Blog Session 1 - Sample Post

My name is Gabriel. I'm 27 years-old and live in Quinta Normal in Santiago. I was born on September 15, 1990. I'm attending the third year of Social Work career. It isn't my first career: before I studied Law and Literature for a couple of years. Before, I studied my elementary studies in a school called Salvador Sanfuentes, and after that, when I was 12, I studied my secundary studies in the Instituto Nacional.

Beyond the academic, I would like to mention two activities that I really love: music, and sports. About music, I play many instruments, but I don't think i'm very talented. Sometimes, I sing too. Anyway, music is the most important activity that am doing in this time. And about football, every weeks I practice two or three days. I have made many friends practicing this sport. I would like to play it all the life. We're a five-member family: my parents Juan and Raquel, my brother Juan Pablo and his daughter Martina, and I. My brother is three years older than me.

MY FUTURE JOB

Imagen
I’m studying to become a social worker. It has been a long, difficult road; full of difficulties but also very enriching. I have learnt many lessons for my life. However, I must be honest. I can’t imagine myself working on something that I don’t feel any passion. Whatever I do, it has to have music and sports in it. I have thought about this a couple of times, and it really makes me feel like being at a crossroads. Why am I studying Social Work then? I decided to study social work because I wanted to transform society. It is a truly beautiful career; I can make a living, and help other people too. I believe I will be able to achieve it. So in order to make it possible, generating a different worldview is necessary. And the best thing about this, is that Social Work allows me to integrate other disciplines and knowledge to enrich the tasks of the profession (especially sports and music). Going to the subject of my future work, I would like to work on someth...

Hello class. I’m here again…writing for English 4, the last subject of this adventure. Well, I’d like to visit Mexico. And not only visit it. I want to live there for some time. Perhaps one or two semesters. The first reason why I want to live there, is because I want to study music. Some time ago, I didn’t like the Mexican musicians. Truly, I hadn’t the provision to hear Mexican music…. Through the years (and the partys…) I began to hear “Corridos Mexicanos”. In this way, I started to get to know Antonio Aguilar, José Alfredo Jiménez, Vicente Fernández, and the great Chavela Vargas. I thinked “Wow!...one more time the life showed me I made a big mistake: before, I laughed at these songs; now, I really appreciate the voices of the singers, and their musical quality. At this moment, all was in order. But I really loved the Mexican music when I heard these two monsters of world music: Juan Gabriel and Luis Miguel hahahahahaha. I know that people make critics about these artists, but...

GIVING OPINIONS

For me, public transportation must be free. I've thought about this a couple of times, and I think I have a good argument. Consider only Santiago de Chile, the city that mobilizes most people in the country. People are transported every day by metro or by bus to do three main things: 1) people travel by public transport to work; 2) people travel by public transport to study (in the case of younger people); 3) People travel by public transport to go buy / pay something. There are very few people who travel to visit someone, or because they go for a walk. So, if the vast majority of people go to work at a company where it contributes to increase the capital and money of an entrepreneur, or travel to study so that tomorrow have a good profession and also contribute to maintaining the labor system, or go directly to buy or pay your outstanding bills, then ... why, in addition to all this, should you pay for your ticket? We pay to go to work to increase the earnings o...
