 Post 6: English language challenges

Hello classmates and teacher! How are all your Christmas plans going? Have you already decorated your house with candy canes or bites? Haha, I have, this year I will enjoy Christmas early.

Well, now yes, in this blog I will make a small reflection of what has been my experience with English in my university career and also, projecting me to other aspects of my life. I must say that before I entered the university I didn't know that I would also have English, and I thought that it wouldn't be necessary, but when I entered I realized the opposite. 

I can say that learning more advanced English in the university has been very useful, even being in a pandemic, the classes have also helped me to have a better understanding of English, whether it's in movies, books, or even comics. In addition, another tool that has allowed me to develop this knowledge is the use of blogs (thanks to which they are reading me hehe). It has helped me to improve my grammar and also writing skills in English. However, I have always believed that every day we can improve! So a pending challenge for me is to improve my interaction with other native English speakers. To do this, I will challenge myself to find new friends from other English-speaking countries and meet them! To expand my horizons, and also to improve my interaction with English speakers. I consider this important, because English is without a doubt a tool that will serve me throughout my life, and is even present every day, even outside of class. For example, I love reading comics or watching movies that have not been translated yet, and for that it is very useful to know English in order to understand. So it's something very important. Well, that's all, see you soon!

    The same thing happens to me, I appreciate having English classes because now I can read comics and watch series in English without having to focus on the subtitles hahaha

    Hi Sebastian, the Christmas spirit hasn't come to my house yet, but I hope it will soon.
    And about the challenge of making English-speaking friends, I think it's a great idea to improve your English! I wish I had the confidence to do something like that online. Because it's online, isn't it?

Blog 5: A photograph I like

  Blog 5: A photograph I like Hello everyone! How have you been? Tell me in the comments. Well, today the blog will be about a very special photograph. I remember this picture with a lot of nostalgia, it was taken by my dad on October 17, 2007.  Yes, more than 13 years ago, it seems unreal how fast time passes and we don't realize it. In this picture we were with all my family in my maternal grandparents' house, located in the commune of La Florida. In the picture I am playing with my cousin Daniela, daughter of my uncle Mauricio (we call him Mauri). We were playing with some paper dolls that she had, they also included paper clothes to dress them up. It was a lot of fun! I really like this picture, because in my childhood I remember being very happy because I always played with my cousin and shared a lot with her, and this picture represents it perfectly. Today I don't share much with her, but good memories with our loved ones are forever, and they are perfectly immortal

Post 2: My best holidays

Post 2: My best holidays Hello everyone! How are you? This week's blog will be about my best vacations and anecdotes of the summer. The vacations I had at the beginning of the year were by far the best in a long time.  They started on February 20th, which was the day we took a long trip from Santiago to Villarrica. We went with my family (mom, dad, and my older sister) by car, so you can imagine the length of the trip. In total it took 12 hours to get there, but we decided to divide our trip in two parts. The first part was from Santiago to Talca, and then finally  from Talca to Villarrica. We arrived on February 21, to a cozy cabin near the big lake. I remember them as the best holidays because it was the first time we were going to the south of Chile, so it would be our first experience in a different place, besides the thickness of the forests, the great volcano and the food, were simply unbeatable. We stayed for about 8 days, which were unforgettable, especially the days we wen

Post 4: My future job

 Post 4: My future job Hello everyone again! Welcome to my blog, how are you? The truth is that I have been a little tired this week and discouraged, but luckily it is already Thursday and we are close to the weekend. Anyway, the topic I'll talk about today is about jobs. Honestly, when I was a kid, I could never imagine myself with any stable job, since at that time I didn't know myself enough and I didn't know what I wanted, but two years ago I finally found a job I would like to have; character designer. The character designer is the one who has the job of creating fictional entities (i mean, characters) for certain projects, such as animation projects, toys, movies, among others. I would love to have that job, because it is what I have been dreaming of this last time, to be able to create my characters and see them on screens or even in figures. I find it extremely fun and I challenge my creativity constantly. Some basic skills I need are to know how to conceptualize, m
