Charles Dickens and great expectations

Charles was an English writer of the Victoriana age, so called for the Victoria queen, why reigned 70 years in middle of Industrial age, when she arrived at the power, the English population in its majority was rural and at her death the majority population lived in city and the industrial development was in the peak, this period was characterize by a moralist society, in that the forms and the appearance was good looks.

Is here where the place, the social class, where you had born, determined and marked all you life… for always (more that now, which is supposed that the social mobility is more usual, We don’t forget the speech of the present government: “We like the equality of opportunities”)

In this story Dickens shower as in almost all his works parts of his biography, where Pip suffers the social inequality from very small and by a good action, his life tikes a turn in 180 degree, where he does live other life completely different, that is to say, from the privileged society economically, but also at the same time look as your world disappear because there isn´t connection between both class. Dickens shower the life of both worlds where the real difference is the quantity of money.

The blog helps me very much because it is an experience that demand me learn new worlds and helps me to practice, also the blog in English is a very good idea, here,  I can imagine and tell something that like me as the don’t like me and that others can know me a bit more.

When I begin the first day in the blog I delayed very much in achieve fifty worlds and I has  that finish in my book and almost all the opportunity was the same but today I been in the computer fifteen minutes ago and I have one hundred worlds!!! Very well  :D

For me, the blog is a very good tools to learn or express daily thing and with this, we the only that need is know the form of say in English don´t need invent nothing more.

When we been in the front of computer, we been quiet, in calm and we can remember old world in English and remember as say this or that, in this moment we been in full capacity.

Iback up this idea, but a good complement is the sound or video with the instructions to make the comment in the blog... one idea...

The blog, also, you can know at other persons and sometimes you will surprise and will amuse!!!

I repeat, the blog is a good idea!

 

A well movie

 

Y don´t see much movie, but a very good film that I´ve seen is “The last samurai” This movie was make in Estados Unidos, and release in the year 2003. I saw this movie in my house with my brother, the last week. The protagonists are Tom Cruise, Timothy Spall, Ken Watanabe, Billy Connolly, Tony Goldwyn, Shichinosuke Nakamura and Shin Koyamada, the director is Edward Zwick and it genre is adventure and action.

This movie, I liked because showed the past of the Japon, in the period of the “Rebelión Satsuma” in the time of the Samurai and Ninjas, the protagonist were a captain of the army, that was hired for an adviser of the Imperator to manage his army in against (before) of Samurai that fought with sword, the first combat, the protagonist is captured for the Samurai and he learn to respect their.

This movie, have moral for the humanity.  Also, it movie represent very well the context that happened in Japón in this moment and achieve that the people site in this time. This movie, I seen again.

My vocabulary is not very good, for this, I can´t advance much... but it was very nice, because the web pages helpme to remember and learn new world, the web page, I will use to practice for learn more, overcoat, the listening for the pronunciation and for recognize the worlds, also, this content don´t was dificult to understand, in conclutsion, It are one good tool for learn :)

PATRIAS CELEBRATION

                                                       

I not remember one in particular, but a little something, yes, for example, when, I had six years, I was to raise a Chile Kite!, my first and only kite, and I can´t achieve, when I had about two hours of the attempted, arrived my cousin, Pablo, and he begin at raise, I was happy, for end the famous kite flying but when I went at ask for the kite, got tangled in the hardwired of light, and I cried all the day… not, only one hour.. :S

Other moment who I remember of Patria celebration was when my family was been a bit poor and all wanted eat baked pies…

This day, my father out early and all my brother and sister were thinking who this 18´. We were gloomy, but in the evening arrived at my house parents with many home-made baked pies and then arrived my father with more baked pies!

This day we ate many.. J

The other party of 18, have been more or less normal… with many food and baked pies jeje for example the last patria celebration, I was to Calera and was very funny…

Website

The page of the BBC is very interesting; it can help us much, but has even games!!! Is very funny, but also, is a page with English a bit more complex…  even if I will learn more of this form.

In the quiz “Beat the keeper”  I achieve twenty points!! But I understood very little… L but I will follow trying… J

This page is very complete, for each theme, it has links for downloads podcast, text, test, etc. also, has video and listening that help us to understand the pronunciation and I will know new words.

When I did practice English in my house, never had I found a page that was really good, but this page seems that it has all!!! Is a good solution for me. This website has very much information!

I believe that for the teacher also, this website was one very good source of educational ideas, because there is one part that is call “Ideas for teachers and activities for teachers”..

The website makes programmers for year, and we can visualize  all!

My promise is that I will check this page for improve my English, also I think show them to my brothers, they are more advanced in this language…
