English Classes' Blog

Hi there! this is the last time I will write on this blog, so I'm going to tell you a little about my experience of learning English language at the university. In a general view, I like the current English program. I think writting in blogs is a very didactic way to learn. The colours, the images, and the chance to interact with our classmates and their blogs, make this activity something funnier than just a test. Furthermore, the possibility of look for the words that we don't know their translation and the dynamic of increasing the number of words each week, make this instance a much more friendly and gradual process, and that is valuable. By this way, everyone can see their progress in terms of writing, creativity, coherence and length. On the other hand, I also like the way we practice our speaking and grammar skills on classes, with different and interesting material, like videos, guides, audios, worksheets, etc., making the process something enjoyable and less m...

Certainly, it is a very difficult topic: food and culinary art are wonderful, as much in the experience of eat as in the experience of create. This is a very interesting topic for me, because one of the activities I love to do is to cook. I really like to mix textures and flavors, try new recipes, and try to make a tasty, healthy and vegan dish at the same time. So, I prefer to eat in if it is possible, that's why I use the JUNAEB food allowance to buy at the supermarket once a month and prepare my own food. I prefer to prepare my food by myself basically for three reasons:  1. because I'm vegan, so it is often difficult to find food an ywhere. 2. because I really care about my health, so I try to avoid processed food (that is most of the food you can buy  anywhere). One of my dreams is to have a vegetable patch, but it is hard in a apartment. 3. because I love to create. I really enjoy to cook and show other people my creations. If I would have to choose one fa...

When I was a child and I start to imagine myself in the future, I didn't think that I would become a Psychologist. By that time I wish to be a teacher, an astronaut, a pediatrician doctor, etc. Now, when I think that I will be a Psychologist, I have others work interests.  I don't even know exactly what I would to do in the future, but by this time I think I like to work as a Clinical Psychologist, but maybe related to the social area, I mean, work for the SENAME, or in high-risk social sectors in Santiago, Chile or South America, by the public system. On the other hand, I also want to work independently, be self employed, maybe in my own consulting room. I like this idea mainly because of the possibility of having a flex time job. I would like to have a flex time job or a part time job because, in addition of the psycological practice, I like to do so many things, like paint, dance, read, make craftwork, do sport, etc.  In addition to this, I really want that my...

I really like to visit so many places around the world, primarily in Latin America, but at least for now I would like to do the San Pedro-Perú-Bolivia-Ecuador track. Nevertheless, I know this wonderful track takes so many time and money, especially in San Pedro, a very expensive place, as opposed to Perú and Bolivia. So, considering this, I think that I would divide the tracks in two trips: maybe San Pedro-Perú and Bolivia-Ecuador. In San Pedro I would like to visit the "Valle de la Luna", the Tatio's geysers, the hot springs of Puritama, "Pukará de Quitor", where are Atacameño's archaeological remains, the salar of Atacama and the Chaxa lake. And also, I would like to do some astronomical and astrological tours in there, or just see the stars by this place.  In Perú I would like to visit Cuzco, and in there, go to the Machu Picchu ruins; Chachapoyas, Tumbes, Puerto Maldonado, Abancay and Arequipa. Maybe I would visit Lima, but some people tell me it ...

What is your opinion on the social networks and the effect they have on society? I think social networks could be beneficial if we use it as a way to give our opinion, to make discussion, to make diffusion, to keep us informed about important issues, to share memes, etc. But, in the other hand, social networks tends to be a kind of destructive place, with so much harmful stereotypes, violent opinions and lack of information. It depends on the way we use it. What is your opinion on animal testing? Personally, I'm desagree about animal testing, especially for cosmetic issues. Currently, I know there is a strict protocol to do animal experiments in sciencie, wich I see as a little progress, but I think we must stop see no-human animals like things we can use to our benefit. I don't see the difference between testing on humans (as in the Holocaust) and testing in other animals. I know sometimes is seems like "necessary", but in these cases I would think it so har...
