English language challenges

Imagen
So in this entry I'm going to tell you about my experience learning English at university. It was pretty cool I might say. Study English, and other languages in general, is an activity that's very fun and interesting to me. I suppose the different accents sound cool to me, and I want to learn those all. So, learning English at the uni was a great experience, but there are some things that would be better. For example: I would like to have more opportunities to speak with other classmates, make some video doing an interview to a native speaker or something like that, because I think one of the things that really helps us to improve is to have conversation with level up speakers. About the blog I might say that is the thing that liked me the most about this course. Write to actually be read by another classmates is a fun thing. It gives you motivation to write well, and I would like to continue doing this. But, one aspect that I need to improve is the capacity to make

Changes to my study programme

Social Science Faculty, University of Chile. As you know I study social work. On my career we study a lot of social sciences areas, for example we have some courses of economy (I and II), legal regulations, sociological theory (I y II), anthropology, psychology, philosophy, ethics, statistics and history. Also, we must study different social topics like: public policy, social intervention, planification, social movements, sustainability and social impact, epistemology, etc. As you can note my career is a very interesting and diverse field, that is one of the things I like the most about it, because all these subjects are fun to me. This career last 4 year, after that you get your academic grade. But the program includes a 5° year in which you must do a diplomat or a magister. About the workload it's increase along the years as all the careers I think. The most part is about to read a lot of texts; the other part is about to write articles and reports. Also, we must make so

Welcome back to my blog! So this time I'm going to tell you about my summer vacations plans. To be honest I almost don't have time to think about vacations. My semestrer don't seen to end. I'm thinking about my articles and test, but, at night or when I'm in the shower and I have a litte time to dream, I close my eyes and see my friends and I in Brazil or Argentina! Betwen this two countries I prefer Brazil, because I want to lern some portuguese, but Argentina is more cheep in comparison so it all depends of money. Anyway there are so many beautiful places to know, wherever the place I would like to go with my friends. I tink that is the most important to me. Another plans that I have for this summer is tavel with my family. We don't know yet where we going to go. One of the options is to travel to Ecuador to visit my grandpa. It wold be great to me, because I have never been in Ecuador before. When I get there I wold like to swim an take the sun, know

Hi, in this post I’m going to tell you some random things. First of all, I have a cat and his name is León. He arrived to my home around a year ago. On the firsts days all my family believed that she was a girl, but the next days we noted that actually she was he! So, we have to change his name to a propped one. After that my cat has grown up so much. I love him, but something he makes me angry because he likes to jump to my bed with dirty paws! D: Another thing that I liked to tell you about is related to my summer plans. This year I learned a lot of interesting things that I want to apply to my own live, for example: in class we learn about the Strategic Planification, it is related to public policies and private corporations, but you can used it in any project you have. Is so weird if I do a FODA analysis to myself? Another thing that I want to tell you is about that I always have felling I’m surrounded by lucky situation. It could be a lot of weird coincidences. Also I ha

Post Graduate Studies

Just like a have tell you before; one I had finished my pregrade programme I going to take magister in Systemic Analysis Applied to Society. But after that I would like to take another courses related to economy, law or public policies. It is so because I want to learn more thing and in order to be a better professional, and take post graduate courses could give me the possibility to help my country to be better; a country with a higher quality in his services. This a topic that affect the life condition of people tremendously! So this is my interest. Also I liked to learn more about to design project, program, plan, and make effectives social interventions. On the other hand I want to know how I can do better investigation. But this knowledge have to be in dialog with other disciplines. We need to include disciplines like TIC. So I didn’t have decided who will be the first course that I’m going to take, but I think it will one of those I already mentioned. I would take it in a c

My future job

Whatever be my future job the most important thing to me is to help people, make a change in their live conditions and to empower them. But I'm not very interested on the particular cases actually I'm addressing to big scale. That's why if it would depend on me, I would like to work on politics. I have a big sense on public service and I want to make an impact in the public policy of my country. However, this isn't the only way to make that. Because of that I'm also interested to work in a NGO or an international organization. On the other hand, I'm very attracted to the academic work, which includes make investigations, write articles, and even be part of an investigation nucleus. It would be great to me as well. Moreover, this kind of jobs are mainly indoors. But this isn't always, because I think I will require to travel from time to time. Furthermore, about the salary I hope to earn enough money to raise at less five children! About the major, I

When second option is the best

So this time I want to tell you about my career. I'm studying social work and I'm on my trird year now, but at the beginning it wasn't my first option. Before I start uni I wanted to study sociology, I was so exited with the idea of understand society and be able to make social analisys, also I was atracted to political science, history and law, even geografy, however, sociology was my first option. In order to enter to my actual university I began to study very hard. I applied the PSU test 2 times, but because of my school average I couldn't enter that career, so I thought in study social work one semester and then ask for a internal change. That was my plan, but I didn't know that this career would be so interesting to me. I started to think this career gave me more opportunities and options, and it's like a great mix about all my interests. About my experience at the moment, I had a very hard time in my second yead because I wasn't very sure abou
