best Holidays

My best holidays were in my childhood.

I had a lot of holidays what I like.
I remember with happiness when I travel to a little town nearly to San Fernando called “Puente Negro” where my grandfathers have a little house. There I went with my parents, my grandfathers, uncles, aunts and cousins.

There we went to the river (“Claro” river), and were together (playing cards, talking, cooking, eating, etc)

These holidays were beautiful to me because I feel it part of my childhood and it makes me feel nostalgic.

Others holidays that I loved were with my aunt and my grandparents (When I was a child frequently I had a holidays with my grandparents because my parents had to work every time).

It were in 2000 ( I think so), We went to the south of Chile. We went to “Talca” first to be with my Auncle Odette, who lives out of Santiago since she got married. Then we go to “Concepción, Talcahuano, Los ángeles and Temuco” to visit other people.  Finally We knew “Valdivia”, “Puerto Montt” and “Chiloé island”.

These holidays were very fun to me, just because I knew a lot of new places and because I share with my second Family, my Grandfathers J.
