Post 8: English Language Challenges

Hello everyone! This is my last post about the difficulties of English.

I believe that English and languages in general are a very helpful and necessary tool in our lives, as it allows us to develop in new ways and opportunities. In the case of the course at the university, I only took levels 3 and 4 and I think both were very helpful, they helped me to reinforce things that I had not learned a hundred percent and to remember others. Likewise, I think that the use of blogs is a very good method of evaluation because it allows us to develop the writing part and at the same time, to know a little more about our classmates.

Outside of class I have not been using English much lately, however before the pandemic I was studying it and therefore, I was trying to use it to communicate with my classmates and teachers. I think that what I need to improve the most, apart from pronunciation, which I think is something that can always be improved, is daring to speak in public because I have been diagnosed with social anxiety, which paralyzes me when I speak and I can't understand what the other person is talking to me, but I am already treating it in therapy.

I hope to get better soon and get back to English so I can travel without worries haha.

Thanks for reading all my posts!

Post 7: Changes to my study program

 

Today's blog is about the career of public administration and its curriculum.

Public administration is a career focused on the vocation of public service and the relations between the State and the people. About its curriculum, I think it is one of the universities with the most complete content program, since it includes a multidisciplinary vision in which we learn about law, mathematics, statistics, public management, accounting and in general, things related to the administration of the State.

This career lasts ten semesters and in the last two we have the possibility of specializing in public management or political science, regarding this I think that the academic load so far I have coped well and teaching methods, in general I liked, but perhaps if the classes were face-to-face it would not be the same, I would probably not feel like studying when I get home, so the class schedule is something that I would change, as well as the amount of practical classes and professional practice possibilities.

As for the use of technologies, I have not had the chance to know how they work, because the lectures are short and we do not have much opportunity to go around, likewise the infrastructure of the School of Government and Public Management is a bit small and with fewer amenities than other faculties, but the new faculty is already under construction and I hope to get to know it before finishing the race.

I look forward to reading your opinions! Best regards!

Post 6: Time travel to the future

 

Hello everyone! Today I bring you a post about the future.

The truth is that I´m not very optimistic about the future, I think that in a few more years we will be even more complicated with climate change and we will have water shortages, few animals and plants and almost no clean air. However, if I think of a more positive future I would think of the technologies and advances that will exist by the year 2050 or 2100 and probably there if I would like to be.

Maybe we will be able to travel not only to other countries, but to other planets, know life beyond planet earth, communicate in other ways, go about our daily lives in other ways and be in a much more developed world. If I could do some of this, definitely to know the moon or Mars would be excellent because we could know if all those stories that say that there is water and life on other planets are real or not.

Anyway, I think it's not an era I would stay in because I imagine it's a life with less contact with other people and very individualistic because of technological advances, so for now I prefer to live in the present.

And you, would you take a trip to the future?

Post 5: My future job

 

Hello everyone!

Since I was little the idea of working helping people is something that motivates me a lot, so I decided to dedicate my life to work for and with people. Although I was never very clear about what area I wanted to work in, I always thought that this was my ideal life.

I first wanted to study medicine to give hope and heal people, but I realized that it was not the area I wanted. That's why I decided to go into public administration, because I felt I could make a change and have an impact on people's lives.

From the beginning, my ideal job has been in a ministry, although I don´t have a clear preference of which one I would like, I think it is a space where you work in a team, which allows you to learn realities and make the State get closer to citizens and work on their demands. I imagine it is a job in offices and I would love it if it would allow me to work and travel to learn about world leaders and things we could apply in our country.

I look forward to reading your posts! Greetings!

Post 3: Climate Change

 Hello! I hope you are well! Today's post is about climate change

Climate change is the main challenge we face as human beings, the rise in temperature of the planet by human causes has caused droughts, death of flora and fauna, melting glaciers, rising sea levels, among others, which in turn increases the emission of carbon dioxide putting at risk the lives of all.

We humans have a responsibility to take care of our planet, so the best thing we can do to reverse this is to use renewable energies, take care of the use of water, reduce the amount of plastics and garbage, unplug appliances that aren´t in use and recycle. However, although as individuals we have a great responsibility, countries must work together to create energy, economic, social and cultural policies that are efficient, generate awareness and manage to reduce the impact of global warming and the levels of greenhouse gas emissions.

Finally, I think we should all become aware of what is happening to our planet and try to improve our habits to curb global warming.

Greetings!

Post 2: My best holidays

 Hello! Today I bring you my best holidays.✌

Since I was little I visited many places, but I never toured Chile until together with my parents and cousin we decided to travel all over the south. It was a wonderful experience that lasted almost two months during 2018, I´d the opportunity to visit many places with wonderful landscapes, animals and waters, but without a doubt my favorite place was Huilo-Huilo, a biological reserve with more than 100,000 hectares located in the Los Rios region that has different waterfalls, glacial lakes and a trail that seeks the conservation of flora and fauna, protecting animal species such as huemul, cougars or deer and native species such as coihue.

Inside the reserve I went trekking, walked along trails, visited typical museums and attended talks on the preservation of endangered species. I think it´s a place that everyone should visit because of its wonderful countries and to learn to be more aware of the conservation of native species and care for the environment.

Post 1: A country I´d like to visit

 

Since I was little I´ve had the opportunity to see different places in the world and even live in other countries for a couple of months. I have enjoyed every trip and opportunity to learn about other cultures, however my lifelong dream is to live and study in Australia because I think it´s a country that provides welfare and an excellent quality of life, they have very efficient public policies dedicated to civic education, employment, health, social security and education. In addition, it has incredible landscapes and more than 10,000 beaches, they say that there is no place that is more than 1,000 kilometers away from the sea. They are also very dedicated to taking care of the environment, did you know that it is the country with the cleanest air in the world? I think that's amazing!

I would love to go there to study and hopefully stay and live there so that I can learn the language perfectly and learn a culture as responsible as theirs.
