Blog session 5- Postgraduate Studies 

Hello everyone!

Today´s blog session is about your academic future.  Have you thought about taking a course after you graduate?

You will probably answer "no, not yet" , but I invite you to think  if you were given the opportunity to do it, what type of course you would like to take?

I have always been willing to learn new things. I am passionate about my career and get the best  skills to continue encouraging my students  and appealing them to  develop their learning and skills in order to know new languages and be able to communicate with many different cultures.

What about you? Would you like to do postgraduate studies after you graduate?

Include: 

• Reasons to do the course- 
• Subject(s) you would like to study- 
• Where you would like to study (Chile or abroad)- 
• How you would like to study (distance learning, blended system, part-time course, etc)- Any other relevant ideas

Hello everyone!

"Job" is a word that all of us almost always bear in mind (or need to?) why?... it is not necessary to take a long time to answer that simple question: we need to work for a living! and we will probably apply for a job that will offer good working conditions and a good salary but...a big "but" ...what about if you get a job that you do not enjoy or you do not like doing?

First, I think there is a difference between the word "job" and "career". Essentially, a job means time and money, a career is a concept that involves you and what you expect to be doing throughout  your working life! That is why this period of preparation is so important for you and it has been for all of us.

Second, in my opinion it is not an easy task to think about a  future job but it is a good opportunity to reflect and dream a little bit.

Now, reflect  about your future job and say:

What the job is,

Why you would like to do this job,,

What qualities or skills you would need to do this job,

What type of reward or job satisfaction you would get from doing this job.

Mention anything else you think is important.

Themed Post

Hi everyone,

Today is a special session because you were in charge of choosing a topic to write about. It was a tie voting . Half agreed on  "movies or films", and the half on series so this is a great chance to think about your "favourite movie or series" , "the best movie/series you´ve ever seen".

First , I would like to say that I am not a big fan of movies, but it does not mean that I have not visited cinemas. I have enjoyed a lot seeing interesting and funny films, especially with my children, during different times in my life and theirs, when they were kids and now that  they are grown-ups. We enjoy staying together and having fun watching good and great films. They all love films.

Films are like a piece of fantasy mixed with real life, there are a lot of different types of films, action, science fiction, drama, comedy, horror, documentaries, cartoons, etc but I prefer comedies, history or films based on real facts. I have seen many amazing movies but just two of them are my favourites: "Cinema Paradiso" (Italian)and "Les Chorists" (French). The first one is an Oscar winner. It is simply an enigmatic film which will stay in your memory for a long time...It is about a filmmaker who recalls his childhood, when he fell in love with the movies at his village' s theater and formed a deep friendship with the theater's projectionist. The second one is about a failed music teacher (Mr. Mathieu) who comes to a strict boy`s boarding school where a tough headmaster rules over a deprived youth with a motto of "Action- Reaction". Mr Mathieu tries a different approach, introducing music into their lives, forming a boys' choir that allows him to discover the secret musical talent of a quiet but troubled young boy.


These films are so charming, funny, touching, poignant and thought- provoking but mainly real and human.

They are those kind of films that you will always remember.


Now it is your turn.
-What do you think about cinema?
-Have you seen any remarkable film that you still remember?
