POST 8: ENGLISH LANGUAGE CHALLENGES

 My first experience learning English at university, it is not far from my years at school, the methodologies are similar in the tasks assigned to us, since in those years they did writing work for me. In my opinion, I need to improve my pronunciation and fluency in English, as there have been no occasions in which I have seen the need to use it, taking the opportunity to practice and evaluate my progress. However, to improve this, I consider a solution to start conversations with my sister, in addition to listening to audio books and repeating the content until exhaustion. During this semester, having to write blogs was interesting to me, since we have to express our opinions, experiences and ideas on a topic, which is quite personal and now that we have been in online mode, the use of blogs is the way to get to know our classmates when at least they write about themselves. The way each one writes is different. Currently I practice English by watching series or series in English w...

POST 7: CHANGES TO MY STUDY PROGRAMME

 Hi Well, first I have to explain where and what degree I'm studying. Currently, I am a second year architecture student at the University of Chile. The career has a length of 11 semesters, corresponding to five and a half years.

On the other hand, we also have a workshop, which is more practical, in other words, you learn by creating the spaces in a format. From all the experience I have had in these 4 semesters, I would say that some changes that could be made are linked to the time allocated to the workshop, as well as adding branches on design strategies and urban environment. In my opinion I think that one learns more effectively by practicing with the hands than by just focusing on the theory of architecture. As for my faculty, d...

POST 6: FOOD

 HI, Today I am going to talk about a topic that surely is of interest to all of you, the favorite food. For some, mealtime is the most anticipated time of the day and it becomes even better when the dish is something you like. In my case, my favorite food is rice, which itself is considered more of a side dish, but for me, any food that has rice is my favorite. It can be rice with meat, rice with egg, rice with chicken, etc. Even in desserts I like it. The reason why I like this carbohydrate is because it is easy to combine with any protein, so choosing the next meal does not become so tedious, in addition, it can be prepared in different ways such as: curry, adding corn, chaufa, grained or not. In my house it is consumed frequently, at least 3 times a week at lunch, because in my house I do not eat dinner. When I was a child, my sister and I in one of our many childhood antics played with rice like marbles and threw it from one plate to the other. The game was quite entertaining ...
