Hi everyone, I’m going to talk about my blogging experience. I like writing in blogs but I’m not very experienced in this topic. I like the way that you can tune up your blog layout but I can’t did it in my blog… but I have always like my classmate’s blogs, they were really nice and cute. I’ve really lost some time with the fishes in the teacher’s blog

Also I like the label system ( I recently discovered it) that you can organize your post in different topics and also by pictures.

Sometimes I get confused with the names of the blogs that I follow because with the blog title you cannot identify the writer (if they were classmates or someone unknown).

The blog really improved my English because I wrote about typical things in my life and I wrote also about important people, so It make my English better. And I like that you can comment the things that other people wrote.

I didn’t like the short time that we had to write in our blogs, sometime I’ve got really inspired and the time killed my inspiration to write about interesting things. And the break time was short and in that time I’ve got really hungry so I couldn’t get earlier so it make me arrive later to the English lab. It was difficult to write when it was free topics because I’ve spend many time thinking on what I was going to write and at the end I didn’t write too much.

And the computers were slow and sometimes the internet connection were down, so we couldn’t work in our blogs. But the online translators helped me winning time when I didn’t know a word

That’s what I think about blogging.

Hi Guys!
Well, I feel really interested about study the artist expressions of our society. In sociology, this isn’t a common subject, because a lot of people thinks that this isn’t relevant to discover the under view social principles. But I think that the theater could by an interesting study object, also I really enjoy it.
Few months ago I went to watch “uñas sucias”. Today I’m going to describe one of the most important thing about it:
Luis Barrales is a Chilean playwright. He raise the subjects about marginals group in society, in particular in this country, with play like “Uñas Sucias”, “Hans Pozo”, Niñas Arañas”, “Rota”, “La Mala Clase”, and others. His works are very important for Chilean theater according to the critics.
Last year, the panel of judges of Santiago a mil, selected “uñas sucias” as the best of the 2009’s selection. This staging was directed by Raul Donoso, member of the “La Popular” theater company.
“Uñas Sucias” is originally setting in a male amateur soccer team, but the company adapted it for a female cast.
The play shows a sub 20 player group, who aspire to be promoted to a professional category, and they fight to figurate in the list, that contains five selected players by the coach.
The tension and excitation atmosphere beginning with the end of the training, when they stay locked in the dressing room and have to stay together more of the time that they wish.
Also the text explore in the female way to practice this sport, the play shows –with a Harshness view- the power relations that are established inside the team through the violent word exercise .
The text was written in 2003, and opened in the national dramaturgy exhibition of this year. It was finalist.
The “La popular” company’s proposal is relative to emphasize about the marginal environment and represent the ferocity of the group’s world visions.

Juno is one of my favorites movies. The story is about a pregnant girl, who decides to give her son in adoption. I think that this movie has good photographs, the mix of images and music is nice in Jason Reitman’s work. The most beautiful photograph is that!
It shows Juno Mac Guff, a teenager from Minesota kissing Paulie Bleeker, her friend and the father of the baby, in a baseball camp. This scene is at the last of the movie, when they decide to be together, and start again. Maybe it would be appear like a really romantic story, but sometimes it turns difficult and so untraditional; the picture shows it: Ellen Page and Michael Cera’s characters are really teenager in some of their acts, but sometimes they are so mature. Their love isn’t understood for another people, like his family or her best friend, but it doesn’t matters to Juno; she demonstrates it in this photo. This picture is taken at 2006 during the movie recording. Even it wasn’t use for advertising the film, I think that is the most representative image of this movie, because it show the fundamental argument: teenagers who doesn’t interesting to live their lives according to de social rules, Juno and Paulie could be reproach for a lot of things: the teenager pregnancy, the abort intention or the adopt option; but they decide (Juno mainly) to follow their convictions.
Also, the colors of this production are lots of my favorites: orange, yellow, green and brown. It is present even in their clothes that show a negligent style in Juno, who doesn’t care about her image and considerer the music like something really important in her life. Finally, I considerer like a nice style… I love her attitude in this photo, whit her finger rased!

