City of Santiago

Hello classmates today I m going to talk about the Most biggest city of my country: Santiago of Chile.

This city is the capital of Chile, was founded on February 15, 1541, is the main financial, administrative, cultural and government of the country, the official language is Spanish, has a population of over 6 million people and is composed of 37 communes.
Santiago is located in central Chile, located in the area known as "cuenca de Santiago", surrounded by a great mountain system, this geographic feature gives you a wealth of its landscape, but unfortunately this is interrupted by the high pollution produced by the cars, houses, factories, etc.

In Santiago one of the best and efficient transport systems would santiago metro network in a few minutes you can reach different parts of this great city, there are also other alternatives to travel, such as bus system, taxis. sometimes both morning and evening there are problems of congestion in the streets, so travel can last longer than necessary.

Santiago has many attractive places what you can visit, especially its center foundation, has beautiful architecture and a great variety of activities for different tastes. For example La Plaza de Armas is a good place, it can find historical buildings, such as the Santiago Metropolitan Cathedral, the Central Post Office, the National Historical Museum, the municipality of Santiago, among others, also you can find many shops, as those of traditional Chilean and international food. Near of this place, you can also visit  La Plaza de la Ciudadania, located opposite El Palacio de la Moneda, you can find there also a big  underground cultural center called Centro Cultural Palacio la Moneda, here you can find attractive shopping and art exhibitions.
Other attractive places you can not miss, could be the Cerro Santa lucia and Cerro San Cristobal, these are important viewpoints and places that you can contact with nature in the center of this city.

Ken Robinson: Do schools kill creativity?

Hello, classmate,  in this day I am going to comment a video of Ken Robison.I agree with him that many times there are children with an impressive talent and eventually lost. In my personal experience the college and university have given me space to develop my creativity, school develop my talent in drawing and painting, also had talent for the theater, but that it develops only in basic education, In the case of Chili, many of the schools we see that they look for only good results for the simce or psu but dont see the actual potential concerned of each student, But also not just something that schools may potentiate, families play a key role, if parents see that their children have a potential can cause children to develop their potential taking it to courses in art, dance, karate, soccer, theater, etc.., out of schools I have seen cases where This has been.Another important thing that I've seen both in my school and college that depends a lot of teachers, I appreciate the teachers who have opened my mind to develop and see beyond just deliver content as a duty or an obligation to them.

I do not think we can generalize that the college or universities destroy the creativity and potential of each student, we can do is to generate proposals and ideas to help students
