Todos los gestos cuentan una historia

Cuando pensamos en lenguaje y comunicación normalmente pensamos en hablar. Pero nuestros gestos y movimientos, en otras palabras nuestro lenguaje corporal, dice mucho más de nosotros que nuestras palabras. El lenguaje corporal también nos dice lo que otros están pensando y sintiendo también.

Un psicólogo experto dice que las palabras son un 7 por ciento de las de nuestra comunicación, mientras que el 93 por ciento son de señales silenciosas. Los niños lo entienden naturalmente, pero nosotros crecemos el cambio de énfasis hacia las palabras y perdemos la habilidad de recoger estas señales silenciosas. Los adultos son muy buenos para decir cosas que no necesariamente quieren. El lenguaje corporal trabaja junto con el lenguaje verbal, pero a veces ambas con contradictorias. Por ejemplo, la gente puede decir que esta de acuerdo contigo, y al mismo tiempo inclinando su silla hacia atrás y apoyándose lejos de ti. Distanciándose físicamente de ti, en realidad están expresando desacuerdo.

"Algunas personas son extremadamente buenas mintiendo con el lenguaje corporal", dice el psicólogo. Por ejemplo, los políticos aprenden a usar ciertos gestos para crear una buena impresión. Pero no son tan exitosos como esperan. Antes de creer lo que ves en la cara de una persona deberías moverte hacia atrás para ver todo su cuerpo. Lo más lejos que estés de su cara más verdaderas las personas se ponen.

Algunos gestos faciales, sin embargo, los hacemos instintivamente. Por ejemplo, las pupilas de nuestros ojos se dilatan cuando nos atrae alguien. Mucho del lenguaje corporal lo hacemos inconscientes. Si queremos usar y entender los gestos con éxito, necesitamos estar conscientes de ellos y de sus diferentes significados. Vigilar nuestro lenguaje corporal en nosotros y en otros nos ayuda a comunicarnos mejor. Si aprendes a descifrar y usar bien el lenguaje corporal se te dará tan fluido como el lenguaje verbal.

Once upon a time there was a group of people  celebrating that Brad has graduated from college, there was his family and also his friends. They were in the best  restaurant in town having their meal, and Brad order his favorite dish fried fich with french fries. He was really happy of graduating because he wasn't sure that he could make it. Every one was really happy about it.

When they were having dessert something weird happend, the lights sudenly turn off and everything was really dark, no one could see a thing. In the middle on the dark everyone heard a really scary noise, was a woman screaming, Brad didn't know what to do, so he stayed siting there.

No one moved a finger until the lights turn on five minutes later, and every one stand up of their sit asking what happend, Brad's friends wanted to leave, but his father didn't let them, something happend and they haved to fing out what was it.

-Is someone missing? - the father ask.

-Annie! I can't find Annie! - Rachel, one of Brad's friends of college, scream.

- Annie? Annie! Annie! - Everyone said.

Almost everyone stand of their sits and start looking for the missing everywhere, under the tables, in the bathroom and the kitchen, but they couldn't go out because the doors were closed.

Annie Jones was a medicin student in Brad's college, they met because they had friends in comun , like Rachel, she was a very healthy and nice girl, she did charity work and no one knew of a bad habit of her.

What happend with Annie Jones? That was the question without answer.

-Calm down! I already call the police! But no one can leave this restaurant until they get here, we are all suspects - Brad's fathers said to the crowd of scared people.

- George! Their is a young girl missing! And you are asking us to calm down! I don't think thats posible - Brad's mother repond.

30 minutes later the police arrived to the restaurant, they register every person in the place including the suff from the restaurnant, like the chefs, and waiters, and the other custumers, they have no idea of what was going on. 

Brad was worried about Annie, she was a great person, and she was is friend, so he decided to understand who could kidnap her. He went to talk to Rachel ( Annie's best friend and roomate).

- Hi Rachel, how are you?

- How do you think I am!? Annie is missing and there is no clue of what happend to her!

- Cam down! I'm just trying to understant what is going on, I want to help.

- Well, there is nothing you can do.

- Do you know if there was someone who was angry at Annie? or someone who didn't like her?

- No idea.

Then, the police let people go out, and no one loose the time, they were pushing each other in the door to leave the fast that they could.

Brad stays and ask the police if they had any clue of what happend to Annie, and they respond:

- Thats a secret of the state.

- Sorry?

- It's clasified information and unless you are the president or a minister you can't know.

Ok, what a mistery.

The fire alarm

I.

1- Jennifer

2-  Paranoid and Worried

3- There was a fire

4- People didn't go out 

5-  Jennifer's hears a loud alarm

6- People had to leave the building

7- The firemen never arrived to the school

8- The oficcer used a key to turn it off

II. 