One of the best days of my life


Hello everyone.
Today I´m going to talk about the best concert that I’ve gone: the Radiohead’s one, last year on March 27th in the national stadium.
There was my favorite music group with a lot of special effects, but more important with their excellent music. Although I was really busy this day because I had to do a lot of things for my classes, I went with my friends. We arrived to the place at 1 o’clock in the afternoon even though it was a really hot day, because we were very excited with the first visit of Radiohead to Chile. Although that we were there early, there were a lot of people before us, included another friend who arrives to the national stadium at 8 o’clock in the morning.
We waited about 4 hours in the street, drinking a lot of water and eating sandwiches, even talking about some songs that we really like. 15 or 20 minutes past 5 the doors were open, and all the people ran to find the best place to see the show. Although we ran faster that we can, we didn’t arrive to the beginning of the courtL. But we were in a really nice place where we looked the concert.
In this time, Radiohead played one of my favorite songs, House of cards. I was really excited, even I wanted to cry, and get loud. I felt very strange, is a combination of a good feeling and a terrible one. Went the concert ends I didn’t want to go, even though that all the people were walking out.

Hi guys!
I have to tell you that I don’t really like technological objects. In fact, I don’t have more than a cell phone and a MP3. Well, I have a laptop too, but it’s so old and doest work very well, the battery has important problems, so I don’t use it common.
The most technological item that I have had was a MP4, but it died four days later. I think that this types of objects doesn’t like me L
Actually, I conserve my 7th cell phone (I hope to live with it for a long time). It is a Nokia Xpress Music. I really like it, because is easy to use and has a lot of qualities, like an excellent system to reproduce music, it takes nice photos and always has signal, even when I go to visit my family in San Javier. Also, it has a big memory, there I save all the important things to my, like photos with my friends, their cell phone numbers and music that I enjoy. And the most important this is so light and thin, like the photo shows.
As I said before, I’m not very technological so I considerer like amazing things that to other people could be normal. For example, send archives by Bluetooth is an incredible system, that permitting to transfer documents, photos or videos to another cell free. In this way you can share your likes with friends. This is the quality that I prefer of the cell phone that my mother gives to me on last Christmas.

Hi again!

Today is the day to talk about the rice in prices of the transantiago ticket. In the last month the prices of the student ticket has rice twenty pesos: the usually $130 pesos are now $150, this is the price that you have to pay the first time that you arrive to a bus or to the subway, and you have two hours to travel in three different ways with this ticket.
But, most important to the cost that this could produce in every people who use this transport method, is the advertising campaign that the government impulse before, to justify the rice in the ticket prices. Since Wednesday or Tuesday of the last week, diaries publish notices relatives to the boom the evaders that affect the system, that were agree to the information divulge to the most important TV medias, that are related with the right government. In this way, the authority avoids the responsibility of the wrong accomplishment of the transport system and they maintain the images of efficiency that is based the government. The advertising campaign pretends to accuse the evaders like the blame of a structural failure that consist in an implementation problem and difficultly could be resolve quickly.
The big truth is that the transantiago is a destabilize system, so the solution isn’t the public resources injection, that’s the reason of continues rice of the transport ticket.

I really like Habermas’s work. Really I don´t admire his theory, but I think that is interesting to make different critics or sometimes be agree in some points.
He is a sociologist and philosopher from Germany, who born in 1929. Also, he studied psychology, history, economy and literature. His work is based on the historic materialism reconstruction. So is an interesting answer for some problems of the Marx’s theory, specifically about the distance of the technical progress and the human emancipation: he tries to make a hypothesis about the growing social domination despite de technological innovations. In this way, he introduces another dimension to the praxis: symbolic interaction
I like Habermas’s work, because is a complete attempt to enlarge the most important modern theory about society: the historic materialism. For this, he star with an analysis of the social action, and introduce a new concept: the communicative action.
But I think that sometimes his approach is distance to the origin with his communicative action theory. There, this author constructs his ideas based in languages studies. So, is easy to confuse what is the connection with his critic to the historical materialism.
