English learning process

Hi there! This post is about the English learning process at University during this year.

Learning English this year at the University has been a nice experience because we use different and creative methodologies that made the experience funnier.

English is not difficult for me, but in the school I had a really bad teacher and we hate each other, so he always made my life harder trying to put me bad marks, but he couldn’t because I was good. But this year classes have been nice, using blogs is something different, and it’s good because it helps you to be creative at the same time you are improving your writing, and also you can know things you didn’t know about your classmates.

Anyway I think that there are still some things I need to improve of my English, like my pronunciation and some problems I have talking in English, I think that’s a bit difficult for me because I don’t have ways to practice English, but maybe it can be improved by practicing songs I like in English, and trying to talk in English with foreign people if I have the opportunity.

Finally, outside the English class I’m not using English these days because all my classes are in Spanish and the people I know doesn’t speak English in the normal life. Last semester I have to read a text in English for a test, it was hard at first, but finally I could read and understand it. I really need to know English to do that kind of things.

2014

Hello, hello! This post is about the good and the bad things of 2014.

This year has been a nice year from me, I’ve had too much good things and some other bad ones, but absolutely more good than bad things.

Part of those good things is that I’ve made a lot of friends. Some of them in my first job at Bravissimo in the summer vacations, and in the university I have known a lot of nice people, I’ve made good friends in here and every time I’m knowing more people, that’s nice because I like people very much. This year (in February) I also started a relationship with an old friend of mine, and we have a really good relationship, we like to go camping and that kind of things, so it’s really fun. I also have had good marks this year at the university, at first I thought it was going to be really hard for me, but I like the career very much.

Situations that didn’t go so well are the things in my home, this year (a month ago) I left my mom’s house for some particular problems and now I’m living with my dad. That’s not so terrible, but it has been difficult for me.

My best achievement this year was to get in the University and the career I wanted since 2 or 3 years ago, I’m really proud of that, and have goods marks also is something nice for me because my school was not very good.

Those are events to highlight: to be in the university, made good friends and have a good relationship, bye bye!

The Cure

Hi everyone! Today’s post is about an old band I like very much: The cure

The Cure is an English band born in 1976, which plays alternative rock, the singer of this band is Robert Smith and he is very special because of his style and voice. The truth is that their music is more than alternative rock, I think they play music full of emotions that can’t be classified. Some of their music is really dark, and you can listen them when you are depressed or angry, they have beautiful love songs and happy songs that I like to hear when I’m happy, and the lyrics of their songs are really creative, you can see that in songs like ‘Lullaby’, which is about a boy who is scared of a spiderman that appears at night, and in ‘Lovecats’, which is about love between cats.

I like this band since I’m 12 years, and it’s very weird because they are old, people of my age don’t use to know them so I can’t talk about them very much, but that doesn’t matter because they are really really cool. 

They came to Chile last year and made an amazing concert at the Estadio Nacional, I went (of course) with my history teacher and his wife (both friends of mine) and it was like a dream because I’ve always loved that band, and it was the first at only time they came.

How green I am?

Hi everyone! Today’s post is about how green I am.

I don’t really know how green I am, the truth is that I try to be the most green I can be, but sometimes is difficult because in Chile there are no conditions to take care of the environmental. From the state the laws are weak, people and companies don’t use to respect them, and when there are some projects to recycle or that kind of things, they only come from the municipality (and not all the municipalities in Chile have the same will or budget to take care from environmental stuff).

Anyway, people can learn about environmentally friendly practices in books, tv programs (in 13c channel are lots of them) and mostly on internet. I think that searching on the internet is the best way to learn about environmentally friendly practices, because there is a lot of information and it’s easy to find.

I try to incorporate recycling to my habits the most I can. For example, I haven’t bought notebooks since I am in the university because I’m re-using my notebooks from the school (They have a lot of empty pages), I prefer to repair broken things instead of buying and that kind of things, I also like to walk (I don’t have a car anyway) and use the public transport. I know is not very much, but that is the easier way to recycle and be green for me.

I have never taken part in an environmental organization because priorities for me are in other topics, but I think that the work that those people do is really important.
