blog 8: English language challendges

I like English very much and I think it should be given more importance in our professional training, I think there should be more hours of English in the curriculum. I think that this semester the learning was a little complex since I missed many classes, for me it is necessary to have the support of the teacher to be able to study English, therefore, it was a little difficult for me to study by myself. Regarding the blogs, I think it is a fun way to exercise, plus this way you can learn more about the life and tastes of my classmates and friends.


Regarding my English, I need to improve my pronunciation and also better manage the verb tenses (past simple, present simple, etc) because sometimes I get confused and I tend to mix them up. I think the best way to learn and practice is watching movies in English, reading in English and also through music. If I had more time I would also like to be able to take another course so I could dedicate more attention to it, or in winter or summer vacations dedicate some hours of the day to try to learn on my own.  


Outside of English classes at the university, I use a little English in my work (LUSH) since many products have English names, so I practice my pronunciation. I also use English when I listen to music, most of the music I listen to is in English and sometimes I like to read the lyrics and practice while singing 💗

my partner Sami

Hi everyone! today I’m going to talk about mi puppy Sami. When the teacher said that the topic would be free, I couldn’t think of anything else than Sami, he is what I love the most in the world. He came into my life in a really sad moment, when I was 16 years old and my older sister left home, I felt very lonely at the time. At that moment, my mom decided that with a dog maybe I would feel accompanied, so one day without notice, my mom told me I had to go for Sami to my grandparents’s house. I fell in love with him from the first time I saw him and since then we are inseparable.  For me, Sami it’s not my pet, I consider him my partner. We do practically everything together, we like to take naps, hugging, go for a walk everyday, play with his toys (and my socks), Sami accompanies me while I study and he doesn't go to sleep until I finish. Even in my worst moments, Sami stays with me while I cry, he even licks my tears and sometimes he cries too. Sometimes people laugh at me because

a country you would like to visit: Cuba

Since I was a little girl, I always wanted to go to Cuba, it is a dream that I share with my mom. I like Cuba because I've always been interested in its history. Cuba has been a revolutionary country because it was one of the few countries that was able to confront american imperialism. Other countries took Cuba as an example to start their own revolutionary processes, even Chile, and that has always been very interesting to me.  I would like to visit historical places like “La Habana”,  "Plaza de la revolución" and take a picture with "Che" Guevara, go to "La bodeguita del Medio", dance salsa in salsa clubs and go to see the white sand and turquoise water beaches while enjoying the tropical weather. At the moment, I just want to go like a tourist, visit new places and hang out with my mom. But, in the future, I would like to live and grow old in Cuba .

The best concert ever

Imagen
The best experience that I had was at the Frontera Festival, it was not just one concert, it was like going to multiple concerts at the same time!!! I was lucky because I went to that festival two years in a row: 2013 and 2014. This event took place in “Club Hipico'' I had to wait in line with my friends for hours under the sun but I can say it was worth it.  I was a little girl, I was fourteen or fifteen years old and at the time it felt like I was living the best experience of my life, I felt like a grown up, very independent jeje. Frontera was a latinoamerican music festival, that’s why I got to see and meet artists from many different countries and enjoy my favorite music artists like Anita Tijoux, Manuel Garcia, Movimiento original, Chico Trujillo, Dread Mar-I and Calle 13!! For me, it was like being in Woodstock jaja there were a lot of people in tents, lying on blankets, relaxing while drinking, smoking and eating (obviously my friends and I just ate delicious stuff :3)
