English Language Challenges

Hi everyone!

I hope all of you are fine!

Before to start, I want to say thank you for reading all my posts. This is the last blog, and its topic is my experience learning English at the university and the use of blogs.

In general, my experience at English courses has been good, I have done only two (English III and IV), but I have learned a lot. However, the pandemic has been a huge problem to the English courses because the online context has generated a lack of motivation and also has prevented a high level of participation.   

About the blogs, I consider it a good tool to practice writing and reading, also I think they are a great possibility to know our classmates, especially in the online context. Nevertheless, sometimes they are exhausting because they are a lot, and writing a blog, at least in my case, takes so much time.

On the other hand, I think that I need to improve my English, to be specific, I need to learn more vocabulary and practice grammar because, due to the blogs, I have realized that I repeat a lot of words and I ask myself a million times to check the structure of a sentence. In that way, I think this situation is because these days English has been out of my daily routine (despite English activities and some texts to other courses), due to I don't have enough time to practice every day. To combat this problem, during vacation I plan to play Duolingo again and watch some series in English with subtitles also in English, to search only the words and phrases that I don't understand. 

Well, this has been everything. 

Bye💚

A country I would like to visit

Hi everyone, welcome to my first blog! Today I'm going to talk about a country that I would like to visit. To start I want to say that travelling around the world is my biggest dream, so I would like to go to a lot of countries and choose only one is really difficult for me. However, this time I'll mention Denmark because is in my medium-term plans. Specifically, because I want to do a Working Holiday Visa and this country looks like a safe place to work and live. Also, in spite of their official language is Danish, I have heard that most people speak English too, so it would be easier for me to communicate and express my needs. With the Working Holiday Visa, I could live there for a year and also work for six of these months, so I would like to work this time to save money and then travel through the country (I want to know Copenhagen, Aarhus, Aalborg, and a lot of cities hahaha) and maybe visit other countries of Europe. Nyhavn street, one of most touristic zones of Copenhagu...

The best vacation ever

Hi everyone, welcome to my second blog! Today I'm going to talk about my best vacation, which was in January of 2019, when my mom, brother, sister, and I went from Melipilla to Punta Arenas by car, through Carretera Austral for two weeks. It was an amazing experience because we visited a lot of beautiful cities and towns of Chile and Argentina (in some parts the road simply "disappears" or finish in a town on the border of the sea, so to continue you have to ride on a ferry or go to Argentina to take another road) like Hornopirén, Chile Chico, Puerto Río Tranquilo, Río Gallegos, Comodoro Rivadavia, and others.  We made a lot of activities: we went to hot springs near Chaitén, did a long walk to the Ventisquero Colgante Queulat (Queulat hanging glacier), explored the Torres del Paine National Park, and also rode on a little boat to the Capillas de Mármol (Marble Chapels) in the General Carrera Lake.  Despite not everything was perfect (for example, one day we had to stop b...

My future job

Hi everyone! I hope you are pretty well.  This time, the blog is going to be about my employment projections. As you probably know due to previous blogs, I study Political Science. In this way, before starting the major, I always thought that I would work as a diplomat, but  — although I haven't closed the door to this possibility —  I see it further every day because I have not searched enough information and other areas call my attention. In that sense, I imagine myself working in the State or maybe in a foundation or international organization because I prefer social service and the practical side of my career to the academia and research side. I understand that I probably will work at an office but   — as I have mentioned in almost all my blogs hahaha —  I really want to travel and discover a lot of places, cultures and new experiences, so if I have the opportunity, I would like to find the way to mix both indoor and outdoor work. However, I know that it wil...
