Eanglish challenges

In this, my last post, and I'm going to talk about the english language challenges and my experience learning english at university. In school I had a good experience with this language because I had good teachers and good activities. I always remember that I had to do a video with my friends in the last three years of school, and that was a little bit stressful, but it was fun too. Here at university, I liked the blogs because I never did something like that before, and I find them a good way to learn to write and to explain our ideas. I think the second part of the class could be better because it wasn't fluid, but I think that's our fault because we were a little bit shy (maybe because we didn't have many classes) and we didn't enjoy talking in english with our partners. I think that a very good way to learn english is to talk and practice, but, I think we have to be more used to this language for that. We have to lose the fear to talk, to practice our pro...

Psychology in "la Chile"

For this, my antepenultimate blog, I'll talk about my career in the University: psychology. I'm in my third year right now, and I have been learning a lot of academic things and a few practical things too. So, let's talk about that. First of all, I have to say that I love the curriculum of my university, because I had a lot of subjects that wasn't necessarily about psychology. For example, I had a sociology class, an anthropology class, and I even have a history class too. So I really appreciate that kind of classes, which allowed me to learn different points of view about social realities.  Besides, my curriculum is divided in two parts. In the first one we have all the basic subjects, and then we start to specialize in the areas we like. And I think that is a very good idea, even when you hate one or a few subjects, because they allow you to know all the possibilities that you have, before you decide where to go. So, that's why I think that the curriculum ...

Sports I love

I really like a lot of sports: football, basketball, handball, swimming and riding a bike. When I was a child, I really loved the sports class in school. It was very fun to move the body and play games, and not being in class writing boring stuff in my notebook. Nevertheless, when I grew up, I started to hate the sport class, because they didn't allowed me to play football (because I was a girl), and the games we had outside the class first, later became a demanding and boring training class. However, when I came into the university, I started to miss sports, and I started to ride my bike. In winter I don't use it very much, but in the rest of the year I try to get to the university riding my bike and it's wonderful. I spend less money, I use green transport, I do some exercise, and I feel exhausted at first, but very good after I rest a little. It has a lot of benefits! I also still love football, but I don't practice it any more. But I would love to play if I h...

Pachamama "Pachi" Arrugas

Tomorrow tuesday, my dog will turn one week in my home. The family who taked care of her and her seven other brothers and sisters, called her Arrugas, but after two weeks of discussion, my family and I, decided to call her Pachi (from Pachamama). Pachi doesn't respond to her name yet, because she's two months old! But she doesn't cry when she's alone anymore, and that's a big progress, because the first night she cryed a lot.  It was very sad, actually, because if you think the fact that we separated her from her mom and we forced her to sleep alone and outside, without any doubt I would cry a lot too. So the second night I slept whit her, against the decision we made about it before she arrived my home. Anyway, she is the most beautiful creature I've ever had in my home and I think I'm falling in love with her. I really want that the veterinarian vaccinated Pachi, because only then I would take her out the house and go for a walk t...

The best holidays I’ve had

My best holiday ever, without any doubt, was in my 2017 summer.  In the first days of January, my brother and I went to Cuba for ten days, and that was the most impressive trip I ever had until now. My father and my mother wanted to give us a trip a long time ago, but it was only possible this year because my brother award a scholarship for his first year at the university. I love my super clever bro <3 After that amazing trip full of learning about historical and political facts of that beautiful country, we returned to Santiago and I met with my friends and family to share what I saw there. And after that, I went to the south of our country, for about two months. When I finished the school, I lived for one year in a city named La Unión, in Región de Los  Ríos, so every summer since then, I return to visit the friends I made in that beautiful place. This summer, wasn't the exception.   I don't remember what I did first, but the fact is tha...

A country I'd like to visit

I actually dream to visit every country of Latinoamerica, but if you ask me now, I would like to visit Ecuador. I don't really know a lot of that country, that's why I wouldn't like to study, work or live there -at least for now-, but the fact that it has jungle for one side and beaches for an other, is very interesting for me. But that's just in the nature point of view, because in a political perspective, I'm not very sure, but I think they have an inclusive political constitution about indigenous/native people, or at least they have an inclusive justice system about it. So, that's why Ecuador is very interesting for me. If I was there, I would love to go to the Galapagos islands and to the jungle to take photos to all the animals and the landscape I can; I'd like to know the city, riding a bike if it were possible, and of course, I'd love to be in the ecuador line, to cross to the north hemisphere and then to the south, in less than one se...

First class

Hello! My name is Javiera, but everybody call me just Ja. I'm in my third year of psicology, and I have to aprove an english course. In this, my first class, I have to mention 3 theme posts that I want to write about this semester, but I don't really know what blogs are, so maybe I'll change thouse themes in the next classes, just if I want and if I cant. Well, the first thing that I would write about, could be the different countries of Latinoamerica, because I want to know more about the different cultures of it, so I would love to research a little about them, and I would like to write and put some good pictures about it in my blog. The second theme I could write about is bike travelling, because I already did one bike trip this year, and I really loved it. I actually want to keep doing that kind of trip, so it will be intresting to write the opcions in our country to do that. And finnaly, it will be interesting to write about this year's presidential elections...