If I were Jennifer, I had left the building as quickly as possible and I would called the firefighters my selfl. Later after the shock had passed I get in the school to help out people who needed help, such as the old people and little children, because there are little kids in schools. 

When there are fires you don't have to  worry about material things you have to worry about saving your own life and help the other people if it is possible, because sometimes is not posible and you have to leave and save yourself, thats waht you have to do.

Hachiko, A dog's story

Theme: Pets


We think that this movie is very very sad, yes, is very sad, because the teacher dies and the dog too. We think it is one of the saddest movies you've seen since the titanic and the notebook and many more now do not remember. This movie remember us to the story of javi's cousins jorgito and mati. They had a pair of birds called flo and Raymond, one day flo ate raymond and javi's cousins did not know of this tragedy. they thought raymond had escaped.They suffered a lot. For that their mom (javi's aunt)bought a new bird named Raymond 2. The bird along very very well with his new wife flo. They tried to have Raymond 2 junior and flo junior but they could not. After a while Raymond began to feel bad and he didn't hear the signals of his body and died. Flo was destroyed. She had serious eating problems. she overcome with the arrival of a new partner, cappuccino. Later flo died.

What historical figure do you most identify with? Why?

Diana Frances Spencer, Princess of Wales

Born in Norfolk, England being the third daughter of five, his parents divorced when she was eight. She lived with her mother and younger brothers until her father asked for her custody.

She spent her life living at times with her father in England and with her mother in Scotland constantly changing school, her dream was to be a dancer.

In 1981 she married Prince Charles of Wales gaining the title "Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales" she became very popular for her contributions to humanitarian work and for her very charismatic image. Together they had two sons Prince William and Prince Harry.
His marriage ended in 1992, rumors were saying that the reason for the break was by the fame of rebel of the princess and the prince of boring.

Diana died in 1997 in a tragic car accident with her partner at that time.

I feel identified by her because she became what every girl always dreamed about, but when she got it, it made us realize that it was not perfect as you can imagined and that she suffered a lot, but she remained attached to people and helping charity.

From which person have you learned most in your life? Why?

Many people have influenced my life, my family, my friends and many people I've met. One of the people who influenced me most obviously is my mom, because I have lived all my life with her and she raised me and taught me everything.

Other people from whom I learned a lot are my grandparents, I spent almost every holiday of my life with them, they taught me manners, history on the family and have told me their experiences in life, they have many things to tell and I like to listen to them.

I think these three are the most I learned, I practically grew up with them and they are the most important people in my life, including other people.

I have also been influenced by my friends, my tastes, my thinking, my interests, all that changes when you meet someone else, your tastes and knowledge are expanding, that's what I like about meeting new people, everybody has something to teach you.

Renewable energy

Renewable energy is a very important issue these days, because they are running out of other energy sources such as oil. New energy sources are inexhaustible, such as solar or wind energy.

Renewable energy sources are continuously and inexhaustible. The sun is the source of most of them because their energy on Earth causes pressure differences to generate wind, wind energy source. The sun orders the water cycle that gives rise to water power. Finally, the sun is used directly in two ways thermal and photovoltaic.

Renewable energy is also energy sources environmentally friendly. Producing energy is currently causing a very negative impact on the environment. Renewable energy does not emit CO2 and other polluting gases into the atmosphere, renewables are also local sources as renewables reduce dependence on fuel imports.

I think it's important to educate people to learn the potential of these new types of energy.

Padre Hurtado

Father Alberto Hurtado is very important for Chile because it was the second saint after St. Teresa of the Andes.

He ws born in Valparaiso in 1901 and he moved to santiago when he was 4 years old. After study at the San Ignacio School, he found his calling to help the poorest.

He studied law but began in the priesthood, dedicated himself to bring youth to the church, worked as a teacher and dedicated to helping poor people.

He founded "Hogar de Cristo" in 1944. He was the one who put the first stone to build the head. quarters in Estación Central.

I think father Hurtado has been very important for all the Chileans, he has been an example for all of us, he is the face of solidarity and founder of a very beneficent institution.

What do you think about extreme sports?

Extreme sports are sports that present a risk for difficult or extreme conditions in which they practice, there are some less dangerous as parkour, surfing, skateboarding or paintball but there are some really dangerous sports as bungee jumping, hydro speed, paragliding and a fairly common but can still have their risks as motocross.

I have nothing against extreme sports, people can practice them if they want to, obviously with all the precautions to be taken, but I would not do one of these sports because I'm not brave than I'm scared of heights (this rule bungee jumping).

Of all extreme sports that I like most is snowboarding, but I still wouldn't practice it. :)
