WHERE ARE THE CHILDREN'S RIGHTS?

A man trying to make his son stop to crying put him under the squirt of water and left him almost drown. He stopped to do that, until his three kids implore him.

How a man can do these things? What occurs in his mind that let him attack HIS son? I don’t understand those reactions against your own blood. There are many people that cannot have sons because of something genetic, but others attack them as if nothing happen. Nowadays, the news has shown many cases of child abuse. There is still in our memories the case of the children, that his parents gave them poo with sugar and pi to eat, that is so disgusting!!

What can we do?? Love ours children only!! And pray that at least God from above send us a little help to avoid these aberrations.

............... PLEASE!! WHERE ARE THE CHILDREN'S RIGHTS??..................

"Rapel Lake" my favourite place

The Rapel Lake is the place that I enjoy visiting the most. This is located in the 6th region of Chile “Libertador Bernardo O’Higgins”. This beautiful lake is surrounded by many campsites (but not like the one that every person thinks, when I tell them). The camping where I go is called Granja Amanda, and this is so nice. We have everything there, until a pub!! I remember that I told to my best friend about my vacations, and she answered me: “so, that place is like to going to Algarrobo (where people used to be impolite and messy and vulgar, etc) and in that moment I said her: “noooooo!!! Are you crazy?? This is too different!! Even more I invite you this summer to spend your vacations with my family and me, ok?” Since that time she goes every summer with us.

The first time that I went there was 22 years ago; actually, I was in mum’s womb! (And I still enjoy going there). That time, we went with my family but the whole one (we are 45: aunts, relatives, cousins, etc). We go to Rapel every summer, since 30 years ago (I meet that place as the palm of my hand!!). In fact, my grandfather (may rest in peace) went there since he was baby, so, that place is like a tradition for us. Everybody knows the “Clavero’s family” and I have a lot of friend there. What make more interesting The Granja Amanda and the Rapel Lake is that the owners of the campsite also have a tradition and that is called “The week of the campsite” we play games, every age has to play it, since the young until the oldest one.

"The Commitments"

First of all, I have to tell you the truth!! I didn’t like the book. Probably, it was the fact that sometimes I couldn’t understand some words ‘cause they where like cut or repeated, and that at the same time impedes me to have a good comprehension of each role. Although, it didn’t happen me with the film ‘cause what helped me the most, to complete what in the book was missing, were: the images, the actuation, the sounds, etc. all those details that we cannot notice in the book ‘because they are summarized to a few words. That was the problem that I had while I was reading the book the: “THU – CUDADUNG CUDADUNG CUDADUNG” which, I still don’t know what it is!! Are the sounds of the instruments or something like that??

Perhaps giving to the film a point less, can be that how it was a movie it is obviously that, directors omits some parts (what about one of the first integrants of the band, where is that part?) or changes other (as was the case of the kiss that one of the girl gave to Joe the lips, but there appear that it was like mutual), even more, they add some new ones. However, the film could portrait the essence of the book almost good. If we had only seen the movie, probably I never had realized of those small details. Perhaps, one of the most things that I like from “The Commitments” was the fact that it showed us, how a band begins to work, the “stardom” and the death of the band. That was really cool ‘because that happened nowadays with those fleeting bands.

my bad work experience

First of all, My mind is not full of ideas to write about. So I found a topic (not very interesting for you, I think) to do my homework.

As many of you know, I did one of my work experiences in a school, where, I had to stay almost the whole day in a tiny room. Moreover, I couldn’t went to the classrooms because my guide teacher didn’t allow me. Even more, I couldn’t be near of the students in the breaks, because the principal was almost every time looking what I was doing. That experience was so bad, even because the teacher after two months was too disagreeable with me. She said that I wasn’t motivated but how I was gonna be motivated if a couldn’t be in the classroom while she was giving the lesson?.

So what do you think about that?

BBB a great place for learning!!

I totally agree with you Simon!! Lately I have been working a lot with that website. The reason, I am doing my experience in San Luis Beltran, where, there are two girls from England, and they always resort to that place. In fact, last Thursday, Heather (one of the girls) prepared a lesson based on James Bond took it from BBC, and I was the Person in charge to apply it with the children, although, the students couldn’t do the activity very well (because their level of English), they really enjoyed it!! Talking on my experience with the BBC, I remember that, the first time that I look for something in the BBC was in my second year in the university. I was looking for exercises on Grammar (I don’t remember very well what was it), and I found “The flatmates” it was cool ‘cause at the same time that I was learning the rule (that I was looking for) I could saw it in the context, I mean in examples in almost real life! That was great! Actually when I got bored in San Luis beltran, I go to BBC and I start to solve the quizzes or the crossword. I think that it is a very useful website for us and we can learn a lot from it.


I'M SORRY!! BUT I COULDN'T UPLOAD A PICTURE OF THE BBC!!

"Sir Ken Robinson"

First of all, I strongly agree with Sir Ken Robinson’s talk. Nowadays, our schools are killing the children’s creativity ‘cause they ask for follow patterns and do not allow students make their own discovers. We can see this problem not only in arts subject, in all of them. I Remember, when I was in my last school year, that a classmate and I, where solving maths exercises, and we found a new way to solve them and we told our teacher about what we have done. Obviously, she told us that, even if the result of the exercise was good, if we haven’t follow her method the exercise was bad and in the test she was going to graded it bad ‘cause we haven’t follow her rule. I can’t understand, how schools teach old methods, if the world is asking for develop the children’s creativity and critical thinking and what they are doing now is avoid that our children develop those concepts. "WE HAVE A LOT TO DO, WHEN WE BECOME A TEACHER!!"

"My Favourite Website"

This is my favourite website “wordreference”, maybe you are going to say to me that an on-line dictionary is not such an interesting website but it really helps me, and I will tell you why?!

First of all, I found this website through a teacher that we had in our first year of University, Called Andrea Casals. She gave us a list with many useful pages, and among all of them, was wordreference. I tend to visit Wordreference like twice a day or as much three times a day.

I like this site ‘cause is a fast way to find words that I don’t know. The thing is that I am not good at looking for words in the dictionary, I got lost among all those letters, really!! J And what’s the best thing of all; it is that you don’t spend too much time looking for words in each page!! That’s a wonderful thing!! Thanks god we have this technology that nowadays make easier our life.

Thinking about being the same without wordreference, I think, that I would be the same BUT with less time to spend, sharing with my friends and family, ‘cause instead of being with them, I should bee sitting in a chair, looking for words in an old, heavy and with an smell of damp. That’s not really cool!!

....Shipwrecking in the Internet....

China claims Dalai Lama ready to foment violence and mount suicide attacks

The Chinese government has been accusing Dalai Lama and his supporters of all the violent protest that have been taking place in Lhasa, china.

All this trouble started when the security chief of Beijing uncovered hundreds of guns, explosives and bullets in their monasteries. The chief said that this entire arsenal will increase the violence within the conflict between the government and the Tibetan in exile. One of the supporters of Dalai Lama (and he is also in exile) said that, instead of continuous talking about the suicides plots and the way how monks have been reacting, they should focused on in why Tibetans feel resentful against the Chinese government and what they can do in order to stop all the riot, the toll and all the damage that this conflict has made into the society.
