My complex relation with English

Hi, in this post I will talk about my experience studying English at university

I have studied the four levels of English, since I come from a very bad school. In my school the teaching of English was very poor, so I have a bad level of English.

I have not been able to take all the courses consecutively, so I have had several periods in which I have not practiced.

The truth is that having classes and especially speaking in English makes me very anxious, because I feel that it costs me much more than the rest.

In the previous courses I had teachers who forced me to speak in front of my classmates (many times) and the truth is that it was quite traumatizing. I'm not exaggerating.

It is unfortunate that the situations and personal contexts of the students are not considered at the time of their evaluation and teaching. That is one of my great criticisms of the program.

All the same, I have improved a lot from level 1. One of the techniques that has helped me a lot is to remove the subtitles to the series or movies. I understand a lot more than before. But I still have a hard time being calm when speaking and pronouncing the words well.

This is the last course left for me to graduate, so when I finish college I will surely take a course to perfect my English.

Internet security and social medias

Regarding internet security, the truth is that i do have much knowledge of this subject. For the same reason is that I don’t take guards or protect my personal information in the web. I know that the companies as Facebook, Twitter o Instagram sell the information of your users and it worries me. Some time ago, it was discover the scandal of Cambridge Analytics. There it was found that Facebook sells our data with macabre objectives. The media of communication say that Donald Trump’s triumph was related to this.

Our data is exposed from the RUT in the supermarket until the online formalities of the university. My favorite social media is Instagram, because it works based on images and photographs. This social media belongs to the company Facebook. For this reason my data is unprotect and surely they are used by businessman and politicians for electoral...

The sound of hearts that break

The most significant concert in my life has been the release of the album "Amiga" by Alex Andwanter. The show was in July 2016 at the Teatro Caupolicán. Alex is a singer and composer of pop music very famous among young people. He was part of "Teleradio Donoso" until 2009, where he released two albums: "Gran Santiago" and "Bailar y llorar". Later, he began his solo career with the album "Rebeldes". In 2016 he published his second solo album "Amiga" and a few weeks ago he showed his latest album "Latinoamericana". Alex is a homosexual and is also an activist for the rights of LGBTIQ people. For this reason I admire him and I think it is a contribution to society from his critical work. The concert was very exciting because he played all the songs that I like, including my favorite: "Shanana". I started crying there, because the song has an important meaning for me.   The most of Alex's songs ...

A summer of journalism and rest

Hello, this time I will talk about my plans for this summer. I would like to do three things mainly: work on my thesis to get a degree next year, go to Temuco and Argentina to visit my uncles and, above all, rest because I need it too. First, I hope to complete the planning to complete my journalistic project. Throughout the month of January I will be dedicated to conducting interviews, reporting in the field and searching for testimonies for my story. My project is about crimes against the LGBTI population in Chile, so I feel the responsibility to do it in a serious and responsible way. So far I have six interviews and during the month of January I intend to do the twelve that I need. It sounds difficult. Considering that four years ago I have dedicated my summers to work or to do my professional practice, this summer I would like to go on a trip to the south. I intend to travel alone and I hope to find interesting adventures. Since I have family in the places I wan...
