We’re thirsty

Hello Today I want to talk about a special topic related to my career of Public Administration. I’ll talk about the problem of drought and water laws in the country. Is been asked to explain some changes that must be necessary to apply and find a solution of the problem of water. Let’s start by the history. Water as a fluid has been always considered as a resource, which could be exploited as the same way as cooper or steal. That means, a private could ask for the government to buy the right of use a certain amount of water and be able to take from rivers o water wells. In that way, the laws and regulations are only made to regulate how a person or an industry can use the water. By other side, in the cities there are only laws according the use of drinking water and what to do with the dirty water (specially trying to “clean” and return the water into the river to be used in the fields). So, what to do if we have problems with the water? Today the government only coul...

Talking about my Blogging Experience

Hello everyone! Today I have the opportunity of talk about the experience of writing blogs and how does it work on the learning process.  I have to say I’m not good writing personal things, not even in Spanish, because I use to be very worried about my private life. Anyway, I can (and I did) the sacrifice of trying to express the things I’ve been asked to write, as my hobby or appreciation of some specifics topics. At the time writing I started to notice some points: first: I have to admit that I know vocabulary in English but I didn’t know how to write correctly some words (thanks for the translator system that helps me to correct those words). Second. It’s not so simple to express what I’m thinking, so, be “ forced” to write help me to improve my abilities thinking and expressing in English. Third, I have to be open to make and correct mistakes and find new ways to write what I want to write. I believe should be very interesting to keep improving the experience to m...

English language challenges

I understand  Hello everyone! The idea of English-learning process as a policy in our country still, at least for me, a dream. We, as Chileans, still having the idea that learning a second language is just a four or five words and it's only matter for make ours CVs bigger. But, in the last years I have observed an interesting way. The development of tourism has forced to some people to be able to talk in at least a second language, and English seems to be a kind of "joining Language". Two people, don't matter their nationality, could find through English a way of an almost fluid communication. And that's maybe the final point of a learning process: a way of joining cultures.  I believe, if we, as a country,  want to incorporate the English in our lives, the tourism market could make a basic stone in a future two languages culture, not only with English, we also should incorporate the native languages as a cultural value. Another aspect, and that...

Improving the learning experience

Today I want to talk about how has been my experience learning English and give my opinion about the English class in my University. I must say it’s not the first time I’ve been in this kind of classes. The first time I went into a class I was 14 in an Institute. It was awful.  The teacher in that time sent us to speak at the first class and I had no idea of nothing. For a new student be sent to that kind of exercise is just cruel. Short story, I never went back. Then I started to learn by myself watching TV-series and practice with karaoke. Also reading books and magazines to improve my grammar. It was ok, and then went I first came into the university I made some test and my English was quite acceptable, also went to classes. Here, I can made some critics to the way the people learn English. By one side some classes are just “verb to be” again and again and again. By other side, some teachers try to make the students talk with no prepare and convenient ambient fo...

Working in the House of Cards

When someone says you have a free topic to talk about in a blog post, It's so hard to me to define what  I could choose to talk about. While I'm writing this  I started to thought on the people I’ll be working with in the future When we read the news, the idea of a future seems to be, for one side, very espectacular with a lot of new technologies and the opportunity of enjoy the development of mankind, but thirty seconds later I realized this world is going into a black hole without solution thanks to the ambition of power. Let’s think about what the news show us every day: a political section with a lot of people with almost no sense discussions while the real problems of the people are covered with fake smiling y and “we will do it” proposes. At the same time some governments threat others with nuclear bombs and putting the world in the line of the death and total destruction.  This idea is very depressing, and the solution seems to be not the read news, but tha...

Post-graduates studies

Hi everyone!  Today I must talk about Post-graduates studies.   At today, I think that I only want to finish the current career before to even think about taking another studies. The reason is only money, I have to pay the university credit and I need job soon to pay it. Anyway, I always could dream on taking post –graduates studies. I’m very interested about public transportation and I’ve always wanted to find the chances to study something about this subject. In that way, I found some time ago information about a post-graduate course of means of transportation, cities and technologies in the Institute for technologies of Karlsruhe, in Germany. In this course, the idea is learn about how the transportation works with theoretical models and simulations. Also they study how to manage the politics, policies and economics to design new ways of public transport, using as examples the systems of transportation in the main European cities, identifying problems...

My dream job

Hello If someone asks me which could be my dreamed job I would say I would love to be a railwayman. It’s maybe one of the most wonderful jobs ever. Think About that. You’re travelling across the country with a 2500 tons train on yours hands controlling the speed and the brakes in the locomotive, joining the cities along the railway, visiting always new places and seeing the world from a different view. If you have travelled on trains maybe you noticed that seeing the landscape from the windows is something special. Passing throw different places and maybe keeping an eye in a house, a sign, or even another person who was there just for a second while the train keep running to bringing all the passengers into their destinations. The job of the railwayman is keep sure that the train is running safe and on time, and you can be on the locomotive, in the passenger car asking for the tickets, or in a signal box working with traffic lights and switches or even as a stationmaster in...
