ENGLISH LANGUAGE CHALLENGES

The challenges are plotted in the learning process are different. No they fulfilled many of them, but deliver the ability to create new projects. For example take an English course in an institution. The importance of language management is a major challenge, which was oriented to study in depth and improve all weaknesses in relation to the attitudes and skills that are not managed properly. It is part of the challenges internalize new ways of understanding the world beyond political worldviews that govern my personality structure. These structures largely confined me, do not allow an adequate approach to the understanding of the foreign language. It is also important to enhance and project the ability to dump all reading in English, reading in general do in Spanish. Writing is also a possibility of approach to practice English because writing somehow embodies the world of ideas, ideas that are only in the imagination of everyone speechless. There is no doubt that writing would be the last moment of realization in the approach that I plan to do with English. Finally the game play and do daily activities in English, make the necessary translations of the activities to as a child, play and plan everything in English would be a final output to the learning process that I plan out next year.  

Finally surrender to the strange world of English. A stranger to me, a world of new possibilities for learning and understanding of my personality and social reality in which I live world.

thanks.

Reflections

In the process of entering a new place, where knowledge of a strange, foreign leguaje delivered with very different signs. It is a very complex scenario for a person who does not have sufficient tools to deal with that reality.
The first experiences on stage learning are contradictory; many ways to understand more things my show, no meanings, definitions and varied meanings. Dreams and understandings of the world compressed into new things that can be grouped everything and yet nothing.
I did not know how to explain and understand all things, as associate sounds with things and his way of pronunciation, vocabulary diverse and compact.There is a strong distance with the form, meaning, sound, experience in the interpretations of life, in that other language.
There are many more things that I can not assimilate, they are multiple conflicts that came about not having an experience with English. When I was a child I had no proximity to the English, there was always the possibility of not study him alone until now, until this lifetime, I have come to see him in front of me and I can not hide.
The experience is complex, I could not find resources in my life story for the challenge. Improvisation was not enough, there was no knowledge on the box where resources are stored. What to do? I had no choice, had to train and memorize things that made no sense.

It was a dark night, a night that never ends.

Funny situations

In my life I have gone through countless funny situations; I forget things, disrupted meetings, I have fallen accidentally on other people and many more things that can be fun. I will tell, one that may be more significant. In a summer when there was not much to do with a group of friends we left the city at a place called St. Cyprian, is about four hours away. It is a very beautiful and suitable for relaxation. When we reached the small town where campsite areas are, we hired a guide to the area and took us to places where he could sleep and have a memorable weekend. We settled and each decorated his shop, while the sun went to sleep and woke to accompany the moon at night. When everything was ready, we prepare dinner and share very happily. At the end of dinner, we went to sleep. A few minutes later I heard someone walking out of my store, I went to see who it was, but I saw nothing. This happened for several hours, until the fear left me completely frozen. Only heard the sound of footsteps outside my place. For a moment I left forces and take full of courage when I saw nothing screamed and ran in all directions, who wanted to catch the sound but found no one.
Returning all my friends were laughing, because I had played a joke, I had always said that he had no fear of anything, but tonight I felt Largest fear of my life. After realizing what had happened, I laughed to mourn. It was undoubtedly a night I'll never forget, terror and lots of laughter. Something fun.

HOW GREEN ARE YOU?

HOW GREEN ARE YOU?

Well, how green I am? My practice in this subject are really few. Just I am doing some green things when I feel fit. You could make a list of activities or initiatives that I have done:

• Separate waste by material.
• Sow plants and trees.
• Leave waste in suitable places.
• Participate in group learning activities in waste management.

Generally these would be some things I could do to be a little green in my practice. These activities are few and very few in relation to the years that I have now. I wish I could be more active or activist in the care of nature in general, watch wildlife, pets, or animals living in the street. I'm not violent with the animals, but I want to be in solidarity with them. I think that nature is a public good, which care little. Some time ago, I met a couple of planters plants in urban areas, I did very interested in gardens; They planted all kinds of plants, fruit, citrus, vegetables. They are a people living doing this work and contributing much to the care of nature. After that experience I planted in my house four floors which give them care and hope to see them grow and feel good. It is also a personal exercise to perform more activities as mentioned and teach more people about the topic.

