EDUCATION


The thing that caught my attention was about the test that students do. They don’t have the points to reach the minimum level. I really believe that it is not a problem with the students.

There are some teachers, as the article said, that do not have the property way to teach their students. Some of them are just in the classroom to watch their student and to maintain the order. In my case I had a lot of good teachers that taught me a lot of useful things that I will never forget. I remember that my first English teacher used to show us a lot of pictures and we had to describe the entire photo. But I had some bad teachers too that did not teach me anything at all. My Math teacher used to read the newspaper in class and we did not learn anything. The problem with that teacher was that when he took the test to evaluate him he got the high level in the school and I did not why!

I would like to be an excellent teacher. The most important thing in the education is that our students need to learn meanwhile they are learning and they have to have a critical thinking. I think that if we are not able to do that we will not be successful teachers.

Right now I’m not taking action in what I have to do to be a teacher. I mean I know I have to read a lot about education, but the only thing I’m doing is studying English to get good marks.

I think that our country needs a lot of thing to improve education. The government has to take control in the school which has the lowest level of teachers and the universities that allow students without the PSU have to be more cautious. The most important thing is that there are some students who are studying pedagogy just because they did not have the enough points in the PSU. Those students do not know that being a teacher is more than that.

BBC Website


The page that our teacher gave us is wonderful! I have visited the page before and I think is a great page to learn English and read news from the world, even news about our country.

The best part of the page is the wordmaster. It is a great exercise to learn new words and know how to pronounce them. There are a lot of words that I ignored, but now I know they exist.

One of the most interesting parts of the website is where we can read news from Chile and the world in general.

I really enjoyed the crosswords. I could not do the crossword in the lab because the computer and the internet did not work. I did it in my computer at home and I completed all the crossword about The Beatles (that is my favorite English band).

To finish, I could say I enjoyed all the things about the page miss Beatriz gave us. It is a good way to learn and having fun at the same time.
