Transantiago: Before And After

I think that Transantiago was bad designed project, because the implemention was very rushed, the people and the street weren´t ready for the new system. I think that was his big mistake. The Engineers and Politicians didn´t think users of this new system. when "transantiago" was inaugurated,the people still didn´t know how they were going to operate these new buses.

But Transatiago is better than "yellow buses" because the air and noise pollution is more low and the street have less traffic. Also the new pay system is more quicker than old pay system. But the Transantiago is worse than "yellow buses" in the routes.

I don´t have much experience in the Transantiago, because I don´t take bus very often, but when I do, my experience is not bad compared to my friends. They tell me they take a long time to take a bus and when they take the bus is too full. But they tell me that this problem is improving little by little. Also I think that over time, "transantiago" will improve.

I think "transantiago" should improve the number of routes, so people wouldn´t wait long time to take a bus. Also the people should learn to respect the bus stops. I hope that "transantiago" may work well for people to have a good transportation

A country I would like to visit.


The country I would like to visit is Italy because I think Italy is a beautiful and magic place. As well Italy had a considerable art history with a famous artist, such as Miguel Angel. In Italy art is everywhere, just like love is in France.
I know about Italy some things such as the beautiful Toscana, the wonderful “Sixtina Charpel”, the “Roman Coliseum”, and the “Pisa tower”. Also I know that Italy is famous for here Mediterranean gastronomy: the pizza, pasta, risotto, polenta and wine. In politics, Italy was famous for the Mussolini dictatorship and the Berlusconi scandal.
If I travel to Italy I would like to visit the Vatican and Toscana. I would like to eat pasta, pizza and cannelloni in a “Trattoria”. Also I would enjoy the art, music and the opera. I would also like to know the schools and their teaching methods. Then I could implement these methods in Chilean schools
I would live there because my great-grandmother was Italian and I would like to know his country. Also I like the art world and this country is a great exponent. I think that Italy is a very quiet and also motivating country. I think the lifestyle in Italy is perfect for me, because it has everything I like.

First Term: Good and Bad Points

My first term was very gratifying for my training, because I learned very important subject such as Social Knowledge and Educational evaluation. Also I had to do a research on the relation between school, community and family, it was very interesting. But in the bad points of the first semester was little educational content of a subject.

In the first term I didn’t take any sport, but now I take Pilates and Power Fitness. And I go to these sports three times a week, because I think that is good to my health. I had one big challenge in my first term, it was the methodology subject. This subject was very difficult for me, I couldn’t understand anything because the teacher was boring.

The first term I couldn’t share a lot with my friends, because they were busy with the university. My family had a good first term, my father did well in his work and my sisters were good in their studies.

In my winter vacations I went to the beach called Algarrobo. The weather was cold but the company was good. Also I celebrated my birthday.

Second Semester
