Transantiago, allegedly came to solve the problem of “yellow buses”. but there was a big problem, since it generates other difficulties for not having enough machines to implement this project.

It was a project that was implemented in the summer holidays, where the majority was out of town, which is why initially not caused so much problems. The terrible thing is generated when all the people returned to their duties and had to use public transport to get to their jobs. The ranks in order to access Transantiago were enormous, people fought to get in the bus.

Transantiago was a stressful life, The bus don`t served to get to the way desired, which is why we had to walk and walk to make combinations and thus reach their destination. That was much better in the old system, because one came up and I knew where I wanted to go, without getting off the bus.

Another thing that was very bad, isn`t that there was control on the routes, the buses take much longer to happen and when they did spend three and then spent a long time to reach the other.

As not all bad, which rescued this system is that it is clean, has room to carry people with disabilities and systematize the work of drivers through a salary.
For all the criticism that has taken this means is that solutions are generated, such as increasing per round machine which reduces the waiting time and one can plan the time of arrival to any destination, which was previously impossible, it was to leave plenty of time to not be late everywhere.

It is impossible to copy a transport system that comes from another country because they are different realities, that is why I think to improve this system, must be placed from the Chilean context.

The country that i would love to visit


The country that i would like to visit is Scotland, because mainly that the sightseens that i see in the different movies i like them so i want to know those places.

Beside i consider this country with a lot of history and i would love see and know the differents castles that i can encounter in the island.

I would work in scotland in a job simple so i can perfect my English oral.

Once i perfect my language i could do some spanish classes or assist to some classes of initial or basic pedagogy so i can learn the system educative of Scotland

From this country i know that it´s located in a island at the north of the united kingdom (north of england), and its surrounded by the North Sea and the Ireland Sea.

I also know that for a while England dominate all the island because they want the dominion of the entire island.

From scotland i would love to see a band playing the pipes besause i love the sound that they make. I also know that the best whiskey is from scotland (and they name scotch at that whiskey), but i don´t drink alcohol so i could bring those as a gift.

What i learn and my chalenges of the last semester

In the last semester i learn a lot useful stufs for my knowledge of the english language and of my carrer, in general about english i learn a lot of vocabulary by writing a blog every week, and by read the blogs of my fellow students i learn a little more about their lives and future projects.

In my career i learn a lot in the subject building of environments III, because it fills a gap theoric that we have about some classes previously seen.

I have to tell that the last semester i was pregnant , so my free times were dedicated to visit the differents doctors specially more often in the last week. Beside that we went with my boyfriend to different places and also we look for a place to live.

Unfortunately i didn´t advantage my free time for rest and sleep since i continue with my university activities and i can´t accumulate some sleep for this though period that i´m living.

My biggest challenge was my oral exam of english because i have a lot of problems with the language and to speak for a class was a big step for me.

And obviously my biggest challenge was conjugate my pregnancy whith my studies because i didn´t dedicate all the time that i want to my pregnancy because i have to be good in the university.

And for the end my biggest family challenge was to leave the house for making a new home with my boyfriend and son.
