Last post! ):

Hello everyone! Well, this is the last post I will do, because the English classes are over at the university ... I mean, I will not have more blogs or videos…

Well, as usual, when ending always talk about the experience I lived writing this blog and attending English classes…

As I always said, at first I didn`t like the idea of ​​writing about myself in a blog, in something public as a blog. But, over time I realized that it really serves to practice writing and to be able to synthesize my ideas in a space and time that are bounded.

I find that writing blogs is a way to learn more didactics than to be only learning vocabulary in a room with a teacher in front. I think it is a good measure and should continue to be implemented.

Now, with regard to English classes ... Well I started in English 2 and I feel that I have learned in increasing scale ajaja. At that level I didn’t learn much, because it is quite basic ... In English 3 I learned more vocabulary and grammar. In English 4 I feel it is more practical than learning memorizing, so I liked it a lot.

I would say that in college, at least here, does not take much English. Despite having good teachers, the motivation of the students is not very good and the way teachers are distributed, through an external platform to each faculty makes learning a little difficult…

Well, it's rather little English that I take daily ... but I listen to music in English, I watch movies with subtitles and sometimes I try to watch them without subtitles. I think that my link with English is daily but I would like to practice more speaking.

Great, that's all. It was a pleasure to make this blog. Bye!

Things that would change the EGGP

Hello everyone! Today I going to talk about a not very entertaining subject but well, I have to do this post. I going to talk about the changes that I would make to the place where I study, which is the EGGP.

Well, what I would change first is the building where I study. It’s very small and uncomfortable, because it has pillars in the middle of the classroom; these are small and very warm in summer.

It also has too many stairs, a single small elevator where they fit 3 people, when the EGGP there are 400 people approx. The playground is very small and you can’t do university life in such a small space as this. We also have little room for study. I would change the library because it’s too small for the number of students who have the EGGP now.

The second thing that would change is the quality of some teachers... Because now the ranking has been eliminated but some teachers aren’t very good…Before the persons who have good ranking took the best teachers, but now as will be practically random, we should worry about this ... because not all teachers measure with the same requirement or not come, etc.

I don’t know what else would change at this time ... Maybe the people who study here... Because with ranking they are very competitive ... I hope that with elimination of the ranking they change a little your way of seeing the life so competitive.

I hope that the change of venue will solve the things I mentioned earlier.

See you next week.

Summer plans

Hello everyone!

Today I going to talk about my summer plans…

Mmm with my boyfriend we are planning to go on holidays to the south, from Concepción to where we reach the money. We believe that we will arrive to Puerto Montt or Puerto Varas. Everyone already has $200.000 we must to have another $350.000.

As we have two weeks before the end of February, from January to that date we had planned to work. In fact, no one of us are very good at working on "summer jobs", that is, those jobs only for January and February, because we both had bad experiences when we worked in 2015. So we thought of selling silk-screened T-shirts, because my boyfriend knows how to make serigraphs and I would sell the shirts. We also planned to sell “cubos” of fruits in parks, like Forestal’s Park. Last year we did it and we win money, but we did not sell it every day, so we did it just for"survive" in the summer jajaja. We have those two options in mind to save money and go to holidays.

My mom also wants to go on vacation but to the north. She is thinking of going on holidays to Iquique, for 4 days. But she does not know if she can, because she has to operate and in the only moment that she can is on holidays, so it is very possible that our trip will change for the winter holidays.

Well, that's all for today! See you next week.

My pets!

Hello everyone! I missed you but I’m back and today I going to talk about my pets!

I have older brothers so I was born with pets. But the first pet I had and I wanted to have was when I was eleven. It was a dog that my father gave me. He was a lovely and small cocker. His name was Conan, because I was a fanatic of Detective Conan. But one day he escaped and I didn’t realized and them we search for him bit we could not find him.

Then, with my family we went to the animal protection society to adopt a new pet. There we found "copito", a small, white and “kiltro” dog.  He was very special to me. We were together from 2009 to 2012. He died poisoned but I'm calm because he had a better life than he could have im the animal protection society. We gave him lots of love and food haha.

In my neighborhood there was a dog that was there always and we adopted them and it is with us until now. His name is “Lucas”. He also brought a friend. I do not know where did he found him but his “friend” stayed out of our house waiting for us to feed him and, well, we adopted him. His name is “Chascon”

Well I also have two cats but that's another story haha. One is called "Federica" ​​and the other "Puntito" They do not get very well between them but well...

Well, that’s all! See you next week. 

Me with con Copito

Very piulent job

Hello everyone! I’m going to talk about a very piulent job!

Well, in the future, I would like to make a homeless animal’s NGO, because I love animals and I think that they should be protected for the humans. I believe that in Chile exist a lot of violence to animals, for example, exist “rodeo”, the circus where animals, such as lions, monkeys and elephants are mistreated.

I want to defend the rights of animals and have a place where having many abandoned animals and give them up for adoption.

Also, I would like to work in the Ministry of Environment. I really like the issues of recycling, renewable energy, etc. I believe that in Chile there isn’t awareness of the climate change and that there are much friendlier with the environment, ways to produce energy or eliminate our waste.

I would like to make public policies to educate children about these issues. Also I wish there were more recycling points and that Chile think more renewable energy and less on hydroelectric power.

Those are the jobs that I would like to work. I want to work outdoors but I know that if I work in the ministry, I will have to work in an office. I like to travel but for holidays haha. I want to work in Chile.

And this is it!

See you next week!

Please don't stop the music!

Hi everyone!

Today I’m going to talk about music! Mmm I’m going talk about my favorite music.

Well, recently I've been listening a lot Sia. I like many of her songs, such as "Move your body", "Cheap Thrills" and "The Greatest". I like Sia long time ago, since her hit was "Clap your hands" in 2010, but was shelved and now I'm start to listen her again.

I also really like electronic music. I like the duo called "Disclosure". Most recently they came to Chile and couldn’t go to see them; because I had no one to go (all my friends are poor hahaha and my boyfriend doesn´t like)

I also like rock music. My favorite band is "Muse". It’s a British rock band. . I like it since when I was young because my older brother also likes.  They came to Chile the last year, on October 15. It was the first time that I saw them and it was amazing. They played their hits like "Time is Running Out", "Hysteria" and "Starlight". It was very exciting to see them live. It was one of the happiest days of my life!

Great, that's all. As you can see I like all kinds of music haha. I hope you are well and see you next week.

Bread and Roses

Hello everyone!

Today I'm going to talk about the movie "Bread and Roses" 

Top 3 scenes.

The scenes that I liked the most were:

1. When Sam goes to Rosa's house to talk about the cleaners's laboral conditions. He tells to Rosa's family that cleaners in 1982 earned 8.50 per hour, plus health insurance and paid vacation. Now they earns 5.75 per hour and they haven´t right to anything else. I liked this scene because Maya's sister Rosa, became aware of the working conditions and that she had to fight to achieve improvements.

2. When the cleaners protested in a celebration where the owner of the building was in where they work is. I liked it because after that the movement gained strength and was public.

3. When Rosa tells to Maya that she was the one who betrayed his comrades and when Rosa was in Tijuana she need to practice prostitution for send money to her family.  It's a very strong scene that makes Maya see that life is harder than she thought.

      

      Well, I think that social films are very good, because it recounts real events in different societies.         One of my favorite movies is The Help, that belong in the same kind of movies. 

I think the situation of immigrants here in Chile is bad. Although they have more job opportunities here than in their home countries, They don't get the same treate than a Chilean, Also chilean people treat them badly because Chile ,in general, is a racist country, which worsen

life's quality of the immigrants.
