Post # 9: (final post!) Your blogging experience.

Dear all,

For me as a teacher, it has been quite interesting to read such a diversity of ideas in relation to a fairly wide range of topics.

Now that we're coming to an end, it is your turn to reflect and write about your experience as a blogger.

- Did you enjoy writing on your blog? Why? Why not?

- Did it help you improve your English in any way?

- Give your opinion on the advantages and disadvantages of blogging in the English class.


Extension: 250 - 300 words
Don't forget to add comments to at least 3 of your classmates’ blogs.

Good luck in all your subjects and tests.

I hope to see you soon.

The teacher.

Post # 8: work hard for the money...

The end is near. And as it approaches, I would like to express the satisfaction of reading all your ideas everytime you work on your blogs.

Today's topic is work, especially in relation to public administration and your future in it. So...
- what do you see yourself doing in 7 years from now?
- which line in your career would you like to pursue?
- where would you like to work? Public or private sector? Santiago or a province?
- what conditions would you like your ideal job to offer you? Think of the working hours, benefits, location, income (money), colleagues, etc.

Remember that for the orientals, whatever we picture strongly enough on our minds may become true!

Write between 260-280 words.
And don't forget to post smart comments on 3 of your buddies' blogs.

Post # 7: a world of letters

Hello. Another interesting subject: books!

Do you consider yourself a good reader? If so, what do you enjoy reading?
What are you reading at present? Give a brief summary of the content of it.
Is there a book you remember in a special way? Why? Summarise it if possible.

In your opinion, will books disappear with the advent of internet? Some people believe that we will only read in a digital format in the future, and that there will no longer exist paper books; do you agree with this view?

What could the state do to promote reading more among the young?


Write about 250 words, and post comments on at least two of your classmates.

Post # 6: gender and the state

Hello. Today you have to write about gender and how public policies may help to reach equal rights between men and women in society.
You may want to consider these questions as an orientation:
- Do you think that public policies tend to benefit men and women equally?
- Are there similar opportunities for both, men and women, to take part in the decision-taking processes that will result in public policies?
- Do you find that we are making progress towards reaching more egalitarian access to labour, health and education?
- How do you thik that your future career might contribute to this?

If possible, give examples of what has already been done in the country in the direction mentioned above.

Word count: 180-220
As usual, don't forget to leave comments on three of your classmates' blogs.

Post # 5: Your favourite piece of technology

Write about your favourite piece of technology.

Say:

What it is.
When you got it.
How you use it.
How often you use it.
Why you like it.
What life would be like with out it.

200 words minimum.
Include a picture.
Comment on at least 3 of your classmates’ blogs.
Read more...

Post # 4: the films of my life.

This time you are going to write about films. Look at these questions to orient yourself:

What kind of films do you like watching?
Do you prefer to go to the cinema or watch films at home?
Which ones have you enjoyed the most?
How do you feel about Chilean films?
Is there a film that has has left a trace upon you/your life? Why?
Comment it briefly.
