Tourism and the goverment.

    In several countries, the government invest lots of money in events which are usually beneficial for people and the environment.


   In the first case, citizens are benefited by this in an economical and social way. First, sellers are benefited by these events because the tourists come to events and they sell more merchandise and earn more money. Second, locals know more people and with this they know new cultures and enriches their knowledge becoming more 
sociable. Final, those events help citizens because they open their world to new cultures and to a better life. 

    In the second case, due to these events the government spends money to maintain the cleanliness of the city which helps the environment. In addition, the city is clean and this makes the tourists always remember the place and the event which they attended and that makes them want to return. Consequently, the sightseers help to maintain the order and they also help to clean the place. Finally, the city looks clean and less polluted. 

    To conclude, mega events host by the government are a crucial tool to help the dwellers and the surroundings, thus it is not a waste of money.

Negative effects of tourism.

  Tourism can bear lots of economic benefits for a country, particularly in rural areas, but as it is known all the good things have a bad side, tourism also has negative effects. Touristry is only viable if it is carefully managed, but if it is not, it has negative effects on the environment and the local cultures of the country.

    One of the negative effects that sightseeing brings is that it harms the environment. First of all, tourism increased pollution through different aspects as traffic emissions, littering, expanded sewage production, and  also noise. Second of all, tourism infringes on citizen rights, with locals being removed from their places to make way for new builds as hotels or with cutting down trees to create new places for the visitors. In this manner, the tourism industry injures the surrounding of the country threatening the welfare of the community.

     Another negative effect that tourism carries is that it damages local cultures. First, the interaction of dwellers with tourists can lead to an erosion of traditional cultures and values; for example, people from Easter Island are losing their mother tongue due to the tourist industry because they have to speak Spanish to interact with sightseers. Second, visitor’s behavior can have a destructive effect on the life's quality  of the host community as crowding, drugs problems, or even heightened the crime level. Thus, tourism is harmful to the cultural heritage of the nation.

    To conclude, the tourism is a growing up industry which needs some mechanism to control certain damages that it has in a country.

Blog Post no.10- Last blog entry.

   This semester was better than last year because I learnt a lot on the writing class. Firstly, I always hate to write paragraphs because I did not understand the structure of it, but with Miss Neha, everything was easier to understand. Secondly, the post that I think was the best is the one about "Global environmental issues" I wrote about "Traffic pollution" and I really put a lot of energy on that, and Miss Neha help me a lot on that so I felt more confident; However, I also have a post that I did not like, it was "Health in Chile". I did not like it because it was a difficult topic to talk about and is a really deep one. Thirdly, the good thing is that writing blogs helps me to improve my writing skills and it is a funny thing to do. A good memory that I have about the writing class is when Miss Neha got mad about our concluding sentence because none of us had one on our paragraphs, or they were too bad. Now, I know that whenever I write a paragraph, it must be indented, also that a good paragraph have a topic sentence, supporting sentences, and a concluding sentence, all this new things  Miss Neha taught me. For the future, I would like to do another funny activity as writing a post, and to write about global issues as Animal welfare. In conclusion, I have improved a lot since last year because  of the things that Miss Neha on her class taught me.

Blog Post No. 9 Skills to be a good teacher.

    A teacher good must have three important skills to be successful in his job, he should be a leader and empathize with his students, and also the ability to research.

 The good teacher should be empathic. Firstly, Empathy is when you can put yourself in other people's position. Secondly, The tutor must know the capacities and abilities of every student so he will be aware of what the student can do. Thirdly, this will help him to be able to be in his student's situation because he knows what a student is able to do. Finally, a great tutor should know how to put himself in anybody's place.

  The skill that must be present in each teacher is the ability of leadership. Beyond the power to tame a noisy herd, restless and doubtful students,  the leader have to be able to establish in the classroom an area of high focus and concentration to achieve the objectives in the most optimum way according to its planning. The teacher is the highest authority in the classroom, therefore, he must be respected by his students. The tutor has to be the head of the classroom.

  Another skill of a teacher is the ability to research. First, the teacher must have the capacity to encourage the student to understand that knowledge is not restricted. Second,  the classroom  does not delimit a subject or a content in general. Third, he must tell his student that there is a word outside and it has no limits so they must go ahead and discover all the wonders of the world. The capacity of inquiry is the one that an amazing teacher have.

For these reasons, an exceptional instructor needs to have this three clout to prevail at his work.

Blog No 7/8 - School v/s University life.

   The university is very different to the high school because the university is more demanding and high school is more "relax".

   University requires more time of concentration than the high school. Firstly, if you are in the university you would have to put a lot of your time to study because you are learning something that is going to be with you for the rest of your life that is the reason why you are there. Secondly, in high school you study because you want to have a good mark, it is just to survive it is opposite to the university because in there every single decimal is worth. Thirdly, when you are in high school you only have one classroom for every class, in the university you are the one that has to move to a classroom and you should be there on time because the teacher can leave you out. For these reasons, the university is more demanding than high school because you must put all of your time on it to be a good student.

