Blog 8: English Language Challenges

Imagen
Hello everyone! This time I'm going to talk about my experience learning English at the university. I felt these classes so different, because for many years I had the same English teacher, and I got used to her way of teaching and changing teachers at first it felt strange but then I adapted to this new way of teaching. The use of blogs was something very new for me, because when I was in high school, I wrote shorter things, but this was very useful, and fun because each one had different topics. I think I need to improve my vocabulary and pronunciation, because now with the blogs I noticed that I used the same word repeatedly and with the last video I had problems to pronounce it clearly, and I had to record it many times. I'm trying to improve it by listening to series in English instead of dubbed into Spanish and trying to practice conversations in English or learn the lyrics of the songs I like (since almost all my favorite musical artists sing in English). These days ...

Blog 7: Changes to my study program

Imagen
Hello everyone, today I am going to talk about the changes I could do in my study program. Well, the first thing I'm going to say is: I'm in my second semester, so I don't know much about the subjects and what I'm going to say may change in the future. The first thing I would add to the curriculum are more technology classes, about Excel or do online procedures for example, because every day technology is advancing very fast, and I think that the work system of the public administration must advance as well, and we must be prepared for it. Other subjects I would also add are those related to the environment and gender perspective. Regarding the workload and length of studies, I want to keep the five years and distribute the reading load better, because there are some subjects where you have to read a lot and others where you don't. About the faculty facilities I can't talk much, because I don't know the school but considering what I have heard from oth...

Blog 6: time travel to the future

Imagen
If I could go to the future, I would go to China, United States and Chile, maybe to 2070 because by then 50 years will have passed. I want to travel fifty years so I can see how countries change in relation to climate. The first two countries because they are the most polluting and Chile because I’m curious to see how my own country changes. I really hope that the climate in the future will be better because it’s something we can’t change and because now the "COP 26" is taking place where countries are committing to generate a better future, helping the climate and ourselves. China is known for extreme carbon use just like the United States, and I want to see how they change their cities and factories to be more ecofriendly. The reasons why I want to travel to Chile in 2070 is because right now people are awake and mobilizing for unfair issues, so the system will have to change, and added to this the new constitution will take place in the next few years.   I really hope ...
