Education



Education
Yes good education it’s a right because everyone most have the opportunity to learn, and education help people to have equal opportunities and a better life.
Chile has a bad education in comparison with develop countries like USA or New Zealand; it’s a sad reality but is a truth that we have to understand if we want to improve our country, first we need to solve the problem with the teachers because in public school it’s very difficult to fire a bad teacher because the big debt that the state have with the teachers, also we have to make a more efficient and hard system for teach the teachers, because in this moment the teachers in school aren’t the best, and this can’t continue anymore, the teacher would have to be the best and only the best, and we need to change the public opinion for this job because the teacher are the foundation for a great country, and in this moment being a teacher is just a job, and a job that pays almost nothing.
Another big issue it’s about the huge difference between private school and public schools, I think in this moment we couldn’t have a bigger gap, so this can only improve from now on.
I think have a very lucky personal history because I had the luck to study in a descent school with excellent teachers and also have a great family, and that make a lot more easier the way from school to college, I really wish everyone can have the same opportunity but for now we are really far from that, I really don’t know what are the ideas of the new govern, I hope they gonna take the rights decisions.

Point Break


I love movies, and that makes very difficult to me to choice only one of them, I think I’ll be unfair with all the other movies I like to talk only about one. So I choice a really fun and interesting movie but I can’t say it’s really my favorite his name is “Point Break” a movie from 1991 directed by Kathryn Bigelow a director today very popular because her good presentation in the Oscar award with his last movie “The Hurt Locker”, but in 1991 it was a average director, and the principal character Keanu Reeves was just one of the lot, and this exact movie help him for make the big step to the “big leagues” in Hollywood. Now back to the movie itself it’s a story about 2 agents of the FBY trying to catch a group of bank robbers, I know it sound just like other hundred movies but it’s very different, the most powerful reasons I think it’s the surf, the surf appears in all the movie and make it very original and fresh in 1991 and still in ours days, the movie explain the surf philosophy and show and other way of life of seeing the world, the movie it’s full of images of the sea and the practice of this wonderful sport and also some moments of parachuting, also it’s amazing in the story the weird thought that produce in the audience, it’s impossible not to understand a little the gang of robbers and his passion for the sea. I saw the movie for the first time like 2 years ago in television and I see it because my father told me about the fascination he feel for it. I forget to mention another of the reason that makes interesting “point break” is the direction of Kathryn Bigelow because always we associate action movie with men but this movie it’s maybe the best action movie I saw and a woman direct it.

P.S: like a bonus the movie has the best foot persecution I ever saw.

BBC Learning English

I think the website it’s very interesting for people who want to learn English, it really help because teach English in a fun way, with different news and games. It has information for all kind of taste, like news about politics, economy and stuff, and also have a lot of games very useful for learning faster and effortless.
I think this way of teach must be adopted everywhere because that allowed to everyone to learn, also it’s really amazing that everything in the website it’s for free, in many other sites this will be for money, it’s nice to see such a good system for learning a language in exchange for nothing, in a country like ours this kind of ideas are very limited.
Finally I like to say that I have a real good time reading news of my interest like the one about the manager of the sex pistols. I hope this kind of projects will spread around the world for learning different language easily.
