English Language Challenges

Imagen
  Hello everyone, how are you? As I said before I have studied geography since 2020 online, currently the university has organized activities to perform in person but not 100%. In this case I am going to talk about my experience with the English subject that has also been all virtual, personally I find it very difficult the language, especially when I have to speak, being honest I would have really liked to have taken this subject in person to practice better and learn from the mistakes that are made in practice. The blog is an interesting dynamic that helps the students to improve their grammar and learn new words, conjugations, etc.  In my case, as I have difficulties with English, I need to improve my pronunciation and learn verbs, nouns, etc. to be able to formulate more sentences and increase my vocabulary in English. I have been recommended to watch movies in English to help develop my listening skills, listening to music is also a very useful tool. There are also apps t...

Changes to my study programme

Imagen
  Since the pandemic started, I have been studying online and I would like to have the opportunity to have 100% face-to-face classes. I think that the changes that should be made in the Geography program is that the evaluations aren’t all during the same weeks because it generates a greater academic pressure and stress, I would also like the university to facilitate the teachers with materials so that the virtual classes are more dynamic, for example, my younger brother's teachers have tablets where they can draw with a virtual pencil and explain the subject better. I also believe that there should be a greater organization in the faculty to implement face-to-face classes, especially when the Metropolitan Region is in phase 3 and 4, are unique opportunities that we are presented to resume university life because coronavirus cases increase from one moment to another, I also believe that for students it would help us a lot to go to the faculty to do group work, use the study rooms ...

Time travel to the future

Imagen
  Honestly, thinking about the future or knowing what will happen is something that causes me a lot of anxiety, but if I can travel to the future I would like to go to the exact moment when I am graduating, and why? Because I would like to see my reaction after years of study and a lot of sacrifice, to see how I become a geographer. Maybe many people would like to travel to the end of the world, but I would prefer to see the moment in which I am fulfilling one of my greatest goals. I couldn’t mention an exact day or time, since it is somewhat unpredictable, but I would like it to be in 3 more years, which are the years I have left to finish my university career, I would also like to see if at that time covid will still exist, although it is most likely that this pandemic will be with us for many years to come. In that travel to the future, I would like to see what things I will do after graduating, if I will work immediately or dedicate some time for myself. I feel that time is s...

My future Job

Imagen
  I would like in my future job to have the opportunity to implement changes in the planning of cities to make them more sustainable, I would also like to assess disaster risks for the most vulnerable communities that may be affected by climate change. I imagine this work in the field, exploring and studying the different territorial dynamics in our country, I also imagine myself in an office where everything that is collected in the field can be taken to a future solution for cities. In this work I would like to travel to know different realities as I mentioned before, since each territory is configured socially, culturally, and economically in a different way. Really, the salary is something that doesn’t worry me, my intention since I entered the geography career has been to somehow combat climate change and its impact on the poblation, especially to people who don`t have resources. However, I want to tell you that I have a waffle business, and it is also a job that I would lik...

Your bucket list

Imagen
  When I saw the movie "16 wishes" I wanted to make a list for my birthday and that all my dreams would come true, but although it is something fictitious, in my mind I have many goals to accomplish in the long or short term. When the pandemic started I have rethought many things, and one of those things is that the monotony doesn`t let us see how momentary life, health and the company of our families is, that is why we must live the present enjoying to the fullest, to make all the dreams we have since we were children come true. In my Bucket List I would include having my own house in the south, as I like to be in contact with nature, also travel especially to England appreciating the view of the big ben while having a coffee, I also dream of going to Brooklyn in New York with my family because we like to travel a lot. I hope to travel soon, although it isn’t difficult to get it, you must save money, to buy your own house you must do the same, but it is something I reall...

My favorite movie

Imagen
    wow, I think choosing just one favorite movie is very difficult because there are many that are very cool, but in this case I will mention one of my favorite movies of all time is "The Little Mermaid", I like it a lot because for me it is amazing how the main character Ariel lives at the bottom of the sea with her father the king triton who didn’t let her go to the surface but she liked to see how humans lived, In Ariel's adventures she was always accompanied by her friends the fish Flounder (I consider him very tender) and her friend the crab Sebastian (he is more grumpy haha) my favorite part is when she falls in love with prince Erick, although they had problems to be together at the end the king triton allowed both to get married. In general, I like to watch Disney animated movies because I can watch them with my family, the last movie I watched was Shrek 2, it is also a classic and I love it, I totally recommend it.

The Best Concert ever ❤

Imagen
  The best concert I have enjoyed was Miley Cyrus in the "Gypsy Heart Tour" , when she visited Chile for the first time on May 4 th , 2011 at the National Stadium. The hit album of the moment was "Can’t be tamed" being one of the most popular. Miley was 18 years old when she made this tour and had a great debut after finishing her participation in Disney Channel with her Hannah Montana character. I was always a fan of hers, ever since that TV show started. The day of the concert I was very anxious because I had never been to one, my godfather gave me the ticket, at that moment I felt like the happiest child in the world. When we arrived at the stadium there were many people outside because the doors weren`t open yet, when we entered the stadium the feeling was unique, the show was incredible and the song that I enjoyed the most was my favorite one which at that moment “Party in the U.S.A”.
