My opinion of transantiago

In my opinion the transantiago is a good system of transportation. I did not have the opportunity to use the called “yellow buses”, that existed before the tranasantiago system. But from what I saw on television news, these minibuses only brought problems in Santiago, they were very noisy, polluted far the payment system was not effective, the students were treated badly, people were hanging on the doors of the micros and had no fixed bus stops, the bus drivers stopped where desired.

I think over time the transport system transantiago is good, every day is a little better. the system don´t having a big change, but if people fail to claim and be set at the positive side, they would to see that the system is not so bad.

I believe that a major change that should be done is to build more shelters, in Santiago are places in which to walk five blocks to find a bus stop, I also believe that it should improve the frequency of all journeys, making larger minibuses for schedules in which more people use the minibuses.

An important aspect to stress is that many people do not pay for the use of transantiago, therefore there should be greater oversight.

A country I would like to visit

The country I would like to go is Morocco; I like this country because I believe that its traditions are really interesting. In the pictures that I have seen, I could find amazing places and people who live lives very different from ours, with others customs, and I would love to see that for myself.

I know Morocco, is a country located in northern Africa at the forefront of Europe, the great majority of people who live there are Arabs, they profess the Islam and they have many laws. Also I know that because of the location in that country people speak three languages, in first place Moroccan Arabic, also is used the Spanish language and French. I also know that women are oppressed by men because they have authority over women.

I would like to talk with Morocco people, visit the more important places such as ruins, mosques, and of course the desert. I want to try the typical food and buy everything interesting for me.
Mmm... I said that I would like to go to Morocco but for any reason I would live more than one month in this country, I think that Morocco is a nice place to visit, but it has many rules to live there, which I don´t like very much, the rules scare me.

Write about your experience in the first term 2009.

My experience in the first term 2009 was good at some times and in others moments was really bad. I had teachers who were a big motivation for my future profession, they could do a change in me and now I can belive in the constructivist learning. I learnt important things about qualitative research, and also I could learn about the importance of considering the culture and social context of children in different subjects.

The last term I didn´t do sport activities, I had not time to take deportive subjects because the obligatories subjects occupied all my time. But that is not important for me, because I don´t like sport very much.

I had different challenges last term, and one of the most important was that I had teachers not so good, they were little committed to their work as educators. Also I had to endured to semester end pressure and I had to make many homework in little time, but sometimes it was my responsibility to leave everything to last moment.

Like the other past semester, the first term 2009 I could not stay with my family because they live in Salamanca, but they were always gave me their support. And with my friends that studying in Valparaiso, we always tried to communicated. The important thing is that I found here, in santiago, cool people, friends who love me.
