English Lenguage Challenges

Hi everyone!

Today I’m going to talk about english at the university. This is my fourth semester learning english. All my english’s levels was different. I think the teachers help so much about how each one learn. 

I enjoyed much my first level. My teacher was very nice. My best remember about she is her vocation and enthusiasm. She trusted in her students and I not had fear to wrong.

My second level was harder. My teacher was sweet but very strict too. I learned so much in that level. Maybe I learned things that I should know before and it was very important for me that she taught me new things.

My third level was the most hard between all levels! I had a really bad experience. I prefer don’t speak about my teacher; just I say that was difficult. In this level I learned to talk much better, with more fluency but I did not learn very well to write and neither I was fine with listening.

This level was nice. I like that the teacher help me with the blogs and she taught me thing that anybody never say me about English before. I like my teacher because she did not criticize me, she helped me improve.

To general level, I think English at the university help me so much, I learned many things! The blogs help me to learn new words and grammar, then now is easier for me read and listening English out the class like a songs, movies or anything that I found in any place.

I think I need to learn much more but I have motivation for learn English out of class.

My 2014

Hello everyone!

Today I’m going to talk about my 2014. I think to write about a year is not easy because many things happend.

I’m so happy with my 2014. I guess that is because this is my last year in undergraduate. I think this was my best year in the university. I enjoyed so much my subjects because this year I could choose just subjects that really interested me!

There is an important thing that happened this year and this is that I found what I like most of my career. I finally decided on a path (actually two). Decide was very hard for me, it was a big achievement. I have a little of fear, but now I’m very happy and expectant for my new year and my new challenges!

I have other achievement. This year I went a self defense seminar. I was very afraid to go, but everything went well and I got a diploma.

There are other things that make me happy. This year I could be friends with my grandfather and the relationship with my boyfriend has been wonderful.

I don’t remember now the things that I did not, maybe I would say that I should have slept more and I should have done more sports.

This year I was very sick! I think this is the worst about my 2014! Now, I remember and really I was very sick. I did not just flu, no! I had very silly accident. For example, this year I had my first operation, but it’s a stupid operation… the doctor operated a my toe!

I think I have a good year (:

My favorite Book

Hi classmates!

Today I’m going to talk about my favorite book. I will not lie, now I don’t remember my favorite book but I can tell you that I love reading in my free time and in my not free time too.

Now I’m reading a book about sport psychology. It’s a very big book and it’s a gift given to me by my  teacher from this subjet. (This book isn’t for a test, it’s just for enjoying and learning).

Whatever, the book that I remember now and I liked it so much is “Crónicas de una muerte anunciada” (Chronicle of a death foretold) by Gabriel García Márquez.  I remember I found this book one day in my closet where  all books are. “Chronicle of a death foretold” is a short book. I didn’t know that I would enjoy it as much as I did.

I think that the best part of the book  for me was the end. I don’t like people telling me the end of the book before I read it, is like I tell you that the main character die in the end of the book. Maybe is obviously that this happend but I thought that the final was different.

I enjoyed so much the rhythm of book. I was completely interested and entertaining all time! Actually the story is very good! Really is so fun when the protagonist’s family search him for save him life. Anybody can not be concentrated about all incident that happend for save and take his life to Santiago Nasar.

How green are you?

                                                                            Hi classmate!

Today I’m going to talk about the environment. I think  now is more easy to learn about friendly practices about environment. People can find  friendly practices on TV or internet, but I think the most important place to learn is home with the entire family.

I don’t consider myself a green person because I think I don’t practice many things for take care the environment. For example, in my house nobody recycle! But, for writing this post I read somethings about the environment and I discovered that I have some good practices.

I live in a little city and is very easy go to any place walking, then I walk so much! I love walking (: another thing very easy is to use a special bag not a plastic bag to go to the  supermarket. Also, when you hang your clothes outdoors, you help to reduce the harmful gases, like a carbon dioxide, that generate climate change! (This is a really easy practice to reduce your carbon foot print :D )Other option is disconnect the electronics thing when you don’t use, like this, you take care the electricity!

After this post, I think many people feel like me. Maybe all persons have friendly practices with the environment but we don’t know! I think there are many things more for take care our environment, because, sometimes,  our actions are very dangerous and it’s not easy change the reality when the consequence are so severe like a global warming, climate change and the greenhouse effect.

My experience in the field

Hi classmates!

Today I’m going to post about my experience in the field. In my career don’t exist many experiences in the field, this is so boring. I have two favorites experiences: one, is the visit to kinder garden and two, the visit at zoo.

I prefer to tell you about the visit at zoo. The last year I had a subjet named “Primate ethology” and the principal evaluation was go at zoo for a research with monkeys.  The first time the instruction was look all types of monkeys for a little time and after choose two species for the research .I went many weeks at the zoo with my classmates for relevant information.

We had look the two species for a long time. We choose some monkeys of species, because each member of group had to look one monkey.  We had make to audio record for register all activities, each movement, each sound of the monkey selected!!

The problem is the zoo not close for us, then we had to work with people see us, with the shout of kids, etc. Other problem or thing that I dislike was the sun. I love the sun but those days I finish with sun burn and an awful headache.

Not all was bad. We could visit all animals after the activity, I can be with my friends and I feel that I learn so much. I enjoy this experience, I think is very useful like a method for use with people in psychology.

My future job

Hi classmates!

Today I’m going to post about my future job. I study psychology and my idea is work like a sports psychologist and like a clinical psychologist. I want work with children and adolescents in the two areas, but I think these jobs are a little differents. One job is more about do it and the other job is more about think.

If my job is like a sports psychologist, I would have a work outdoor many time (depending  on the sport) and for job in this area I would need sportswear. One thing that I like about this  job is I would not need work in an office all the time! I want work like a sport psychology to educational level, this mean that I don’t travel so much. I don’t want work with high performance athletes because they travel all the time and I could not have my own life. It is a very demanding work.

If my job is like a clinical psychologist I can’t go with sportwear. In this job I would have a work in an office. I don’t like much work in an office but I enjoy do clinical psychology. Now I have patients in the CAPs here in the university, then I hope can have a job in this same area.

I really hope can work on these two jobs and have the best of my two favorite areas.

Cultural Shock

Hi classmates!

Today I’m going to post about cultural shock. Is more easy for me tell us since my experience. I live in Rancagua. I’m not just from Rancagua… I live there. I travel everydays to Santiago to  come to the university. 

My city is near of Santiago but in my first year I hate “the big city”. Rancagua and Santiago are very different. Today I will defend my city. For me is amazing see people very stressed all time! Here people run side by side!

 With time I understand why is very stressed the life here but I’m surprised still. In my career we talk much about “stress” and I think is imposible come here and no feel it. The cultural shock that generate is incredible! The most curious is when someone come here for a long time, this someone adopt the same bumpy life style.

I not live here and I feel that I’m very much stressed here than Rancagua. There is thing good with all this for me. Now I value so much my city. Maybe is a little boring, it’s true, but the people is more relaxed. 

I think now  is probable that someone  of Santiago feel too  a cultural shock if come Rancagua…   Maybe  the difference are that makes us the shock.   

Greetings (:
