Final Blog

Before I started this in the university, I never make blogs for an English subject, i used to answer exams, make oral presentations and dialogues. I think that the use of blog it’s a very good way to learn English, because its feel more familiar and comfortable, It’s like when someone talks about his own life, it doesn’t feel like a common work to do to practice English, and the topics used to be very interesting and funny, so I like a lot the fact to made blogs to study English. I think that I still to need practice in conversations, just like dialogues, because when i have the opportunity to talk with an English speaker I feel very nervous. So I would like to practice with dialogues between my partners, to have a better English speak fluency. I always use a lot of English in my life. I play a lot of videogames in English, because I don’t like the Spanish dubbing, the same thing happens to me in movies or TV series; I prefer to hear the original audio. And talking about music, I think that the English music is better than the Spanish music, my favorite groups have their songs in English, like Maroon 5, Twenty One Pilots, and Metallica. And finally, I usually visit a lot of blogs in English, of any topic, like news, music, videogames, movies, sports. A lot of the original sources are in English, that’s the reason I read a lot of things in English. And that’s all, I am very glad to have the chance to practice English using blogs, it’s a very original form that I never used before, it was a nice experience, see you. :D

Changes to my study program

First, I think that my university it’s amazing, so, I have to think a lot about this topic. I see the curriculum and I don’t find anything wrong, but I hear that the next year it may be changed, I don’t like the changes that may be done the next year, because Latin American history be transform into an universal history, centered in Europe. I say that five years it’s a good length of studies, but it would be nice that it would be four, like other universities. About faculty facilities, I think that the classroom of Facso (Faculty of social sciences) would be improved, because the lecture rooms are a lot better than Facso classrooms, they are bigger and comfortable in contrast. I also may build bigger dining rooms, because they are always full at launch time. And finally, I would like to have a new computer room, with more capacity to receive people, and more sophisticated, to not look like any other classroom. But I can’t say too much about infrastructure right now, because a lot of my university campus it’s in construction. About technology, I don’t have a lot of concern now, but I hear that the university has good laboratories, at least to work in my faculty. Finally I would make that the teachers use a method different as the usual, many times the students get boring in their classes, because there always the same, to explain and read slides, sometimes, using methods more dynamics and more entertaining, would make the class more interesting than usual, the use of more videos or music, watch movies or activities like games between students, they may make that they be more active and pay more attention in the classroom.

Winter holidays :o

Hi everyone, this time, I would talk about my winter holidays. My previous experiences of my winter holidays, when I live in Arica, there were very bad, the summer vacations too. Until I have 17, I don’t do anything special, just be in my home all day, watch TV, play videogames, spend all of my time in my computer, there were very annoying days to me. I also hate when I see in TV animated series that the winter was accompanied with snow, because in the north of my country there was a desert weather every year, the snow don’t exists. Just when I was on high school, I started to go to my friends’ houses or go out, that was a little fun but I still thinking that I would have better days in winter. When I was growing up, the winter holidays just become like any other day of the week, because the school was losing importance to me year to year. So, all my previous experiences about winter were really bad, but today, that I am a wonderful city like Santiago, I hope that I can go to a lot of interesting places, to go with my friends to concerts, to travel, to the cinema. I would like to go to the south of my country in the future, the good thing is that I am very close to that, before I was in Santiago, the travel it may take 2 or 3 days. So I would like to visit cities like Valdivia, Chiloe, Punta Arenas, etc. I love to travel and to be in the center of my country it’s a great opportunity to meet the south. :D
