Essay

¿Should students use their cell phones in the classroom?  In Chile, and in the world in general, students use their cell phones while they are in classes. This phenomenon can be caused by the increase of the use of social networks or the use of internet or other types of resources for academic purposes. In this essay, we will review the arguments sorrounding this issue, although this essay will argue why it is better not to use the cell phone in classes.  Use the cell phone in class has some advantages if the student occupies it responsibly. First, cell phone has many applications to help solve doubts about the class, if the student does not understand a point of the subject. Second, using phones today helps in the skills that a person should have in the current 21st century, for example, to work with technology in the future.

Free time

Hi classmates! Today, in this blog, I am going to talk about an activity that I like to do in my free time. Lately, I have not had much free time, to be honest. Whatever. I like to draw. In fact, I already mentioned it in a previous post, but it doesn't matter haha. I like to draw people, faces exactly.

Language

Pagel start by saying that language can implant ideas in your mind. He start with the story of Babel tower in Bible and says that this story is a warning about the power of language. He references this story because God felt that his power can finish with this tower that people want to make. For this reason, God destroyed the tower and scattered the people, bu giving them different languages, to ensure that the tower would never be rebuilt. I think that this opinion about the origin of language it's kind of religious, and maybe he need to investigate with other focus of attention, but it's a good analogy to start. To understand the evolution, he start to talking about chimpanzees. He says that chimpanzees can't imitate, they can't learn from others mistakes. From my point of view, this explains why chimpanzees have live in this way always, doing the same thing for years. In the other hand, he start to talk about Neanderthals. He says that we are not sure that they ...
