I chose that title because summarize the main problem in the ecosystem. It appeared in this news: “Carnivorous fish blamed for grebe's extinction in Madagascar” (http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2010/may/26/grebe-extinct-birds).
I feel so confused. I don’t know what I do when I read this kind of news about extinction, abuse animals and ecosystem problems. What I can understand is why we don’t anything significant for change the situation. I think is our responsibility to take care of the planet. We are humans, we guess we are the only animal thinking. However; we are the most destructive living being.
In this case, the problem is about the extinction of birds. If you read the title of article you know that a carnivorous fish is the blame. However; this fish didn’t use to live in this lake but humans introduced it there place so years ago.
I completely agree with the following: “world leaders failed to stem the decline of biodiversity. We cannot fail again." Humans have introduced a lot of animals where didn´t use to live, consequently; ecosystem has been changed by our actions. Besides, we can forget that contamination and global warming is our responsibility. We have to use the knowledge of the science for take care of the planet and we stop to damage it.

Chilean Education!!!!
Well.....If you ask me, I am not surprised with the article. When I was a school student, I knew that most of my teachers were bad professionals. Besides, the last year in the subject TRECH I realized of a lot of things about Chilean educational system, and I understand why the teachers are mediocre professionals. I totally agree with the article, I know that everyone can be a teacher and we can see that in international exams, schools and universities.
When I was in the school I had the same problems of education, this problem is not new. So approximately 30 years ago, my parents also had terrible pedagogies and headmasters. The most probably that situation will not change. But at least, today we need a degree for teaching but this is easy to get. However, a degree is not a synonymous of quality. In some cases is just a piece of paper.
I think the blame of our education is the government, because they transformed the learning in commerce. They sold something than important like the future of the children to people that only think in money, millionaires that never have been interested in the problems of our society.
I am going to be an excellent teacher, I am sure of that. I think if you are studying to be a professor you need improve like person and professional. I decide to make changes, because I had bad teachers in my school and I wouldn´t like that happen in the future. Like future professionals of the education, we need change the educational system; we will have a lot of responsibilities.
I think universities have to improve in their curriculums but it depends of the state role. The government should make new rules in relation with the process of create a new teacher. Firstly, PSU has to be more demanding because in pedagogy this doesn´t select, everyone can study pedagogy.
Taking all into consideration, I think we need improve by ourselves. We can´t only blame to government, if the universities don´t give us good learning we have to find that. We can progress with extra courses of grammar, phonetic and conversation. In Santiago we have a lot of opportunities, we don’t have excuse. We have to be good teachers is our social compromise.

Review BBC
Today I learned a lot of things about vocabulary, pronunciation and phrasal verbs from BBC. I like the activities of BBC, I think is one of the best sites about learning. In the section face up to phrasals I read Freddy and Betty series and I knew the phrasal verb: "find out about ". This phrasal meaning "discover a new thing or fact", e.g. "Joaquin didn´t find out that Alf really exist until he saw in the class". But is not everything at the same time you can learn grammar, pronunciation, and improve in listening. All the episodes of this series have grammar task with examples, so is impossible don´t understand anything!!!
After a while, I was feeling so boring so I decided to look other kind of activities and I found funky phrasals. I thought, "this activity can cheer me up". Because I was very angry and sad, I had a strange feeling I don´t know how to explain. Well...I was talking about funky phrasals,
I searched about health and the most important funky phrasal that I understood was, "go down with something". e.g. " I´m going down with the cholera". I think that is all for today, bye.
