My Blogging Experience...by Frodo

I didn’t have a blog before this class; I didn’t think to have one, and less in English. For it, I liked to have a blog because I could write that I think about the tasks that the teacher gave us, and to upload photos of the things that I like.

Really, I didn’t like to write in English, obviously is easier for me write in Spanish, but it was a good way to learn English, because you can correct your mistakes and the classmates’ mistakes.

The blogging teaches me to write much better in English, and it helps you to understand and think in English. Also, you can “talk” to your classmates with the comments of the posts.

I have two favorite posts: “One on One With…” and “My Favorite Song (In This Moment)” because they are related with my favorite music, because they are awesome musicians and I wrote these posts with spirit.

My least favorite post was “My opinion about BBC Learning English” because it had a lot of things to watch and it tires me, almost in this moment I was very bored and I had a headache because it was a f*ck*ng day.

In my opinion the best blog of the class (after mine) is the David’s (Jesus Christ) blog because he is very creative to approach the topics and he has a good Spanish vocabulary and he translates it very good. Almost always he talks about music, literature, movies. He knows very much. But, I always say him… his blog has very bad colors; it seems like a “chuncho” blog… ha ha ha ha…

This was my blogging experience… now I will speak in Spanish… good bye!

Why am I studying geography?

Because I was like it from before entering to the University, I always was looking at maps and I was interested the environment and, in general, the whole world that surrounds us, the people’s behavior in our environment. Then, I decided to study geography when I was in the preparatory, also I was investigating about the curricular scheme, and there were many subjects that they were interesting.

Now, I look at myself in the future working in any organization, but always travelling, already inside Chile or around the world, although I don’t will like to work as a geographer all my life.

I don’t know if geographers can save the planet, but I think that we can contribute that the world can be much better about the management of the natural characteristics of the Earth.

For it we need many tools to achieve a better territorial management, for example the GIS, make field trips to know the natural or human characteristics of the territory that we are studying, and the most important thing, the geographer must be assertive about to apply his scientific knowledge for a good management and achieve the well-being of the population inside the territory.

For it, my favorites subjects are related to the physical geography, for example: geomorphology, geology, etc. Because there are many changes in the Earth, and it happens every time. It’s very exciting study this subjects.
