English language challenges

This year I took classes of english in my university. Those have been very interesting and they increase my vocabulary and the way of expression. I believe that the challenges of this language is think in english, because you have know every word, every adjective, verb or noun, but if you do not know how to use it in a correct form at the time of speaking you will not communicate with other person. Also, the most important thing to try learn english is constantly be practicing because if you do not do it, you will not get a better pronunciation and any fluency. However, I think It is hard to do because every day we talk in spanish, but nowadays our society is including more words in our daily language through the mass media and there are more programs to learn it the schools and other types of educational establishment.
In this way, I believe that this language is very useful to read relevant articles or books and even when you have to travel to another country, but if you do not like it, you will feel that the dialogues are hard. For that, the point of importance is principally the motivation and volition that you have to meet and understand this language. In this sense, you have to watch videos, film, listen music, try to talk with friends in english. Although this process would be difficult and very hateful, I think that in the future will be very easy speak with people of other countries.

Hobbies



Here is my video of my hobbies. So sorry.

Funny situations

I have to write about funny situations that have lived. In this moment I do not remember this type of situations because I am a person with a really bad memory. But I think with some friends I have very good moments. With an old friend, that she still my friend, we went to a restaurant to eat a lot of, especially churrasco. We have a passion for the food and we like a lot the fast food. When we arrives at it we ask for the biggest churrasco and we bought it. The other people, cookers and the waiter looked us very amazed because we were just to little girls with an enormous plate and french fries and the others were lorry or taxi drivers but all of them were men. We felt proud and shamed at the same time.
At other moment, I had to go a birthday party and my friend drunk a lot and at 12 o'clock he felt very dizzy. We tried to help him and carry him to the bathroom. With another friend were with at this place and I had to piss, but my drunk friend was using the bathroom. With all the force, because I was so desperate, I carry him away with another friend and I finally had it. But the problem was that my friend throw the bath curtain and it broke. We laugh a lot but we tried to fix it in a few hours.

Reflections

In those reflections, I want to describe a little how I survive to his year and tell you more about the differents experiences. This year I started my first year at university where I study sociology. It was a hard year, not only for the change from school from university, but for every situation that I live in the career and with my family. I think that this year I have learnt to be more patient, comprehensive and more positive. I met a lot of great people and friends. I leant to work in group to my homeworks and help to other classmates. I had a lot of problems with my mates because the majority of them have serious situations and I tried to be useful in those cases.
Also I knew more things about my career and I believe that it is very attractive to me. I want to finish and see how I have got more knowledge in every area of this life. At the first days of university I felt very lost and I had the sensation that I would not pass this year, but you see, I am still with life here writing a post in english.
I have experimented a change and a progress and I think that I am really growing up. I hope that the next year will be better in every sense and I want to be a better person to my family, friends and for the society, I mean to make a better place this world with a little change in myself.

My passion



When I was eight years olds my parents gave a violin like a gift to my birthday. In this time I did not want to play because it sounded like a cat screaming, but one day a friend of my mother said to her that there was a music teacher and he played the violin. Then, I took classes of music with him when I was nine for two years and finally I met the real sound of the violin with a lot of practice. This instrument was not my favorite, but I learnt to love it.
With the pass of time, I left the classes but some years I returned to take it. I think that my perception of time is changing meanwhile I am growing and I do more things like other years, so I have decided that the next year I will be in classes of violin again. I hope that never again left it for more, because I would be a really good violinist separate of my university career.
In this way, this instrument gave not just more knowledge about music, but it opened my mind to another world of things and a lot of new people that I met. Also, I met one of my best friend that plays the violin too, but now she is a professional in this. I will always be very grateful for the privilege of play the violin, an instrument too beautiful for this world.

How green are you?

I believe that this topic is important, because the environment is more weakly every day for the carelessness,  and this is so bad to our city and people who live in this country and the changes of the weather that carry on.  Personally, I think that I am not a green person. I do not recycle, plant trees and those things that ecological people do, but I try to do not take out the garbage on anywhere, constantly I use the public transport and I try to take care about the few green areas in this city.
I have to mention that in this country there are no strong policies about to care the environment and there is no a collective conscience about this topic. It is not a speaking theme on  mass media or in our daily conversations. In the other hand, the state would be more worried about not just getting a strong advertising, but forbidden the abuses done by the industries of any category. I remember the Caimanes situation, a few months ago in the north of the country. I felt so angry for the violence to the settlers and how the state is so permissive with these types of conflicts. Also projects like Hidroaysén and Punta de Choros, and others that already are in work like Talcahuano, Lirquén, just for name a few.

I just beg that this situation would be different and that it starts from me to contribute a part of this.
