English lenguage challenges


 a) How did you like this subject at university? What about the use of blogs?

I think that learn english in the university is very nice. Even that initially there were many failings in the system, I believe that now is already and it is working very well.

I also think that the blog is a good way to learn english, and is very entertaining blogging (I had never done that before). But there are times when the topics are very boring and often cumbersome to get to write about things like that, like this topic, in english speaking about english is very boring, I think if you were talking about another topic it would be much easier to write .
I think that the blog it's so good to learn english, when we can talk about what we want i'ts more nice, and in the same time learn other lenguage. So thanks for this, because if you don't force me to do that, I was never do it.

Good and bad points.

2013:

This year it is so important for me, this is because I have some reasons for that.
For example, this is de last year of my career, if you think, we have been "educated" more than seven years in the college, and I dont talk about the pre-college, then that I started my continous education at the university, I was start in 2008, so, I have spent over 13 or 14 years educating myself in institutions.
I think is time to live other things, catch the Learned and start to live with that and with some new things that are not taught in the institutions.

Other important thing for me, it is that I went away to living alone, not alone really, because I live with 2 other persons, but this humans are not my relatives and I had never lived alone previously. And now I am in charge of my life without depending with anyone. I think this is important. And, of course, for that I have a new job, steady job, and I work with new people (before that I was work alone, with my music in a white room in where I maked chocolate, just doing chocolates without interacting with anybody.

I want to return to the previous topic, about the studies. I want to emphasize the importance of this, Also for being last year, one is forced to decide what we gonna do in the future, and I thought a lot and I think I will focus on teaching children to classes, kids or teenager. This is because I believe (thanks to the bad education that we have in Chile) I want to devote to dealing with children to try to give them as much knowledge of those that do not provide the majority of schools.


I think this year it been like an another stage, like the end on one stage and the beginning of another and I feel so good with this.

5 Gyres - Garbage islands.

Probably not many people think where it is going to stop our garbage beyond the dumps of garbage, I don't know really where are all of these garbage of the world, but I know some place in where are some garbage: in the ocean.
In our world exist five gyres of garbage product of the extent and effect of the pollution, and that are floating in our oceans, and we ignore that the most big of these "islands" are in our ocean, the Pacific ocean. The name of this gyre is The Great Pacific Garbage Patch.

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is a zone of the North Pacific ocean in where our garbage is accumulated in gyre form, this is created by the marine currents, the coordinates of this gyre are 135 º to 155º0 and 35 º to 42ºN, it has a size approximately of 1.400.000 km ². We might think that this waste is marine waste and that they come from the ships, but it is surprising that the major quantity of this waste come from the continent, and that the majority of the gyre of garbage is composed by plastic. This island of garbage is difficult to detect by means of photos satelitales and radars, this is in spite of the size and density of the "island". 

For more information I will leave these pages if you want to know more about this topic:

The Earth is not green and blue

The collective Imagination of the society created by the images, it makes us think about the Earth as a piece of land of rounded form, with blue sea and land with pieces of green and brown, and of course, his two white poles.

It is what they have showed us, the terrestrial globes, the maps, etc … they show it with these characteristics.
Today with the new technologies we can obtain photos of the Earth of high definition, and by means of the satellites we can see photographs showing places a short distance observed from the air.

On the other way, also there are images that show places that not necessarily are controlled by the man, but that show figures and colors of the nature that are unimaginable, the figures shown are nothing like what we know as a Terrestrial Globe, this pics open another possibility to imagine the entire Earth to unite all these images. Maybe some day the kids will make draws and paintings of the Earth with the true colours, and with the true form, like as in México, in that country the chilldrens paint the city on grey colour, this is because the pollution in there. 



In this pic we can see the forest felled of Madagascar:




These are farmers' fields:




This one is a petroleum explosion in Mississippi:




This is Detroit in the USA:




And this is Alaska in the USA:




This pic is a Lena's lake in Siberia:




This one is made by one Meteorite:



This is lake Natron:




This is de painted desert:




And this is de End of the desert:




This is Ebro river in Spain:




And this is one River in Senegal:





These pics show us another reality for ours colective imagination, these photos are paintings, are more that what we can imagine.
