My experience writing blogs

For me to write blogs in English was very difficult because grammar is very different to of our language and although I not am good in this activity, I am satisfied considering that I managed to improve my vocabulary and of course grammar. I know that there are many things I need to learn to write my blogs in English well, but I think that to continue writing on my own it will help me in this.

For me to write blogs, made me to reflect about some topics because, for example, to write good about a topic first, you need to have your ideas clear and I sincerely did not think too much before making this blogs.

 For example, on writing blogs, I discovered that I did not have a favorite song and I searched songs which lyrics could identify me.

I also had fun making this activity because on reading my classmate’s blog I managed to meet them more, I don’t speak to them much because it is difficult to speak in other language.


I think that in the future I would like to write about of a more specific topic of  psychology, for example some approaches, about therapies or of prejudice that people have of psychologists and use this blog for answering their more common questions (219 words).

Chilean and Finnish educational system

In my opinion, (and could to say that for most of chileans) the speak about of chilean educational system makes to think in the debts that in a future the student will have.

Regrettably, in Chile, the socio-economic level that the family of the student have, predicts most times quality in education that will receive student considering that particular schools are expensive in comparison to municipal schools which have less resources for teach. Also in Chile superior education is very expensive.
A situation different there is in Finland because all service educational in that country is free, for example the alimentation, the school supplies and even reimburses the cost of locomotion of student if it exceed the five kilometers between the house and school.

Besides of to criticize our system educational, also I criticize to most parents of the Chilean students by think that teachers are the first or even the only ones responsible of the education of their children. The work of the teacher is fundamental and I think that not anybody has the personals characteristics for to be an excellent teacher, but the parents also have that to encourage in home that pupil acquires study habit and good manners.

In Finland, the education of the children is until the 6 years in the house. Their parents receives official support for that they can to educate of their children, to difference of that happens in our country that the parents have that looking for options by his own account if is that they decide not enroll to their children in kindergarten.

I think that the Chilean system educative have many disadvantages and I doubt that someday be equal to Finnish (286 words).

Iván Pávlov


 The person that I admire is Iván Petrovich Pávlov, a russian physiologist. He was born on September 14st, 1849 at Riazán. First he began their studies of theology, but he quit this career for study medicine and chemistry at Saint Petersburg state university. Here he specialized in intestinal physiology and circulatory system. In 1904 by their work of gastric juices, Pavlov he won the Nobel Prize in Physiology. Finally, he died of pneumonia on February 27st, 1936 at Saint Petersburg.

 In a one of their investigations Pávlov discovered the classical conditioning. This work is very important because he managed to show the existence of the conditioned stimulus and the unconditioned stimulus. He trained dogs to react in front of stimulus whose had no effects previously. An example of unconditioned reflex is to make to salivate a dog after of listen to one sound instead of show him their food.

 I admire to Iván Pávlov because in spite of not to be a psychologist, he managed to make experiments that influenced the behavioral approach.
