Post 10 > Your blog experience.

The English classes at the university have been very interesting, they are not so different from the classes that I had during middle school, in the sense of exercises and reviews, but the fact that the teachers are constantly changing, makes it very Dynamic, since we are learning different learning styles, each teacher has his way of teaching, some explain even the smallest details and that implies that in some way we will learn new things. The use of blogs has been an interesting methodology to try, but it is not among my favorites, I would rather have to write a story (such as a story, or a narration), with different topics and thus review the writing little by little. .

I think that what I need to improve the most in my English is listening and speaking, since I am not so good at pronunciation, and it is difficult for me to understand others when I must listen to them speak English. I plan to improve speaking by practicing a lot at home, simple sentences and other more complicated ones, to improve myself, and in the case of listening, I have been watching some movies in English, with English subtitles as well, to assimilate the sounds with the words, I have been listening to music in English too, trying to translate the lyrics as I listen, I am not that good at it, but I am progressing little by little, compared to how I was at the beginning.

I don't usually use English much in my daily life, unless I'm fooling around with virtual friends, since I met several foreign people (from Latin America) and sometimes we interact a little in English to joke around a bit, so that way I have also been practicing writing in English, although I consider that it is not enough, since in some way or another, we end up speaking in Spanish.

Post 9 > Changes to my study program

Although I have not finished my studies, I think that some changes could be made in the study plan, regarding some subjects, I do not think that these subjects are irrelevant or unnecessary, but I do think that several should be taught in a different way than the current one . In some of the subjects it seems that the teachers do not feel like teaching, and this is reflected in the performance of the students, that is something that should be changed, either by changing the teachers or they change their teaching method to one that is more attractive to your students.

So far I do not consider that the academic burden is really heavy, since if there is any conflict at the national or university level that may affect our studies, the teachers open an instance of dialogue where they reduce the academic burden as much as possible according to the current situation at that time, that benefits us a lot when trying not to feel suffocated and stressed by the academic load.

The facilities are not the most current, they need some remodeling, nothing that cannot be fixed, but the problem lies in the financing of everything, this financing is almost nil, which shows the importance given to us as a faculty and the concern that they give us at an educational level, but it could be worse, at least we have a moderately functional building that allows us to study, even if it is not the most appropriate.

Post 8 > Summer Vacations

It has been a long time since I have had summer vacations as such, my vacations usually consist of staying at home, spending time with my pets, sleeping everything that I did not sleep during the year and seeing some series that I have left pending.

The year before last, my vacation consisted of visiting my best friend from time to time, I stayed over at her house for a couple of days, we played video games and then each one watched a pending series, I watched The Untamed, a Chinese series of science fiction, and my best friend watched Haikyuu, a sports anime.

This year I had planned to spend the "summer vacation" again watching series or reading manga, perhaps using some online program to learn another language, I had pending Russian and German, which are quite complicated languages, and perhaps somewhat difficult to learn, but nothing is impossible, I just have to fight against my constant laziness to achieve it.

If the subject of the pandemic ends perhaps I could also meet my best friend again, since we had some pending things to do and I promised her that I would cook many of the things I learned to do during the quarantine, mostly sweet and spicy , so one of the plans is to visit it.

Traveling is not one of my vacation ideas, although I like to travel, currently I am not very interested in getting to know other parts of Chile since most of them I knew when I was little and traveled more than once. Travel abroad is not an option since we do not have the necessary money at home, so I prefer to simply spend my vacation at home looking at the pending things that I was putting off.
