Post 8: English Language Challenges


Well, yet I am in my second year of university, but this was my very first English course at university. I have to admit that before starting the classes I was nervous because during school I was a good English student, but never the best, so, I had no idea of how it would be taking English classes at university. Lucky for me, I realized very quickly that I was at the ideal level of English for me because during classes I felt that it was not so hard, but not so easy either, it was a nice ambient to improve my English level but not dying in the meantime.

About the blogs, I would say that they were an interesting space to learn English, during school in most of my classes we had to do dialogues, and I know that talk to another person is a good way of learning, but blogs are a good way too, I mean, to talk a language is not enough if you are thinking of going to another country to study something, because there you will have to talk, read, and write. So, I believe that blogs were an excellent way to learn and practice this language!

Right now I would say that my main problem with English gets out when I have to talk because I feel that I know how to read and write pretty well, and also I can see a video in English and understand almost everything, but when I have to talk, even knowing what I have to do, I realize that I am not able to do it in the way that I would like to do it. I think that this happens mainly because of lack of practice, so to improve this I am going to try to practice more.

Like I said before, I am able to read, write, and understand someone who speaks English pretty well, and I use that to see YouTube videos, to read comics (in English), to do some research about something that I know that there is more information in English, to hear some podcasts. It is very nice to know English because I feel that I can access more things in every aspect of life!

Post 3: Let's talk about the pandemic

Due to the coronavirus, many people are struggling with many different problems, problems like the economic crisis, which is affecting common people and big enterprises, causing serious complications for almost everybody, increasing the inequity of our country and in most of the world.  There are also difficulties in terms of mental health because the world situation causes anxiety and fear, especially in those people that live alone or in older persons. Also, teleworking and online classes have not been the best experience for many of us, it is well known that those new kinds of work or study made life more difficult, many people now have problems with organization, sleeping habits, and with their yield in work/classes themselves. Today people had to change most of their lives, the way that we used to work, study, share with others, get out to the street, everything now is completely different. The vast majority of us is now living more connected to the internet and technologies than

Post 5: My Future Job

Well, this is something that I have thought about for a long time. At least in this moment of my life, I imagine my job as an archaeologist as one that combines teaching at a University (hopefully an English one) and investigations, with all the travels that imply that. I would love to have the best of both worlds, which means to be in a nice University and a nice city, and at the same time, or with divided periods (like 6 months in the faculty and 6 in an outdoor place) being travelling to make investigations. So, if I had the chance I probably would not travel so much, but I would do it at least once a year. In terms of the salary, I can not give any numbers, because for me that is not a big deal, whenever the salary allows me to live comfortably and without many preoccupations, I would be more than satisfied.  Right now I am in the second year of the major of Anthropology at the Universidad de Chile, and in the future, I am planning to do a master in Archaeology at the Universidad d

England, the place for me

Since I was a little boy, I accidentally began to fell in love with England, the very first sign was my love for " The Beatles ", it was the first time that I felt so much passion for a musical group and for music in general, there was something hypnotizing in them which still today I can't explain, but what remains in me was the knowledge about all his history, history in which England is obviously an important part, and is because of that I started to dream about going to that country. But my path to the British culture didn't stop there, as a kid I also consume some important tv shows from that country, shows such as " Doctor Who ", which was probably the very first tv show I obsessed with. Later on, I remember I discovered " Mr Bean ", and " Sherlock" (the BBC series) which were very influential programs for me because they marked me and forged a big part of my personality, such as my kind of humour, or my perceptive and sceptical way
