the last post!!

Hi class, I hope you are fine. Today I am going to talk about my experience learning English at the university.  

This is the last post in my career, and I am so happy for that, I don`t like English so much and always I think that the English class in the school was boring and a punishment, because the  form of that are always same, without  innovation and without things that motivate to the class.

In the University, I had English class since my first year of career, because I was really bad in this topic (and now I am just bad ahahaha).  And my experience, compared to the school, was so much better. The activities are more fun, with more innovation, this activity of blogs is entertaining and I could improve considerably my vocabulary and my grammar to the write and speak.

In general, during my four years in this university and in this career I had a good relation with my English teachers, and so this was important to my learning and my attitude in the class.

I think that the important thing in this moment is practice a lot my English, in different situations, with different persons, with the intention of improve my English. I think that the English is a tool very important to me, because I want to travel a lot in my future, and the English can be fundamental to the communication with persons of other cultures.

This was a great experience, nevertheless, I am happy of finalize, and I hope to finalize of the best way.

Hobbies

Hi class, I hope you are fine, today is a new Friday and I am happy for that.

In this opportunity I am going to talk about my hobbies.

Well, at present I don´t have many times for other activities, the university and my work take up all my time. But, in the rest of my time I like go to the parties, all weekends I go to the any party with my boyfriend or my friends, or both. And so, I can tell that “go to the parties” is a hobby to me.

Also, I like so much watch series, in the last years I watched a lot of series. I watch: 

How I meet your mother; 

orange is the new black; 

American Horror Story (that just now have a new season); 

Game of Thrones; 

Profugos (is a great Chilean series); 

Vikings (is a series based on real events, specifically in the life of the Viking called Lodbrok).

The series that I watch in at moment is Malcolm in the middle, that series is a classic! It is very funny. When I was a child I watched this series on TV, but I never can watched all season, and so I am watch all season just now.

Watch series is a great hobby to me!

Other Hobby that I have is read books; I love read a good book, my favorite kind of books is about adventures. The sagas of adventures are the best! The saga that I am reading in at moment is The Hunger Games; Just now I am read Sinsajo, the last book of the trilogy. 

How green are you?

Hi class, I hope you are fine. Today I’m going to talk about environment and my relation with it.

Well, I don`t have much green habits, and the only that I remember at the moment is my habit of taking out the trash always in a garbage, especially when I walk along the street.  

I don´t have other habits, but I think that the environment and the recycling are very important especially today in our world, for all things that everybody knows.

The last semester, in my class of English III, my teacher at that moment, shared a video with the class about ten tips to recycle, the video is nice, and so I like to share this video with you.

The link of the video is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjbSEIOUp4w  I hope you enjoy it.

The thing that is more important to me about this topic is the preservation of the environment to take care the habitat of the other species, I really think that the planet has its own process and its own history, but the humans are many times irresponsible their with own lives and the life of others species.

This topic about other species and the planet makes me remember a TV show called “COSMOS”, it is a TV show really good, I don´t like so much the science, but this series is entertaining and interactive. I think that this TV show is the bible of the science ahahahaha I Hope you can see this series at any moment.

This is the link of the trailer:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFF2ECZ8m1A enjoy it! 

What would my friday be without the english class in the afternoon??

Hi class, I hope you are fine.

Today I`m going to talk about my Fridays in the afternoon without English class.

Well is an interesting question, because I could do many things.

This semester is very powerful to me, I have a lot of class, and so, in a first moment I use my Friday’s days to rest and sleep all day hahahaha.

On the other hand, I take advantage of every opportunity that comes my way for go to the parties, and to see and share with my friends and my boyfriend.

Maybe, others Fridays I go to work to collect money (I work in a Home center Sodimac, like ‘empaque’).

Finally, I don´t have none other class the Fridays, so probably, very occasionally I could organize any little trip to the surroundings of Santiago, like: San José de Maipo, Valparaiso, and other places of the central coast (I love travel; I said that this activity is a vice to me).

The last idea that I can imagine is the idea of take a course of dance. 

My professional future

Hi class, I hope you are fine, today I`m going to talk about my professional future.

I study Psychology; this is my fourth year, and the next year I hope to finish my career.  I don´t know if I want to carry on studying, but the only thing I will say about that (because is the only thing sure), is that I want to work in the public system of mental health, specifically in the Cosam of my neighborhood or nearby.

In this place I hope I can help out people with addictions problems. I hope to be a support for the families with this problems, help improve their family relations, renforce their bonds and this way improve their life quality and mental health.

I would like to work on the menta health of my community because I grew up in a place denominated as socially vulnerable I saw neighboors family and Friends fall in drug problems , and I could see the sufering that this brought on the families and how it deeply affects not only the mental health of the consumer. When someone is an adict and has a family the whole family is victim to the situation.

I am concious that the drug problem goes beyond the people themselves and that if the same dynamics the same context and the same inequality of oportunities in this families persists, it is very unlikely that they will leave consumption. Still I want to help to this situation with my profession.

Explosion of bomb

Hi class, I hope you are fine, today I`m going to talk about the explosion of a bomb in our city this last Monday.

The explosion of the bomb was very unexpected and impressive to me, because in a first moment I really thought that the explosion was cause for any kind of group anarchist or something like that… and most especially for the dates, the commemoration of the 11 of September, etc.

This was my first impression. Then, I watched TV, and all show about the explosion, and my vision about that undergo a completely changed. Besides, internet was full information about that, in special the social network: Facebook. My friends and all the people had any opinion in that regard. They talked that the explosion of the bomb was all a complot by government (with help of the official means of communication), with the purpose of stray the attention of the people and stop all protest (about transantiago and metro) and also distort the student movement.

With all information about the explosion of the bomb, I think that we have to be careful with the official means of communication, because that’s the most important and powerful tool of the power in this moments. I don´t know who was the responsible in this case, but independent of that, in any moment the news can be distort and we became accomplices of the injustice of this system. 

Here is a video of a woman and her opinion about the warnings bombs, I hope that you enjoy it!

My best holidays

Today I´m going to talk about my best holidays ever.

This holiday was the last summer, and the itinerary of this holiday was very intensive, because my boyfriend and I went to Bolivia, but to get there we backpacked across north of Chile. We knew the majestic desert, it is immense and beautiful (but after a few hours, the landscape becomes very monotonous).

Once in Calama, we came across with some friends and traveled all together until Uyuni, a city in Bolivia. In this place, we organized the rest of the trip.

We traveled for a month, and my favorite place in Bolivia was Sorata, a city in Bolivia with beautiful landscapes. It is very similar to the south of Chile, because it has rivers and wonderful trees. This city is special because it made me think about the big adventure that we lived when did the road to Saint Peter Cave. The second day in this city, we woke up at 11 am, and we walked to Saint Peter Cave (it is a natural cave that inside has a fantastic lagoon and bats).

The trekking was ten hours!! At the beginning everything was all right, but when we came back, the exhaustion was TOO MUCH!! And the worst of all, the weather was terrible, rainy and cloudy, and because of that, the mountains were falling down!! I was afraid many times. 

The Road to Saint Peter was very difficult for me (because I also have asthma), but despite that, I was very happy, I saw beautiful landscapes, the saint Peter Cave was amazing. So I remember with affection the adventure.

Salar de Uyuni
