English Language Challenges

Imagen
  I expected having English in university to be a headache, but it was fun, entertaining and a good experience. I learned informacion that will be very useful to me in the future. The evaluations were very practical and allowed me to learn new ways to learn English. writing a blog every week helped me to be constant studying this language, it also helped me expand my vocabulary. every time I had to write a new blog I learned new words about the subject of this one and could apply them in other contexts. This was very useful! Before the pandemic I used to occupy a lot of English: at school, to talk to friends and because I liked it, but I use it very little now, only in classes and when I watch series or movies because of this, I have lost the habit of speaking English, now I only listen to it and read so I aim to speak more in English in the coming months until I feel comfortable. I hope that with my previous knowledge, what I learned in this class and those I acquire in the future I c

Changes to my Study Program

Imagen
  As a first-year journalism student I haven't had a "university experience" yet so it's hard to comment on what I would change from this one but I can comment according to what I have seen and heard: First, I would like the knowledge classes and the practice classes to be better distributed during the years of study, the practices are usually in the upper years and that is why many times the new students are dislucent and abandon the career, because they are only overwhelmed with readings. Second, I would like that in the upper years we could all be "assistants" to the professors, not just some, I would like it to be a rotating job, because it is important that we all learn to teach and we can spend at least a week doing it since it is probably the only opportunity to approach teaching in journalism. Third, although I really like that the University of Chile has a TV studio, radio and many facilities to practice, I would like it to be so in all univer

Time Travel to the Future

Traveling in time seems like a fantastic idea, I have always liked watching movies and reading books about this subject. for the same reason, I’m a little terrified about a trip to the future that   can affect my decisions in the present. We are slaves of time, trapped in the present forever. I would like to travel to the future but with the certainty that my trip will not affect anything, I could go to a future of another timeline (it would be interesting to know how I would be in the future after the decisions I made in that present), it would be less frightening. But if I had to stop imagining so much and travel to "my future" I would go very far, to a future in which there isn’t longer anything or anyone I know now, because I would like to see what the world becames, I don't care what time, but I would really go far. Going so far would help me know if the decisions that the world is making now will have results, I would not stay there, I would return because this wa

My Future Job

Imagen
  What is my ideal job? I have asked myself this question many times and I don't have an accurate answer but anyway there are some points that I would like my ideal job to have: I don't want it to be monotonous, I don't care if it's in an office (although it's not my favorite option), I just don't want to be doing the same thing every day, I don't want to fall into the routine. I want to travel, I want my work to help myself to know new places and to meet people to show the world, I want to have fun working. It’s still difficult to decide an area to work, it could be useful to compare the subjects that I like while I am studying, but the truth, I like many and they are very different so it´s more difficult to project myself. I haven´t mentioned that I will be a journalist so it´s difficult for this to happen, however, this career has a very broad field and it is difficult for me to choose what kind of journalist I want to be. Before I wanted to dedicat

My Favorite TV show

Imagen
  When I was a child I shared a bedroom with my sister, although she is 7 years older than me we used to watch the same TV shows, one day we discovered the channel "Boomerang" and it became our favorite. We watched many series and movies on that channel, one of those was “Gilmore Girls”, the series tells the life of Lorelay Gilmore and her daughter named the same, but nicknamed Rory, the series follows for years the life of this small family and shows us the relationship between them, with their friends, family and lovers. At that time, I remember we liked it a lot but we never finished it, so many years later I watched this series again and I loved it, it became my favorite. I like this series because its characters are authentic and you can identify with them, although, being an old series, some jokes or comments are inappropriate. It’s a very entertaining and ideal series to hang out. I really like the mother-daughter relationship, I like it deals with issues such as teena

A person I would like to meet

  A person I would like to meet is Saoirse Ronan, she is an Irish -American girl. She is just 27 years-old and she is an actress that I love, I love her because first, is one of the most talented actresses of the moment, she is very versatile to act, she is very funny when acting, she is an current feminist icon; she's an empowered woman who raises her voice whenever she can and also has fought to be recognized in the industry. She has acted in movies that I like very much: lady bird, The lovely Bones (I learnt about her in this movie many years ago, it is a very sad movie but I highly recommend it) and Little Women, this latter is a movie based on my favorite book with the same tittle and although physically the actress and the character she interprets (Jo March) aren’t similar to me I like it very much, because she takes the film to another level with her acting. She is a successful actress; she has been nominated four times to the Academy´s Awards and to others awards and she ha

Songs and Memories

Imagen
  A  few days ago I was traveling by car on the road with my family while we were listenning the playlist Disney (My mom, my sister and me love Disney´s songs), when I listen to  Can you fell the love tonight ? I remember I told my mom that no song in the world brought me as many memories and emotions as The Lion King´s songs and I'm sure any song from the first movie excites me in the same way. Right now I tell you a little bit why… When I was in highschool I loved to participate in theatre so when my teacher offerd me to act in The Lion King Musical  obviously I accepted. After months of hard work I learned every scene and song (even those where I didn’t act), that's why every time I listen to a Lion King´s song I remember the rehearsals, the fatigue with I came home after this, the friends I made (even when we got together we ended up singing and acting hahaha) and the emotion behind the stage listening to the songs with echo being interpreted on the day of the premiere