My Passion

My Passion

My passion is storytelling, there is nothing that excites me as much as that. Longtime storytelling is something that brings me to a parallel dumb, where emotions are all that can be. I have not had another experience like only when you consume some substance there my senses. Storytelling is for me a medicine that cures the ailments. It is a passion, as when a football player shouts to convert a point. It's like to feel the adrenaline in my body, which sometimes feel the breath is terminated and you can not take in more air, because the ideas are flying. I can be without food, sex, sleep, but I can not spend weeks without storytelling.  It is something that allows me to unleash my energy and share to others, not only energy, also love, imagination, creativity, dreams.  There are many possibilities that can be developed being on stage acting. I wonder if   You tell stories how long?    You might respond that since childhood, when my grandfather sat telling stories of all kinds; Animals, dreams, travel, lies. Since that time I tell what I read, I hear and imagine with great passion.  Thank you for reading.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            

MY FUTURE JOB

MY FUTURE JOB

My future field job is cultural sociology. This work is related to the social investigation of cultural practices. Today as I make this work. It is an occupation of artistic director. En ese trabajo investigo las escenas teatrales y las cosas que pasan en la sociedad. Esa relación compone las obras artísticas. Cultural sociology brings scientific knowledge to empirical questions that can not be solved with intuition. An example of this is the play "home cooking" a play where dancers, actors, musicians and images tell the things that happen in a family everyday. This play is the complementation of a cultural sociology of domestic ritual practices of plastic and scenic community of modern art. Characters, images, dancers, music and musicians are directed by the author who in scene is represented by a Marxist sociologist, criticizing the incorporation of modern habits in the traditional cuisine of the Chus family. This relationship between society and science is therefore my future job. Working in conducting social research on cultural practices. Write books about the importance of art and its social responsibility. Dance as a means of growth and learning the history of mankind. These and other things are what make my job. 

In summer

Summer holidays; I will make a trip to the city of Colombia. The main reason is to share with my family. Preparations are already underway, working to save money, I check the prices of short trips that effected, overland road. Also important are gifts for friends and family. Family gifts be, wine and decorative items, for friends, small presents that were delivered with much love. Other motivations and things of the city; Cali es una ciudad que tiene 2.423.000 habitantes, es conocida como la capital de la salsa. Cali, officially Santiago de Cali, is the capital of Valle del Cauca, is the third largest city in Colombia. It is located in the southern region of Valle del Cauca, between the western mountains and the central Andes. The city is part of the Metropolitan Area of Cali, along with the municipalities adjacent to it. It was founded on July 25, 1536 by Sebastian de Belalcazar, making it one of the oldest cities in America. 

These and other more things, make it stronger motivation to go to my hometown in the summer.

 

The Best Concert of my life

In local festivals in the city where I was born. There is a concert that is named Super Concert. In 1996, when I was 19, I attended the concert, which was the best of my life. Because it was?

San Basilio de Palenque

It is not a big city, or a well-known place but San Basilio de Palenque is a locality of the municipality of Mahates, in the department of Bolivar, Colombia. In San Basilio de Palenque are Africans who escaped at the time of conquest or colony and there are some traditions are still preserved the language, food, dance, and culture.

The music on drums, dances and singers is what most caught my attention. This mansard is located in the foothills of the Montes de María (hills tienne also one Canicón to rate bullerengue), 50 km from the city of Cartagena. It has a population of about 3,500 people; As a township does not have economic autonomy, or administrative.

Hya reiterate that the place was founded by escaped slaves mainly from Cartagena in the sixteenth century and released by Benkos Bioho. The word "arena" refers to the fences erected by the runaway black slaves during the colonial era, to take refuge from his pursuers.

The name of St. Basil, is an arena founded in the seventeenth century by a group of Maroons, under the command of Dominic Biohó, aka, they fled to regain their freedom. The story of the saint of the village (St. Basil), the sculpture was being transported to the town of St. Augustine of white beach, in the passage through the arena got stuck and it was impossible to remove the mud, for palenqueros was an omen and adopted the saint, as the saint of the village.

The isolation has allowed them to keep the majority of African cultural traditions in Colombia (music, medical practices, social organization and cultural rites) have developed a Creole, a mixture of Spanish and the indigenous African languages ​​(Palenquero). Because of its unique characteristics in its history, training, culture and language, Palenque has been declared by UNESCO as intangible cultural heritage. For these descriptions and learn more about my country's own cultures, it is important nobre and propose this theme tarball Colombian place.

The salsa music

this genre is a way of talking about American society center. this genre born from various rhythms fucionde, is in essence the result of several elements that spice what is now known as salsa. with African musical influences, Puerto Rican, Venezuelan, Cuban, Jamaican, Brazilian, Dominican and Colombian with other elements of Caribbean music, jazz and Latin American music, especially Afro-Cuban jazz and Brazilian jazz]. The sauce was developed by musicians of origin "Hispanic" in the Greater Caribbean and the city of New York. The sauce includes several styles like salsa dura, salsa romantica and timba.

The history of salsa, which was attended by many musicians, can be traced to some extent in the course of some major record companies. In the seventies Party Record, Recording Company Manhattan, especially Fania Records, launched to stardom a lot of "salseros" from New York, touring and concerts worldwide.

Fania was founded in March 1964 by lawyer and businessman Jerry Masucci and the Dominican flutist and bandleader Johnny Pacheco. Fania began with Larry Harlow and manufacture El Malo Willie Colon and the "Singer of the Singers" Hector Lavoe in 1967.

