Very rarely, nowadays do you come across anyone who has not been abroad.
• Only by living in a country where a language is spoken can you really learn it.
• Under no circumstances, tourists should be allowed to visit the Antarctic.
• Not until you have tried French cuisine will you truly know what good food is.
• Not only did I hate visiting monuments as a child but also I couldn’t stand going into museums.
• Only recently have I started going on holiday without my parents
• Never again will I go back to that place I went to last year on holiday.

what do we learn by writing and what do we express by this?
My experience in my blog has been very useful because I have learned many things through it such as: how to write in a formal or informal way, to express my opinion, to convince the reader, to expose my point of view respecting others. But the most significant message that I have learned by this has been how I can trust on my own abilities.
As I told before, thanks to the blog I realized how able I am writing different topics and expressing ideas (maybe they were not the clearest, but at least I tried my best). Thus, I learned by my classmates. Most of them are really good at writing and have high levels of English which have been very practical to me. Thanks to my classmates' blog I have read good strategies of writing properly. Furthermore, I have practiced my reading skill and improve my writing skill.
On the other hand, I achieved a commitment with study, because I write one post by day which was very useful. Also, I comprehend how important write and practice are but at the same time, the importance of being committed with something. As a teacher, I consider that we must try our best to practice our four skills: reading, speaking, listening and writing by our own. For that reason, I think that this blog is a great opportunity to improve two of our skill.
To conclude, I personally believe, that this website must be considered by everyone, in terms of, expressing ideas, thoughts, feelings or whatever we want. As students, we must give a chance to write about ourselves and learned by our own. To me, the most important lesson was trust on my own skills and improve them in the best way. Beside, how significant can be learn from people around us. Every day, we learn many things, but in most of the times we ignore and forget them. Do you express your ideas? Would you like to writte about yourself and then check it and see how have you improved?

My house
I am passing to tell you about my little house. I live in a semi-detached house, which means that I have two neighbours. My house is conveniently located; I have the subway near of it.
If I would have to say any features of my house would be, that I live in the cosiest house in the world, thanks to God I do not have to live in cramped condition, actually my room is 6 metres by side…
But, I must admit that my mom has done a grate work, because if she had not had this ability, in term of decoration, our home would not have had its great appearance. My home is tastefully decorated.

Motivation
As a first impression about this article, I would like to point out that I assent in most of the point exposed in the writing.
For a long time, I have been ruminated what I would do if I have students who really do not care learning. What to do? It is difficult to answer because there is no single right answer. As a teacher must have conscious about students` motivation, and recognize that we are not going to have a complete motivated group. According to this, it is essential to our trying as teachers consider diversity inside the class, for instance: we are going to have students who are really good at doing something and another once doing other completely different thing, what does it mean is that there is no good or bad students.
What happen at schools is not that there are good or bad children. The thing is that every day we have less motivated student and more students who really do not mind learning. However, what really important is being able to recognize if all those students who are paying attention are truly motivated, and if all those who are at the back of the classroom are not really interested in anything but also ask what is the reason of their lack of interest.
What is going on at school? Why there are motivated students? Are they truly motivated? I do not have the answer yet, but what I would like to say is that at school are happening important things. It seems that school does not allow weaker students and if it does, does not do anything to get this situation better. Do schools consider just successful, stronger, clever students? Let’s reflect on it…

People in my life
Today, I would like to say something about people in our life. Have you ever asked how many people do you know? How many of them are important? what do them be important?
Every day we know anyone different. You know someone in terms of, frienship or relationship. But we do not consider all of them as important person in our life. The point is that, we define our relationship, but in order to what?
Let´s do something, try to wonder why you are or you have a friend. Do you need it? do you want it? All those kind of questions are difficult to answer, but maybe we have the answer and have not relized about it.
My dear, just try to reflect on it....why do you are a friend? and why do you have friends?

Schools kill creativity.
Firstly, I would like to point out my agreement about Sir Ken’s talk. I consider as an essential necessity talk about education and what is going on there. For that reason, what Robinson said was a good example of conscience and it makes us reflect on education and what people think and accepts as good there.
Do you agree that schools are killing creativity? I do not dare to assure that schools do that. What in my opinion school does is does not consider creativity as an important part of the school, it does not mean that it kills creativity. In that way, school omits creativity and ignores it. As a result, school does not kill something that has never considered.
In addition, we must analyze what is going on inside schools. Why does not school consider creativity in class? It seems that school aims to get competitive and passive people instead of autonomous, self – direct, but specially people who can be able to create their own lives, taking their tastes as a guide of their lives. However, school teaches them that there is no necessary to do and know that.
A sobering conclusion is that schools teach what society requires, in terms of, economic and politic development. As member of a society where it is not acceptable be different but rather you are molded by a certain interests, we must do something about it. Tomorrow you are going to be a worker, mother, father, and student. But when are you?
