English lenguage challenges

Hi readers, how are you? Today I have a mix of senses, I'm happy because vacations are coming soon, and I think you are exited too, but I'm also a little bit sad because I've known a lot of great people here and we are not going to meet again so easily. But the main thing that makes me write this last post is to talk about learning english this year. 

To start, I have to say that the english classes this year were very good. I feel that I learn a lot of new contents and vocabulary. We also know each other as we have the opportunity to interact with each one of the class in the different activities during the course. Besides, this class helps me to notice what things I have to improve, and one of those is the fluency when I'm reading because I always make little mistakes during my reading. to improve this I thing that I'm going to read more things in english and continue with the exercise of watch movies with the audio and the subtitles in english. About the blogs, I thing that it's a good tool to practice and learn english and mixed it with the contents of the class it's more funny and attractive and it's a way to use the technology in the process of learning that works very well.

Well, apart of the exercise with the movie that I mentioned previously, I don't use so much english in my life. I try to use it every time I can like listening to music or setting the video games in english, but I don't use it much with my friends or my family. Maybe this could be a thing that I should change to improve my english level. 

So, as a resume, I really enjoy the enlgish classes this semester, I think we all learn a lot and I know that there are some things that could be better and I have to work to improve it. Thanks you guys for read the blogs and hope to see you again in another class. 

  

Changes to my study programme

Hi there, are you happy today? I know we are closing the semester and that make us being tired, and stressful. I hope this post helps you to get distract of everything. So, today I'm going to talk about my career programme.

I think the curriculum is one of the most important things, in fact, that's why I'm studying this, because I saw the curriculum and it looks very interesting and attractive, and, at least for this year, de different courses that I've attended were accord to the expectation of them.  About the length of te career I think that it's okay, at least is the average of length, about five years, and the workload depends on the teachers. Some of them believe that his/her course is the most important one, and they don´t understand that you have other five courses to approve. But there al also those teachers that empathise with the students and the workload is lower. 

If there is one thing that is pending is the infrastructure. The buildings where we are now has capacity for approximately five hundred people, but now we are more of six hundred and the next year we must share this small place with another career. The building doesn't have a cafeteria, the library has a second floor that we can't use because it maybe will collapse, we don´t have an elevator for disables people. We have a big pending here.

About the use of technology I think it's very important for the learning process and have to take courses of excel and others programs like this is very helpful. Maybe it could be a second course this programs because they are very important. Finally, I think that teaching methods depends on every teacher, but maybe they could consider including more practical work to complement the theory that we learn in the classroom.     

   

My favorite book!

I must start recognizing that I always hate to read at school because I think that if you are going to read a book is because you want and not because you are obligated to do it, but in this situation we have the opportunity to read a lot of greats books and the one that I like and enjoy most was "Cien años de soledad" by Gabriel García Márquez, who is also my favorite author. An honourable mention for Farenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, another masterpiece in literature.  

I really like this book because it makes you to get into the history and feel identified with the characters and the different situations or problems that they have to sort out. And I chose G.G.Márquez because I admire his capacity for create different histories and characters and how, in some of his books, he mixed some of them. I can make a list of greats books of him like Relatos de un náufrago, Del amor y otros demonios, or La triste historia de Cándida Eréndida. 

I think I don't have a favorite type of books, I like historical ones, "magic realism", love histories, etc. I only need a motivation to read and after that any book is a good one to read it.       

I don´t remember exactly which was the last book that a read, but i think it was "Un mundo feliz" by Aldous Huxley. It's about a dystopia where humans are created by a machine and emotions are controlled by drugs.
