English IV Blog

My experience learning English has been really good so far, I have learned a lot of things in English classes during this year, but I know is not enough, there is a bunch of aspect of my English that have to be improved. In the first place, the reading, this semester the teachers have assigned us a lot of texts in English, this is not really a problem, I can understand those texts, the real problem is the fact that read those texts takes me a lot of time, a text that normally would take an hour, takes me 2 hours, even more and, when you have a bunch of texts that you have to read for the next week because you have an important test, time is gold and you can not lose it.  The way I have planned to improve this is not so clear, but I think if I expose myself to more texts in English, my reading ability will improve enough to read faster, maybe not enough as it would be read in Spanish, but enough to not lose too much time. In the second place, the writing, I have noticed dur...

Our study programme has faced deep changes in the last several years, those changes have been made concernig quality and progress, but there are still a lot of problems  and, it seems that the solutions to those problems are far from the last changes mades. In first place, an authenthic change has to be made to the curriculum, there are some classes that seem useful on papper, but in reality they are completely useless, some older students recognize that and they say to the new ones that those classes are an authentic waste of time. So, what can we do to solve it? Removing those useless classes out of the curriculum, I'm completely sure that no one will miss them. In second place, I think that actually every study programme from Chile has this issue, they are very long, a major that can be perfectely completed it in 3 years, is done in 5 or even 6 years if you dare to fail just one lecture. This is completely wrong, it make us waste time on an education facility while we...

What is my opinion about tattoos? Unlike other people, I love tattoos, I have to admit that at first I was not atracted to the tattoos, but the time has passed, and a lot of friends have tattoos, so I think that influenced on my thoughts. I think tattoos make a person look interesting and open-minded, right now I don't have tattoos, but I will definetely have one in a near future, actually one of my dreams is to end with both arms full of tattoos. Unlike other people, I don't think the tattoos should be something significant, something with a strong meaning in your life, I think the tattoos should be something that you like and make you feel comfortable. What is my opinion about legalizing marijuana and other drugs? In a dogmatic sense, I think all drugs should be legalized, no one should forbid you the use of any substance, because after all we are adults, and we have a developed sense of responsability, I don't need a politician that tell me what is right and not ri...

I have a strange relation with sports, although I have practice a lot of sports throughout my life, I have to admit that in none of those sports I have been a really good player. There are some sports that I like watch it on Television more than practice it and others that I like to practice it more than watch it on TV. About the sports that I like to watch on TV, the one that I tend to watch more is soccer (Universidad de Chile <3), but besides this one, there are other that I like to watch too, like basketball, because my rommate love Nba, and mixed martial arts. I would really to practice the last one, but I don't dare because it's to rough and with my luck, is guaranteed that I will get injured About the sports that I like to practice, when I was a teenager I used to pratice tennis, I loved that sports, it bring me a lot of friends and good experiences, actually in the summer sometimes I  challenge some friends and play some matches, not with the regularity that...
