An opportunity to learn

The blogs in this subject was a primordial tool to learn more about English language.  The blogs help me in redaction and new words in this idiom. And now a can write most quickly than when I began this course. For the other hand, this activity we keep together in time that we had not class,  the blogs made me practice every weeks and for this reason I did not forget the practice English frequently is relevant to learn. Although, when we make the blogs in class was great because, in the university, we can ask to Miss Clara if we had some question about the topic, word, redaction or orthography.

I think that a way to this activity will be best, is that the blogs should be homework and the next week in class this should be revised in group, to learn about our mistakes. This way, we will think about our redaction too. And I think the possibles topic can be our relations in the university, with friends, partners, teachers, etc.

Finally, I believe that this blogs are good way to our teacher, she can evaluate us best, because internet is quickly, easy to use, is in all places and is not so uncomfortable like the papers.  So, is good to teacher, to us and to our planet, because the trees are not cut to make papers.

The teachers are important

Hi, today I will write about the time that I feel I most learned English. This is happened when I was fourteen years old and a new teacher came to my school, she was an old woman, in fact, she was retiree, but she wanted help to my school and she accepted the job.

In my school, learn English was not a priority, and the English subject has been bad, but that year all change in our foreign vocabulary. I think that the few verbs and conjugations that I know, I learned in that time.  This great teacher named Elizabeth was really exigent and strict, although she was a sweet person too. Miss Elizabeth made us repeat the verbs in all tenses again and again; this was the first time that the pronunciation was important.  We learned about regular and irregular verbs, the tenses of the verbs, give indications to other person, was the first time that we had a conversation in English, and other things that I do not remember now.

I believe that the most important was not all this that I wrote, the really important was that Miss Elizabeth show us that the English language was a relevant tool to our future.

Lolo Pelusa

Hi! I want talk about a recital that I went. This is special cause was not conventional, was a parody of Lollapalooza, was a recital with popular Chilean bands, its name was Lolo Pelusa. Host was “Pelao Rodrigo”, he is the host radio “Carolina”, was humorist Paty Cofré wearing a punk costume and Chilean bands as Villa Cariño, Santa Feria and Juana Fe, they play cumbia music. I do not listen to type of music usually, but I like that the recital was really popular. This recital was made in September 2011 in La Florida, in front of Mall Florida Center, and I went with my boyfriend and his sister. My favorite band of the Lolo Pelusa was Villa Cariño and some of his songs are (written in English…) Prisoner, For sleep with you again and Clandestine.  This was a great recital but something was not good, for example, there was not a place to parking, we waited a long time before access to recital place and the show was in a tent so poor, although the beverages was inexpensive. This is the unique time that was making Lolo Pelusa and I hope that are made more events that remind us the most popular of our country.

Mysterious dreams

One thing that I like of psychology is the true is not unique, is not an exact science, therefore the wise, for approach to study object, is always subjective. In this case, the dreams are more important to some theoretical approaches than to others. For example, psychoanalysis considers to dreams like very important symptoms of the unconscious; but, I would consider that mean to the patient, Why is relevant the dream for his? So, I think that is more important the interpretation of the person than his unconscious.

Well, this is I think like psychologist, scientifically; however, like a person without scientific responsibility, I think is perfectly possible that dreams shows paranormal happenings, as the future, a warning, or spirits presence. Once, I was sleep and I felt myself falling abruptly, I got up and I breathed quickly. Later, came my cousin at my home, he was in an accident! A car hit him when he went to job on bicycle and this happened at the same time that I felt the hit.

Juridical psychology

My favorite subject is Juridical psychology in this term.  When we are in third grade of psychology, we have subjects about psychology areas to work; one of these is Juridical psychology.

Before taking this subject, I did not know the area that I will work, but since my first class of juridical psychology that I cannot think about work in another area, it was like falling in love.

For now, classes are expository principally. Although I hope that the next subjects of this area will be more dynamics.

Some topics that we review are: juridical psychology origins, links with other disciplines, victimology, criminological theories, violence perspectives, reparative interventions, and politics about children, penitentiary and victimology.

In juridical psychology, we are evaluated on two test, a report about oral trial that we see previously, and an article about interesting topic of this area.

The teachers are really good, they are great exponents in juridical psychology area, and they are very inspiring for me. Also, assistant of this subject is one of my best friends and we ever talk about happen in the course in this semester. 

Happy Family

This is my favorite photograph, I always call it The Happy Family photo, because we see smiling and as a united family.

My friend Marianella took this photo, she is in fourth grade of psychology. We were in a water pool in Pirque; she went with her boyfriend and I went with my boyfriend and our daughter, in January of 2012.

The photo shows, of left to right, to me, my daughter and my boyfriend.  We were walking near of the water pool, well… at that time my daughter did not walk, because she was only nine months.     

I really like this photo, first, cause when Marianella took it, we did not know that she was took it, the happiness in the photo is totally natural. Second, I appear as a sexy and relaxed mother. The next reason is my little Antonia, in the photo she appeared really little; she is a beautiful girl now, so see her when she was a little baby is very tender. And finally, I like so much that we appear together, I am in love with my boyfriend, this photo is one in many family photos and I hope that we will take more photos like this.

I admire...

I don't know if I have a person that admire, but I should say that I have a teacher who I appreciate. Her name is María Isabel Salinas, she is a good educator, but what I like the most about her is the passion to the juridical psychology. She make me love this area of  psychology, and I defined my preferences. María Isabel Salinas is a psychologist and she has a PhD in clinical psychology, she has worked in center of reparation of SENAME, in investigations of the PDI, she has been head of the center of assistance to victims of sexual crimes and violent crimes (CAVAS), and she received an award to the "Contribution in teaching field and investigation of the Juridical Psychology in Chile". It was given to her by the Chilean Association of Juridical Psychology. I want to be a great professional like her.
