My special Place

When I grow up I want to be like…

2009-08-19T13:32:00.000-07:00

The 80’s and 90’s television made us dream that someday We would be superheroes. When I grow up I want to be like… Superman. But at the end, We finished being doctors, teachers, engineers…

With the evolution of TV programs and society, the dreams of youth have changed; girls want to be models, actresses or singers; boys, soccer players, basket, or any other sport.

Young people no longer want to enter in professions that have to do with numbers, concepts, or with analysis of situations; They only think about celebrations, fun, fashion and “the easy money”. With this problematic, a great generational breach was opened and causes that many parents don’t know how to act. If We leave them, who will construct buildings, bridges, software and will cure patients? If We try to guide them, We are taking away their freedom to decide about their future. Then, what can We do?

My Chilhood

About my childhood I can say that It was wonderful.

I went to kindergarten from 2 years, but I escaped because the School was next to my house…For this, my parents had to change me at “Los amiguitos” School.

After I studied in the “Escuela No. 76 para niñas” my elementary school. In this, I participed in most of cultural events with costumes, dances and things like that.

In the School, I liked math, art, phisycal education and computers but I hated social studies, it was boring.

I was in dances course in the Cajacopi; for this I was in the Grancentro’s inauguration. I was very nervous because there were a lot of people there, but It was wonderful.

I played with my neighbors to hide-and-see, jazzes, beauty contest, little school and I was a teacher, but now I don’t like to be teacher… When it was raining in my neighborhood, the street in front of my house is filled with water and my friends and I hunt little fish and turtles.

When I was 6 years, my mother won a trip to “Las trojas de Cataca” in the state of Magdalena. To get there, we had to take a bus to a town called Nueva Venecia, and then We took a canoe to reach the houses were above the water of the pond.

This experience was funny because It was my first canoe trip, but sad at the same time, because people are very poor.

In my vacations, I usually went to the beach or pool with my parents and relatives. We were all day in this place, It was a lot of funny, because my cousin an I loved the water, but my mother not so much.

We played in the sand, we made castle or We played with the ball.

For me was difficult moved a lot. Throughout my childhood, We moved about 4 times, and this didn’t allow me make many friends.

What else can I say? This is what I remember from my childhood righ now...

What are you doing to stay healthly?

In the Colombo-Americano each teacher has his own teaching methodology. This level, with Juan, was a lot of different.

His methodology is very interactive because none student was passive in the activities of the classes; everybody had to speak or participate.

My experience about the activity of the blog was wonderful, although some students, initially, were reluctant in to make a blog , but then They encouraged and They make it.
This allowed relate us through of the comments and corrections that our classmates did us.

Thanks so much Juan!!!

Favorites Web sites

Intenet is a network where You can visit a lot of Web sites. This has make a lot of people know about places, information and other person in the world through its service of sending e-mail, file transfer, online discussions, instant messaging and presence, the transmission of multimedia content and communication, telephony, television, electronic bulletin boards, remote access to other machines or online games.

There are a lot of kinds of sites on Internet: chat, news, search engines, blogs, etc. My favorite Web site is Google because "It knows everything"; with this, you can find the information that you need. Also I visited others web sites as El heraldo and El Tiempo news.

Usually, I don´t use the Web sites for shopping, banking or pay accounts. This can be dangerous sometimes.

Now, I have my own Web site. It is a blog and I hope you enjoy it and We can share information about our English course.

Conversation Friendly

2009-07-13T06:33:00.000-07:00

There are millions of people in the world who talk with strangers in the subway, bus stations, malls, supermarkets, with the purpose to make new friends. Strangers can become your best friends, but that's a lottery you play.

When I am in this situation, I usually don’t start conversations, because I am a shy person. I think that people who start conversations are friendly, although sometimes is odd.

There are a lot of talkative people, but actually, I am not. I can be that way when I am in a familiarity situation.

In a conversations, many times I can be a good listener but sometimes I am amused because the topic is not interesting for me.

When I am with friends, We like to talk about technology, fashion, music, babies and something in general, but I try to avoid political and sport topics…They are boring. If someone talks about them, I just go away or try to change the idea of the conversation.
