English is undoubtedly one of the most popular languages around the world, in Asia, Africa, Europe, Oceania and America. The ability to speak English opens the doors to the world, is a requirement to leave our country, Chile, and it is also a very beautiful language.
The university has given us the opportunity to learn English, but I believe that I haven't learned something useful and good: if I were to speak now with a gringo I will not understand (nothing).
One of my greatest desires is to learn to speak English, but learn well. I would like to understanding what to say those who speak this language, and once understood his message, I would like to have the opportunity to respond, that is, I like to interact with them, so that both of us we could learn.
When I listen recordings of speakers of English I understand very little, and this has me somewhat worried, because I have studied this language by ten years aproximately and it seems that I don't progress, quite the contrary, seems to step back in my learning. I hope not to be a hopeless and learn this language some day.
But I think not just me who has trouble with English, many of my classmates also. When it comes to evaluations, we all get very nervous, and this produces the results of our assessments are not the best. What can we do to learn English? I know that we are completing this course, but I think it is worth saying that one of the important things to learning English is to feel an interest for the language.
We may conclude that English is a necessary tool for logara out into the world and become better professionals, but we must devote much time and effort, since it is not an easy issue.
English should be considered mandatory, but to make this language should be used to learn new strategies to attract more attention to students, and to involve them more in class time. The use of techniques such as "karaoke" can help to student to learn english, a complicated language for us.

Blog VII: Free Post: Music, my guitar and me.
When I was 16 years old, I recieved a beautiful present: my brother gave me a guitar! Wow, it was a very important moment for me, because I love music and guitars.
When I have time to play guitar, I try to feel the sound, I enjoy it. The problem is when I can’t play my guitar, for differents reasons: visits for example, or when somebody has a big headache in my house: I should resist the temptation!!!!.
The first song that I learned to play in my guitar was “Solo crees por primera vez”, a song of Lucybell, my favourite chilean band. I remember that it was in a afternoon of November (or December... I can’t remember very good). The idea is that it was at the end of year, a special day.
Play guitar is very difficult, overall because I have never had classes of guitar (sad :( ).
Who invented the guitar?
The guitar is a stringed instrument like any other, but it seems that it has no definite origin. The guitar is played around the world and different musical styles have born of this instrument, as folk music, pop, rock, cuecas, including cumbia! Who has not seen a guitar in a show? It is practically impossible to think that a guitar is not used in a presentation.
Guitars are very special. I think it is the most used instrument in the world. Although I like other instruments like the accordion, violin, piano, my guitar is my favorite.

Blog VI: Brain and Learning
Hello, this time I will speak about Pedro Maldonado`s talk:
Last Tuesday, we had the oportunity to be in a important presentation for our lifes, I speak about myths of brain, a very interesting topic for the world. One of the parts more important for me was when the expositor, Dr. Pedro Maldonado, spoke about “specials powers” of the brain. Sadly, he did a very short reference about it. I remember that he was trying to explain one neuromyths: we only use the 10% of our brain, and the 90 % is a “mistery”. If we use this 90%, we can develop special powers.
Wow!!!, can you imagine your brain with speacial powers???????? For example, telepathy... I can`t, It is too good for be true.
I have read about people that say have this powers, and makes videos to demostrate it, shows, etc., only to give a surprises to people.
In my opinion, I think that we have this powers. The problem is that we don't develop this capacity. I think that we can use it, but we, as human, are incomplete. We should be best everyday, thinking that we can use this capacities for help the world.
Other myth is about famale and male brain... do you think that brain between men and women is different? The answer is negative. Brain is the same in men and women, but always we have thought the opposite. Afortunatly, men and women have the same brain... Can you imagine different brains between women and men?
