English language challenges

Learning english in the university was way more entertaining than it was in school. the high amount of participation of every member of the class was really interesting, even though it was kinda forced. I believe that the classes are more interesting, funny and communicative in general, so I'm looking forward to have english another semester, but not online. The blogs were interesting at first, the topics that we had to write about were easier to extend in terms of words, but after some time it became more like an extra weight that wasn't that necessary, I get the idea of practicing writing, expand our vocabulary and exercising what is teached in classes, but it gets to a point were it's boring.

My pronunciation is not bad, but is not as good as I would like it to be, so that's what I'll try to improve in the future. The only way that I'm practicing my pronunciation right now is by listening and singing songs in english, and I don't know how much it really helps, maybe I'll start conversating with some people that have an english level similar to what I have. 

The only way that I'm using english these days is when playing videogames, I try to put the dialogs, audio, and text in english and find word that I don't understand or that I don't even know they existed. The problem is that during the semester there aren't many spaces where I get to play without concerning about texts, classes or tests, so I hope that after the semester ends I get more time to play again.

My holiday in Altos de Lircay

Image
On January of 2018, I went to the National Reserve Altos de Lircay, which is located 66 Km to the west of Talca, we stayed for two weeks in a camping that is inside the reserve called camping Antahuara. I went with my two parents, my brother and my cousin, we went hiking in four different hiking trails: Antumahuida, Retrincura, Laguna del Alto and El Enladrillado. It was the best because I rarely get to spend my holidays with my cousin and I really enjoy talking, playing and being with him in general, so those two weeks were a really good time in general. The El Enladrillado hiking trail was, in my opinion, the best of al the things that we did. It was very difficult in some parts, and the dirt you had to walk was often so slippery and the risk of falling was something that nobody really liked. But at the end, when we got to the end of the trail, the place called El Enladrillado was awesome, and the view was also amazing as you can see it in the picture, but getting there by yourself i

What's like to study social work?

Image
I’m studying social work in the Social Science Faculty of Universidad de Chile. At first I wasn’t sure if I realy wanted to study this career because I had a different idea of what the carrer was like, and also it was my second option so I was a little disappointed that I couldn’t study what I really wanted. But after a few months I started liking the carrer more and more until the point that I’m in right now where I can say that it’s way better than I expected. I’m noy really a fan of the online format, it makes it harder to interact with my classmates and until late into the second semester I didn’t really talk with anyone. Mainly because I’m not the type of person that talks a lot, so the fact that I couldn’t see my classmates in person was a little annoying, but after some time I started talking with some of my classmates and it all turned out fine. Also, I don’t dislike online classes as much as some of my classmates do, it’s harder in a way, but the fact that you can learn at

A country I'd like to visit

Image
I'd like to visit Canada, because my aunt went to live there like four years ago and I've wanted to visit her and my little cousin that are living in Montreal. I don't really like the weather in Canada, but as long as it's not winter when I visit them it should be ok. I know Canada is a country that has two languages, english and french. I also know that winter is so cold in Canada, and the streets usually get so filled with snow that people sometimes can't leave their houses or use their car. If I visit Canada I'll like to spend time with my aunt and cousin more than searching for things to do, if they want me to see some place or want to go to a park, I'll probably just follow them. If I get the chance. But I'd really like to visit a park since I believe there are some pretty amazing ones. And also, I'd like to go outside and just walk some time when it's dark, I know it can be dangerous because I don't know the place, but I'd really en
