First of all, writing in this blog it was a real challenge for me, because my proficiency level of English is not good enough. But, I enjoyed this experience because the topics were often interesting. For example, I enjoyed a lot writing about the National Museum of Fine arts. I’m really interested in buildings and I learnt a lot about the museum by writing about it.
I have to say that sometimes the quizzes weren’t enough practice for me to understand the grammatical structures, but the teacher was always there for me when I needed help, so it was not so difficult to do what the teacher asked us to do.
I’m not used to write in English, so I can say this was a very good way to practice and improve my writing skills.
About the class, I can’t see any disadvantages in using a blog for the English class. However, I feel that sometimes I needed it more grammatical explanations from the teacher during the class beside the quizzes she asked to do. It was hard for me to learn from my own mistakes.
Although, I believe this is a quick and fun way to improve writing skills because it is fun to post my ideas in a blog.
This is an entertaining class because we use the computers and the internet to learn the language.

Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes Chile
The National Museum of Fine Arts it is the most important museum in Chile. It was founded on September 18th, 1880. The museum exhibits several types of art such as painting, sculpture and photography throughout the year.
I consider this important building a piece of art because of its amazing design and architecture. The building was designed after another building called Petite Palais located in France. The main characteristics of the building are the big dimensions, the large halls, the beautiful balconies and the wooden floors. An area that stands out is the wonderful glass copula with a metal frame in the middle of the building that has influences from the Art Novou movement. The building reminds me of the old European structures. The museum is a beautiful historical building that I think all Chilean people should visit and contemplate. The museum exhibits many incredible paintings, but the building itself is a piece of art.

"Do Schools Kill Creativity" Review
Ken Robinson criticizes public education mainly because he says that teachers kill creativity, and I think he is absolutely right about it.
“If you are not prepare to be wrong, you never come out with anything original” this is the most evident reason why children are suppressed to develop creativity specially when National education system establishes that mistakes are the worst thing you can make.
We have to rethink the way that we are educating our children if we want a better future in every sense, especially ecology, to preserve the planet.
Every public education system around the world are produced in order to allows students to continue university education. This system excludes a lot of creative students who do not do well on university entrance test.
Intelligence is diverse, dynamic, and interactive and we must promote each of these aspects to develop creativity.
