English Language Challenges

Hi classmates!  I hope you are doing well. In this last occasion I am going to talk to you about my English language challenges. For starters I am going to tell about my experience of learning to speak English at the University of Chile.  Since I was a child never had a good base of the English language, because in my school the teaching of this subject was very simple. Until my last year of school I only learned some basic words, like colors, numbers, animals, among others. Because of this reason, when I entered to the university I did not knew anything about the English language and I was selected in section one (which is the most basic). It has been three years since I had my first English class at ICEI, and I can say that I have learned some things, however, I still have a lot to explore and learn. I believe that my weakest point is that I do not use the grammar of this language, and I also need a lot of vocabulary to learn. About the blogs, I think th...

Changes to my study programme

Hi classmates!  On this occasion, I am going to tell you about the changes I would like to makes to my study programme in my career of journalism in the Universidad de Chile.  Since I entered at the university in 2015, I have felt that the course of general formation (CFG) are to much, because these courses require a lot of time, which could be used in other subjetcs. Maybe three courses of general formation in the university career would be enough. Other thing that I would like to changes is incorporate the curriculum courses about technological tools that alllows me to have skills in editing videos and audios, because I and my university classmates have had to learn alone how to use Adobe Audition and Premiere.  On the infraestructure I think it is necessary to make several changes.  One of the things that are missing in this campus are green areas, since many places are made of cement and earth... and in very few places there is grass, trees a...

Hello classmates! Today I am going to tell you about a place I would like to visit in the summer vacation. Since I was a child, tropical places have attracted my attention... white sand and turquoise water. .. a true paradise <3 It is for this reason that, I would like to know Acapulco, because it is a city that has all those characteristics and also has a very bohemian life hahaha which I love (because I am a very party person) On this trip I would like to go with my sister Javiera, because she is a very happy person who would accompany me to all the crazy things that I would like to do in Acapulco. However, to make this trip I need to save a lot of money :( for which this travel plan is for a distant future. Another place that since I was a child I long to know is Peru, because I love its people, its culture and its delicious food. This trip for me is much more accessible, since it would not cost as much money as traveling to Mexico. If all goes...

Hello classmates! Today I am going to tell you about my favorite character. The truth is that every so often, my trastes change, so I do not have a favorite character of my whole life. When I was a child I liked cartoons and one of my favorite characters was Blossom  The Powerpuff Girls , since she was a very intelligent and brave girl, who inspired me to be like her. Later in my teenage years I fell in love with the Australian series called   H₂O: Just Add Water,   I liked all the magic plot that exists in the series and I adored a Cleo, a very tender and good mermaid, sometimes people made fun of her for being Well, however, she does not mind the criticism of the people. Now I can say that my favorite character is  Light Yagami <3  the main character of the Japanese series Death Note.  I fell in love the Light Yagami because in his character dwells goodness and evil at the same time, he fight to the end to achieve his goal is to exter...

Postgraduate studies

Imagen
Hi classmates! The truth is that I have never thought about the postgraduate study that I would like to do in the future, since I am a person who does not enjoy studying hahaha. But I like to do practical work, because it is more fun for me. However, if I had to do a study in the future it would be a course on public relations, since that is the area of ​​journalism that catches my attention the most. I believe that if I take a course on this subject I would like to do it in Chile, because I would not like to live in another country, because I would miss my parents, brothers and friends too much. If I get to take a postgraduate course I believe that I would work and study at the same time, because it is assumed that at that time I should already be independent and live alone :( Well, I think this experience wouldhelp me to be a better professional, because I would be able to conduct interviews and manage a medium of communication. I would like to work in a m...

My future job

Hello classmates today I will tell you about the work I would like to do in the future. well ... I must admit that when I started to study the journalism career at the University of Chile I thought I would like to work on television, being a reporter. However over the years I have noticed that the media such as television and radio are not my favorites. because the work environment in these media is very very stressful. and I do not feel able to control those high levels of stress. but I have noticed that the career of journalist is a very versatile area, which is why it is not necessary to focus only on traditional media (only news topics), because there are other media that deal with more relaxed topics ... . and I think that's what I'm going to dedicate myself to. I would like to work in a magazine that talks about fashion or beauty, like for example in Cosmopolitan Chile, because I am interested in all those types of topics. I would also like to contribute to...

Jimmy´s Hall

Imagen
Since I was a child I have been interested in the arts such as dance, theater and poetry. It is for this reason that the film Jimmys Hall has liked me so much. This film I liked a lot because it mixes my tastes in one film. It has romanticism, joy, sadness and dancing! Also the music of the film is very good, because is contributes of the drama the story The work of director Ken Loach describes the life of the political activist James Gralton, who fights against all the moral thoughts of the church and of a society consumed by  conservatism. Undoubtedly, my favorite character is Jimmy Gralton, because he orders very revolutionary ideals, who are able to fight with the traditional to achieve their most desired goals. The part that I did not like was when the military broke into the Jimmy´s Hall social center, because they beat Oonagh and also because that fact forces the protagonist to leave his hometown, to leave for the USA. On the other hand, my...
