My performance

To me, it is always more easy the reading part, because is easiest to identify the words when they’re in a text. In this part I have 8 correct answers.

The most difficult part is the listening because it’s hard to me indentifies the words by their sound because sometimes they’re very different from the spelling.

In the vocabulary were many words that I didn’t know so I could learn a lot of new words.

I think that my performance isn’t that bad but it could be better. 

Play in education 

                  The news is about the play in education. It is a discussion, with different opinions about this topic, the principal idea is answer the question if the play is a help the teacher for the learning.

Today everybody knows the importance of play in education, for the learning and creative. The teachers usually using the play like the strategy for the children can significantly learn with their partners, so is very important for the creativity. In their homes, when they was baby explore, discover and learn across play. But the play to use more in the kindergarten and  primary school, and in the secondary education not using play because the curriculum is very formal, although some teachers use the play in secondary school, respect the curriculum. Is responsibility of teacher knows the importance of the play and use in the school.

               It is news very interesting for me, because many investigations mark than play is the learning tool most important in the first infancy and then can use the play in the secondary school, even in the University and in our life, somebody can learn across play.

               Today, the Chilean education system is very formal and boring, the child only learn of memory, for the answer test and have good mark and score in standardized test, but is necessary than learn for the life and grow as a person. It is an object of the education for me.

Books

          The true is than in this moment I don’t read anything than I like. Usually, when I am on academic period I don’t have any time for read a book or something I like, always read paper, article or books for the courses of the University, some are very interesting, but I don’t read for pleasure or hobby.

          I really like read many books, to inform or recreation, but when I am on vacation I like to read fantasy or action books. The last book I read was Harry Potter saga, The Twilight saga and Shadowhunters saga, and Beautiful Creatures saga.

   

          I like read the book, imagine the scenes and the character, and then watch the movies and compare. Always I read a book time goes fast, the book consumed me completely, the images in my mind no longer appear and my imagination fly.  

           Some years ago, I read the first book of Harry Potter (and the Philosopher`s Stone) and I read it in a week, because I spend most of the time reading, some night I don’t sleep and only stop for to eat or go to the bathroom . Now I took more time to finish reading a book because my son needs a lot of my time.

  

             For these vacations, I will want to read The Hunger Games saga, and if have time I will want read Hush Hush. 

A place in Santiago 

         Is very difficult for me choose a favorite place, because there are many places than I like  in Santiago, for example, the Supermarket, the “Parque Hogigins”, the park, the “Feria”, but I think than the place than most I like is the House of my parent.

        It may seem rare, but the true is than I live with my grandmother and grandfather, your house is a little small, it has a garden small and my room don`t has a door, so I can`t have privacy and can`t make noise in the night, for this it is very uncomfortable when I have read books or make academy works for the University. Also, I can never see my parents and I miss them.

        For this, my favorite place in Santiago is my parent’s house.  I always go with my son, because he also misses them. I like lunch with my parents, my brother and my sister, talk, laugh, and then I go to my room and sleep, watch TV or a movie, listen to music, or reset.

      I usually go every weekend, but, sometimes I don’t go because I have made many academy works I don’t have time to travel. The both houses are in Santiago, but in different communes, so take me two hours to the trip.

       The most I like of my parents house is my privacy, because always leave me alone in my room and they don’t get angry when I stay up later for read or make academy works. 

                   What make me happy?

                   Really, I have many things and moments than make me happy, I like enjoy with the simple things of the life, because I don’t know if the moments can happen again, or if the peoples can be with me for long time. For this, all the moments are very important for me.

                    Some things than make me happy are it would be with my family and friends, eat all kind of food, dance, listen to music and sleep.

                   But, if have choose one, I think than would be listen to music.

                   For me, listen to music is like a therapy, because when I am sad, the music it make me feel better, when I am angry or stressed the music it relax me, or if I am happy, the music make me dance. Sometimes I like to listen with headphones or sometimes I like to listen with megaphones, depend of my mood.

                   I like listen to music in all the moment, when I go to the University or my house in the bus, metro or when I walk.

                   The music helps me make better the thing of my house, for example, when I clean or order my room, when I have a cook or even when make the writing of reports for the University.                           Also, always the music makes me dance, so, this helps me for the exercise. The music make me very happy.

For me, this activity is entertaining. I liked answer the questions of text, but the reading part is less complicated than the listening part.  

The first and second part of reading it was a little easy than the last part (large text on courses), but can answer the most questions.

In the listening part it was very difficult and had the listen repeatedly to respond.

Finally, the last exercise of vocabulary help me to learn news words, but also it was a bit difficult for me. 

This topic is very difficult for me. The true is I`ve never thought about this, one person public or famous is not always worthy of admiration, but if a have to choose someone would be Ryan Hreljac.

 I knew him when I read a story on Internet. He was born in 1991 in Canada, when he was a child of six years his teacher told him about African and their life conditions like children of his age who die of thirst. This caught his attention and he decided to raised money to buy a water hole to Africans. After having saved enough money with his family and community, in 1999 it was built the first water hole. When he was nineteen years old he has already built 432 water hole in the  Africa continent. Today he have a foundation called “Ryan`s well” and have projects of education and built of water hole in more than sixteen countries of African Continent. 

For me he is a person very important in the world, because it has helped many African to improve their life conditions with something so basic as water. 

If a meet him some day  first I would ask him what was your main motivation to create the foundation, why he think the Africans have poor life conditions and who he can expands his foundation to more countries. 

If all people help a bit could make big changes.
