Post 8: English Language Challenges

Hello everyone! Welcome to my blog.

Today I'll write about English language challenges.

Well, about my experience learning English at university, I have to say that it has been good, mainly because we were able to practice a lot, it was much more dynamic and educative. For example, with blogs, I could develop better my writing skills and vocabulary. I never really thought it would help me learn so much, in fact, the first time I had to write a blog, I thought I wouldn't be able to write a paragraph, but now I'm so glad because I can write more than I had thought.

But obviously, I need to improve aspects of my English, such as speaking, because it takes me a while to think of what to say when I'm in a conversation, and that makes for less fluidity in the dialogue. Another aspect that I need to improve is grammar because I think it's a factor that influences my lack of fluency in conversations. At this time, I haven't thought about how I'm going to improve my English, but I would like to take classes to continue improving it.

Finally, I have to admit that I don't use English very much outside of class, but I also have to say that the little that I use it is to watch movies and to listen to music in English. So, what I have learned in this course has helped me to understand better the movies I watch and the music I listen to. That has motivated me to continue watching movies in English, which are very useful to improve my vocabulary.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read this post :)

Post 2: The best holidays

Hello everyone! Welcome to my blog. Today I'll write about my best holiday. First I have to say that maybe this holiday is not the best, and not the most amazing either but I remember them with a lot of affection because it was a travel that we won with my high school classmates. The trip that we won was to Torres del Paine, and as we were in Punta Arenas, we were close to our destination. This holiday was at the end of 2015, and it lasted 4 or 5 days (I don't remember exactly). In those days, with my classmates, we hiked and saw beautiful landscapes such as glacier Grey, lake Pehue, and Salto Grande. We were also able to see incredible wildlife such as huemul, condors, guanacos, and foxes. And apart from that, we saw rock art, and also we visited the Milodon cave. It was a modest holiday, but we enjoyed it so much because we had never traveled together before. We always remember the anecdotes that happened to us, as one of our partners who needed hospitalization, but above all...

Post 7: Changes to my Study Programme

Hello everyone! Welcome to my blog. Today I'll write about changes to my study programme. First of all, I have to say that I study Theory and History of Art, and I really like my study programme. I like the curriculum and the teaching methods. But if I had to make changes to my study programme, the first one that comes to my mind is to include practical subjects in my career because, in my opinion, it would be very nourishing for our formation. For example, if we learned a few art techniques such as drawing, sculpture, or painting, we would have a much better understanding of the procedures, the artistic disciplines, and the position of the artist, and, in that way, we could make a much more complete analysis about artworks. Apart from that, I would include a new teaching method, like practical teaching, because I think that studying with physical artworks would be good, specifically to study topics like conservation, collections, and even the curatorship...

Post 4: My Bucket List

Hello everyone! Welcome to my blog. Today I'll write about my bucket list. Speak about this is a little difficult for me because I've to confess that I've never made a bucket list indeed, I've never thought much about it, although many times I've been recommended to do it. Anyway, I think that it's a great way to have clarity about my goals so I can make them happen, so I just thought of one. Well, on my bucket list, I would include activities about my personal development like learning sewing, ceramics, and other languages; be more an understanding person, and get out of my comfort zone. Apart from that, I would like to travel around the world, appreciate nature, have my vegetable garden and complete my familiar tree with my ancestors. I would love to travel around the world with my loved ones, but I think this activity is a bit more difficult to achieve, because I've to have time and money, and besides that, I've to speak more languages apart from my...
