ENGLISH LANGUAGE CHALLENGES

Last year I had an English course, but for different reasons I had few classes, so I feel that I have really improved my English in the course of this semester. I feel that learning a language with online classes is not difficult, the bad thing is having problems with the internet or with the computer, but apart from that I think that the class has worked well.

I think that what I find most difficult in English is to listen to it and understand correctly some words or the sense of the sentence, and the pronunciation and fluency when speaking it. In the other aspects like reading or writing I feel that I’m better, but I have to improve. The best way to work on my English is to practice constantly to incorporate it which in that sense is complicated because as I don't need to use it in my daily life I stop practicing it. However, I'm always listening to it, mainly in music and series and movies because I prefer to watch them with the original audio and subtitles and somehow I'm learning new words and increasing my vocabulary.

English is present in many things so improving it would be very useful not only for entertainment things but also for informative things or university related things. I hope in the future to be able to read a book or article without depending on the translator haha or to be able to watch a movie without the need to put subtitles and understand everything correctly.

Changes to my Study programme

Hi!! Today I'm going to talk about some changes I'd like to make in my career, which is psychology.

Thinking about what I would like to change in my study programme is a difficult thing to do since I am quite content with the subjects we have. At first I felt that there were some subjects that were not so related to the career but without however, I believe that they are useful in some way to have a more general knowledge of society, so I don't know if I'd change. I'd like the co-curricular activities to be less than what we're required to do, because it takes up time that we could use for the work and study of the subjects of the career  that many times generates us a lot of academic load, in addition it seems to be difficult you can take what you like because there are few quotas.

About the teching methods I would like to see more dynamic or interactive activities implemented, where the use of technology is a good choice, but in the end depends on the teacher. About the buildings and infrastructure of the faculty is not so bad, but compared to other faculties It could definitely be better. For example, the rooms in the old building are a little bit uncomfortable, but in the end you get used to it.

Pandemic and Quarantine

Fortunately I live in a city where there are no active cases of coronavirus, therefore we have not been in quarantine all this time, however we go out only for things necessary to respect the social distance. we all try to help out around the house and accompany each other. It has been difficult to be away from our loved ones, but at least we have platforms to talk to our friends and family, which helps a lot in dealing with this quarantine context.

I think it’s a good opportunity as a society to really understand that it’s very important to overcome something like what we are living with empathy and conscience because it’s about thinking about others, not only about how it can affect you, since by respecting the hygiene and quarantine measures it’s not only to take care of yourself but to take care of all the other people.

with regard to studies at first I had some problems with the computer, but I have been able to fix them, although sometimes my signal is not very good and I have had some problems in some classes. This online mode has disorganized me and it's annoying to have to read so much on the computer, but I guess I'll get used to it because even though I try to be optimistic I think this pandemic is far from being controlled.

Postgraduate study

Today I'm going to talk about if I would like to take a Postgrads Studies after finish my degree in psychology.

I haven't really thought about doing postgrads studies, it's better to concentrate on the present, that is the career, and then see if there's a possibility of taking one. But if I had the opportunity in the future and the circumstances to do so, perhaps it could be some course in educational psychology because I am interested in that area of psychology and that is the one I would like to work most at the moment. Maybe in the future I'll be interested in other graduate studies, but I don't know yet.

As for whether I would like to take the studies in another country, it could be, like some country where English or Spanish is spoken, but it wouldn't be a problem here in Chile either, and in relation to the modality of study it would depend on the time that I would have available at that moment, but I think that part time would be more comfortable.

About my future job

Hi!
In this blog i'm gonna write about a job that i'd like to do in the furure

As a child I never really knew what my dream job was, but after finishing high school I became interested in psychology. Then I see myself working on what I'm studying, in the area of psychology.

The most important and necessary skills or qualities to be a good psychologist are to be empathetic to be able to understand in some way what other people are going through, to know how to listen, patience. It is very important to take this into consideration when trying to help people with their 

problems.

The greatest satisfaction in this job is helping other people and knowing that you have a positive influence on someone's life and this is the motivation you need to do it. I think the best reward a job can give you is to make you happy, if you have the possibility to work on something you like.

Movies

Hi! I'm gonna talk about cinema and a movie that I love it

I've always liked movies. I really enjoy getting to know new stories and characters and that transmit something to you, or make you think about it, or just have a good time watching it.

The movie genres that I like the most are thrillers and drama.  I think one of my favorite movies is Christopher Nolan's Memento (also i love many of his films). I love it because the story hooks you, it's a very thought-provoking film, and it has a unique structure because it doesn't follow the typical timeline.

The movie It's about a man who suffers from anterograde amnesia that makes him unable to keep new memories and searches for his wife's killer on his own. For that he uses photographs and tattoos that help him not to forget the clues he finds.

Even though I'm not someone who likes to repeat a movie a lot, I feel that I could watch it many times and not get bored and also always find something new in this movie.

POST 2: THE BEST HOLIDAYS I'VE HAD

Hi, today I'm gonna write about my best holiday.

 Probably the best vacation I've ever had was in January of the summer of 2018 when I went with my family to the Patagonia. We were there for about a week. We went to Puerto Natales for a few days where we stayed in a cabin where the owners were very kind. The best thing was to visit the Torres del Paine, I remember it was very exhausting to make the trail to go up and see the towers, because it's too many miles to walk but once you get there and can finally see the view you realize it is worth it. The landscapes of that park are beautiful.  We also spent a couple of days next to Argentina, specifically in the city of Calafate, where we went to see the Perito Moreno glacier and we took a lot of pictures there. Even though we had some complications with the vehicle, I remember it as a very nice trip.
