English lenguaje challenges

woww I can't believe that this semester is ending! this is my third semester with english class and if I compare now with the first semester I believe have improved. The truth, I'm not good for english. Since I was at school, the english is a torture for me but with the english class of the university I have been developing skills that I never thought I could do. Thanks to the blogs I can think sentences, learn words and understand more english! I still have a lot of to learn but these semesters with the blogs have been a leap to my learning. In this process I have noticed an improvement, however, I know that read and listen are important skills that I haven't been able to develop because I haven't dedicated too much time in their learning. Many people tell me that I need to watch movies and series in english as a method to learn and I will try to do. This is a good way to expand vocabulary and accustom the ear to understand and pronounce english. Also, It is very f...

Changes to my study program

The study program of Social Work has things that I like it but I would change some classes. The curriculum of social work at Universidad de Chile is different when we compare with other universities, here the relationship between theory and praxis is the focus but in this two years we have not had any practice. This program had many courses about philosophy, political theory, contemporary theory, political economy, among other,  that are necessary to the praxis, but in these first years we don't have classes that take us closer.  From the third year we will approach the job that we will make in the future as social workers, but this method doesn´t allow us to understand the program in these two years where you decide if you like the profession or not. Also, there are transversal subjects that are obligatory in the program but they aren't effective for the discipline. The subject "Leer, escribir y hablar en las Ciencias Sociales" didn't allow us further deve...

Opinion

What is your opinion about animal testing? I am against animal testing in the industry. This is often known in the cosmetic industry but in other industry this method is used like clean products, stationery items (pencils, glues), chemical for clothes, among others. For me, the animal testing is very cruel because the ultimate objective is kill animals to  verify what chemical it can be used in the products.  What is your opinion about legalizing marijuana and other drugs? I agree because I know people that told me the benefits of marijuana, for example: curing diseases, reduce stress, and others. For me, the marijuana is less dangerous in comparison with other types of drugs that are legal like liquor, sleeping pills, sugar (I am addicted to this one). I think that this dispute to legalizing marijuana is for bad reputation that large companies give to it because of the benefits of consume. What is your opinion about owning an exotic pe...

If I won the lottery.....

Woww This topic is interesting because I usually thinking about it in the end of semester (like now he he he). I used to say that if I won the lottery I would leave the university to travel or just relax but I wouldn´t do that because I like the program of Social Work.  If I won the lottery, first, I would pay the university (I pay the studies bolster with a credit) and also I would pay the university of my sister and brother (they studied with credit and now they must pay).  Secondly, I would travel with my family on vacations for Chile. We have planned to visit the Atacama desert and Iquique, and if I won the lottery, the cost of the travel it wouldn't be a problem. Also, I would like to know Mexico and Colombia, and study at a University of these countries.  Thirdly, I would buy a house to my parents and I would help my mum with her project about a Hospital School. She tried to do this project a few years ago and she couldn't do it. Finally, I woul...

Post graduate studies

I don't know if I wish to keep studying in the future but in the last time I have been thinking about studying abroad. My problem is the cost of having this travel, airline tickets, lodging and pay the subject (which are usually expensive) then my hopes are gone. I would like study in Mexico because in this country I don't need to know how to speak english (I'm just kidding he he he). I love Mexico and their culture and in a future I will try to travel to this country (not necessarily for studies) and if is for studies, it's better! I have been thinking about to study in Universidad Autónoma of México (UNAM) because this university has years of prestige in Latin american and the world. Within their teachers there is Enrique Dussel (philosopher Argentine that live in México) who teaches about political economy from critical theories, specifically, from  "Teoría de la Liberación". This theory is think it from the history of America Latina and exploitation of...

My favorite animal

Imagen
I love the animals! I always watch videos about funny animals in my free time but this week I will choose the monkeys to write about. Netflix have documentaries about animals and I usually watch with my sister, where it shows different species and how they live within an environment. The all animals the most beautiful, funny and quite is the monkeys. Besides that they are very similar with the human (expressions, laughter or sociability), they are intelligent because they take a object and think what will do with it (how throw a fruit to another monkey to entertaining).  They live in dense forest or in the Savana, measuring between 75-95 cm and they eat small animals, fruit and leaves. Live about 20 years and make it in families. They move while looks for food and being so intelligent they can adapt to environment (many animals can't do that).  I love that they are funny and do it because they understand, they always stay together and among them, they take care of each ...

My favorite TV show

My favorite TV show is Malcolm in the Middle. I remember When I was six years old saw this TV show in the national channel but my memory is vague. I used to see this tv show together my sister and brother in the weekend but I don't remember the time on air. A few years ago this TV show returned on air in the national channel and I love it! Malcolm in the Middle is one of the few shows where I laughter. This TV show entertains me every morning on Saturday with the humor of the serie. Malcolm is a teenage with a dazzling brain who lives with his family. He have four brothers and parents, whom criticize. He is in a special class for intelligent people. My favorite character is Hal, the Malcolm's father who represent an affection figure with a great humor. I laugh with him and my favorite episodes are when he is the main character, like one episode when he teaches Malcolm how to skate. It was amazing episode that I remember the most. I was my entire vacation seeing this seri...
