Talking about your Blogging Experience

Imagen
I think that the use of the blogs are very fun, first one because you start using a computer and that’s makes the class interesting immediately, the fact that you leave the notebook for one class is very comforting. Then, other thing that it’s fun is that we can read the blogs of our classmates, so in the last 2 semesters I can know so much things that I didn’t know previously about they haha, and you can comment and share experiences. One thing that I don’t like too much it´s that sometimes we have to talk about specific things that maybe you don’t know or you haven’t decided yet, so I would like that we could have more options in the themes to talk. As I said in another post, I really enjoyed writing about my tastes, but I think it's boring write on the blogs about university and subjects because the blog, besides helping us to learn, can be a fun tool. During this semester I had the difficult of having my laptop broken, so I had to borrow a computer to do the posts, since I did...

Improving the learning experience

In my opinion, the experience in the English class this semester has been very constructive, dynamic and interesting because it's a innovate form to learn English, the participative class is something new to me because the past semesters was too monotonous. Since from my first class of English on the school to the last class of the same subject, I learned with the traditional form, reading and listening, but the teacher never tried to teach to us with other method of teaching, so the experience of learning with the use of the blog and the participation of the students really liked to me.  Personally, I like to write in English more than speak in this language, because I’m a very shy and nervous person and is very easy for me to forget all that I have to say, but when I write that doesn’t happen to me. On this semester the teacher Patricio made me speak in public to improve my pronunciation and my English in general, and it also helped to me to lose my shyness This experience ...

Post graduates studies

Hi everyone ! On this occasion I am going to talk about the postgraduate courses that I would like to take in the future , If I were to make them haha. Well, as you now, my undergraduate studies will be in Public Administration at the Universidad de Chile, the postgraduates courses that I would like to take will be related to the area, as a result, courses in Political Science and Public Policies.

I would like to have subjects related to, for example, political theory, health policies, economic policies and education policies. I would like to take these courses in Chile, to make the Master in Political Science at University of Chile, and abroad, in England or United States, to make a Master and a PhD in Public Policies, I prefer the second option (study at the US), because they h...

My dream job

Imagen
Hello, today I’m going to talk about my dream jobs and how I was frustrated and throw out these ideas. When I was a little girl, every time I saw de sky looking for shooting stars, meteorites, constellations, etc . I dreamed to become an Astronaut like Valentina Tereshkova, the first cosmonaut woman, because I was in love with the stars, the planets and the big universe, and I dreamed to fly in the sky and discover other galaxies.  Later, my dream changed and I wanted to be a veterinarian, I live all my life with different animals in my farm, I have horses, dogs, chickens, goats, cows, etc. I love them so much, they’re my babies, and I wanted to help all the animals of the world, fundamentally the farm animals, because they suffer all kind of abuse for the ignorance and cruelty of some people. The veterinary career has subjects like biology and chemistry and on the school I had very bad marks on these subjects :( for that I throw out my dream job. Honest...

Free Topic: The Aculeo Lagoon

Imagen
I lived in the Aculeo in the Paine commune since i was 10 years old, but during all my life I visited my family in every weekend and holidays, so I know place completely. The Lagoon of Aculeo is a natural deposit of water that in the past lodge different species of plants and animals, but that now is affected by a drought that threatens to affect its existence. Since I have memory the Lagoon has been deprived because all its coast is completely full of campings and houses by what there's restricted the step of the rest of the villagers.  This has influenced the drought of the Lagoon because the same persons who live in there are those who turn the water away for their own use and contaminate it therefore the Lagoon is losing more and more depth, in addition to climatic factors like the decrease of the rains, losing approximately one meter per year up to coming to 80 centimetres that it has now. For the drought many of the animals they have disappeared or hav...

I saw in live artist like The Jonas Brothers, Illapu, Los Tres, All Time Low, BTS, SHINee, Super Junior, etc, etc, but the most important concerts for me was “The Music Bank”, a korean music festival, and “Beautiful in Santiago” of the boyband Monsta X.

This was my first concert of K-Pop and was a fantastic festival, because me and my friend had good entries and we saw our favourite boy band (Super Junior) a very short distance.  The other important concert for me was the last one, the “Beautiful in Santiago” was 14th September 2017 in Movistar Arena, of one of my favourite korean bo...

