Hi everyone!!
While I was reading the different posts, I have realized that most of my classmates use a vocabulary that is not very appropriate for the assignments, because they are used to write with simple words, instead of using a most advanced vocabulary. In that case, I consider that it would be hard to improve our English in terms of learning new words, and it is also more important when we think that we are supposed to be English teachers very soon. Therefore, we cannot express ourselves in our daily life with a poor language. Nevertheless, I do believe that in the posts you can recognize that in my classmates` blogs the topics have been taken with interest, I mean, I think they are concerned about the things that they are writing, in that case they are doing pretty well.
have a good week!!

…Getting a job…
hi everyone!!
I have seen an interesting video, which shows some good tips for getting a job, or perhaps, for getting the job that you want to.
For instance, when you are looking for a job, you have to consider the experiences that you have had during your life, this could help you think regarding which is the next job that you deserve. at that moment, when you already have chosen it, the best think is to go to the web site and look at what are going to be your next challenges in there, therefore you will prepare the next points to follow, such as: how to project your image, how to look appropriate for the job you chose, how you are going to deal with the first opportunity that people will give you to get that job, and also, if you do not know the place of the job, you ought to prepare your route for the day of the interview, and so on.
If you did well in those points, the next step is that you have to remind yourself you did a good job and also, that you did a impression you are qualified, now the next step is being relaxed!!... After finishing the steps I have already mentioned, remind that for the interview you’d better look confident, make eye contact and obviously shake their hands… this was a very good video that it is very useful for everyone, not just for teachers, this can help you in the future to make your life easier than before, and furthermore, for having a feeling of satisfaction in terms of yourself in an important topic of your life.
…Now take a look at it!!

scholarships... where are they??
Dear Minister Monica Jimenez:
My name is Marcela Cabañas Gac, and this is my third year as a student of English Pedagogy. This year, when I started my classes at the university, I realized that my economic situation had changed in terms of economic problems, so I went to the “JUNAEB” to try to get a scholarship, and people that I had to talk to, do not even hear my arguments, instead of that they just ignored me saying that I was not able to get anything just for the reason that I was studying my third year. Obviously I could not stand that situation, and perhaps someone thinks that I shouldn’t have said something, nevertheless I do not regret my reaction. So, showing to them that I was angry, but in a relaxed way at the same time, I told them that sometimes could be possible that people at the beginning of their studies do not have the necessities to ask for a scholarship, but that their institution must be aware that the situation of the people in general is always changing, so they should be more conscious about it, which means that if their job is trying to help students to study, they have to offer a solution or a response for everyone at least. The thing is that I was upset since they did not do anything regarding my circumstances and until today, I have not received any help or reply.
I wanted you to now about this, because I thought that you should be aware of how the “JUNAEB” is working and if they are doing a good job or if they are not. I strongly expect that you or possibly the government can do something to not let this situation to happen again. I hope you can understand my situation.
Best regards
Marcela Cabañas Gac