  During high school, you have a lot of friends that you know from before, but in the university you need to be open minded to meet new friends every day. The university, as a campus that groups many programs, have diversities of people that you must know, maybe not all of them, but most of them, while in school you always see the same people for years and you are quite used to them. Another thing is that, as a university student, you must behave responsibly to any problem that comes, it means that if you have a bad experience with a university friend you should act upon that situation as an adult.  On the one hand when you are in high school you passed through a lot of changes because you are a child and then you become to an adolescent, you have to face a lot of physical and emotional changes, on the other hand, as a university student you develop those changes in terms of ideologies and social aspect that you acquires day by day, so you develop your personality.To sum up, to be a university student you need to be very social and tolerant with other people.

  When you are in high school you do not need to be worried about everything; However in the university you must be concerned about many aspects of your life. You also must be responsible the reason why  is because you are on the last step for you to become an independent adult, so you must be bloom to take decisions. Next, in high school you have no preoccupations because you have your parents to help you. Another thing is that many students have to move to another city to go to the university and they have to live by their own as responsible people, this may be difficult if you live with your parents and they give you everything. Last, if you live alone you must learn how to cook, and do a lot of things that your parents usually did for you. Finally, the university life comes with a lot of preoccupations for you than high school because you are conscious of what the real life is.

  To conclude, university and high school has a lot of distinctions because the first one is more difficult than the second one.

Blog Post No. 6 Global environmental issues: Traffic pollution.

      Santiago is one of the most contaminated cities in the country. It has a lot of different kinds of pollution, but the most common is traffic pollution.

     Every day we have to face pollution, especially traffic contamination and this is completely our fault. Traffic pollution is mainly caused by the congestion of public transport(buses) and private transport(cars). The traffic congestion increases the vehicle emissions and degrades ambient air quality.  This makes people sick and stressful. All this congestion is caused in a specific time of the day which is in the morning from 6.30 a.m to 8 a.m and in the evening from 5 p.m to 9 p.m. For that reason, most of the time people choose to commute by train than in their own car because it takes less time. Other people just avoid this issue and learn to live with it which is really bad for their health. Thus, traffic pollution is one of the biggest errors caused by man because it damages the air and our life conditions.

     In chile, the government is giving to as a lot of prevention methods. We need to be aware of this and do at least on of them to contribute with the city welfare. First, if our travel to work take less than thirty minutes we can use a bike because cycling can be really quicker than buses or cars and it is also good for our health and we will be more hearty. Secondly, if our commuting takes thirty minutes to one hour we can share cars with other partners, this is going to be less expensive and we are going to save money. Finally, if we do not have a bike or a car we can use the subway, but we have to wake up earlier than usual to take the train on time and have a comfortable commute by doing this, we will avoid the traffic jam. For example, normally a commute to work take at least one hour and a half, but if we use the subway our commute will not take less than forty-five minutes to one hour. All of this methods can make big differences in our lifestyles and we will help with the well-being of our city.

   In conclusion, we need to be aware of what is going on in our city because pollution is a big problem and we cannot avoid it, we have to contribute with authorities to clean of contamination our city.

Blog number 4/5: Health

                                                                                                                                                                 
      The health system in chile is not one of the best because every day we found people dying on the waiting room of the public hospitals waiting for a doctor to get a treatment depending on their medical condition. They have to wait for hours and hours for a doctor to get a medical treatment which is too expensive so they do not have enough money to pay for medicines.

    In Chile, we have two types of health insurance, private and public they have a lot of differences so they should become just in one health insurance. People  have to pay the 7% of their salary to have health insurance, but if you belong to the middle class of the country you have to be in the public system because to be in private you must have a very high salary (you must earn at least 1.000.000 pesos.). You also can go and see a private doctor, but you must buy a voucher, ( which cost goes from 4.000 to 30.000 CLP) and you have to pay it with money from your own pocket. Many people choose to buy vouchers because the public health system is very slow and you have to wait many hours to see a specialist. If you belong to the minority of the higher class of the country you should be in the private health system which is a bit discriminatory because you must sing in to be on it, and if you have a very complicated disease, the health insurance could deny you to be on it. Usually, we can see people who are tired of this because when we are talking about health the government makes mistakes every time about it. The other day an old lady was crying in the hospital because she had no money to buy a voucher because she has a really lower salary and she had to wait for hours to finally see the doctor.  Those differences make this two types of organizations very unequal and they should be just as one.                                                                                          

   The public health system is the worst because daily we found people dying on the halls of the public hospitals this happen because there are no so many doctors to see patients. People normally have to wait for a doctor to get a treatment depending on their medical condition and when finally he says what medicine you should take it is too expensive and most of the time people does not have enough money to pay for it. Another thing that we, as patients, usually do is to wait for hours in hospitals because there are full of people who are in the same conditions as us or even worst and sometimes doctors gave to us a bad diagnostic, they give you aspirins for a third degree burn. If you have lot of money you can choose to go to a private hospital in which doctors are going to attend you with a lot of patience and love because you are paying a lot of money to them. Three years ago I was sick my head looks like a balloon so I went to a  public hospital the doctor said that it was cold, I didn't  get convinced so I went to a private hospital and they said me that I have a tumor and I should go to surgery, that makes me think that sometimes doctors in public hospital did not really cares about what is happening to you they just give you an aspirin for everything. For all those reason, the public medical system is not good because people are not happy with it, and a lot of people suffer, too.

