Essay: English for me and the people

English is the language more popular in the world. It´s the language of business, the language that everyone wishes learn. It´s an idiom present as native, in many countries, principally in countries with a great power, such as: USA and UK. Your knowledge allows an effective communication with many cultures, without matters frontiers. If you know: to speak, to listen, to write and to translate, you will become in a student or worker with many opportunities of triumph in a world so competitive..

To learn English in the University is very difficult. This is a new language, a new reality, a new perspective, that in many opportunities can to affect your performance. It´s more difficult when you begin with phrases, words, dot, points, and specially the logic. The logic and the coherence is the fundament of anything language. For to have an idea about this idiom enough with watch a film, listen a song or read a paper. If everyone does this, in the start, can be very disastrous but with the time can become in something very entertaining. It´s fundamental in the start of your knowledge to have much patience and discipline for this manner to better your understanding. Of course my experience along those two years has of English has been very complicated, in special considering that I don´t had in the college much preparation. I like read papers and speak, it´s very funny, however, the listening for me is terribleJ. It would good that English in the Campus were compulsory, for all students, and so can them, to have a better understanding, due to the great amount of papers for translate. English is simple, but also very difficult and you need much compromise.

If you like learn English, you must be constant and open your mind to a new world. English is much easier than Spanish. However, we think the opposite. There are a lot of people, which know English, for this reason is advisable to realize many activities for achieve it. In my case, I think that in many months I will can have a better performance, because now doesn´t the best. I would like learn for travel and study. Everything you can achieve it with determination and for this is necessary to think in a future, in which we can be better…

My Thesis

I`m actually developing my thesis about citizen participation in projects of forestry investment in the last decade.  This thesis began about three months ago through a subject denominated “Taller de Título”. My guide teacher is called Carmen Luz de la Maza. So, my topic refers to the environmental impact that the projects produces in the environment, considering the opinions of the people. So, the form in that I realize my study is through of an analysis project by project, but only considering the 10 most important in the forestry field. For effects of the selection I consider an instrument called SEIA (Environmental Impact Assessment System), that is which the projects are entered. Then, I will unload and I will analyze.
I chose this topic due to my interest in those thematic, such as: people and environment. It´s a topic very interesting, even though represents the power of citizens front to a environmental problem, that involves a thematic social, economical and political.
We actually had a subject in relation to this and so I took interest for all this.
Yesterday, I had the presentation of my project of thesis front to the Department of Forest Resource Management and it was approved for them. So, I will can develop this thesis of the best manner during a time near at nine months.
I expect from my research it can be effective and clear for to achieve the certificate of Forestry Engineer and so to can work and earn money.
I think that my thesis could help future students or other people through a document useful that represents a monograph about this thematic with the objective to better the politics of integration, democracy and communication between all the persons interested in those topics. I hope my thesis help me to became in a better person.

The Mapuche Conflict

Mapuches are very important for Chile. They are most important native community in the country and for many years the main opponent of the Spanish for about 400 years! This was called “Arauco War”; the
longer war in the history of the humanity. Mapuches are people more brave that never had existed. For those reasons and others, I think that Mapuches have all the right for to follow fighting. There aren´t foundations for doesn´t let them to live. Your fight is for your lands, traditions and rights, for this I believe that this country it´s very ungrateful, in special the government. If everyone thinks about your contribution to the country, nobody will leave of to surprise. For example, the major hero of your people is Lautaro, a Mapuche warrior that gave your life for them. A real example of gallantry and determination. He fought against the Spanish, through knowledge of them. He became in a worker of Pedro de Valdivia, for to know all about them. So, he learned and later got kill to Valdivia.
I would like that Chilean State were more intelligent, fair and understandable with them. Chilean State had realized many try for dispossess them of all, due economical interests and your low education. I believe that lamentably Chile never will pay your debt with them, in special if one considers the times in that we live, guided for individual interests.
For me, the best solution for this conflict is leaving them to live in peace, respecting your traditions, habits and overcoat your lands. They are persons very laborious and sacrificed, that working in agriculture, cattle farming and they love your sacred tree called “Araucaria Araucana”, they extract “piñones” from there, a food very delicious.
We must stay with them and help them to live in peace…
