Educational system effectiveness

Buildind the perfect educational system is an impossible task  as perfection normally is an unreachable form. Nevertheless, we can always inspire ourselves to accomplish it or at least get close to the concept.
An utopian education would be a class where both teacher and students participate, teaching in a way that improves the capacity to think by themselves, and not only memorizing concepts to later barf them in the exam and past a few days ask what were they. Educational system will always be unfair, no matter what high charges do, because there are people who excel in more important tasks who are never required to pass studies, and then, someday you'll get to see those people frustrated, because they never succeeded against library rats who stayed the whole day before the exam, locked at home memorizing things to get a good mark, which should never be considered as a future decider. It's all about adapting and taking advantage of opportunities.

It's upseting how accurate this is.

Does new generations abuse of the cellphone use?

Our generation is fully dependent on cellphones. This might happen because this device incoporates a number of indispensable apps such as gps, calculator, flashlight, whatsapp and many others. The main use of cellphones declines to everything related to comunication and social media.
As we can see, we have sustained reasons of why do we need our phones,although we are crossing the thin line of overuse. The purpose of this device, as I have said is to improve comunication but it seems like it has done quite the opposite, and it's ironic, because wherever you go, everyone will be with their eyes fixed on the screens and as a consequence, we all may lack of face to face comunication. Let images do words job.

Future role of computers in education

Schools are debating wether the use of computer in class would be beneficial for students or a simple distraction. I'll try to analyse it from 3 different points of view: in the classroom, for teachers and towards learning,
One computer and a projector in every classroom is essencial, as in one hand, every school now use their own websites to control attendance and on the other hand, teachers can make more interactive and dynamic classes with videos and power points. This leads teachers, who thanks to the computering, to have a small part of their job simplified and it can help to engage students to follow the class and maintain their constant attention. For learning, computers can have a bright side or a dark side. They can be a really useful tool despite the fact that any device with internet is a easy way of distraction.
In my opinion, there's no doubt that there should be one computer on every class for teacher's use to improve classes. Students, however, should keep the traditional way of learning.

Is being a Youtuber rentable?

In the past few years youtubers have become very popular and influential items for our society, mainly to the youngest. That's the reason why more and more people are trying to fit in this world of entertainment.
The majority doesn't think that being a youtuber is a serious job although this industry should not be underestimated. A perfect example to support this argument is "Pewdiepie", the most subscribed youtuber. He has over 40 million subscribers and thanks to his gaming videos, he gains over 12 million dollars per year. In addition, recording videos is not their only source of income, knowing that they usually take into the market their own books.
To conclude with, being a youtuber is undoubtedly a rentable job, however we need to understand that it isn't an easy job and not until you don't achieve an important sum of viewers, you won't produce any benefits.

Spanish or english?

I've always handled myself with english pretty decently, although these few years living in Spain made me realize I feel more confident speaking in spanish, and that's not unusual at all, because for me, the environment makes the speaker, above everything. Putting yourself in a situation where you need to develope a language by any means makes you learn faster than going to spanish classes but living in U.K, per example.
I've always admired  spanish for its variety in literature and how poetic it can be, but don't misjudge me; I'm not saying english sounds like a dirty idiom but I hate the fact that there are so many meanings and less significants. In the other hand, I'd rather write in english for the rest of my life than  in spanish, but that's personal preferences but briefly:
For speaking: spanish
To writting: english.

Dross

DrossRotZank is a very interesting youtube channel which I highly recomend to all those people who want to have fun, and learn at the same time. Ángel David Revilla, better known as dross used to upload a lot of different things to his channel, from gameplays to Q&A sessions called "Dross contesta preguntas estúpidas", but now he mainly uploads top 7's and horror stories.

I don't blame you if at first sight you think that this is a common and boring channel, but I invite you to find out his true talent, narration.

Dross is very talented when it comes to establish a scary/dismal atmosphere to his stories, and that makes him different from the others, apart from the inusual topics of his top 7 videos, like:

Top 7 most disturbing suicides

Top 7 most weird music genres

Top 7 most horrible death penalties

Top 7 scariest places on earth, etc...

