We have to be the best!

To begin with, I completly agree with this article. The article talk about bad teachers, they don’t have tools to be exelents in their profession; moreover, they don’t do a great job. In my case i don’t feel identified with this reality, because I studied in an exelent school. My teachers were very profesional in their jobs. They used to be exijencies and I worked very hard in school.
The responsables of this kind of teachers today are the presidents that we had years ago, because they found easy solutions to education for this country, and bad teachers have the responsability too, because they don’t know how do a great job.
I want to be a different teacher. I hope to be the best in my area, because i know the reality of the education in Chile and i want to change this situation. I’m studing in an exelent University, and we are going to be great English teachers.
The solution to this big problem is change the education, for this reason we are studing very hard. My teachers in university are exelent, so i think that we are going to be like them.
It is necesary change the style to do clases, we have to be more interactive with students. People that want study pedagogy have to be interested in education. Universities need to be selective and acept only good students in pedagogy.

BBC webpage.

I really enjoyed the BBC website; it is an excellent way to learn more vocabulary and pronunciation. "Pronunciation tips" exercises were very funny and I could learn more about the sound of English, The funniest exercise was "learning the symbols". I thought that in this page was only for news and boring things; however, you can find interesting things about all world, and funny exercises and quizzes. I found an interesting quiz about pronunciation, this is very important, because we have to practice that. I have to say that I had a really great time in the website.

Earthquake

It was a weird day, the weather was cold, and then it was hot. I arrived from Pichidangui, the day before to the earthquake, that weekend was diferent for me, i didn't go to any party; moreover, i felt very tired. The day of the earthquake i was watching a movie, this movie is called "tesis", it is an Spain movie. It is about horror. While i was watching the movie the bed started to move. I was in my cousin's house, with other cousins. and Javier said: my bed is moving. I was very relaxed, i said to others that everybody have to stay quiet. Suddenly the house started to move, i felt very scared. We stayed very quiet, some of my cousins were crying, other were praying, and I was thinking in my mother. I thought that my cousins' house could be destroyed. when the earthquake stopped, i ran away from the house and we stayed in the yard with my uncles, aunts and cousins. I tryed to call to my home; however, i couldn't talk with my mother. I slept at 7:00 a.m. and at 10:30 a.m. my mother called me, i was very happy to listen that my mom and sisters were fine.
