English Language Challenges

Imagen
Hello everyone, today I will talk about my experience learning English at university. In my opinion, the face to face English classes at university are great, but the online classes weren´t that good. This year, I understand more than the last year, because the classes are very didactics, the subject of the listening and reading are contemporary (a example are the interview to famous artist).   The blogs were very useful for learn new vocabulary and have a better composition. I also like the blogs, because they allow me to know more about my classmates (their opinion about the topics of each week). I think that I have many things that need to be improved in my English, such as my pronunciation or my limited vocabulary. I also need to have a better ear to understand other people when they speak in English, but I think that I just need to work harder and continue to practice. Recently, knowing a little English has helped me to read some news of my interest written i...

CHANGES TO MY STUDY PROGRAM

Imagen
  Hello everyone, today in this blog I will talk about changes to my study program. I am studying social work, this career lasts 10 semesters (5 years) and in each one of the semesters I have between 5 and 6 subjects. I am in my second year and so far I have had subjects that require different times of study. Although the professors use different methods to teach, I believe that they should implement more audiovisual methods (videos, documentaries, films, etc.), since in my opinion this method causes more interest in the students. In the same way, although the " nucleus" seem to me subjects very striking and innovative, I think that inside of the 10 semesters of the career it is necessary to have some "practice". I also think that apart of the libraries, the faculty should provide study rooms, where the students can organize work, read or carry out different activities related with the career. Finally, although in some subjects such as statistics they teach us to ...

POST-GRADUATE STUDIES

Imagen
hello everyone, in this occasion I will talk about post-graduate studies. The truth is that, I have not considered studying in a Master´s Program. Nevertheless, I am still studying social work a undergrad career, and my opinion can change. In this case, I would study a certification, because these do not last a long time and they have a time very flexible, in this way, I would can working and studying. I wold like that the certification has relation with intervention in the community or changes and innovations organizational communication. I like to study subjects that are related with society, either for understand, intervene or transform society, because as I said in a previous blog, for me, is essential to have direct contact with people. In the case of studying after finishing my career as a social worker, I would like it to be in Chile, because in my country exist some certifications that attract my attention, therefore it would not be necessary to go to other country. I would al...

My dream job

Imagen
hello everyone, today I will talk about my dream job. In this moment I am studying to be a social worker, so in the future, my dream job would be in the municipality, or in other areas. For me, is essential that my future job is in direct contact with people, either with children in residential, with old people in a home or with vulnerable population from the municipality. I think as a future social worder, I must have the ability to be empathetic, tolerant, organized, optimistic and especially be committed to help. I also believe that it is important to "put yourself in the place of the other person", and in this way to know how to intervene in their lives. The salary of a social worker in chile is a little low (I think this career is little valued in this country), however, I am studying social work because I like to help and socialize, and not for the money. I would like my first job to be in Puente Alto (the commune where I live), because I think it is a commune that need...

The best concert ever

Imagen
Hello everyone, in this opportunity I will talk about the best concert ever. It was two months ago, in the cultural center of Puente Alto, I went to the concert of the authentic decadents. This is a argentinean band, composed of twelve members, they sing multiple genres mix (pop, cumbia, ballad, rock, etc.) and among their most successful songs are "el murguero" and "la guitarra". The atmosphere during the event was very exciting, everyone was very motivated, sang and danced the songs. I was very happy to listen to the songs live and enjoyed the concert because los auténticos decadentes are one of my favorite bands (in my opinion their songs are unique). These artists attended the Puente Alto Festival (this was the first festival done in Puente Alto) and were one of the best presentations. This was the first concert I went to with my Friends (although not all my friends knew this band), so it is a very special memory for me. Thanks for reading my blog this week :...

A country I would like to visit

Imagen
  Hello everyone, welcome to my blog, today I will talk about the country I would like to visit. This country is the United States, because I want to know the theme parks located in Orlando Florida. The truth is that I know the basics about this country, but if I visit it, I would like to take the opportunity to go to museums and learn more about the history of this country. I am a fan of the Harry Potter saga, so the first thing I would do in the United States is to go to the Harry Potter theme park to buy many products of this saga and drink "butterbeer". I am comfortable in my home country, so I would not live in another country for the moment (neither work nor study), I would like to go only on vacation. I hope to visit the United States soon, although I'm afraid to travel in a plane :(. Thanks for reading my blog :)