 

Resident Evil 4

General:
So, I thought it was a good idea to bring some videogame topic to this blog as a "your say", and getting it started with a childhood game wouldn't be bad. Resident Evil 4, first horror-survival game I played when I was young, and the one who introduced into the resident evil franchise as well. This game brings me back so many memories, and nightmares too! I can barely remember the day I finished it, but I felt so happy! The pain was over, because it was indeed a pain in the ass to finish it, considering that a eight-year-old boy shouldn't be playing this hehe. Jumpscares, horrifying enemies, scary atmosphere because of the soundtrack and the environment, charismatic characters and a nice plot  made this game a masterpiece.


Plot:
Leon is a US agent who received a mission to rescue the president's daughter, ashley, who was kidnapped by a weird spanish religious cult, who seem to worship a god, called Saddler, created by "Las plagas", which was the virus they used to infect people. Through his campaign, Leon will go through different sscenarios, 3 in total: The spanish village with peasant zombies ( a cool detail about this game is the fact that some of the people who got infected could still preserve human habits, like talk, use weapons, work, plan ambushes, etc...but they were really violent with strangers ), The spanish castle with religious zombies dressed like monks saying "morir es vivir" and  The Island with soldier zombies, to rescue Ashley and get her back home.

Most terrifying experience
1 word. REGENERATOR.

My very first encounter with him made me turn off my Ps2, because of how scared I was. Your first encounter  with him is in the Island, where you enter a hospital, more exactly, in a surgery room. When you get in, you see him through a window, lying on a bed, but the door is closed so you can't get near. Once you collect a key to progress to the next part of the game, you hear the noise of the jammed door, getting open. The music starts, and you hear his asthmatic breathing. He's an obnoxious enemy because you can only kill him shooting in 3-4 specific body locations, where the virus resides, if you shoot anywhere else (arms, legs, head, stomach), it will explode, but past a few minutes, he will recover from it, in other words, Regenerate it.

Some questions for next year

1.  Can you see an improvement on your level of English in the past year/s?  Where, for example?

Yes. Because 2 years ago, i dind't feel confident when it comes to speak to someone in english, and my grammar got better to.

2. Which activity best shows your level of English?

Listening.

3. Which activities were really USEFUL for you to improve your English? Why?

Skills. Because when you do a sort of exam without studying and pass it, you know your real level and not something your going to forget a few days later, and that's when you see improvement.

4. Which activities did you NOT find useful to learn English? Why not?

Each one of the activities made me improve. None of them were useless.

5. Which activities would like to do again next year to keep on improving your English? ( They're in red)

Pranks in the hood

Seeing the title, you can get a quick idea of how things go, but it's more than doing "pranks in the hood". Explaining it with little details, a couple of guys go to the most poor cities, or how we call it, "Ghettos" of US and practically, do pranks against mostly black people, waiting to see how's the reaction, like a social experiment. Usually they ask people things using wordsplay like: Do you want to get popped? It has a double meaning. One of them is to get shot and the other one is to have a drink and as soon as the black guys hear it, they run agressvily against the guy and starts knocking the shit out of him. Meanwhile, they do the same with white people and get completly different reactions. I leave this here for you to judge. Black people is more agressive than white people? What do you think?

Poetry

Sweet poetry. Since I was introduced to rap, I started to feel an interest about poetry. The idea of talking about your feelings, with strophes, verses, rhymes and beautiful words just amaze me, and it's even better if it is in english ( at least for me). Poetry requires control above the language, and an imagination with no limits. There's so much freedom to talk about whatever you want and feel confortable linking one word to another.

One day I hope to control all the elements, forms and genres of the poetry and start doing some real texts and professional poems and then, compare them to the ones I've made during my adolescence, just to see the lyrical change.

Homosexuality

Homosexuality...I don't know where should I start. Sharing your point of view about these "unstable" topics are like screaming: People, insult me because I hate/ I have nothing against them.

But yeah, I hate them. Since I was a kid, I was educated with a strong religion influence, and even though I'm not Thaaaat religious, I think homosexuality is wrong. There are two kind of genders, male and female. You beggin as one of these two, and you'll end up with someone of the opposite gender, so, why people try to change it?

