My study programme

Some changes that I think that could be made in my study programme are: the amount of extra subjects that we have, some things about the structure of the university building or some methods of the teachers in their way of education.

Let’s go in order! About some subjects that we have in our curriculum I think that are there only to fill some amount of hours, but are not really important for our career. Like we have to have them to fill the five years we have in journalism. Maybe without them we can have one year less of studies like in other countries (Spain, USA, etc).

 For example we have a subjects called “Enfoques latinoamericanos”, that (yes is very interesting) I don´t think that it is really important for our career, it can be an elective but not a subject, in my opinion.    

In second place, I think that the structure of my university is very nice and make a good environment to study, but there are some things that I don´t like. 

For example the calefaction is very bad, when it is winter is very cold inside the classrooms. Another thing is that we don´t have a place for the ICEI to buy cooked food, we have to go to other parts like “Filosofia” or FACSO. And the last thing is that our library is not so good, but I like it like it is, because at last we can speak with each others, I don´t care if it is not so big or if it don´t have very good technology. 

Some teachers in my opinion are not so good, there are some ones that are teaching us because their position and achievements in their careers but their maybe don´t know very well how to teach. But in general I think that we are lucky because we have good teachers.     

     

Despite all the possible negative things that I can found in my study programme in the university, I’m very happy here and the way it works! I think that I don´t really want to be in any other university more than the one I am.  

Welcome again English Blog

                       Favorite Country:

My favorite country in the world (for now) is Brazil. I was three times in this country and I can´t wait to return. It have so many colors, vegetation and the people is so happy and nice, that the time you spent there is almost magic. 

I really love to eat, and the food in Brazil is amazing! They have a lot of fruits and exotic variety of food. They search to preserve the regional cultures, because of that they have a lot of types of food. (I really like the food from everywhere haha) I don´t really remember the name of the things that I have eaten in Brazil, but I remember it was awesome.

I’m not very sure what city of Brazil I want to visit next. But I know that I will choice a not very touristic place, and hopefully in the coast or near the jungle. 

One of my dreams is to have the opportunity to be part in a Brazilian Carnaval!

Other places I like and want to know are: the coast of Italy and some oriental countries.  

Goodbye English Blog

Today I want to talk about the activities that I´m doing all this semester in the English class, this blog! I think that this way to learn English is very original and funny, but sometimes I fell a little stupid making comments to other people about their blogs jaja.

It is a really good way to learn to write in English, because we are like one time a week making texts with a lot of words. And we try to make it good to the mark and because we don´t want to show a bad post to our classmates. It is very didactic and entertaining.

The Blog help me a lot, because to me is difficult to write in English and with this weekly sessions I´m better, or so I think. And a little part of me is sad about that the “blog´s class” finally end.

About the process in general I liked some post that posted some classmates that are really funny or interesting. Other think that I like is that in the blog I can talk about one theme how I want, it hasn´t a lot of rules like the most written works that normally are in the English classes. 

The food ♥

 

Today I want to speak about the importance of the food in my life. I think that eat a very elemental thing in my life. When I´m hungry I will be very angry still I eat. I like every type of food: salty, from any culture, with spices or without it, fruits, vegetables, meat, simple, produced, sweet (the best) and more. There are only few thing that I don´t like very much, for example: eggplant and the very spicy things. I really prefer the healthy food than fast food.

Now that I live without my parents I´m learning to cook a lot of things. Before I come to Santiago I can´t cook anything because in my family all make very delicious food, so is not necessary that I learn to cook. But now I try to learn a lot of different types of foods to make.

All my family likes to cook and they are like experts in that, except my mom and me. My grandfather is the best cook that I know. Whenever I go to Curico to see my Grandparents, my grandpa makes me gnocchi’s, it is awesome.  

Website

I think that nowadays the websites that write about news are very important because now fast all people don’t buy the newspaper. That is very sad but is one of the consequences the technologies evolution. One site that is very funny and interesting to visited is the http://theclinic.cl/ where are a lot of opportunities about things to see.

The Clinic is a newspaper where the news are written with leftist tendencies, is like a satire of the news that happened and makes humor about the political. The newspaper has a website where are other options then seeing news, but this is independent from the magazine. The other options to see in the site are: poder, Chilean news, webeo, columnas y entrevistas, la calle, mundo al instante, verde and cultura.  

I don’t see this website often; only when I remember that it exists like today. I like this site because is very funny to visit it and help to have other view about the things that happen in the country.  In other side it has a lot of possibilities to see.

Medias

Nowadays the news are basically about crime or entertainment, things that attract people but don´t inform well about what really happens in Chile. That is very bad because we are living in a lie.

If we talk about the international news it is awful. I think that the most Chileans don´t know or only know a little about other countries cultures and the important things that happens there.

But it happens in a lot of countries like the USA, where they have only general information about other countries.  It is like the roommate of Chimmanda Adichie that thinks that Nigeria is a very underdeveloped country where the people don´t have a possible to emerge and have bad education.  

It is very important to know about other cultures and what happen in other countries, because we don’t have to live in a bubble, and we can take for our own country development the example of other countriesso that we don´t make the same mistakes.

Photo

My favorite photo is the one where I’m in Florence with two friends; Rosario and Florencia. This is a very important photo for me because after this travel I went to live in another city. Not more in Viña del Mar where my friends for all my life were. I traveled with three friends (Catalina, Rosario and Florencia) around Europe because an exchange from the school to Germany. After the travel I went to live in Puerto Varas, where all is gone we new. I really miss my old friends.

I think this photo is beautiful and very funny. It has an awesome background, with the Arno lake and a lot of colorful houses. We are all very happy and laughing. After this photo we went to an ice cream store that is in front of the place where we took the photo. I don’t really remember the flavor of the ice cream that I ate but I remind that it was very expensive.
