First of all, I must say that I love writing, since this is another way of expressing feeling and ideas. I had had blogging experience before this class, and I really like it. I think that sometimes write about what you feel or think could be really useful for everybody.

About blogging in the class, I think it was great. It’s a good way to practice reading and writing skills. What is more, it is a way of breaking the routine. I mean, there is no reason to stay always in the classroom looking at the book. Is there?

There are many ways to improve our knowledge, with different methodologies. Each time, there are more and more sources to be used. So, let’s take advantage of them.

In general, I have liked the methodology used this semester. It has been more dynamic, funny and useful at the same time, even considering the nastiness that teacher shows at times with some of us. Jajakjakaja! Especially about time, the hour of arriving, etc. Little unfair, but doesn’t matter.

Certainly, it has helped me to improve my English skills. I think that by using blogs, you can learn from others, and you can also know more about your classmates thinking, interests, etc. It could be useful to establish better relationships as well. Obviously, I’ll continue using both of my blogs. I have always had a thing about writing, so I can’t stop doing it. It’s one of the things that I enjoy the most.

About my weaknesses and strengths

I think that my weakest part of English is the oral. I mean speaking. And, I consider that there could have had more opportunities to practice it. Anyway, it’s ok. I know it is just a matter of practice.

I feel satisfied about the teacher performance and mine too. I know I can more but, this semester wasn’t the best for me to get it.

How to get ahead in Business without really trying?

Who wouldn’t like to be promoted or earn lots of money by doing almost anything and having great times at the workplace? I’d like to.

Reading the Brisbane time newspaper, I found this fantastic article which is about the new book of Stanley Bing subtitled "A Survival Guide to the New Workplace”. It comes out on November 17, and it has included lot of advices to enjoy more being in the workplace. Some strategic tips such as how to delegate, how to identify a remote problem to justify an expense-paid business trip, how to establish better relationships with colleagues, etc.

Stanley Bing said that the secret is learning and adapting the tricks of powerful, successful people, noticing how these people manage their time and careers. "A Survival Guide to the New Workplace” is a handbook for people who haven't yet attained what they would consider powerful status, to be able to use some of the same tricks that their bosses do and make it work.

I chose this piece of new because I think is important to have some strategies to love your job a little bit more. It’s the place where you spend almost your whole day, so would be a great idea to be more cheerful there. To have great time while working is more important than not do anything there. Job is an important factor in how your mood goes everyday. I think that using some of these strategies we can avoid having social conflicts and also being stressed.

Chilean society presents high percents of stress problems and unemployment what can also be related to how we cope and feel in the workplace. So, I’d really recommend this book to everybody, especially Chilean society.
