My blogging experience.

Hello there! This is the last post I'm gonna write on this blog because the english course is almost finish, so I will not have to write any other post in english.. at least for a while. I'm a little tired of writing about the topics I did write here because it made me think about some things I never thought before and that makes me feel a little dizzy sometimes.

Nevertheless, I enjoy having an english blog, because I like to write in some blogs but I always made it in spanish, not in english as here. I think it is a very funny way to learn how to write correctly in english, because I enjoyed writing in this blog in a language that's not my natural one, and so I easily learnt some things about the english language that I didn't know before. So I think this blog really helps me to improve my english, maybe there is a little difference between the things I knew before and the things I know now, but it's a difference anyway.


One positive point about having an english blog is that you practice all the things that you learned before in the classrom, so you put your own knowledge in the real world and that is a very helpful way to learn another language.. and to learn anything!

Another aspect that I thought necessary to talk about is that this blog made me realize the english subjects I'm weak at, so now I'm more careful when I'm writing in english to don't make the same mistakes over and over again.

I actually don't know what could be consider as a disadvantage of doing an english blog. In fact, I thought that this way of learning english would be applied at schools so childrens would enjoy to learn english because they probably will enjoy to stay in front of a computer. That would made a more funny learning.

That's all I have to say about my blogging experience in this English class. I enjoy it so much. I hope you enjoy reading too!

See you soon!

I-ma-gi-na-tion *

Today, I'm not going to talk about myself but about an interesting talk I watched online. If you click right here you'll see the video I'm going to talk about today. In this video you can see Ken Robinson giving an interesting talk about creativity and education.

Ken Robinson starts his talk saying that creativity is very important in education but nobody actually cares about it. Kids are not frightened of being wrong and that's what they do many original things, but as people grow up, they started to became frighten of their mistakes and they just do what others say that's right. Education plays an important role on this, because it's where the "right things" are introducing.

The topic Ken Robinson talks about is very interesting because it's about something that all people are involved in: the education. As he says, education kills creativity and it's very important that we take care of it and of the childrens that had an amazing capacity of creativity and imagination that we may incite instead of just giving a pill and say they are sick.

So watch it and comment !
You'll not regret about it.-
