English Language Challenges

Hi dear readers, I'm so happy because this is the last blog, so what's about my experience learning English at university? well, a part of me likes that in this career the English class is obligatory, I know it's important to know other languages, it's very useful in different occasions, but I have suffered a bit with this class because I don't like the schedule in which it is given, I live far away so I arrive very late to my house. 

I consider that the blog it's a very good way to practice your abilities, because you have two challenges, transmit an idea and do it in other language. 

I think the aspect I'm worse at is talking, I am very forgetful, so I find it hard to express what I want to say. I hope on this summer vacations I could practice speak with someone in a real situation. Once in the street an Asian person ask me something in English and I didn't understood anything! 

Lately I have been using an application called Duolingo, I practice in this platform some times a week. I tried lo learn french in this application but this didn't work, maybe because I don't know nothing of french, unlike English, with which I am more familiar. 

Precisely in the last time I have needed to use my English skills, I have been searching information about posgraduate abroad so I have been practicing my reading skills, I am also applying for a biennial in Scotland and I have to write an essay in English too.

Changes to my study programme

Hello to all, today's blog it's about what I will like to change in my career.
To start, I think it's a big mistake that in this university the careers related with arts are located in different places, music, dance, theater and art should be together. I think that art is a transversal knowledge between one discipline and another.

It is known by all that in this faculty there are not many resources, you can see this precariousness in the workshops and the places that you can work.
Particularly, I know the case of the textile workshop. Here there isn't many space to all the students can work during class, so, most of the students end up working at home and this is not the idea for what a workshop means according to me, the workshops are made by the collective experience.

Another thing that I think is necessary (and I realize now that I'm finishing the career) It is that we don't have any practice, neither a serious subject that prepares you for what means to go out into the real world. I must admit that now that I'm finishing the career I'm a little scared.

One thing I like of the career in this university it's that you can choose what you want lo learn (in the practical subjects) so, you aren't obligated to learn things that you aren't interest in. For example, when you tell people that you study art, the majority think that you paint and not! this is the biggest prejudice around this career.


That's all, thank you for reading me

summer holidays

Hi dear readers, today I'm going to write about the summer holidays! 

Sadly, this year I haven't planned anything special, because I haven't been able to save money, but still I have thought about some small trips that do not requires too much money. 

Two years ago I traveled to a place called "Altos del Lircay", it is a nature reserve located in Talca province and it is the place more beautiful a have ever seen in Chile. 

To get there you have to do a trekking of six hours approximately in climb, it is very hard but it's totally worth it. When I get there, I could not believe the landscape that I have in front of my eyes, an amazing view of the Andes mountains (and so close to Santiago).

That time I could not go through the entire reservation, because we were not prepared for so many days, you requires at least one week to see all the place and we went for only four days. 

There is a place in the reserve called "Enladrillado" and  it is rumored to be an alien airstrip, from there you have a 360° view, and you can see volcanoes, rivers and various valleys. It is a big esplanade of rocks, so I think if aliens want to arrive here it is the perfect place to do it. 

I hope that this time I can go all over the place, I'm going to train a little bit before going because it's a hard trekking and my physical state is not the best in these moments. 

So, I totally recommend you this place because it is incredibly beautiful and it is a very cheap trip, near to the capital.
