I think this was a great experience for all the class. First of all because we have a free space in order to expose our thoughts related to certain topics. We were able to search for certain information that help and support us, in order to write in a better and more informed way.
Other think that I like of the blog system, was the post time. Here we had an instance of conversation with other classmates. We were able to know each other, and see the different points of view.
In my personal experience, I think this was a great instance in order to improve our English,
Because in several times, there were a lot of words that I didn’t know, and I was able to look for them throw the Internet. This action increases my vocabulary, and now I know more words.
Now talking about advantages, I think the blog experience doesn’t help me just in the English part (Grammatical and spelling). Also it helps me to learn how to create a blog, and use it (because before this experience, I didn’t know how to use or create a blog). Now I’m able to create other blogs, so I can create a space of conversation of different topics of my interest. Now talking about disadvantages, I think that the only one was that we didn’t have enough time to develop more this space (I mean, treat more difficult topics), and this was because we didn’t have more classes.
I hope this kind of activities is going to continue in the next years (in the different levels of English classes), because as I said it before, it is a great instance in order to develop our English skills and also increase our vocabulary. Now a day, we’re in an age of technology that help and support us in a lot of areas, so we have to take advantage of that and use it every time we can. This kind of activities are innovations for the traditional teaching system, but in a few years, would be a normal thing, so is imperative that we get use to it and use as much as we can.

I would like to be Senator
I would like to work as a Senator, because I think that the only way of change things, is throw the legislation way. I think that one of the most important requirements for work as a Senator, is to know all the National Legislation and also the different ways of change it. There is also very important to know what people think, and also need (Not just for the votes and stay in the position of Senator, also to make a better country to live).
I think I would be a good Senator, because I like to study our constitution and also our Legislation in general. ( And I like to interpretate legislation too).
Try to enter to this kind of job is very difficult, because there are a lot of factors that have an influence in order to enter (Most of them political stuff). I think if you want to enter to this kind of job, you have to have a big support of your political parties. (you have to do a very good job inside the political scenery, so your parties would support you).

I like Pablo Picasso’s “Guernica”

I still remember the first time I saw this picture; it was when I was on fifth grade. There was a special art presentation of a Spanish investigator. He brought with him a lot of Picasso pictures, and he described all the things that Picasso wants to represent throw their pictures. Most of Picasso’s pictures want to represent the Spanish Civil war (after 1936) and all the suffering that Spanish people were feeling. There are a lot of Picasso’s pictures where appear bulls (A very meaningful animal for Spain), and those are crying or suffering, that show us in the best way all the pain that Spanish people suffered during the Civil War. Also throw this picture we can see all his influence of cubism (Artistic trend). And this is why I like this picture, because with this cubism you can imagine and think different things. Throw this picture you can imagine that the person upstairs is supporting the war, and there are two people and a bull lying on the floor. Here you can think that people and their most meaningful symbols are falling down because of the war. That is why I like this picture, Because Picasso allows you to create different ideas and thoughts from his creation.

A new conception of education
Most kids have great creativity, but they start loosing it during their scholarly life. The main question here is why? The answer is because the education system implanted since the XIX hasn’t change and adapted to our actual reality.
In the past there were a lot of kids with great talents in different areas, but they couldn’t develop their selves in those areas because the education didn’t allow them to. This happened because there was the old paradigm of education based in the industrial thoughts ( this was based in the used of only useful tools in order to answer questions of that context).
Nowadays, the main important thing is try to change that old paradigm, in order to give certain liberty, so the kids are able to develop their talents. Is true that the actual education system (in schools around the world) is based on university entrance (most universities look for the development of certain areas of education), and is here where we have to change the aim of education.
