Hello. Today I´m going to talk about my English Language Challenge My experience learning English at university have been very well. I have learned a lot in this year. I sometimes believed that it would be very dificult learn a new language , but this have not been thus, because I have dedicated it time. With regard to use of blogs I consider that is a good tool to keep learning English, because we are constantly reading and writing in English, which makes it a little more everyday. In my own experience this has helped me a lot to acquire vocabulary, to learn grammar and new expressions. Besides to think in English. But sometimes the topics costed me a little because I didn´t know that write. On other hand one aspect that I should improved is speak more, because I find it very hard the pronuntiation and to think in english. To improved this I would like to meet and talk with people who know English to get to converse fluently. In general I try to use the english ou...

Hello ! In general I have liked my study programme of plastic arts. The subjects are divided into two types: We have practical subjects that are the main one of the our curriculum in where we work in workshop and theoretical subjects that basically is history of art and aesthetic. With regard to practical subjects I like how it work, because it are semi annual and each of us choses the workshop that want to go and If we don´t like the teacher or teaching methods we can choose other. While the theoretical subjects are the same for all. This is something that I don´t like, because are obligatory and little interesting in their teaching methods.  In this sense I would like very much to open different lines of topics in the subjects and we could choose according to our interest, as with the career of History and Arts Theory. According to our workload this is usually not much, we usually work on personal projects and will depend on ourselves how much we will work. This is...

Hello! In this summer I have not idea about what I will do. I have thought On one side that I want to take advantage of  rest and relax but conversely I need work and save money. I know  that in January I´m going to work and in February I will go to somewhere, maybe to Punta Arenas. Also I would like to go to south of Chile to see my family and friends. I would go to ninth and tenth region to stay with them and enjoy the lakes, volcanoes and maybe summer rain. I would like so much going through the Araucaria forests and the mountains to being very close to nature to breathe and forget about the city As I mentioned before in the south of Chile I have a lot of relative and they know about tissues and textile and I would like so much to learn more of this and much more of them since it is his trade, besides I would to take advantage and enjoy their southern meals. I would really like to take this trip to the south to rest and connect with me, to get rid of...

Hello, in this blog I´m going to talk about my Favorite blog During the last years I have read a lot of books by Casilda Rodrigañez. Casilda is Spanish author that write about birth, maternity and female sexuality. I like so much read her books because she have many information about female sexuality oppression and its history. as women sometimes we know   very little about ourselves and with she I have learned a lot. So one of my favorite book is "El asalto al Hades" wrote by her and I recomend a lot.   With regard to the type of books that I like to read these are always books whose authors have a different way of seeing the world and therefore do not belong to any literary industry, they do not reserve the copyright and change the perspective of see things. The last book I read, was not Casilda Rodriganez, but "Una realidad Aparte" of Carlos Castaneda. This book I liked so much because is a mixture of  autobiography, hallucinogen, toltec...

Hello!! For me, talking about the future is difficult and much more if I want to study or not in an institution. I do not really want to take a postgraduate course, it's not something I'm thinking about, the only thing I would like to do for now is take a pedagogy course that does not last more than a year or study some relevant things with dance. I do not have  intention to continue studies in an institution. Regarding pedagogy I would like to take it because I think it is an alternative to live considering that I study plastic arts and the environment where you can work is not very varied. In addition, I have always liked to teach and share the things I learn to do. I have thought about going to study in Argentina because it is very close to Chile, it offers me new perspectives and because the cost of studying is very accessible, as well as having the experience of studying abroad. With respect to the study environment I am not a very good friend of technology and ...

Hello! Talk about my future job is difficult for me because nowadays I like do many things to which I dedicate myself. On one side I would like to have a workshop where to work. I am studying plastic arts and I have specialized in goldsmith and textile and I would love produce works of this type in my own workshop with all the tools of the world. But also in this time I have been learning about “Lauderia” and it would be amazing to continue learning and working from this. I really love make works with my own hands. And on the other hand I practice circus and I would like so much can I dedicate myself to be a circus artist. Although I am already doing it, I would like to professionalize myself even more to be able to create and participate in contemporary montages and presentations. With the circus I would love to travel and live from this, both learning and showing my work. And finally I would also like to study pedagogy in order to teach and transmit everything I kn...

