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...

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...

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...

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 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...

Well, I'm living in Santiago recently, and I dont really know many places to eat good. Although I could recommend a fun place to drink beer in Ñuñoa, called HBH. They sell many flavors of craft beers and other liquors included. In my hometown, Rancagua,  I know places for lunch. A good place to find cheap food is "The Gourmet" located in the center of Rancagua, in the street Ocarroll. To eat vegetarian food, a great place is the "vegetarian" that is on the street Bueras. Very rich food. And if you visit Machali, you should eat a "pajarita" in somewhere restorant center. I think Id like to find a "picada" in Santiago, which really surprised me and I can visit often, but I guess in my 5 years of study, I'll find it. 

I think also that there are certain things that I cant learn at my stage, like classic jazz dance, because I don’t have a  physical condition and you need many years of rigorous training and preparation. I could say it's my frustrated dream But looking forward, I would like to learn photography and piano. A few years ago I took piano lessons, but only learned the basics. It would be nice to play major piano works, for example, works of rachmaninoff. Reading has been a secret passion since childhood, I love reading classic literature, my favorite authors are James Joyce and Roberto Bolaño. My favorite books are Portrait of a young  artist and Savage Detectives. I want to read Finnegans Wake, a book by Joyce, but people say it is very complex and unfinished translations. So I'm motivated to learn English because it is a door that can take you to unlimited knowledge. Other languages ​​that interests me it is German, for the vast German culture, and the great works of l...

I had a blog before, but I posted things of literatura that I considered interesting. The name of my blog was “Hilvanando palabras” and my  user  was “Corazón de Abuelita”. It was a good experience  but I didnt continue writing in this blog because I didnt have time and I am unfocussed young.  Now In English class, I was writing about myself, about my  pleasures and activities. It was strange because I am a reserved person, I dont like to talk about me, if I dont know who especially are Reading me.  So, I am complicated when I must write in English, it was not too much easy. However, Its not terrible after all, English give you the opportunity to access the Universal Knowlegde and learn it. I think I am good with words, I like to write but in Spanish, I feel frustrated when I can express as I am thinking the different things. When I was girl I loved read books and write and this remain today. I would like to write in future things not about myself...

They contribute to society by giving people someone to talk to and be themselves and tell them their problems and feelings, and trying to fix their problems and with that they can be better persons and get along better with other persons They need to be ready to listen to people, to listen to their problems, psychologists need to be very patient with everyone else and be prepared to everyithing unexpected. They also need that people know that  if they have a problem then a psychologist may help  them solve that problem, and also they need to make people aware of what psychologist can do and new studies and discoveries  made by professionals. My favorite subject is history, because I like how everything has changed during the different ages, and also because I study it a lot so I have good marks and that makes me very happy, and because of that now I don’t have to take the final exam

Today I learnt some tips that I absolutly didnt know. The three principal thing when we talk about a better environment are: reduce, reuse and recycle. By recycling you can do so many thing, for example: use a recycle bags, collect no recycle elements like plastic and glass bottle, batteries and mobile phone, and use a special dustbin for diferent litter Personally I am a person who dont have a really conscience with environment, because I dont practice the 3r everyday. However, Id want to be a proactive person and to help so much in the future when I have my own house. I believe the reclycling is a very important topic. The environment is worst everyday because us. All people must to contribute to the cause if we dont want to die right now. Have a good week!

Well, I want to talk about books, because I love them since I was a little girl. My sister was the one who taught me to love books , especially literature. When I start reading a book, I feel a great emotion to discover and revel in the words . Died recently one of my favorite writers : Gabriel Garcia Marquez , I'm sorry that happened , but I also feel great admiration and thank for all wonderful books that leave us, as : One Hundred Years of Solitude , Autumn of the Patriarch , Love in the Time of cholera , the sad story of Candida Erendida and her Heartless Grandmother . Books are a world, where you can let your imagination fly, be happy or sad with the stories. I always remember my childhood with stories of books. I will always want to visit Macondo and Comala, and be friends with Stephen Dedalus . My favorite book is Portrait of the Young Artist , the protagonist is Stephen Dedalus. Great book, very powerful. Today, I try to read at least one book a month, though I could ...

Hi! I will talk about place I met in summer: Chiloe. I went with my mom and my sisters. We travelled  because the school where my mom works, did ​​the trip to celebrate teacher's day.  It was a great trip, one of the best. We could share and  disconnect for one week. Also we had room service, so we only enjoyed.  I liked it was quiet place, you could walk and breathe fresh air.  Chiloe is a beautiful and  mystical place. Its considered a tourist place for attractives like nature, palafitos, lakes, and culture. If you if havent gone, I recommend that you could visit because you will love the beauty and tranquility of Chiloe. I hope you have a good week, and luck in all you studies. Kisses

Hi, everyone. This is my first post, and I hope you like it. I want to talk about my favourite piece of  Technology: mp4. I chose mp4 immediately  because I love to listen music and I am in calm listening music, disconnect me of the world to take a moment for myself.  I remember when I was 13 years old, my mom give me a mp3 (540 MB haha) and i was extremely happy. I could put about 40 songs and to walk from my house until the school listening music. This is Hapiness! After, when Technology developed, My mam bought a mp4 to me. (2GB, better, no?). This was paradise! and I lost it :(. Now I have a cellphone with so many memory and Internet, and i can listen all song I want. Next summer I think to work because I want to buy an ipad with 32 GB capacity, only for music! I am from Rancagua, and I live in Santiago since March for the studies. Music is a great relief to get used to new life in a new city. Well, i see you guys, take a good day. Bye!
