The English in my life


Hi bloggers, today I’m going to talk about my experience learning English, what issues need to be improved, and how I use the language outside the classroom.
When I was in primary school I was very bad with the languages, teachers were too bad but I always got very good marks, even if I learnt nothing. Then, in secondary school, I went to another institution where English subject was very important. There, I had to buy an English book and I start to get bad qualifications, but I was tenacious and studied a lot so I balance my knowledge with other students of my class.
When I arrived at the university, I made the initial English test and I got in to level 3, my teacher was Simon. That was a very good experience, because he is a very good teacher and the dynamics (news for me) was so much entertaining, a blog where you can talk about funny and personals stories, and very productive oral interactions. I believe that the last dynamic is the best form to learn how to express yourself and learn by heart new words.
Today, English 4 is easier for me, but I have to learn more words and make more listen exercises, because always is hard for me to understand what foreigner people want to say, they don’t pronounce like Spanish speakers.
My best friend is studying English teaching, so when we hang out to parties I can ask him about words and expressions that I don’t understand and he correct me when my pronunciation is wrong.
I don’t use so much the language outside the university, but sometimes in my mind I speak in English haha.
That’s all for today, see you next time. Merry Christmas!

My first concert

When I was 16 (I'm 22 years old now, I'm growing older), saw on the TV an advert about Roger Water's concert, with The Wall album (I love that movie and his songs). Immediatly, I start to ask for money or some credit card to my family, "I must go" thought in my mind. Finally my grandmother bought me the ticket with her credit card. I will never forget that concert, It was on the begining of March, lovely sunny day (like 40°C, falling roasted ducks), with some beers outside of the National Stadium of Chile waiting to let us enter. Was my first concert in my life, and the first time smoking weed (I don't feel so proud about it, the day that I became a druggy. Just kidding), was a spiritual journey, singing all the hits that I love (screaming, actually). Fireworks, the greatest wall I've ever seen, visual effects, and a full stadium are things that I will never forget, I hope so.    At the night when I went home, high yet, with reddish eyes, my mother

My career is the party

I remember when I was 13, my art teacher told us to made a mockup of our houses (I was a very good student and I took very seriously that homework). Since that day I known that architecture is my career: I want to make miniatures for the rest of my days. When I dreamed about that discipline I always imagined me building things, making parks and public spaces from the people of the city, building nice things, but when I arrived to the  Universidad the Chile  (nobody had faith on my when the PSU day came, and obviously I chose the “best university of the country”) I discovered the truth about this career (I just like to be pessimistic), probably you’ll never build a stuff, the academic workload is unhuman (I had to transform me to an animal haha not really, I will never leave my social life aside, maybe I should) and some subjects are really boring (I never imagined me bore at class). After all, I keep my own fighting (it is very difficult, at least to me) just for the people I

Controversial questions

What is your opinion about legalizing marijuana and other drugs?  Since I have tasted marijuana I knew that is not a dangerous drug, it relaxes you and help with mental problems, even with health problems like epilepsy and physical pains. So I completely agree with the legalization for medical and recreational uses. The self-growth could stop drug trafficking and help many people who use it to control their sickness. What is your opinion about recycling? This is a big issue, we have to normalize the recycle and reuse of the garbage, but nowadays the government is not really interested in promote it, even knowing all the consequences that the plastic pollution is generating to the environment. If we don’t change our life style, very soon we’ll be living in a plastic world, full of contamination, without animals and healthy plants. What is your opinion about Immigration? I’ve always think that borders must disappear, are just political things that make us enemies a
