Day at The Beach! Yori's

One of my favourite places near Santiago is Rocas de Santo Domingo Beach. Last time I went to “Rocas de Santo Domingo” was last year in November.My father, brother and I went to have a relaxing day at the beach. I remember that I needed to get out of Santiago for a little bit, since I was somehow stressed of the city and especially of things going on in the University.
Like always, the place was awesome, it was a cloudy Saturday, neither too hot nor cold day. We drove around the nicest cottages and streets over Santo Domingo and we had lunch in a little restaurant in front of the beach. What I liked the most was walking down the beach, even though my dad was quite talkative and my brother wanted to play all the time, I manage to chill out.
I just wanted to be quiet and enjoy the day, but even so it was excellent and energizing. You should definitely go there and enjoy the landscapes and beautiful environment in it.

Natalia's Blog

Natalia’s blog is very nice. It has some nice colours that gave a mysterious look. You can see her list of members and also some video links and pieces of news if you are interested in more than just her posts.
If you carry on looking her blog you will find a picture of her with a very surprising expression, but I think represent her as a girl who enjoy her life.
Some of the posts that you can find are related to what we do in classes, her personal opinion about some topics and we can know her a little more through her posts. Also, you can see very cool pictures in any topic where you can imagine the way she feels to do this activities that we have every week.
If you are looking for something fun and different in terms of blogs, I invited you to see Natalia’s because you are going to see more about her than you have seen until now.

What did you do??

I enjoy so much watching football games. It has been my passion since I can remember. Well, in this opportunity I would like to meet Fabio Cannavaro. He is a football player who was in the last world cup in 2006 and won it being the captain of this team.
I would like to ask him how he did it?
I know it is a team work to get a world cup championship, however being the captain takes a lot of responsibility. You have to be a leader and respected for your mates. You have to use this power to express your feelings, fears and dreams and at the same time, take care of your team.
How can he do it? What did he tell them? What are the most important characteristic that a leader needs to have? Can you encourage someone to be a leader?
From his point of view I could take those answers and apply it to my reality. We are going to be teacher and we are going to be in our students’ lives so, it would be important to use all the skills we have to help them to become a better person.
Also, I would like to meet him because he is a very good-looking man.

Another way to learn English

This video is so funny. I believe there are many ways to learn English, especially as a second language, but I've never imagine that this would be one of these ways.
I've met a lot of people that remember things by saying it many times, singing it or relate them with another thing or situation.
It is always important to know that people have different forms to add new knowledge to the things they already know.
So, we can think in this video as a way to include new vocabulary or phrases to be used in a context. If this Japanese girls mixed songs and exercises with English, we can do some creative activities for our students.

Never forget, students must learn with things they know, use and feel comfortable with.

El Quisco, Chile

Do you know “el Quisco”?

I haven’t been in so many places in Chile. My family wasn’t in the mood for vacations. So, I started to enjoy it with my boyfriend. The first vacations that we had was in El Quisco.

First of all, we started the trip from Santiago and you can experiment the sensation of leaving the city and getting in the mood for holidays. Then, you can enjoy all the way getting there because you have time to see more nice beaches in the way.

This is a beach in the fifth region of Chile. One of the nicest that I have seen, especially in winter time. It is a small town where you can find anything you need: very cheap places to stay, good food, quiet places to go at nights and a quiet beach to swim.

Also, you can find some beaches were you can swim some others to practice surf or diving.

So, if you have time to get out of Santiago for a couple of days, as we are going to experience from tomorrow, I’ll recommend you this place or any other beach in Chile. Our coast is the longest and pretties in South America.
