Post 10: English Challenges

Hi! Today is my last blog session and I have to talk about this English subject.

First I have to say that I appreciate to learn new languages at University, because I believe that University has to serve to learn new things, not only things about our careers and languages are one of the other knowledge that University have to bring to us .

Also, on my career Anthropology I always have to read papers in English for Prehistory or Archeology, because always the new studies or theories come in English, so learn it is really useful for that.

About this subject I think that was a good subject, but I think that maybe we could learn more vocabulary about our careers. Anyway I believe that this subject is good because prepare us to understand English, to talk in English and also to write, because of that I considerate very important the blog, we can express our ideas or things that we have done, because we are prepared to talk or write in past of future.

I practice my English watching movies in English without subtitles and listening to music in English and looking for the lyrics. Anyway I think that for learn English we have to be systematic for always learn more and more.

I hope in the future could travel to other countries and I think that know English is really important for that, for communicate with people that don't speak the same language because English is like the universal language. 

Post 9: 2015 Reflections Have you had a good year?

Hello! Today I have to talk about my year.
First, I have to say that this year is ending very fast, maybe I think that because I did a lot oh things this year. Despite this, I think that this has been a very good year  but also a very tiring year.
In the University, this has been a quiet year, I think that I will pass all my subjects.

Also, I participate in a organization with some of my neighbors, this year we began our free football school, this has been a great challenge for us, because it involves much constant effort, we do the classes two times a week. This has not been easy, but is gratifying see the progress of children and see their smiling faces.

This year also has been a year of new learnings, I learnt to do "serigrafía", so now I'm participating on a brigade. Also I'm doing a class to learn "mapuzungun".

Also, this year I could travel a lot to watch Colo-Colo matches, I traveled to Antofagasta, Talcahuano (two times) and Valparaiso. I hope that Colo-Colo would the champion this year.
This year I could go to many concerts like Kevin Johansen, Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, Jorge Drexler, Damas Gratis and more.

This has been a really good year, I did a lot of things but all with support of my boyfriend and family.
And I can say that all the things that I did during the year made me very happy.

Post 8: Summer Plans

Hi! Today I have to talk about my summer plans. 

Really I am not sure what I will do this summer, but I know that I would like to rest a lot, because this year has been really tiresome, so I have not had much time to rest. Also, this holiday will begin later than usual so I am waiting for it eagerly. My holidays will begin after Christmas because I have a mandatory exam a day before. I will celebrate Christmas with my family and the New Year with my boyfriend, we will go to the beach to celebrate.

In January I think that I would travel with my mother and my dad, maybe we will go to Peru, because I have family there so we could stay a couple of weeks there.

In February I would like to travel and spend time with my boyfriend and friends. Maybe me and my boyfriend will go to the south because he has family there and he wants me to meet them.

Also I would like to do activities here in Santiago, things like go to the cinema or Theatre, go to the swimming pool, go to the beach and do all the things that I can´t do because I have to study. Because of that I won't work or study in summer, I believe that holidays are made to rest and travel, if you can.

Finally, when summer ends I will celebrate my birthday, first with my family and at night with my friends. I expect to finish my summer in the best way.

Post 7: My Best Friend

Hi! Today I have to talk about my best friend, well, first I have to say that I'm very lucky because I have two bests friends that have been close to me for so many years.
One of my bests friends calls Macarena, I met her at school when we were four years old, so we have been friends for like sixteen years. I consider she like on of my bests friends because we have been always together, in good and bad moments she is like my sister, I can trust in her and I know that she will be always with me. Also, now she lives very close to my house, so when I need to talk with someone I know that she is there for me.I think that the best memory that I have with her I when we were to Brazil, It was very nice to know a new place with her.
When I changed from school I met Constanza, my other best friend. We have been friends for five years, but I feel that we met from all ours lifes. She is very similar to me, we listen the same music so we always go to concerts together. I think that the best memory with her were when we went to the south.
I'm very happy to have two bests friends in my like, I know that I can trust in them and they can trust on me.

Post 6: How Green are you?

Hi! Today I have to talk about environment and how protect it. First I have to say that I think that this is a very important topic today because global warming progress so we have to do something for stop it.

I think that the best place to learn environmentally friendly practices is first our homes, is important teach our kids since they are little to protect the environment. After that I believe that the school is very important, because is a place in which we stay a lot of time.
In my case I have incorporated recycling in my habits, in my house we separate the garbaje and we do fertilizer with organic waste. Also, on mi house we prefer use reusable bags when we go to buy something.

I don't participate in any eco-organization because I don't have time, but in the future I would like to participate in a community garden near to my house.

For reduce the carbon footprint is important to use clean energy and try to dont't use the car when is not necessary. In my case, when I have to go to a near place a prefer use my bike.
To end, I think that it's very necessary create public politics for protect out environment like recycling projects in all us neighborhoods. Also is important to build bikeways to promote a healthy lifestyle that also help the environment.

Post 5: My Future Job

Hi, today I have to talk about my future job. Could be weird, but I dream with a job that has not connected with Anthopology. I would like to work in something independent in which nobody say to me what I have to do. Also, I know that I want to work in my house, maybe doing something with my hands, like clothes, books, or even cooking something. I'm always searching workshops to learn new things. 
I would like to have an little business with my parents or friends, because I believe that the better is always work with dear people, with who exsist confidence and affection, so this way work would be something fun. My dream is someday have a place with my mother in which we can do things and algo sell it, because my mom weaves really beautiful things.

In case that I have to work on Anthropology, It has to be something outdoor, because I hate close spaces. Also, I would like a job in which I could travel a lot and visit different and far countries, knowing new and different people and cultures, because I like to interact with people and learn new thing of themselves. I think that te best way to learn something is traveling and living new experiences so what better than work on this.

Post 4: Election Day

Hi! Today I have to talk about elections.
First I have to say that I've never vote for elections, because I think that vote has not importance, because always wins the same people. Especially here in Chile, because we have the "Sistema Binominal" so always wins someone from de two big coalitions. For me to vote is participate on this farce in which they want to convince us that we are free for choose who govern us.
I think that is more important participate in ours spaces like universities or in ours neighborhoods than only with the elections in which we participate only once a year (or less).
So because of that I won't vote in the next presidential election.
About the electoral campaigns I think that are a lie, because politicians say always the same things but the never do changes that benefit the people who need. Also, they fill the streets with advertising that after transform in trash.
I've never consider becoming a politician, because I prefer do changes in my everyday, in an horizontal way.
Finally, I think that a politician has to be an outgoing person and has to be confidence in himself.
