This is all folks...

This is from a cartoon I used to watch when I was a child...

Well the journey has been completed at least this semester. There will be many other paths to go through in our lives, what I want to tell you this time that it´s been a pleasure being your teacher I had a great time with you people and I somehow all of you learned in different ways.

We play, we laughed and  we did many different activities in which you spoke, wrote, read, listened to English. Somehow I think this is the way we should learn everything. Learn by doing and have fun doing the different activities, enjoying the learning, although it may mean hard work and effort but at the end of the day you feel happy because it was worth.

And for some of you who could not make it this time there will we plenty good of opportunities to  improve, the important thing is to keep trying and never give up, you can always try to do your best.

I wish you all a very happy Christmas and a very good new year hoping that the next year is much better for you and all the Chileans who suffered different losses or in any other way.

A big hug to all of you!

Jenny

I was trying to think in the piece of art work that I like most...there are so many which are outstanding, beautiful, breathtaking, amazing. Among those I think of great painters, architects, film makers, poets, writers, designers, musicians, composers, dancers etc.

We human beings are capable of creating such beauty and horror as well.

For the time being my favorite piece of art is "The shooting of may third 1808", which reflects the time when French invaded Spain in 1808.The painting was made in 1812 after his wife died. It belongs to the post war period.He had stopped painting for the royalty and had decided to paint for himself. This and other paintings was the way in which he processed war.He did it in the last period of his life.

Hey!

I just want to tell you how good I feel.

We had such an interesting class yesterday, all of us learned something...a little bit about stem cells, lab experiments with white mice and the creation of new cell, thanks to Pablo. We also felt sorry for boys who develop Duchenne´s muscular distrophy, but you never know may be Paula is one of the persons who finds a cure for it.

We were amazed by the costumes for Medea play designed by Belen and we also learned a little about Alexia´s career on film and watch parts of videos that she showed us.

Hope we have wonderful presentations on thursday.

See you then!
Jenny