Japan is an insular country on the east of Asia in the Pacific Ocean. The characters that conform "Japan" ( 日本 ) means "the origin of sun" and it's the reason of called Japan the "land of rising sun". This country has 2677 years of history, and it’s the principal reason of it’s a very interesting destination to me, because it has a very rich culture. The traditional music, dances and art are amazing, and the theatre like Nō, Kabuki and Bunraku too. Religions are very important for the Japanese culture, being Buddhism and Shinto the most popular, and these have many beautiful temples throughout the country. Kyoto is a great place for see sanctuaries, palaces and magnificent gardens and I really want to visit this place because are too mystic and full of history. A fascinating landscape of Kyoto. Further the traditional culture, I love the popular culture. I really like reading manga, watching anime and listening to J-rock and J-Pop. Yes,...

A photograph I like

Imagen
This picture was taken in 2014, when I finished my last year in the school and a photographer took us this photograph after took the picture of the graduation. I like it so much because my best friends Tato, Dago, Nico, Pancho, Dennise and I appear in the picture, and another ex-friend but we don’t talk anymore for a lot of problems.  This is one of many photos that we have together but this is the one that more I like, I even have it in the wall of my room because it’s the only photo where we look “decent” LOL. Although we look rude or bad, our friendship has lasted for many years and we love us so much and this photo represent this to me. I hope they be my friends for a long time, until we become old, because they are some of the most important people in my life.

My Favorite Festivity: Halloween

Imagen
Today I’m going to talk about Halloween, my favorite festivity. This celebration it’s also called “the night of witches” and the rumors says it begins at 3000 years ago for the Celtics in the center and north of Europe with a religious character. After, this tradition got a happy and festive character with the immigration of catholic Irish to United Estates of America.  Halloween is celebrated at October 31 and is associated with death, witches and ghosts, but currently this festivity it's an occasion for fun to the kids, because they can  put on a costume and ask for candies on theirs neighborhood. I love this festivity, because my friends and I make a costume party every Halloween and in this party we dance all night, we eat a lot and we have a great time, therefore Halloween is a great celebration for us. 

My favorite piece of Technology

Imagen
Currently, the technology is very important for the society, because it's very useful day by day. Initially the technology has been used to resolve problems and do investigations, but now it is also used to do the life easier. During all my life I have been related to the technology, because when I was a little girl I had access to T.V and the videogames of my uncle, but now the most important technological object for me is my cellphone. When I was 7 years old I had my first cellphone and I loved it because it had the best game of my life: Snake, but I’m very absent-minded and I lost it very soon and also my other cellphones. At present  I use my cellphone for a lot of things, for example: I listen to music, I read books, I watch videos, I chat with my friends, etc… all on my cellphone. Although my cell phone is careless, has a broken screen and it’s old, it’s still very useful for me and if I lost it I would be very sad because the cell phones are very expensive and I don...

Why did you choose your career?

When I was a little girl, I dreamed to become an Astronaut because I was in love with the stars, the planets and the big universe, and I dreamed to fly in the sky and discover other galaxies. Later, my dream changed and I wanted to be a veterinarian, I live all my life with different animals in my farm, I love them so much and I’d want to help all the animals of the world. When I grew up and I began the high school I realized the maths and the sciences where not for me, but the History came my favourite subject. When I ended the high school my options for career in the University where laws and public administration, but I chose the last one because I thought I had public service vocation. For the moment I love the career.

First Excercise: Welcome!

Hi! My name is Gianina Vásquez Riquelme, I'm 20 years old and I'm student of Public Administration at University of Chile. I like English because this language is universal and it's useful for me because I'm interested in taking a foreign exchange program. I usually listen to music in English, but I also listen to music in other languages. I like different styles of music...very different, and I enjoy artists like Beyoncé, The Strokes, Beirut, The Animals, etcetera. I always try to watch movies in the original language with subtitles,the dubbing dislike me because it makes to lose the original essence of the movie.  I think the  most difficult aspect of English is the conjugation in the different tenses and the pronunciation, but I try to learn this in this semester with the teacher Rosa, also I try to read books in English and watch movies without subtitles.
