Hi bloggers:  How is it going?  I  hope  good  enough, since  summer holidays are coming soon. Well, today's topic is about your study programme.  Personally I don't know your study program, except for  the English subjects. Then that's the only  area I can talk about. If you ask me about posible changes I'd make to  English subjects in Agriculture,  I  'd  certainly  create  more English courses  with higher levels and with a stronger emphasis on   speaking and writing. This is due to the fact that nowadyays more and more students are travelling to study postgraduate courses abroad, where these skills are required.  What do you think of it? What changes would you like to make to English and /or other areas of your study programme?  You may focus on different aspects, such as : subjects, facilities, professors, field trips and any other area you'd like to. Use 250 words and don't forget to leave comments on your classmates' blogs and my own too.

Post 8 : Personal Opinions

Hi bloggers: Today's post is about personal opinions. In my case I'd like to talk about a topic that I 'm interested in : Immigrants.  This is a national issue nowadays considering the huge  number of people coming to settle down  in Chile. They have contributed with their own cultures, customs and habits sometimes for better  or for worse.  In recent weeks there's been a lot of discussion about the policies that are to be made in order to control and  standardise the process of immigration. What topic would you like to give your opinion about?  Use 250 words . Don't forget to leave  comments on my blog and on 3 of your classmates' ones. Cheers.

Post 7 : Environmental Conflicts ( third free topic)



Resultado de imagen para environmental conflicts



Hi bloggers; How is it going? Today's post is one of the free topics you chose to write about: Environmental Conflicts. Well, in recent times the topic of environment problems has become a recurring topic  everywhere. One of the nearest ones that come to my mind is the one happening in Quintero. That is one of the most polluted zones of the country, where soil, air, water and everything is totally contaminated. The most serious consequences have been suffered by  the  local people, who have got seriously intoxicated. The problem became a national scandal when hundreds of inhabitants had to be sent to hospital with serious symptoms of poisoning.
After this event , government authorities promised to pass new laws and regulations  to compel oil  refinery in Ventanas  and some other mining companies to make changes in their processes.  Everybody made serious promises  not to go on contaminating any more. However, some months later, no mass media talk about the situation again. I hope to be wrong , but I don't believe a thing of what they promised. When they have to decide between making money and protecting people's lives  and environment, their decision is clear: Business is business. What do you think about it? Do you know any other environmental conflicts you can talk about? What can you say about them? Use 230 words and don't forget to leave comments on 3 classmates' and your teacher's  blogs. C U.
