ENGLISH LANGUAGE CHALLENGES

Hello friends, I hope you're well. Today I'll make my last publication this year.That's why I'll tell you about my experience in the English course taught by the university. About the classes, I've attended almost all of them, since it has been always a challenge for me to learn English. I felt very comfortable with the teacher who did the course, she has a great disposition and patience for those who don't handle the language completely. About the contents, although many classes I felt a little bit lost, today I can say that somehow the course allowed me to learn new things and also reinforce previous knowledge. About the activity of the weekly blogs, I often found it exhausting to have to write, although it depends a lot on the subject. However, this activity has helped me mainly to learn grammar topic.

About my own practice of English, it still means a challenge for me to be able to speak in this language, since I don't have a good pronunciation, and besides that, I often forget the grammar of the language when I have to speak it. About writing, I think I handle it more, although not entirely.

To improve my English management, I've nothing to do but practice constantly, which I hope to do on holidays, since I will have more time.

As I said before, I don't spend much time learning English, I participate in the classes and their activities, I use the Duolingo application and I try to watch movies and series in English.

Well, that's all friends.I wish everybody merry christmas and happy new year.

CHANGES TO MY STUDY PROGRAMME

Hi buddies, today I’m going to talk about my study programme. I’m currently studying Psychology, I’m at my fourth year. So far, I think the curriculum is a Little bit boring, and sometimes you feel like all the things that you’re learning has nothing to do in common. This used to make me feel anxious and a little bit confused about my future in this area.

About the workload, I think it’s pretty easy to have A’s if you read the papers and go to the classes, so I’m not particulary upset about it. As for the length, well, five years sounds like a little too much, but for me those years have gone too quickly.

I think that one of the things that I would definitly change is: make more space for more classrooms, and more time for doing our professional practice, because I think that waiting for four years filling us with theory and then throw us to the laboral world it’s too much pressure.

Also, one thing that confuses me it’s the fact that no all teachers know how to use u-cursos, so when we have to upload a homework qe don’t know for sure if the teacher it’s gonna recieve it or no.

Finally, the teaching methods I think that are too old, sometimes we found ourselves reading powerpoints uploaded by the teacher that are from a decade ago, so the material is a lot of things but new. This makes me upset sometimes, because if this is our case, I just can’t imagine the situation in other universities.

Summer Plans

Hello friends!

Today I´m gonna talk about my summer plans. At the beginning og the year with some friends planned to go to Colombia, we all had a lot of expectations but our plans failed.

We ran out of time and we couldn't get enough money to afford the trip. Besides, the lat three year I've been travelling in vacations and think that for now I'd like to spend more time at home, resting and saving energy and money. 

That's why finally we decided to travel at pur own. As for me and my boyfriend, we think we would travel but we don't know when or for so long yet.  So far we think we'd like to travel to the south of Chile.

Two years ageo we went to  Carretera Austral, we met a lot of places, yet there were some we missed out like Futaleufú, Cerro Castillo, Queulat Park and Villa O'higgins the end of the Carretera Austral.

Tha't why this year we pretend to go th those places. We hand't tought yet on buying the bus tickets, but we'd like star at Puerto Montt and then try to hitch a ride as far as possible. If we can't, we would try to take local's buses. In this traveñ ekking mostly at any place.

As I said before, I don't wanna spent all my summer travelling, I wanna be in my home too, have the time for reading, see movies, or go to walk. So I would travel maximun 4 weeks. 

That's all friends, I hope yo enjoyed this post. 

Bye bye
