What is the best major in El Salvador???

Well as we know here in El Salvador the economy it’s not okay so we have to look for a good major but also it have to be interesting for you!

Here in El Salvador we have like 196 majors more than that. And they are good ones but I’m going to answer which is the best one!

So for me the best major is been a Teacher of English because well it’s the best for me that’s why I chose it.  

What can we do with an English Major?

As an English major, you have a wide and exciting selection of careers. English majors are trained to write well, to organize ideas in a logical way, and to develop arguments. You can analyze complex information, research, and critically read and observe. With these skills, you can work for book publishers, hospitals, television networks, advertising firms, and the government. Employers, graduate schools, and professional schools often seek out well-rounded English majors because they are versatile, able to utilize their training as writers, thinkers, editors, and teachers in fields such as medicine, law, business, media, and public service.

Some English students begin college thinking that the only career they can get is a teaching position, but there are other options out there.  Nevertheless, jobs in education are great way for majors to seek employment and there is a broad range of opportunities.

Teaching at the primary and secondary levels requires certification.  

Teaching English as a Second Language is an exciting opportunity that can be done both domestically and abroad.  Though the mastery of a second language certainly helps, it is not necessarily a requirement.  For those looking for a fulltime career, the best preparation for the job is to get a master’s degree in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages.  With such a degree and proper certification, applicants can teach at ESL students at universities, primary and secondary schools, and international schools.  There are graduate, undergraduate, and professional certification programs for those who hope to teach English abroad.

 

So as I said before I love English and for me it’s the best major!

WHICH IS THE COUNTRY THAT IS BEST PREPARED TO ATTEND EMERGENCIES CAUSED BY NATURAL DISASTER?

Well I was investigating about this and it’s so interesting, but we should know what a natural disaster is?

A natural disaster is is a major adverse event resulting from natural processes of the Earth; examples include floods, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis, and other geologic processes. A natural disaster can cause loss of life or property damage, and typically leaves some economic damage in its wake, the severity of which depends on the affected population's resilience, or ability to recover.

So as we can see El Salvador is not the most prepared country to attend emergencies caused by natural disaster and it’s hard to think because as a person we need to be protected of these kinds of things.

Chile is the Latin American country most prepared to tackle climate change.

MANILA, Philippines - The Philippines is one of the most prepared countries for the onslaught of natural disasters, a report released by the World Bank (WB) said.

But the country’s preparedness will be tested every year, as the Asia-Pacific region is the most affected by cyclones, tsunamis, earthquakes and floods, the report said.

According to the World Bank report, the Philippines got a 3.25 percent average risk identification indicator, joining the more prepared countries such as Thailand (3.5 percent), Indonesia (3.75 percent), Japan (four percent), and Malaysia with the highest at 4.25 percent.

Climate change was one of the stars of 2013, as more and more concerns about the serious consequences that could eventually lead to this phenomenon. It was this concern that led to the University of Notre Dame to measure how different countries are prepared to deal with possible droughts, storms or natural disasters that climate change could cause.

Unfortunately the reports do not say exactly which is the country that is best prepared for a Natural disaster but there are many countries that are prepared as China, United State of America and some other from Europe because they  are financially prepared so they can spend a lot of money in those cases.

But imagine in some others  maybe they are poor and probably they couldn’t  handle with those thing so its hard because we cannot do anything to change this just helping who needs our help and trying to do our best to fix it.

What a family should do if they face a natural disaster and they lose everything?

Well I think that those kinds of things are very hard to understand but we have to know what to do in those cases, you can’t stay like if you couldn’t do anything, you have to act, to move and give thanks to God for keep you alive.

Probably at that moment you can feel fear or think that you are going to die or something like that but it’s important to realize how big the problem is. If you lose everything you have to start to think how to fix it, and stop to been the victim.

Some things that can appear are:

Fear and anxietyIt's common to worry that the disaster - whether a flood, bushfire, earthquake or cyclone - could happen again, or that you are not safe.

Shock
Shock makes you slow down. It can help keep you safe in the first few days after a disaster, and feeling of shock may come and go over a few weeks.

Denial
When bad things have happened, some people prefer not to think about them at all. This might be a help to start with, but our feelings can catch us by surprise later on. It's okay to distract yourself, but also find some time to think about what has happened and how you are going.

Guilt
You might feel guilty after a natural disaster. It might be about something that you did or didn't do at the time, or you might just feel bad about yourself.

You have to start a new life with the ones you love and think that God knows why the things happens and it deepens on you if you leave those things in the past and live the present.

As I said natural disasters can be hard to understand as we often think of nature as something beautiful and part of our every day. Natural disasters are inevitable but uncommon and many people who have been through one can have a range of emotions but with help I know that is possible to keep going.

Hello guys,  I hope you spent a nice vacation as you can see our vacations are already finish so I’m going to tell you what did I do on mine.

Well on Saturday I spent my whole day at home fixing and cleaning the house with my parents because my cousin came on Sunday so we have to be prepared.

On Sunday I went to church to the Eucharist with my family and then we went to eat something. It was a really nice day because we are Catholic so that day we celebrated Palm Sunday, we participated in a procession and it was so beautiful to spend time with my family and friends and of course we have to be grateful with God for give us everything. So we spent a lot of time on church.

On weekdays we went to the beach for two days but the weather was so hot and I didn’t like it but you know I thought that it going to be fun but NO. of course I like the view of the sea it’s so magic. At night we went to a restaurant to eat together and I enjoyed to eat with them. Wednesday we came back to home so I was really happy to be at home again and that day I slept all day.

Thursday I went to church and participated in the Procession of Silence it is another procession for us in Holy Week that was at night but in the morning I went to Ataco with my friends I love that place so cute and cold.

Friday I woke up so excited because that day is Holy Friday so all the Catholic around the world make Easter carpets. In my family is a tradition every year we make an Easter carpet and this time it was my turn to choose the design for the Easter Carpet. This day was my favorite day of my vacation.

On Saturday my family and I went to church in the morning and then we went to my grandma’s house, all my family was there my cousins, my uncles, my aunts, my nephews and grandmas. It was a reunion of all the family at night I went to church with my brother because we had a musical concert with our church group.

And the last day on Sunday we as Catholics celebrate Easter means that Jesus the son of God has resurrected so we have to go to church that day too because is the most important day for us. 

So as you can see I enjoyed my vacation a lot. :) 

Hello J . Well for me Intermediate English II has been a great help because I learned a lot of things that I didn’t know.

At the begin we stared to talked about the “Tag Questions” is when you get extra information about something you want to know,  and as you know we are asking for more information. We study them with imperatives too.

I learned how to use “Shall” we use it to indicate future actions. We can use it as a suggestion, as a promise, as predestination and as a inevitability. This topic was very interesting because I didn’t know about “Shall” and how to use it.

Then we studied something about “Simple past & Past Perfect” actually it was a kind of review because we saw this topics on Intermediate English I but it was good to remember.  Simple Past is use to express the idea that an action started and finished at a specific time in the past. Past Perfect expresses the idea that something occurred before another action in the past. It can also show that something happened before a specific time in the past.

After that we saw another topic “Modals” Must (when you have to do something important like an obligation) Be able to (is when you can do something), May (is for permission in a formally way) and Might (something that probably is going to happen)

Lately we have been learning about causatives: Make "to force someone to do something." Get "to convince to do something" or "to trick someone into doing something." Have “to give someone the responsibility to do something." Let “to allow someone to do something."

This are some topics we have seen and also we have made some tests for our pronunciation, our grammar and fluency so I think we have learned a lot in all this time. This is my blog hope you enjoy it.
