English language challenges

Hello!

This is the final post and I have to write about mi experience in the program of English of my university.

In general I enjoyed the experience because I think that it’s made for people like me. Before the course I understood a little of English but I didn’t have the grammatical abilities for the language, for that, the course was very useful for me and I really think that I improved my level of English.

About the blogs, I have to say that was not my favorite thing to do. I am not a fan of the social medias and I really don’t like that the university force me to write about me and my opinions on a platform of internet.  I would prefer write stories on my home and keep my private information just for myself. But, I recognize that is good write in English for improve that issue.

I think that I still have to improve my level on English in the four abilities: listening, talking, writing and reading. However, at the moment I think that I am better listening and reading over talking and writing. My plan is continue practicing my English reading books in English, taking courses online, and, as far as possible, go to USA or U.K and improve there.

Outside of the English class I use English these day mainly when I read papers in English about my thesis topic and when I see movies or series, I prefer see the movies in the original language.

I really hope to keep improving and English can be my second language J

Changes to my study programme

I really love my career and right now I can't imagine another profession that could be so good for me, but even in the great careers and in the best universities it's possible make changes to improve the formation of future proffesionals.
The first thing that I would change, if I could, is the duration of the career. In Chile it's very usual that social science careers have a duration of five years but, in my opinion, is too many time for a discipline like sociology, in fact, in other countries the extension of the plans of proffesional formation are between 3 and 4 years. Some people think that the higher duration of the careers in Chile are due to caught economics advantages for the universities
Other thing that I definitely would change in this university specifically is the infraestructure. Here the buildings are old and impaired, many times the students, and even the teacher, are constrained in the classroms and exist just a few of recreational areas. In this order of things, the tecnology is other factor that is posible to improve in this faculty in particular.
The burocracy in the career is other thing that I would like to change because many times you can lose a lot of time just in paperwork or formalities. Also, not exist in the faculty an strict orden and for that is not strange that the notes is not uploaded when it has to.
So, that are the main things that I would like to change in my career and my faculty, but, even with all this, I still love my career :)

Winter Holidays

Hello!
Today I have to write about winter holidays.
All my life I was enjoy winter holidays because I love the rain, the wind, the snow and every aspect of winter
In general I have no money for do stuff in winter holidays, so I stay in home in that ocations.
But, for this winter holidays I have plans even with no money. I would like to visit the "Cajon del Maipo" with my motorcycle, to do trecking in their mountains, go to the "Embalse el Yeso" and many other places there. Also I would like to do the tipical activities that you do in vacations, like go to the cinema, visit museums and thing like that. I would like to be with my mostly boyfriend and with my friends too.
Another thing that I love to do in winter holidays is eat and drink the tipical food and drinks of winter, like eat "sopaipillas", drink a lot of tea and soups and eat "Cazuela" and "calzones rotos".
In the future if I have the money I would like to travel a lot, specially go to the south of Chile and countries from the zone because I don't want to get lost the winter experience. Also I would like to do ski and many activities in the snow, sadly today is more difficult to do this thing because go to the snow is more expensive that do another activities.
So, that is all for now. I hope you can enjoy this winter holidays :)