Fania Records gave the final gender to record and distribute the disks of most of the salsa stars of the seventies accolade. The Fania All Stars orchestra, which brought a lot of salsa musicians and singers as Ray Barretto, Willie Colon, Johnny Pacheco, Ruben Blades, Hector Lavoe, Ismael Miranda, Cheo Feliciano, Bobby Cruz, and guest artists as Tito Puente, Celia Cruz, and Eddie Palmieri.

A picture and its story

One of the most reproduced photographs that I like and it is titled "Lunch atop a Skyscraper" (lunch on top of a skyscraper). This popular photograph was taken by American photographer Charlie Clyde Ebbets. It was part of a report he made to denounce the precarious security conditions were the workers of the skyscrapers that were built in the area of the Rockefeller Center in New York in the 30s.

The image was taken on 29 September 1932 and not published until October 2 photography in a supplement of the New York Herald Tribune. The construction that were conducting these workers is the GE Building Building of 259 meters and 70 floors, today is the seventh highest in the city.

Besides why cualas photo was taken, I think the height and freedom where people are is a meaningful picture of the time, just before the Great Depression.

Two films a comment

 The first film is "Dogville".  It is a 2003 film directed by Lars von Trier and starring Nicole Kidman. To sit and eat popcom, during dodo one days

It is a good movie, for those who have lived the theater. 

Shor Sinopsis

The film is set in a town called Dogville in Colorado, United States, during the years of depression. There will stop Grace, a beautiful woman, good-natured, played by Nicole Kidman, who flees from a way of life that seems perverse. The fact that Grace is pursued by the 'justice' is given. Tom Edison, a young aspiring writer failed philosopher, meets Grace and proposes him to hide in the village. Convinces the rest of neighbors with a moralistic rhetoric, and gives them the opportunity to get rid of Grace in two weeks if any of them do not accept the new situation. This will be the turning point at the beginning of the film and which depends the fate of all its inhabitants. Dogville is portraying each of its inhabitants and its relationship with the newcomer. 

I recommend that movie to see, we must be very quiet, it has a duration of 2.95 hours. you can press to view a summary of the film.

The second film, It has the name Machete Kills. It is an American action movie genre, 2013. It was released as a sequel to the film and start of the saga Machete. It is a very bad movie, pesima production. es totalmente no recomendable. 

Cuban and Ecuadorian immigrants fill medical gap in Chile

The article, is discussed the need to cover more profecionales spaces. In the current Chilean stage, health is a growing need, allowing the arrival of prefesional immigration to the country. The deficit of professionals of health, profecionales makes mention of the countries interested to come to offer their expertise, which he says are well qualified article. Socially migration is a positive factor in companies with a history of strong authoritarianism as the Chilean case. The socio-cultural integration is a variable that allows reflection on social issues that are closed, not treated as nationalism, exclusion, xenophobia and other practices not made visible when migration from outside to inside increases. For the medical sector, it becomes stronger as it represents a professional dimension. This professional dimension (doctors) apparently in Chile tends to grow less than the needs of these professionals, this could explain the increase in the number of residency applications made by Cuban and Ecuadorian doctors. The findings as could be external reasons for doctors to take Chile as a course or a chance to work outside the home country. We must also ask what generates not count on a sufficient number of physicians to meet the regional needs of the nation. Questions like; Is the salary is appropriate? Study Is access allowed to have an adequate number of graduates? Let think further discussions on the issue, not related by migration, but the question, Where are the medical graduates of the universities offering this degree? And ¿what are the motivations to study medicine in Chile?

Cuban and Ecuadorian immigrants fill medical gap in Chile 

The Copa América a distinct look

It is a very important sporting event, because lets see beyond football. Socialmete sporting teams and represent their country, that makes this event important. The way to play, individual exercises, group show somehow differentiating cultural practices.

Importantly, it opined in this blog. 

It represents a general observation of various sizes that can be treated one by one in subsequent publications.

The development of the Copa America is analyzed from the field and not from the fans (hincha). 

Each of the players committed their physical, technical and social potential in the field. The goalkeeper, defender, striker appeared with his life story, their origin, their culture. This last element is used to describe, according to the culture where the player comes, likewise is the style of individual play and group formation (style of play). Without going into precise detail of countries, and styles of play, we can see that there is more open and more closed or shyer strategies to cope when a football match.

The culture show that some countries have happier practices, facilitate the identification of a dance on the court, others are presented with strength and physical contact causing the other to feel the body estrangement rose.

Elements on the court that relate to the social life and the social system, allow collective and individual behaviors explain why it refer to a society where some major actions result may well be that other. Chile showed such a change and stage process, with high and low, individuality, commitment and passion to come out winners.You could say that reveals the need for teamwork, passion for social processes with real commitments and collective needs. This belongs to formal studies may be representative of society and not this view in the pots.