Hello!!! My favorite food is the pastel de choclo, but is difficult to me eat it because I am vegetarian and at all the places or restaurants they prepare this dish with meat. For this reason almost the only time I eat is when I prepare myself or somebody prepare it for me. I love when my mom prepare this dish because It has a lot of work and she cooks delicious . Besides you have to add that is a summer dish, so the option to eat are few for me, so I enjoy a lot when we are in summer and start to emerge the first corns. I enjoy a lot cook and I think that always I am cooking because I worry a lot of my nutrition and because I Believe that  food is very important, besides of this way I give my affection to people who I love. I enjoy cook sweet food like cakes, ice cream and desserts but always without sugar. Sometimes it is difficult because I dont know with what to replace it with although there are several options. For this I am not going a lot to restaurants, b...

I can hardly choose which is my favorite movie because I like many. but one movie has left a mark on me was "Into the Wild" of director Sean Penn. This movie I saw when I was twenty years old and it meant a lot to me because in that age I felt like the protagonist. He, bored with the life he had been living, decided to leave to become a globetrotter, a journey that has taken two years of his life. Y did not understand many thing at that time and just wanted leave everything and to go somewhere. In fact I went on trips, my first trip alone for south america. I should say that movie helped me to take the decision of doing it.  Besides I like the places why he was. I´ve always liked see movies, and enter the places they present us, for that I love animation and  fantasy movies like those of the gibli studio and also those that play with the stetic of their scenes and burst with traditional cinema and because not to mention the comedy movies that are always light to se...

Hello... In this post I am going to talk about one of my best trips. I made this trip about three years ago and I was traveling for about three months in the Patagonia of Chile. It was a very beautiful trip since I was in contact with nature all this time. In each place I came to, I could camp in front of a beautiful lake or river of caliphs and turquoise colors, besides being close to some forest. I started my route in Puerto Montt, where I stayed at the house of an uncle and then pass by places like Chaiten, Futaleufu, the enchanted forest, Puerto Castillo, Caleta Tortel, until finally arriving at Punta Arenas. No doubt that getting here was wonderful, because I really felt at the end of the world. I could also go to the Torres del Paine, which are really incredible and totally recommendable. On this trip, I had the opportunity to meet very kind people, who welcomed me and my companion with whom I travel in a very good way. It really was a trip that I liked a lot and th...

The country I would like to visit is India to see what is their culture and customs. Always wich caught my attention your way of living because is very different to way we have of linving in occident. When I think in India your colorful costumes, food and condiments come to me mind although also I see that there is a lot of poverty and they have a very hierarchy society, thing that strikes me. If I could  go to India I would like taste their foods. I know it is very spicy but I like It. Besides I would go to markets, visit their temples like the Taj Mahal, learn about their upholstery and many other things. Also I would like to learn about their particular way of see the world, and for that I think that the best way to do it is by working with them because that's how I would learn in a close way how they live. I hope to one day have the opportunity to travel and know this country, because it is very interesting for me, for everything I said before   . ...

I think that the personal informations on websites is not very safe because I don´t know wich is the scope  that has can it. But I find me with that almost all the website require personal information for work, thing I don´t like. I don´t understand why I should share my telephone number or my directions or even share everything I do, when I don´t know where all that information arrives. I Never have been very friendly with the technology, the websites or social media, although I believe that this can be useful for certain things. I don´t use much the social media because I find it very impersonals and for this reasons I don´t dedicate much time it. Instead of use this I preffer do other things that allows me to develop me like person or build nearest relationships.  An Finally as I said the websites or social media are vey useful for certain people but I have not found them very useful.
