MY BLOGGING EXPERIENCE




What I liked?

I liked so much this activity, because we can learn more about our classmates, their favorites things, singers, places, idols etc. In addition doing corrections of the post of another classmate I realised of my English level. I liked that every week we have to post something, to learn English is very important the continuity and never to forget to practice.

What I didn´t like?

First, I didn’t like the timetable of the class because after lunch I fell asleep, and Is impossible to me to write a lot of word in my blog. Second, I didn’t like the classroom, because the computers were not enough for the students and always were problems with internet or anything.

What helped me learn English?

The things that helped me to learn English was the funny way, reporting things what I like, and showing to my friends my favorite places, songs, famous person, and my decision to study geography. And I enjoy visiting the BBC website I could learn many vocabulary and all was so funny with puzzles, riddles and much more.

My favourite post

My favourite post was My favourite place in Chile, because I can show to my class mate the wonderful places, and secrets, the beach with the biggest waves in the island and the lagoon were I played kayak. I loved the post which you can report your interest and allow know the interests of the other people.

My least favourite post?

My least favourite post was the post about Why? Why? Why? Because I couldn´t come to the class and I have to do it in my house and was boring write the post alone, because when you are with your friends posting you can interchange opinions and make questions.


Which is the best blog in the class?

I think that the best blog in the class is the blog of Natalia called “Kúmelkayen” that means Patience, something that Naty needs in TONS. I liked this blog because have funny pictures and colours. The posts are very good written and have a little bit of humor.

Review and Correct a Post


The Geography (original)

Well I’m student of geography of the University of Chile. My history with geography begun when I did the PSU test and my percentage I do not reach for study I like in this moment, history. My second option was geography however I don’t regret.

In the University I studied for four year and the next year I have that work of geographer and I look forward working in that I like. Physical geography for example.

In this years the principal subject that I have liked are they that deal this items, the nature, and the evolution of the earth and the principal feature of the surface.

Well I look forward working in these items in ten years like an all professional. Dedicated to use my knowledge and tools for do something in this planet.

The geographers have the necessary tools to make public to world how our planet suffers today. The geographers around world are silent for the disasters that have lot countries in the world in special Africa, American central and countries Asian.

The geographers have given to politicians the administration of the natural resource and they lost environmental north.

In conclusion the Earth died and the geographers have mush to do.

Correction

Well I’m student of geography of the University of Chile. My history with geography beginning when I did the PSU test and my score was insufficient for study what I like in this moment, history. My second option was geography however I don’t regret.

In the University I studied for four years and the next year I have to work like a geographer and I hope to work in something I like; Physical geography for example.

In this years the principal subject that I liked are linked to the nature, and the evolution of the earth and the principal feature of the surface.

Well I hope to work in these items in ten years like a complete professional. Dedicated to use my knowledge and tools for do something in this planet.

The geographers have the necessary tools to make public to world how our planet suffers today. The geographers around the world are silent for the disasters that have a lot countries in the world in special Africa, Central American and Asian Countries.

The geographers have given to politicians the administration of the natural resource and they lost environmental north.

In conclusion the Earth died and the geographers have much mush to do.


Why Why Why?


Why are you studying Geography?

Sincerily I didn´t know what was Geography, In 2005 I preffered study Anthropology but my score in PSU was no enough, so I search this chance, in the first semester the subjects incluided Sociology and Anthropology and then I chose Geography.

Why did you decide to study Geography?

When the time was passing while I hope the year ends soon to chose another carreer, Geopraphy shows me its capacity of watch the Earth with a new perspective, looking the space where we live and its complexity.

What will you be doing (professionally) in 10 years time?

I think I will be working in some organism linked to Conservation of Environment or extinction species, something linked to nature. Maybe, preventing natural threats, natural risk. But, If my wishes come true I will be in another place, studying and investigating for apply my knowledge in Chile later.

How can geographers help save the planet?

I think that the only way to save the planet from our discipline is making conscience of the damage caused by the economic activities. Making expositions and showing the terrible effects of the abuse of Natural Resources.

What tools will the geographer of the future need to have?

I think that the best tool of a geographer is its "eyes" and the analysis that will do with the observations. The best quality of a geographer is the capacity of associate the objects is his observations, and see them like a little part of a big system. Now, viewing this question from the techonologic development for a geographer is indispensable know about GIS.

What is your favourite subject?
My favourite subject at the moment is Soil`s Geography, but I always change.
