Memories

This appetizing picture was taken in Puerto Montt, specifically in Angelmo. All began when my godmother invited to me and my sister to go on vacation with her family to Puerto Varas. My sister and I were very excited about this travel because long time ago we didn`t go to this beautiful place of south of Chile.

In the second day of vacations my godmother proposed us travel to Angelmo, because is a very popular place in Puerto Montt and it’s located very near from Puerto Varas, to half hour around. Before my sister and I went on vacation, our parents entrusted us cheese from Angelmo, because is completely natural and really delicious, and don´t sell it in Santiago. Then this was the perfect occasion to buy this fabulous cheese.

When we arrived to Angelmo, my sister and I began to look for the cheeses. Cheeses were at the final of that fair, and there were around five shops of cheese!!. We were very happy seeing a lot of cheese. At that moment my sister  took a picture of that fantastic moment.

I like very much this picture for two reasons: one, because is the proof that we went to Angelmo to buy cheese that mom and dad wanted. They know the the cheeses from Angelmo so we couldn’t deceive them. And second, because it´s a nice memory of this moment and this delicious cheese that we ate only in a week!

Finally we bought one piece of cheese, took it to Santiago and we and our parents were very happy =)

The Electric Blanket

The master piece of technology is the electric blanket. It’s a blanket with an integrated electrical heating device usually placed below the bottom bed sheet. The electric blanket may be used to pre-heat the bed before use or to keep the person warm while is in bed. This electrical appliance generally has a thermostat to adjust the heat that this blanket produces.

I got this wonderful piece of technology when I was twelve, and of this moment I’m an addict of it. Contrary to other persons, I use the electric blanket only to pre-heat the bed before go to sleep and I never leave it switch on all night. I use it every day in winter!, but in summer I get out it of my bed.

The main reason I use the electric blanket is because I'm always cold!, and even more in winter. So I never feel cold when I sleep and I have a very good night. I think that my life without it would be very colds and with many sleepless winter nights.

Definitely the electric blanket is the best human invention!!! =)

Superman, the best superhero

My favorite superhero is Superman.  He was created by writer Jerry Siegel and the artist Joe Shuster in 1932. The principal character's appearance is: a blue, red and yellow costume, with a cape and a stylized "S" on his chest.

The original story relates that he was born on the Kripton planet before being sent to earth when he was a child. Superman was discovered and adopted by a Smallville farmer and his wife. The child is called Clark Kent and his new parents imbued him with a strong moral compass. Very early he discovered his superhuman abilities, which he uses for the benefit of humanity. As Clark Kent Superman lives with the humans as a “shy reporter” for the Metropolis newspaper Daily Planet. There he works with the reporter Lois Lane, with whom he is romantically linked.

Superman's personality is rough and aggressive with a strong moral compass. The values that he represents to me are a strong engagement with the humanity and a big love to the earth and Clark Kent’s family and friends.

I like this superhero because he has some extraordinary powers!!! Superman's famous arsenal of powers has included: flight, super-strength, invulnerability to non-magical attacks, super-speed, vision powers, super-hearing, and super-breath.

Jerome Brunner

In my field, the psychology, I admire Jerome Bruner. Hi is an American psychologist who has contributed to cognitive psychology and cognitive learning theory in educational psychology.

            One of his works has been to distinguish three basics ways whereby the man represents his mental models and the reality: 1. Enactive representation (action-based), 2.Iconic representation (image-based) and 3.Symbolic representation (language-based).

            I like Jerome Bruner because his theory has had important implications in the education and in the pedagogy. I like very much his interest about the evolution of cognitive child’s abilities.

            One of his criticisms is in the fact about which many important things that the culture suggests has been forgotten in the school.

            Some important masterpieces are:

• A Study of Thinking (1956)
• Processes of Cognitive Growth: Infancy (1968)
• Child's Talk: Learning to Use Language (1983)
• Acts of Meaning, Harvard University Press (1990)
• Minding the Law, Harvard University Press (2000)
• Making Stories: Law, Literature, Life, Harvard University Press (2003)

I hope my second grade classmates like this important man and his theory because they will see him in the Psicología del desarrollo’s class.

It's me =)

Hello my dear classmates!

Through this piece of writing I want you to know more about me and what are my objectives during this blog experience. Well, as you know, my name is Carolina Moreno, I’m 21 years old, I am studying Psychology at Universidad de Chile, and I live in Maipú with my parents. I have only one sister, her name is Gabriela. Our relationship as sisters is great, because we always are doing things together, she is so funny and also a good friend. One of my favorite things I enjoy in life is dancing. I think you can be free moving your body wherever you want. It’s so cool! In fact, this semester I took an artistic subject called contemporary dance. Related on what is my greatest this semester is that my English can be better, especially in writing and also I hope do not make a lot of grammatical mistakes.

I hope you have enjoyed my post.

See you soon!

Regards

My favorite movie

This great movie is set in 1999 in Buenos Aires, Argentina and it was told in racconto form.

It was directed by Juan José Campanella and written by Eduardo Sacheri and Juan José Campanella.

I saw this film in my holidays this year, with my best friends. That day was great because we went to a fantastic pool in La Reina in the afternoon, and with this fascinating film that we saw atnight, my day was even better.

It`s a drama film, and it stars Ricardo Darín and Soledad Villamil who play the main roles.The story is about a man (Benjamín Espósito) who is recently pensioner, and worked all his life in a criminal court. Therefore he decides writing a novel based in a real story in which he has been witness and protagonist. The novel he writes is, apparently, a story about a murder in which takes place in Buenos Aires, 1974 and from an investigation to find the guilty.The interesting thing of this movie is that the protagonist will be able to dive in his own feelings, behaviors and decisions.

It’s important to know that this film won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language  at the 82nd Academy Awards.

I like this movie because the plot is about a crime and I like very much this kind of movies, besides this film is spoken in my favorite language, Spanish. Also because is a very interesting film that is not boring, is not predictable and mix my two favorite genders, drama and love.

Finally I’ll give you the official link: http://www.elsecretodesusojos.com/
