Future work

Gabriela Mistral

Hi classmates!

Well, today I´m going to talk to you about my greatest Chilean of all time. She´s

Lucila de María del Perpetuo Socorro Godoy Alcayaga, you might wonder, who is?  Her pseudonym is Gabriela Mistral. She was a prominent poet, diplomat, and Chilean feminist pedagogy born in Vicuña, Chile, but was raised in the small Andean village of Montegrande, where she attended the Primary school.

In 1904 Mistral published some early poems, such as "Dreams", “Intimate Letter” in the local newspaper “El Coquimbo”,  “Diario Radical”, and “La Voz de Elqui” using a range of pseudonyms and variations on her civil name. 

She´s one of the leading figures of the Chilean continental literature and was the first Latin American and, so far, only the latin American woman awarded the nober prize for literature in 1945.

The motivation for his award was "his lyrical work, inspired by powerful emotions, has made ​​her name a symbol of the idealistic aspirations of the entire Latin American world"

I think  how Gabriela Mistral, was a very good person, when she died donate her money for the childrens in “Montegrande”, where she did classes. I would like to ask Gabriela about the Chilean culture and the Chilean supporting for her career, because I think it hasn´t been considered as such will take importance in the Chilean culture.

The image of Gabriela has appeared in the 5000 Chilean bill from July 1981 after that in 2009 was renamed the Diego Portales building to call Centro Cultural Gabriela Mistal in her honor.

Classmates I can´t upload a photo of Gabriela Mistral, because my internet is reaaaally but really bad, See you.

My beautiful and disastrous faculty

Hi classmates! Today I´m going to talk to you about our faculty of arts

Well… the current situation in my faculty of arts in the University of Chile is very bad considering that the faculty It’s the first art school in Chile and has more than one hundred years, for example the infractucture is in very bad conditions, the rooms in winter are raining, the bathrooms are in poor condition, don´t have the basics: toilet paper or soap and the tables of painting are in very bad conditions. The faculty needs to improvement the bathrooms, the  lecterns and tables of painting and drawing, also the ceiling of the classrooms and the stoves are in poor conditions, in occasions there is a gas leaks, which is very bad for healthy, and the exam rooms are very dirty. among other things.The steps to deal with this situation are, first make a “asamblea” with all the students, continuing make a list of demands and finally to speak with the director of career. The situation I think resolves how the university deliver more money at our faculty, hiring people, buying new tables of painting, etc..

The  benefits of this improvement are very much, one of this the quality and our life in the school would be more happy.

Despite all of that, I love my school and the best of the faculty of arts are the teachers, the models (my favourite´s luchita) and of course the greeeaat grass!!

Post 1

Hi, classmates, today I´m going to talk to you about the place how I´d like to visit.

Well, I love travel… when I was a little girl my dream was to travel for all the world, especially to Europe, because is the home of the art. Europe has important historic, we can found many famous historical sites and architectural, including Eiffel Tower and ruins of ancient Greece, Rome, and Venice.

In Europe is possible travel to many different countries, thanks to the compact geography of the continent. Well…I would like to visit Italy, especially Venice, because the place is really nice and is a city in northeastern Italy, I´d like to visit the “Piazza San Marcos, because is the only square of Venice.

I know about it because my teacher of drawing lived there and he tell me about this place and the Public transportation is done by boats known as the “Vaporetto. I´d like to study in venice because it´s a very magical place, surrounded by water.

Well classmates this is all

Good weekend

See you next week

On this post, I will explain how the blog work will be assessed.

Two marks will be averaged. Mark 1 is for continuous assessment (i.e. coming to class and posting IN class the complete task).If you come to class & write the right number of words, plus the ideas your are asked to express AND comments, you get 2 points. If you don't come to class & post from anywhere else within 24 hours, you get 1 point. After that there are no points, but you can still write for the sake of learning & because of mark 2.

Mark 2 is for 2 particular posts that will be evaluated in terms of (ideas (n° of words), word range & grammar). If the post is not there when it is marked, you get a 1.0 for that post. These 3 marks are evaluated and give an average final mark.

Ps: You can use www.wordreference.com but NO translators. If you do the latter, you get a 1.0 & no points for your post. The worst of all, you don't learn. :(

MARK 1 +MARK 2= /2 = FINAL MARK

These two marks will be averaged and will give your final mark :) If you have any doubts, let me know.
Kind regards,
