Blog 6: English Language Challenges

 Hello :D I guess this is the end.

About my experience learning English at university, I can say that kept me very active, very awake, like never losing time. I can emphasize the funny way that speaking in English with classmates became to me, since speaking is the least thing that I do in this language. Along the conversations I could notice how my brain looked for words from all my vocabulary in a fast way.

Also, I liked to see videos of celebrities for the listening activities, because I realized that I understand more English that I though and mades me to have more confidence. The texts that we read are not forgotten, and the reason why is that, as the blog of the teacher said, the social and politic content does not only amplied my vocabulary, but taught me new relevant information. They weren't like the typical stories that you will forget.

The use of blogs was the strong part of the program for me, because was the exercise that took me the most amount of time and the one were I search for new words and use it, manipulating all its meaning for my writing, so I learned the more.

Now, I think that I need to work on improve my grammar, there is some sentences were I'm not sure of the structure and that makes me loose fluency when I am speaking. Additionally, I would like to have a better pronunciation. I plan to upgrade in this aspects by practice in everyday life conversations and contents, especially with pronunciation, about grammar I'm not sure how to develop more abilities outside the classes.

Speaking of that, I currently consider that I use English moderately. I see many series and movies in English, sometimes with English subtitles. and others I just ignore the Spanish subtitles for moments. I listen to music in English and I'm constantly reading the lyrics, because I enjoy to sing and also I use them for expresing my own feelings if its relatable. And lastly, I consume a lot of memes in this language. Even sometimes I think in English too :)

I would like to improve in the future.

Goodbye y'all!!

    I find you absolutely right when you say that the political or social issues seen un class are not forgotten lightly. Personally I have a hard time with English, so I will copy in practice the last thing you said, watch memes, series, etc. Thanks for your blog <3

Blog 5: Changes to my study program

Image
Hi! I hope you are all well. Today I'm going to talk about some changes that I would do to the study program of my career. First of all, I can say that I'm satisfied with the subjects of the curriculum. I have enjoyed the subjects until now, and even though I am just beginning with the psychology, I consider that the ones in my following years are accurate, it just becomes a little complicated when it's about some administrations. Related to this, I think that after the pandemia the organization between face-to-face and online classes got chaotic. I mean, in some subjects the content is taught with videos and uses the class for questions, other ones do the class with the content as we normally used to do, but with the technology that became active with the quarantine, it started uploading more content that will be impossible to study in a complete and right way (texts, documentaries, videos, complementary information), so it tends to overwhelm. Instead, I believe that the o...

Blog 3: My dream job

Hello everyone 💕 welcome to my blog 3! Today I'm going to talk about my dream job, which is to work as a clinical psychologist :D. I imagine myself being a good one, I mean, I am trying hard to be a good one, because I would like to make a positive change in the area of mental health in Chile, but what I mainly wish is to make my sessions a comfortable place. In addition, what I really love about this profession is being helpful in the life of people in the search for their well-being, I think that the connection that is built between the patient and the psychologist in the therapy space and in the length of the process is something amazing. So I want to serve in the construction of new ideas that maybe could change a complete world, their own world developed by themselves. Also, on the other hand, it is needed to be aware that is never a perfect development in an ideal way towards progress, but I think that that is the point of this role, the risk of living and working in ourselv...

Blog 1: A country I would like to visit

Image
Hiii, welcome to my blog 1 💟 I hope that you all do well in this activity and hello teacher -v- I'll start. I would like to go to Japan, and I guess that the main reason is obvious but I'm going to say it anyway: anime influence. Hahaha just kidding, well... kind of. Mainly I would like to go there because of the culture, and rather than have some project in mind that I have to do for sure or to be productive, I just want to get fascinated by the typical aesthetic futuristic and a little bit "otaku" of this country, like a vacation trip.  Therefore, the specific city I would like to visit is Tokyo. As you can see, I don't know a lot about the country, buuut I will when I get obsessed with the idea in the future and start planning everything, I promise haha. So, among the places I remember that I'm interested in are these pretties cat cafes that are very popular; the Sega Arcade, which I just find out that all these centers closed :( it took me by surprise, so...
