Topic: What about english challenges...? Hi and welcome!... today we are going to be posting about certain difficulties we face when learning english at university :). I think that english has always been present in our environment, either as a spanishization or the chileanization of some words, such as cachai, which from what I understand is a more chileanized way of saying catch, an English word that has a meaning similar to cachai.  For the same reason I find it funny and incredible that verios languages can be mixed in one, another example would be the word pillow that comes from the arabic word mijadda , or the word cahuín that, coming from the mapuzungun, means meeting or grouping. It is amazing the way in which the language is changing, mixing and adapting to the various forms of communication between people in the same locality, region, commune, country, area, etc. Now, when it comes to learning this language, English, at university, I can say that it has been quite pleasa...

Topic: Changes to my study programme... Hello and welcome :)... as you can see, we have to reflect on our academic future and, also, if we would change something about it. This year I started studying Social Work and one of my subjects is about research, in fact, right now we are in the middle of a research project. I particularly find this subject too difficult, especially because, as we are just freshmen, it is a resource that in my opinion we should see later, close to the thesis and the end of the degree. Even so, I consider that it is a very important tool for the profession I am studying, only that I would have liked to see it for the "first time" and having more experience in this area, or at least with more time and, therefore, with a broader induction :). I consider that the curriculum in general is very good, and it provides me with good training for what I would like to work on in the future, which is what the previous blogs were about jeje. Something main would al...

Future 2

Topic: Thinking obout our academic future... Hello, I hope you are very well. Today we have to talk about our studies in the future: would we like to study something? If so, what would it be? I would definitely like to study something else after graduating; I also travel to other parts of the world to know how they perform what I am studying now and what I would like to study, in addition to learning new things :). It would be incredible to be able to study pedagogy, specifically in History, I think the fact of teaching is very beautiful and the vocation for it even more so. Furthermore, I really like history as a subject, in this way we generate awareness about memory and identity in many aspects that are important both for ourselves and for our environment. I would also like to study psychology to try to help people from another perspective. About traveling, it is very important for me to be able to observe, know and learn about how diverse we become among ourselves, so I find other ...

Topic: Reflect about your future job... Hi and welcome :)... Today, as you can see, we have to think and talk about our futures jobs... Since I was little I always felt close to teaching, I always liked to learn and pass on what I knew (I keep doing that); so when I used to imagine myself in a job, I always had this vision of myself as a teacher, I always had pedagogy in mind as the path I wanted to follow in my life. Of course, I grew up, and I did realize other passions, so last year I had to make up my mind and take a step towards my future, so I decided to start studying Social Work. It's never too late to do something so I'm still looking forward to studying pedagogy (in History to be precise) and teaching in the near future :). Clearly, salary is something important, it is what we can sustain ourselves with on a day-to-day basis, even so it is not something that I worried about when choosing my career or when thinking about my dream job. They always made it clear to me th...

Pandemic

Topic: Positive, negative and fun expreriences during pandemic... Hi :)... Today we have to talk about positive, negative and fun things we have expirienced during pandemic I was lucky to be with my family during quarantine, but the difficult  thing was that my sister started a small business at the beginning of the year, so she went out constantly.  Likewise, this has been something really important for us because we all participate in it; personally, I discovered a new hobby making logos, cards, stickers and things like that :). About the online classes over the past year and also this year I want to thank all the teachers who have been patient with me, because it really costs me a lot to concentrate and focus on the subject. Something really funny that happened to my brother and I it was that we became a bit cinephiles, so it has become very common to find ourselves talking about movies and series as if we were movie raters from rotten tomatoes :). Also, last year I really ...

Movies

Topic: Favorite film... Hi :), today we will be talking about our favorites movieees. Well, for me it is quite difficult to find a single situation or thing that I like or attract my attention because I am too dispersed and I always tend to attract a little of each new thing that I know, to a greater or lesser extent. So the same thing happens to me with movies, I don't have a favorite style or a single movie that I like, although there are certain themes that call my attention more when choosing a movie. The styles that most attract my attention in terms of cinema are fantasy, suspense and action, literally in that order hehe. With regard to fantasy, movies like Harry Potter (2001-2011) or Maze Runner (2014-2018) are always the old reliable when I feel like something comfortable and entertaining, because even though I have seen them like a million times I never get bored of the plot, of the characters or dialogues, are films that in my opinion have a super good quality in terms of...

Best Ever :)

Topic: The best holidays ever OR the best concert ever... Hi :)... As you can see, we are going to talk about the best holidays or concerts ever! In my case, I have only been to one concert in my entire life, so I am going to talk about that moment, besides, thinking about THE best holidays of my life is a bit complicated hehe... Now... the concert. Well, this was almost two years ago. My friends and I quite like Shawn Mendes, so we were waiting for him to come to Chile when he announced his Latin American tour. Well, that was fulfilled so my friends bought tickets to go. I did not because since I did not have the money, I did not feel any interest in going to the concert. Do not get me wrong, it was super cool that he was coming to Chile, but it was not essential that I see him. Well, Shawn Mendes is a Canadian songwriter and singer. He is known thanks to the former Vine App, where he uploaded videos singing and showing his talent with his voice and other instruments such as guitar an...