It's gross, and see how people defend it's even worst. All they say is: If they love each other, why not? Yeah, WHY NOT? Talking about this make me sick, I just don't like it, that's it.

Social Networks

So this is one of the millions of tools that people make bad use of it.

I'm one of those who just use them to talk to others and that's it( this blog is obligatory, if not I wouldn't even been doing it).

When I see people uploading photos everyday, uploading quotes every hour, connected every time of day...Only if I could make them think about the interesting things the could been doing instead of sitting tight there looking to a screen chatting. These today's generations...Damn, what have we done to end up like this? It's like some sort of addiction to some, and it really bugs me out.

Exams

Exams are a way to qualify students through their educational period, apart from behaviour and homework.

Usually the most important way. Well, and if I tell you that the educational system is broken?

Your intelligence can't be measured by an exam's mark. Even dumb people could study to apply these things they "learnt" to put it in an exam to get a good mark and that's it. Cutting to the chase, the message I want to tell you, who's reading this is: don't feel bad for failing an exam. Not going to lie, they decide your future, but don't prove how smart you are. Don't study things to have a comfortable life, study them because you like it and it's interesting.

single-parent families

For some kind of reason, since I arrived in Europe, I noticed that a lot of friends of mine live with a single-parent family.

It's a shame to see that after having a kid, some couples break, mainly because of cheating, or drinking problems, matterfact, some of them are better being separated one from the other.

Another fact that I saw a lot, is that most of the kids live with their moms, or normally spends weekends with the father and the rest with their mother, but never stick only with their father.

Some kids never accept the fact of seeing their parents living separatly, and usually grow with a strange conduct.

The worst thing come when you get a step mother/ father and you don't like him. Yeah, that happens a lot.

But think about it. If the only parental member in your family for you is your dad or your mom, don't complain, just thank him/ her for making these 2 roles in your life.

STAN

As my second "yoursay" about music, I'm going to talk about STAN.

Stan is a HipHop song made by Eminem, and it has two versions. One of them is featuring a british singer called Dido and the other one is with Elton John. It was released in the 99's, and even though it is old, the first time I heard it, I thought it was from the late 2000's.

 It is a really sad song.

STAN stands for stalker and fan. Why? Well, back in the day and still happens, some eminem fans take him to the extrem and EM tried to send a message to his fans: He was trying to say that he's just a normal person who produces music to people who like rap and hiphop, not much else.

Behind these words, the videoclip shows a guy called stan, who complains about his life, lives in a trailer and treats his girlfriend like trash, even knowing she's pregnant. The song has 4 verses, all of them are made by Eminem, but at the three first ones, he's interpreting Stan, writing mails to eminem and getting mad because he doesn't answer him. At the end of the third verse, he throws his car to drown himself in a river with his girlfriend in the trunk because Eminem didn't answer him.

At the fourth verse, Eminem's answering him while listening to the news. After writing a couple of lines he sees in the TV that a guy called STAN drowned himself in the river with his girlfriend and left a tape in the car, which said it was Eminem's fault.

Elton John's Chorus:

My tea's gone cold and I'm wondering why I...

Got out of  bed at all

The morning rain clouds up my window...

And I can't see at all

And even if I could it'll all be gray, but your picture on my wall...

It reminds me, that it's not so bad

Not so bad...

Some cool translated quotes from the song:

See, I'm just like you in a way...I never knew my father neither, he always used to cheat on my mom and beat her.

Ves, de un modo soy como tu...Nunca conocí a mi padre tampoco,él siempre solia engañar a mi madre y pegarla.
But I didn't slit her throat, I just tied her up, see? I ain't like you. Cause if she suffocates, then she'll suffer more and she'll die too...
Pero no le corté la garganta, solo la até, ves? No soy como tu. Porque si ella se ahoga, sufrirá más y de todas formas morirá...

I really think you and your girlfriend need each other, or maybe you just need to treat her better...

De verdad creo que tu y tu novia os necesitais el uno al otro, o tal vez solo has de tratarla mejor...

Do you like blogs?

