Hi! My name is Irene, and I'm from Mexico. I've been living in the States for the last three years. I earned a Master's degree in the Education field in my country where I used to work as a high school teacher. I immersed myself in the States with the goal of becoming bilingual. Learning English is one of my passions, and I'm looking for a native English speaker willing to become fluent in English asap. I consider myself as autodidact and I'll be glad in helping you with Spanish.

    Accessing to high education in my country Having access to high education in Mexico can be affordable. Universities offer scholarships for excellent students. In fact some of those excellent students are financially supported not only for earning a B.A. but also for studying a Master’s degree. We could say that public universities propel brilliant students. Based on statistics some decades ago there were a low percentage of young people who attended to Universities in comparison with recent years. But since government developed public universities they had a boom. And on the other hand many private universities took advantage of it to spread their own business. So, nowadays we can choose between some well known and prestigious public or private universities. Public universities are the one that can be affordable and even free for excellent students, while private universities in its large variety can be really expensive. However how affordable or expensive can be education in Mexico is not anymore relevant for Mexican people. The current reality in Mexico is that there is a big phenomena of educated people jobless. Because of the majority of its opportunities are not well paid since the economic recession of 2006, and it has been causing since then to now the migration of a lot of people to other countries looking for better job opportunities.

    Mi nuevo trabajo

    Hola a todos!

    Esta es mi primera entrada de cuaderno en Italki, y quiero contarles sobre mi nuevo trabajo, que estoy a punto de empezar. Les agradezco para los (las) correcciones y pensamientos!

    Voy a trabajar para una organización benéfica medioambiental, llamado (ada) La Campaña Para Proteger Inglaterra Rural (Campaign to Protect Rural England) Proteger el medio ambiente es una (un) tema que es muy importante para mi. Nos han dado una (un) planeta que en tantas maneras es maravillosa (oso), asombrosa  (oso) y hermosa (oso) y me pone triste cada vez que oigo otra manera por la que estamos destrozándola (olo). Siempre he tenido un deseo pasar mis días seguro (de) que mi trabajo está ayudando en al menos una pequeña manera.

    *Errores de genero, ^la campaña, llamada. ^El planeta" maravilloso, asombroso, hermoso, destrozándolo. 

    La Campaña Para Proteger Inglaterra Rural es (esta) interesado (a) en proteger la tierra verde que rodea nuestras ciudades en regiones llamados 'cinturones verdes'. Estas regiones es (se) estableció (pl) (establecieron)  hace muchos años para impedir que siempre siga(n) expandiendo(se) las ciudades, y aunque estas áreas disfrutan de mas altas protecciones que otras, todavía están bajo amenaza de desarrollado (desarrollo), en concreto para alojamiento. ?   * No me queda clara esta idea. 

    Mucha gente piensa que la tierra que se cae en los cinturones verdes debería ser liberado para desarollamiento (desarrollo), para que alivia (aliviar) el (la) crisis de viviendas. Pero yo pienso que esto sería equivocado, no aliviaría el (la) crisis y resultaría que el campo será (se) perdido (perdería) para las generaciones que viene (n). Si no hubiera habido el cinturón verde, veríamos mucho menos campo (del) que vimos (vemos) ahora.

    * Congruencia de tiempos Seria, aliviaría, perdería. 

    La organización hacer campañas en otras (otros) temas, incluyendo promocionar comida local, hacer campañas para proteger fauna y flora, reforma agricultural, y presentar soluciones alojamientales.

    Mi trabajo se tratará de comunicaciones. Estaré responsable para redes sociales, atender a requerimientos de la prensa y escribir blogs para nuestra página web. Estoy tan emocionado por empezar y dar mi tiempo para proteger lo que queda de nuestra campo.

    Les agradezco para los correcciones y pensamientos!

    Values we have lost Mexican culture has been considered one of the most traditional and conservative cultures for its values, traditions and customs, which are very valuable and unique. However due to different internal and external factors we would say that our society has lost some of their values. The most remarkable values that have been deteriorating through the last few years are respect for parents, respect for teachers, and elders. Do you think that respecting your parents is important? Family is considered the base of our society and parents are the pillar of each family. This is why showing respect to our parents is very important for us. Thus this because that we teach our kids to be respectful as well. And although we’ve tried to preserve our values maybe lately we have failed. Because of the influence of the media, technology and many other external factors. On the other hand during the last decades a phenomena has occurred on the National Educational System of Mexico which has impacted directly on the teacher's authority. Nowadays teachers can not deny to any student the right to attend to class, even if they had committed some fault. It leads students to take advantage of it and consequently they do not behave. Values are part of our identity as individual and wherever we go it defines us.

    Julia Julia was invited to our class from my English teacher. So, She came to my class to be interviewed for us. Julia is from Beijing and She is currently having two weeks vacation in the States. She spent the first week in New York and New Jersey with some friends, and during these days She is visiting her Teacher Maggie and Maggie’s husband to Chico Ca. The first time she came to the States was in 2013 and visited Los Angeles Ca. after graduating, and this is the first time she is visiting Chico Ca. Maggie and her husband used to be Julia’s English teachers in Beijing, moreover they used to attend a same Christian fellowship, and spent time together. Julia started learning English since middle school, in fact, English was her major when she was in college. She also work as a senior research manager in Beijing for a consultant company. Julia is the only child in her family, and she said that this is very common in China specially for people who were born after 80’s and 90’s. Some of the things that She really likes from her country are food, her friends, and their values. The majority of her friends are Christian and they share same values, this is one of the things that she really care about. In her opinion China is a very dynamic Country with many opportunities for young people.
