English language challenges

Hi! First I would like to thank the teacher for her patience and for all the knowledge and experiences she shared with us. Well, I really liked this subject because it was not boring like others english class that I have been before. I remember that the English class in my school was quite boring and I did not learn anything. I could define just one bad thing. This subject occupied a lot of time of my afternoons. So I was frustrated at some point because some days I had to finish work or study and I could not do it because i I had to attend the English class. Sometimes I forgot that it was time to go to English class, because I was doing works or studying for the subjects of my university career. But leaving that aside, it was a very rewarding experience for me. Personally the use of the blogs was a different and more entertaining activity, in adittion it was a very useful task to practice English. The sad thing is that outside of the class I use very...

Changes to my study programme

This year the curriculum of my career has changed. Before the changes that the academics made, the curriculum had three different History subjects, about contemporary history, about Chile and about Latin America, one per semester. Now we have just two subjects. The Latin American History was retired. Personally I love History and to learn about the details of the history that are not told by the official history, so in the future a change that could be made in the study programme is add this subject again, because I think it is really important to dedicate long time to this. Another change I would like to do in my career is the teaching methods. Nowadays some teachers are really heavy with us. I understand the concern about the academic requirement but I completely disagree with the violent practices that we have to endure. Obviously this violence is not physical, it is verbal. But is so much worrying because it prevent us from learning quietly and also happy. And it is because ...

Winter vacations

Hi everyone One place that I would like to visit on this winter vacation is Talca. One of my friend’s house is located In Talca, so me and all my friends can visit him. There is a field with a dam and a bridge, and it is very interesting place to go over for, because it has so many beautiful natural places. Another place that I would like to go in winter is any beach. Even though the cold I am in love with visiting the beach in winter because it is a very calm atmosphere. I am in love with the sea and the peculiar breeze of the beach. I would like to visit a beach near Santiago because probably I am going backpacking and arrive there is more simple if the place is closer. I do that in summer with a friend, and it was a very short trip on a truck. Any plan that I do for the future is with my friends, so in winter I am going to be with my friends.   I will definitely not study in winter vacations. At this moment I feel very tired with university evaluations, so in vacation...

My favorite TV show

Imagen
Hi everyone! I have never watched a  complete  TV  show, but since I was little that I watched‘’House’’ on TV, so I will talk about it. This show is about a doctor’s life who is a really irritated person, and sometimes, really strange. Basically the episodes are about his relation with his patients and his workmates. I don’t remember any episode in this moment.  But I really like to see this TV show because it is closer to reality than other series and interesting, because it happens a lot of stories about various illnesses that are presented in our society. Also it is very enjoyable because the protagonist, named Gregory House, is very ironic with the other characters. I remember when I was little and all my family watched together this TV show every afternoon after school, so I ended up watching it too. I also like ‘’Hunter x hunter’’ TV show, because when I was like 8 I was a big fan of this, it entertains me a lot. Last year I watched this TV s...

Postgraduate studies

I really don’t know about postgraduate studies so much but I think I would like to do a diploma course in infancy or in indigenisim. I am interested in infancy because I have always thought that the childhood is a period very important for our life but at the same time it is a theme very neglected by the state. At this moment many kids in our country are being abandoned by their neglecting parents or the critical treatment that the schools or public hospitals give to them. So I want to learn how to contribute in a concrete way. Also I am interested in indigenisim because I feel the need to learn about native people history and the just fair fight that they are doing for justice, territory and autonomy. I think that I would like to study this in another country because Chile’s education is very neo liberal, but I don’t know what country yet. In short, all this previous plan is just a dream, because these types of studies are very expensive and I don’t have money not even for pa...

Future Job

I think this question it is very difficult to answer for a social work student, and sincerely, it is difficult for any social sciences student, but i will try it... In this moment of my life I would like to have a job in a rural school, because I really want to contribute in an educational project and use all that I learn in university. I prefer a rural school because I get really stressed in the city, also I think rural students would need my contribution more than urban students, because until today the countrysides are very backwards compared to cities. I would like to work outdoors, because I think it is really important to do a close work with people, so I want to meet the students, their families and the neighbors of the school, in short, I want to be in contact with all the people of the locality for do a useful work for them.   I love travel but I think that I can not travel so much when I work in the future, because I have to stay a minimum time in a plac...

Election days

I will not vote in the next elections because I think voting is a very inefficient way to act and affect in the political organization of our country.  For me it is not a pain in the neck at all, but I see it like an illusion that makes people believe that they are civil responsible, when in fact they are just qualifying a political model that will never represent people, instead of taking care of their lives and their needs.   I hate the electoral campaigns because it attacks the civic mentality with fake promises that hide the real political and economic interest of the political class. People who want to run a public position have to know the hard reality of the neighborhood, public hospitals, public transport and public schools, among others.  I think it is impossible that a person who lives very comfortable and not able to understand the injustices and problems that normal people confront every day. I am being part of territorial and political organization...
