ENGLISH LANGUAGE CHALLENGES

Hi everyone! today the topic is about our experience and english development, I would like to know about yours! Let me some commentary.

I can say that my experience with this courses of english isn´t bad, I really improved  a lot my skills in the lenguage, but, I don´t like this have to be mandatory, in the first and second year of my career I had six subjects in every semesters, and CFG´s, and english take a really big space that somethings is difficult to handle it, are a lot of academic overload, the two modules are really exhausting.

About the blogs I can say are very useful and even somethings fun for me, at least is better than make a simple  and boring letter or an e-mail, like the activities in the secundary or primary. also, the topics are more diverse.

Even though that I had a good development with my english, I think I must improve my pronunciation and my vocabulary. In general, I think I can safeguard myself, but also I can be very forgetful and confuse easily a lot of words and verbal conjugations. I have to practice more to remedy this situation.


The last week I downloaded a game in the celephone, "The arcana", is a game about romance but you can choose the character you want, also, the game has"mini games" where you can get special postcards of the characters, and get a "tarot lecture" free if you use the game for seven consecutive days.  All is in english, so, I can practice every day with this game. I highly recommend it,  maybe the only problem is the high level of the english.

Also, I read every day a lot of webcomics, the majority is in english, because even the chilean artists write their comics in english.

CHANGES TO MY STUDY PROGRAMME

Hi everyone!, today I will talk to you about my study programm, to star, if somebody doesn´t know I´m studying psychologyst, and I´m in my second year of the carreer.

About the subjects that I had, and I have to study this semester I can highlight sociology and psychopathology, the last one because is an approach of the mental illness, and for the next semester this will open us psychiatry, we will visit the psychiatric hospital and see live sessions. Its exciting. Personaly, I like very much the programm of my carerr, specially because in the third year we can choose our subjects, and choose in wich area to specialize.

I think here there is work overload, that is incredibly damaging for the students, the mental health (and health in general) are set aside, it makes no sense to fight to enter an institution that exhausts you that way and makes you suffer at that level.

I like the facilities that give us the university, but I think that could be better, there are never enough rooms available, and at least in Facso, the classrooms are really bad, in first place these are really small, the acoustic is terrible, and they are very hot (is not pleasant in summer). But, the faculty is working in more aularios, I hope this helps to improve the situation. Otherwise, I adore the services of here, for example the computer loan or the cheap prints (in my case, this is very useful, because in my carrer we have to read a loooot).

About the teaching methods... this can be a really subjective, in my experience I can say I´m very satisfied in some way, in my primary or secundary education I didn´t have the best teachers (the majority of cases, the classes are only copy and paste the board), so, personally, this change of the school at the university was very nice, I love what I´m studying right know, and I think I understand almost every teacher... (In anyway I have to study a lot for every exam); Probably things could improve if this problem about the workload fixed.

me, every night 

PERSONAL OPINIONS

Hi classmates, today the activity is answer some questions, I will leave the questions in case anyone is encouraged to answer them or leave their opinon in the comments.

First question, What do you think about tattos? 
Well, in my case I´m a very fan of tattos (even if I don´t have one righ now), I think it´s a good way to express something and leave the mark on the skin, I know many people who use their tattoo as a reminder, "don´t give up" or "keep going". Also, I have never understood why the people have a bad attitude with people who use a tattoo, I think the tattoo is something symbolic, and it shouldn´t necessarily be something serious, some people like to talk about it, and for other is something personal, but never a tattoo make someone less person, or less able to do something.

Second question, What do you think about legalizing marihuana an other drugs? 
This topic maybe, I think, is a little delicated, especially now, that many students consume marihuana (the university is a good example). First of all, I think the consume of marihuana is really normalized, something really dangerous, I don´t say is something bad, but the limit between consuming and having an adicction is getting smaller day by day, and nobody can deny that habits can have negative consequences; But, even with that, I don´t think that leaving marihuana and other grugs illegal is a solution, people keep consuming every day even with a law, a better regulation can help.

Third question, What do you think about the Chilean tradition called "mechoneo"?
Ugh, I don´t have much to say about this. When I entered to the university, I was very scared about it, and  I was very lucky because in my carrer nothing happens, only good vibes. For me, the violent "mechoneo" is really dangerous, and harmful, especially when a student is being forced, the mechones has enough with the beginning of the semester to add something else to worry about.

Fourth question and the last one, What do you think about recycling? 
I can say I´m very in accordance with the three "R" (reduce, recycle and reuse), but, the view is so bad, that recycling is not enough, our planet is destroyed, and a very small percentage of what we consuming is really recycling and reused. Is really time to make a change, but every day all the social media attack us with news about how our planet is getting worse, I think the people is tired, really tired and desmotivated; I hope more people open their eyes and try to do something, more than recycling.

TV SHOWS AND SERIES

Hi classmates! In my previous post I have emphasized that I don´t have favourites, this also applies to the series, so, I will talk in general about series I enjoyed in my life. 

When I was a Child every weekend my father and I went to the fair, we usually bought fruits or vegetables, but also bought movies, and years later, series like The walking dead or  Games of Thrones so, I have a really looong list to choose. Also, with my mother usually see a lot of series in the tv, especially Friends and Merlí (and the last one: Outlander). With another relatives I found other series, one of my cousin love the anime, so I see a lot too, one that I would like to recommend is Death parade, it isn´t not well known. The most of my friends enjoy the animations, series like Voltron or The prince Dragon are series that we have seen together.

I don´t talk about a specific serie, but, I can say I really enjoy them because, the stories, I adore when a story is well developed and is consistent over time, and I also love being able to see how the characters grow in the aftermath of the story, it´s often rewarding. In the case of the animations, be an anime or not (because Voltron is not, for example) I love when the artist or the animator they manage to show an emotion in a character, to the point that you can feel it, to the point you can laugh with the characters or you can suffer with the characters. 

I usually enjoy stories about fantasy, in other universe or other word, or in a typical o normal word but something strange breaks in and everything changes. 

Is there any serie that you haven´t seen but you would like to? 

I have a looot of series I really want to see but I haven´t, I don´t know why, but when i have some spare time and I can see a serie o movie I never see something of my "waiting list", I know is stupid, but at least I see a lot of series that are not too well known, like Bates motel or The good doctor. 

Like a curious fact, the last two series I mention: Bates Motel and The good doctor have the same actor as the protagonist, and is very cool and amazing how he can give all the personality to Norman (Bates motel) and Shawn (The good doctor), because they are total opposites. 

I think that´s all, I hope you have a very good week! If you have a serie to recommend please let a commentary! 

See you! 

FRIENDS

VOLTRON
