The chilean education and the role of future teachers
The chilean education is divided into four areas, such as: kindergarten, primary, secondary and higher education. And it is based by the LOCE. These levels are supervised by the Public Politics
In the future, teachers have to be able to instill certains kinds of principles and values, because, through the English subject, teachers can teach or transmit four levels of the Transversal fundamental objectives, such as: principles training, thinking development, personal development and finally the person and its environment. Each level is oriented to develop the principles of the pupil, but also it pretends to integrate each student to the society and to improve the social behaviour of each student.
Through the English subject students have the opportunity to develop an ethics formation, because they can familiarize with other cultures, thoughts and beliefs. Therefore, they can learn to tolerate and respect differents cultures.
Through the materials development students can also express their opinions and ideas in relation to the information given in the oral or written text.
In addition, students can research important events that are happening in other cultures of English language, with the objective to reflect about it.
Also, students can see the differents traditions that are inserted in our culture, such as: halloween, easter, etc., however it is very good for them, because they can improve or extend their knowledge, but also they learn to appreciate differents cultures to themself.
I think that a future teacher not only have to be worried about to teach contents, but also principles and values. Because, nowadays we live in a world that is full of inappropriate behaviours. Hence, teachers have to sensitize, because in these times students don’t have any interest in to learn. They only spend their time in games, newspapers, etc. In fact, nowadays students are more vulnerable to consume drugs, alcohol, etc. and obviously these kinds of problems not only affect the personality of them, but also the family and even the school life. As a result, teachers have to introduce the new concept surreptitiously through values and interesting discussions or topics by to perceive their attention.
As a conclusion, all future teachers have to include the Transversal fundamental objectives in their classes, because day to day we are going to face up a difficult generation and for that is very important don’t forget the transversal objectives that contribute a series of values in a personal and social aspect, that can be acquired through the English language. Besides, students can learn and familiarize with differents kinds of cultures, thoughts, beliefs, traditions and lifestyles that are presented in oral and written way by the tutor.
I choose to talk about the Transversal fundamental objectives, because in the future teachers not only can teach or give information in relation to the area that they are specialized, but also they have to transmit to their students values and principles.

Santa Lucia Hill
I am going to speak about Santa Lucia Hill, because it is an important National Monument for us and for our history.
When Pedro de Valdivia arrived on December 13th, 1540 named this place as Santa Lucia hill, because it was Saint Lucia’s day. However it was also known as Huelen by the indigenous, which means: pain, melancholy or sadness. Santa Lucia hill was a rough rock
In 1872 Benjamin Vicuña Mackenna decided to transform the place in a park, and it incorporated a new infrastructure, such as: walls around the hill, gardens, squares, statues, streets, lamps and some vases that were used by decorate the hill.
The transformation was an important and amazing impact for people that lived in that period, because it became in an attractive and entertaining place that they could visit in that time.
Nowadays you can visit beautiful places, such as: the Cannon, the Castle Hidalgo, Neptuno square and an Exposition Center of Indigenous Art.
The Cannon: This tradition began in 1824. They made a solar clock on the hill and the cannon was intalled by shoot at midday. The tradition continued until 1996, because in that year it was eliminated for noise pollution. However, it returned.
The Castle Hidalgo: It has been used as a restaurant and Art Museum. But nowadays it is an event center, where is used by celebrate differents kinds of events.
Neptuno Square: In that place you can find the Neptun sculpture and it was made of bronze.
Center of Indigenous Art: in that center you can enjoy an exhibition of local handicrafts.

TSUNAMI
Tsunamis are a series of extremely large waves caused by an underwater disturbance such as a volcanic eruption, earthquake, landslide or meteorite impacts. Also it’s a very long wavelength (often hundreds of kilometres long), forming a hump in the ocean.
And it can also, rapidly inundate coastlines, therefore, a tsunami can destroy everything that is in its path, causing damage, injuries, and loss of human life.
And it can also, rapidly inundate coastlines, therefore, a tsunami can destroy everything that is in its path, causing damage, injuries, and loss of human life.
A tsunami can have environmental and economical consequences that can take years to reverse.
We can not prevent or predict a tsunami, but we can follow some instructions or system in order to reduce the damage from tsunami. For example, some regions use tsunami warning systems to detect this kind of phenomenon. Another kind of system can be the tsunami walls that Japan has implemented, it consists in a concrete structure up to 13.5 feet high to redirect water from a tsunami.

The Retreate
1.-Who is the speaker and who is speaking to?
I believe that the speaker of this poem is the spirit of the man who is speaking
2.-Type of Vocabulary
I believe that the poet uses a lot of vocabulary that transmits melancholy and sadness
3.-alliterations, metaphors, comparisons, assonances, personifications (that is to say any literary figure you find in it)
I am not sure, but I think that is a metaphysical poem that uses metaphors and alliteration.
4.-what's the poem about? (love, hate, faith, life, death)
I believe that the poem is about a man who dies, and after that his spirit begins to remember moments very important for him, for example: when the man felt innocent, attractive, happy, etc, but when the spirit begins to remember it feels melancholy for all those moments that stayed in the past.
5.-your opinion about the poem.
In m y opinion, I believe that the poem is very interesting, because in my case I always remember moments that happened in the past.
