Mexican culture through the years

According to Ángel Castiñeira and Josep M. Lozano (2012), “Education is not only reproduction and transmission of what is established, but also criticism and questioning of what is established”,in our opinion and based on the video, education is known as the knowledge base that is acquired over time, the first moment where knowledge is acquired is from home, parents are those educators who impart values, feelings and attitudes, when the child grows, the educational nstitutions are those that impart knowledge of subjects, attitudes and integration in life to achieve success.Talking about how hard is for Mexican students to get in into the school they want because of their social and economic status; this may affect in their school development. This situation forces the students to have a temporary job, to help with the family economy, and in consequence they neglect studies. In Resources for education, it is the search for tools that help the need to combat economic problems that arise ...

  A BLOG Exercise 7 SB, pag.29 On Sunday 2nd February, my school organized an open day for students to learn about all the extra activities or school clubs. The event took place in the parking school. All the students came, the clubs were art, photography, handball, school choir, science, volleyball, football clubs. Many teachers, administrators and authorities attended the event, and they got surprised about the reaction of the students and how the clubs were filled. In my view, the day was spectacular, my friend and I signed in the club we wanted. Only, I would like to change the school choir club for the musical instrument many students want this. And I would like this event was in the morning.   A BLOG Exercise 6 WB, pag.25 Last Friday was the first meeting of volleyball club and the club took place on the volleyball courts.

An opinion essay. Many parents think that playing sports at school takes time away from students and is not very useful, but why do they think that? Can a solution be found? In my point of view, the main cause of this thinking is that Physical Education classes seem like hours of play that have no purpose. Schools have forgotten to plan activities that do exercise the bodies of young people. Another problem is the difficulty in organizing the students, especially the younger, because when they leave the classroom, they do not follow orders and a lot of class time is lost. Maybe this could be avoided by explaining the activity before going out to the field, since they will already know what to do and the environment wouldn´t distract them. That is why I strongly believe that the solution would be to start changing the strategies that have been implemented in recent years, to get young people to take advantage of those hours of class by exercising and not playing. I also recomm...

  Exercise 5 page 29 In December of last year, some clubs participated in activities to celebrate Christmas. Because of the pandemic, everything was done and shared on Facebook. Many clubs participated, including the school choir, drama society, photography club and art club. Club teachers organized the students for each presentation. The young people at home prepared backgrounds for the plays, paintings for the art club and the school choir recorded themselves singing. The school Facebook page received a lot of positive feedback from the school community. Many classmates shared the school choir videos and some parents commented on the posts. In my opinion all the presentations were good, the colleagues put a lot of energy into them, the video of the play was very nice even though it was recorded in different places. I think the preparations for the presentations were done in a short time and that is why there were some problems, like in the arts club, where some ...

  Student´s book activity Last week my school gave a show of all the clubs that we have, we took like two weeks to organize it, because we wanted to be perfect. The school show took place in the school auditorium. All parents and relatives were invited, also teachers from other subjects; we heard the comments and they were so happy and impressed for all the work for the different clubs, and the even congratulate us. I think that this kind of shows, we must keep doing it, because we can show people, in what we have been working all year.   But, not everything is perfect, I think that there are some things that should change, such as the time arrival and organization. Workbook activity Last week I joined the volleyball club in my school, I took my first session on Wednesday at the volleyball court and I was surprised about how big the court was. It attended most of my friends, because we all choose this club, we first start to running all around the club, and then the co...

  Exercise 8 SB pag.39 Most people agree that the sports in the school because they think it is the best and help them live. But are the sports affect the school? I strongly believe that it is wrong, today´s the sports help to many students in them live. For example, in my school we have sports after classes and so they do not affect, and you can do it. But we never forget that the school is more important than sports or only you will dedicate to do this all the time and all the live. In my view, the sports in the school are very cool, fun and a distraction of all the homework, it is a propose of many people that to be more active in their lives. To conclude, in the school will be more extra activities as sports for the students and teach them the important that is the school and education before the sport. Exercise 5 WB pg.37 Some people believe that the teenagers can not arrive a healthy lifestyle because to the teenager love the fast food and less in the school. In...

SB/3H/P39 EX. 8 As I see it, most teenagers spent a lot of time playing games or watching series on electronic gadgets. Not only that, but they may not get enough rest to feel like exercising. What I propose is that there be sports clubs within school hours, at least twice a week, so that it does not interfere with the other classes. Moreover, another solution might be that schools offer a place where teenagers can go and play sports with their friends at the end of classes, so it is more fun for them and they feel motivated. In conclusion, lack of exercise can lead to health problems, so it is vital that we act now. In my opinion, parents should also care about their children and help them to be healthier.

  TEENAGERS AND ELECTRONIC GADGETS   Nowadays teenagers and young people spent their live using electronic gadgets all day, which concern all the time to the parents, teachers, and people around them. As they for saying in some way, they were born with electronic devices, they have learned how to use them so quickly in it has become a sort of a life style for them, and a way to communicate or doing most of the things. Firstly, I would like to talk about the advantages that teenagers have using the electronic devices and gadgets, one of the is that they learn how to use de electronic, and it might be awake on them the curiosity of learning more about it. Also that can communicate by social media with their friends, and be in touch with them at any time of that day, they even play games, with video chat to socialize in that way. Secondly let’s talk about the disadvantages of using electronic gadgets, one of them is that they spent hours and hours in their devices, is like ...