Personally, I don't. Sometimes, I just think it's a waste of time, and it's a bit boring, or at least when you beggin with it. It's cool to share information, your opinion and other stuff with people you don't know, but I don't like to do it when there's no feedback. Usually I like to discuss things with other people on internet about topics that I like to talk about, but when it comes to do it frequently, I think i'm just wasting my time and if you do it, because a school assignature requires it, it's even worst. Let's see if I change my mind with the pass of time...

Youtube

Youtube is one of the most visited websites in the internet. It's used to upload videos of any kind of topics. People upload songs, tutorials, movies, videogames content, etc... Almost everyday I visit it, because it's pretty entertaining. I watch mostly, famous youtubers who uploads parodies about songs, videogames walkthroughs, and song lyrics too. I like to share my opinion with other people who watch the same stuff as I do and support the folks who upload things just to entertain or help us, even though, I know that most part of them get paid for the views. I remember when I was little and it's only useful purpose was  listen to music and throughout time, things changed a lot, but I think it is quite better now. 

The Illuminati

                                                 ·Its known as the order of the perfect ones. It's a secret society which was created with the secret purpose of beating the other countries governments and kingdoms, creating one only nation and eradicate any other religion·.
I can't agree with this. There are no perfect people in this world. It's impossible to achieve perfection and if you don't like the other religions, you just sit tight and greeth your teeth, because you have to respect the other cultures and religions. About destroying the governments, I understand, you don't like how it works, but if people are not satisfied, with the ones they already have, why would they enjoy to be part of a obligatory and unique government.

I hear people talk about it, a lot, like they influence in our lives, meanwhile, they're just a bunch of guys who act secretly, but yet, they got money and power. You doesn't have to bother too much about it. They're objectives are almost impossible to achieve and they've been existing since 1776, and I don't see how they make part of the history.

Sports

                                      
Practice a sport, is something that's primordial in people's life. It's a hobby which keeps you busy for a long time, specially, if you try to master it. I've been practicing Basketball since I was 9 and man, I really love it. I doesn't only occupy your free time, but if you're really consistent practicing it, you get some physical improvements and upgrade your motor coordination.
I really think running is one of the best activities to improve your physical, but I find it really boring when you're just running for that. I mean I like to do it, but only if there's some sort of competition, playing in teams, trying to reach a goal. But it's not just about running around like fools; you got to use your head too, for a lot of different situations, especially in basket, I think.
If you're someone lazy, sloppy, someone who just spend the day siting around your ass, join a sport team. Use your a ambition as a method to keep going, and you'll see that in the end, It benefits you.

Two and a Half Men

                                         
PLOT:
"Two and a half men" is an american  Tv show that started on september 22, 2003. The series began with Alan, Charlie and Jake, the Harper family. When Alan gets divorced from his wife, Judith, he gets kicked out of home and after searching a lot, he asks charlie to stay at his home, with Jake for a couple of days or weeks ( ends up being years).
Charlie life is based on writing commercial jingles with his piano, alcohol, prostitutes and waking up when it's already by the night,and soon, Alan is going to get pissed because this is not a proper enviroment for his son to be living, although, he can't do nothing because it's Charlie's house.
Alan is a massagist who has to deal with his son, work, argue with his wife almost everyday, and has no success with woman. His life is miserable and painful, because he almost have no money, and he always wanted to be like his brother, or at least, live like him, but both of them have one weakness: Their mother. She's called Evelyn and during the series, she's described as the worst mother of the world, a demon and a bad influence for her sons. She used to hang out with guys, and had Alan accidentaly( she said it to Alan).

Personal Opinion: 
I really loved to watch this program. Used to laugh a lot watching it almost every night in neox. I highly recommend it( not if you're 12 or less). Almost every character has an important role in the story, and I garantee that you will not regret giving it a chance.
Forgot something. Maybe you'll find it a bit boring after season 8, because Charlie got kicked out, because he used to be late to record, used to be drunk during the assays and he complained about: 1.000.000 dollars per episode was to low for him. Oh c'mon man...Guess who replaced him.
Ashton Kutcher, the funniest guy in the world. Sarcasm.
