A matter of mistakes.

Well I really have fun writing in Blog. It consider was a good experience. I am not really sure if I can improve my English. I learn a little bit of vocabulary, but just once we have the possibility to get a feedback by teacher to know our mistakes in grammar, spelling, use of preposition, etc. This is the reason, I normally don’t write at home, because I know that people who can help are really busy.

On the other hand, the topics concerning to the blog were interesting. I feel free to develop ideas that are attractive to conclude a good essay. I think that I improve my English in terms of using of text organization. Sometimes, we are not aware of the fact we need an introduction body and conclusion to present an issue.

In my opinion, Blog could be an excellent tool in class if it is known how to use it. The key is to have a feedback. I think the main idea to write is learn from our mistakes. I would like to continue writing in the future. However, it doesn’t have sense if anybody can correct my errors.


My weaknesses this semester focus on these same mistakes that I have been speaking English is more than writing and reading. A good way to improve English could be watching movies. I didn’t believe in films as a real possibility to learn language. Recently, I have been watching them and I learnt pronunciation, new vocabulary, a little bit of grammar. My strengths I think it is about verb tense. The last semester I had many problems with them. I could not understand why English people use several tenses if we talk in simple present the idea is the same. Fortunately, it appears in my life a new magic concept: accuracy which t is connecting with precision and exactness. This notion helps me to understand grammar and other complicated things that I thought that I will never can appreciate.

Soccer Is Noticed for All the Wrong Reasons, Women’s Soccer Is Noticed


It is really weird that a woman play footfall, in place on tennis or golf, and almost anybody is concern to it. This news call my attention, for the simply reason that so few women practice a rude sport like football. There is no doubt that, in our occidental world many actions which any human being could do or make correspond to any specific sex. For example, to play with dulls, play video games, watching basketball match, to name but a few. This is stereotype vision is not exception in our country.
I just can’t believe that women football was news just to the fact that a girl had an argument with another in a game. It is pretty common that these kinds of situations appear in a match. Despite her good job as a football player, Elizabeth Lambert of the University of New Mexico was suspended after a fight where she yanked the ponytail and hit a member of the against team. Obviously, she loss her temper (I am not giving a justification for her behavior), after all the scandal she claimed that was so regretful.
As the coacher of the United Stated men’s national team said “let’s be fair, there have been worse incidents in games than that. I think we are somewhat sexist in our opinion of sport. I think maybe people are alarmed to see a woman do that, but men do a hell of a of a lot worse things. Was it good behavior? No, but because it’s coming from a woman, they made it a headline.” That is right, I totally agree with him, it is not a question of gender, all the world can loss control wherever. The question here is: why people are not interesting in women football and just women scandals is issue of news?
I just can stand it! It is almost like she beyond than the fact to be woman. They can do more things, not just the unfair cultural imposition to be mother and care children or cooking meal. In our social context, we don’t allow women to be involved in that kind of behavior. There would be very repulsive. I think it is a question of machismo that it could be result in plenty XXI century.

Crying schoolboy faces heroin trafficking charge



That is totally wrong! Young people into drugs, it is completely amazing at least for me. I don’t believe in as a way to rehab bad people. In that place they learn more techniques to robber, mugging, smuggling, hijacking, etc. Even, a young who is just 18 years old and face many drug charges! Include to traffic heroin to children. There are a lot of reasons because they consume drugs. Call the attention of their parents, to feel belong of a group of friends, and in this specific case perhaps to get more money. The teenager was suddenly surprise selling drugs to his classmates.
"I really want to go home and if I get home I will stay home," the teenager told the court. However, his right to be free was seriously denied, due to the fact that he could fall in the same mistake. His family was really sad for the news. Of course, he is not the only one who was involved in the traffic, there’re more students, but he is the main suspect.
Police found over 38 grams of heroin, when he was arrested at a park near his school. Certainly, he had experience in the drug world. It was found all kind of drugs, like ecstasy, marihuana and heroin too. It is not an easy situation, students and teachers were scared about the issue.
Here in our country, there’re many young people trafficking drugs. It is necessary to find a solution. They don’t have a nice dailylife at all. Society has a clear tendency to guilty to the government to don’t do anything about it but the question is: are we doing something as a society to help this kind of people?

Sesame Street: Michelle Obama celebrates show's anniversary


I remember when I was a child, every morning I enjoyed watching this TV programme. I didn’t imagine that was so old, they are 40 years on TV. Michelle Obama, the wife of the United State`s President has not been absent in the celebration.

Sesame Street has brought other celebrities like Stevie Wonder, Rober De Niro, to name but a few. So Obama is not the first guest. Even David Beckham was shared with some character of the TV show. Milliions of kids were watched him, when he said that the final letter of the alphabet was zee instead of zed. Certainly, he left his brain at home. Undoubtedly, David might continue playing football.

There’s a lot of speciation about the performance of Michelle Obama. Many people are speculating about that. Some believe that she is going to sing with Elmo, other think that she is going to show how a cucumber grows with the company of bird Abelard. There’s nothing sure about it, at least which will be very funny.

A lot of people!


That is right. Many of people are living in the world. I thought about this, but I had never imagined that a web city is concerned about the exactly number of persons are in the planet. What is more, it has details about how many people and dead. That is amazing. I am a kind of person interesting in freak details, and talk about them in a conversation, in order to seem a cool person.

Apart from this, it is a difficult issue to think or ask ourselves, what would happen with the future generations? They will be able to manage the megalopolis that they are going to form? Nowadays, here in Chile, if you go to the drugstore always I full of people. If you take the bus is full, if you to the cinema the queue to buy the ticket is full too. Whenever you go is overcrowded! That situation is stressful. I sometimes am annoying about this situation. Why parents didn’t have birth control?

On the other hand, people die. That is too sad. However, if we don`t die, we would be into a disaster! Thousand, millions and trillions of people! In a history class I remember that my teacher said: “think in a positive aspect of a war” All the class didn’t have a positive argument in favor a war. We just thought that war means blood, tragedy and dead. And if there is not dead, and many mother keeping having children? Can you imagine the famine, as a result of shortage of food?