                                                                                               
   In conclusion, the health system should be for free to all people because in this way people would be able to get their right medical treatment at time for their disease and we do not need a good and a bad system we as patient need just one big and good system.

What role does music play in my life?


          Music is everything for me in my life since I woke up till I go to bed, I'm listening music.
One day when I was a little girl I went to a restaurant  with my father, in this restaurant there was a song playing on the radio, the song was "Imagine" of John Lennon, so I asked my father who was that guy and he explains to me everything about him. We spent all that evening talking about rock musicians, and at that particular moment I knew for sure that music will be the love of my life. Every day I am listening music or watching videos about some of my favorite singers. I guess that music is in my veins because my father is a musician and he know a lot of things about rock music. I love that combination of the guitar, bass guitar, drum and, of course, the voice of the singer.

        "Music is the movement which releases our souls". Another thing that I enjoy about music is that you can find a lot of different songs about all the feelings and emotions in the world. I mean, if you are sad and you want to be happy you can find a song about happiness or if you want to feel more depressed you also can find a song about that, which is not the idea but you can find it anyways. Also, you have a lot of different music styles,  but I prefer rock music such I said before. Music moves the world, without music I'm sure that we will be lost and blue. If you play an instrument I'm sure that you will understand me, I don't play any instrument, but anyways I know and enjoy the feeling that this can cause. So if you want to make a change in your life turn on the radio and let the music goes through your veins.

Blog post no. 2 - Free theme

                                        "Fall in love with yourself"


     The use of makeup is not essential for a girl’s life. The other day a girl was in the ladies bathroom, she was with no makeup, she had a beautiful face, but suddenly she said “oh! Look this face is so pale I'm so ugly, Ian doesn´t like it when I'm with no make-up", she started to make-up her face and she looked really ugly with makeup, it was like a clown’s face, but but why did she do that? it there? There is some law which says that if you don’t wear makeup you look ugly for men? It makes me sad to see women worried every day about how they look, I mean, you don’t need to dress like a Hollywood star to look pretty for males and of course  we can makeup or care about the way we look, but it hasn’t to be because males or society says that we look pretty wearing that. You should wear whatever you want, not something which a magazine says that you should wear, thus if you want to be with extravagant clothes just wear it but just because you feel good and pretty wearing it. Do it for yourself not for society.



     Women are always worried about their weight because  magazines are always showing beautiful and fit woman and society sometimes makes you think that if you aren't fit you are ugly and you aren't healthy. If someone says to you that you are not beautiful because you are chubby you just have to punch in their face, haha, no, you shouldn't do that but just don't mind the bad opinions that are going to make you sad, the only person who is able to criticize your appearance is you. You don't need to be like a barbie to be a pretty woman, you have to be in love with all parts of your body if you want to be happy because if you don't love yourself Who is going to do that?

Blog Post No. 1 Autobiography

Hi, guys! This is my first post, and I am going to talk a little about myself…   

   

  My name is Aline, I was born on June  17 in a Little city called “Rengo”, I lived there until I was 18. Last year I came to Santiago to study at the university and I started to live here, now I just go to Rengo one time per month because it is too expensive to go there, I miss my family a lot, but every time when I go to visit them I hug them for hours and hours.

  My family is my mother and my 3 brothers, my mom is Sandra, she is 47 years old, my elder brother is Mauro, he is 28 years old, my middle brother is Guillermo, he is 26 years old, and my little brother  Martin who is 6 years old. We are a family with a lot of differences, but we love each other anyways.

   I have two cats, but they are in my mom's house. I love cats. I'm like the crazy cat lady, Elvis and Priscilla are my lovely cats. They are always eating and sleeping, but when they are not sleeping or eating  they are always doing crazy stuff like jumping or running for all over my mom's house. 

   I have another family here in Santiago, which is my boyfriend, our Little dog “ Goofy” and I. We live together for almost 4 month, I meet him 3 years ago, and we are together as couple from last year. I am really in love with him, I don’t know what I’ll do without him. I like to cook for him because he loves all my dishes, even if sometimes they are really bad.

  

   

In my free time, I like to learn new recipes to cook, listen to music or watch movies with my boyfriend. Sometimes when I am inspired I like to paint. Another thing that I like to do is dye my hair, so don't get surprised if you see it black or red.
