English Language Challenges

Hi everyone, I would like to talk about my experience with the English at the university. Well, I do not have good reference about English at the university, except this course (the English 4th). I remember the English level 3 like a bored course. We had two modalities, working in laboratory with the writing a blog and other days we had expositive classes. In general, during expositive classes we worked in pair. The teacher chose a specific topic and we must to generate a dialogue around this topic or sometimes we had to answer certain questions about ourselves. The truth is… we spoke in Spanish because it was very difficult and boring to speak in English. When students get into to the university for the first time, they usually are not accustomed to the extensive hours of classes and often the English course is done in the afternoon after being in other classes in the morning, from 8.30 to 13.30. Of course, the students are tired to continue with English classes all afternoon until...
My study program

In my opinion, psychology should have practical courses right off the start because in the beginning we have too many theoretical ones. In the first year the study program has introductory courses for social sciences, like philosophy, anthropology, sociology, epistemology, among others. Therefore, first year psychology students don’t get to know about their professional field, so they get discouraged and unmotivated. Only when students undergo their fourth year they are able to approach psychology’s professional field because courses this year increase their specificity. At this point the student must decide what kind of psychology they will choose to work in. From my perspective the workload and length of my career are adequate; I think that five years are necessary in order to become well-trained in psychology’s many applications. Our curriculum contains learning about educational psychology, organizational psychology, law psychology, clinical p...
Winter Holidays: to be a nurse

Well Well Well, I do not really want to think about my winter holidays because it will not be what I would like. Although I am going to spend some time with my family at least. During my winter holidays my father will operate his leg and he needs to be hospitalized for 1 or 2 weeks, somebody must take care our dog (my father and me) and as he cannot do it, I must do it. I cannot disappear because my dog will die L and my father will need any word to comfort. After my father discharge from the hospital, I will take care in home until I must come back for studying to Santiago. I don’t regret that because I love him and I wish he is healthy above all. So I am thinking my holidays peaceful in home, taking a rest, sharing with all my family and helping my dad. Maybe some weekend or some days I am going to a friend’s house in the beach, It will be perfect to me. I enjoy the beach very much, and it is cool when it is not full of people. And some days I think to share with my ...

Well, I feel very sad when I must think about my future job, I would like to think about my future without job that involving responsibilities. But it is just a desire because now in fact, I am working teaching kids. At this time I have two students, Rafaela is 9 years old and Agustín is 13 years old. I really enjoy what I am doing I don’t know why but I feel fulfilled when I see the kids are learning and their faces light up when you tell them “hey, you can do it”. I think sometimes I would like to do classes again or collaborate to improve Chilean education from my study area, the psychology. Sometimes I intend to practice as clinical psychologist, but I don’t want to work forever like that. I would like to work doing research in neurosciences and education. On the other hand, I am motivated to work as a legal psychologist, collaborating with victims of violent crimes, young offenders or working in the prison system. I believe that it is a challenge to work in this area where pr...
My momentary obsessions

This year I am going so much to cultural activities because I thought that this year of classes is the last one for me. When you are student you can take advantage about your personal time, you have free afternoons or free mornings. Definitely, you cant structured hours and Im not working yet. I always wanted to go more frequently to the cinema, to the theater, to walk for the cultural places of Santiago, to see exhibitions and to meet all the parks because I didnt live in Santiago before and I had curiosity about this city. When I just arrived I was worried to survive the university so I didnt know other things besides the U. Now Ive been going to the cinema, Ive been watching good films, some of this year and other older but masterpieces. Ive been going to the theater, one of my best friend is studying theater and Ive taken the time to see her acting. And another of my friends is tourist guide in centro cultural la moneda, and she performs different cultural activities about Chile ...
My best concert

My best concert was Silvio Rodríguez. I went the last year with my four sisters. It was the first time that we were going to a concert together and without our parents. My sisters are young girls like me, so we share too many interests like the music taste, especially Silvio Rodríguez. I guess this music taste is because my mom always loves his music and she showed the best song of him and my sisters and I continue listening another songs and different albums. The concert’s day we travelled from Rancagua to Santiago on car with my dad who waited for us until the end of the concert. We bought some snacks for the concert and we had tea that my mom sent from Rancagua. That’s was perfect because the concert was a winter day and its was very cool in the night. After my dad said goodbye, we entered to the Movistar Arena and we smoked weed, just me and my biggest sister, the others two didn’t smoke anything. I enjoyed very much because I was with my 4 favorite people in the world and I ...

Hi guys, today I’m going to speak about my relationship with the English Language that is not too cool. I treat to learn it since I was child but it feels a little difficult because it is something i don't use every day. I forget the pronunciation of the words so I can’t communicate my ideas adequately and I frustrate myself. I prefer to write in English because i can remember how to write the words and it feel more comfortably communicating what i think. I would like to improve my English because I always have wanted to travel for many countries meeting different cultures and sharing with different people. A lot of people speak English, it's one of the more used language in the world. Mainly that is the reason for I want to learn it. Besides, I like to read and I have some favorites American and English writers that I would love reading them in their original language, because the translations sometimes aren’t good. I think there are a couple good reasons to be more ene...
