English Language Challenges

 I was very excited at first to take english. I was able to go straight to the fourth level because I did well on the enlglish test before getting into college. It was very sad that i took this subject online, I would have loved to take it as an in-person class, but it just wasn't the case. With that said, I think the teacher was very nice, she always though about us as HUMAN BEINGS and students that have other things to do. I was very glad for that because it would have been terrible if the teacher was the kind of person that thinks his subject is the only one in the whole school (I took 8 subjects this semester so I was very scared for that) but I was so lucky and happy that I had a very good time. 

For medical reasons, I wasn't able to go to every class, also, I started to have in-person class of a subject that I have at thursday in the morning, so it was almost always impossible to me to get to my house and arrive at the time of the class. 

About the use of the blog, I think it's a very useful so the students can learn to write english, I have never done aything like this in english classes so I was very excited, it was the best part of this subject. 

I thinks the aspects of english that I need to improve are the vocabulary of more technical language (like a certain area where you have different words, like in law study) and the talking part. I think my accent could also improve. But fortunately I can manage to speak, write and understand english very well. 

I use english a lot to watch Youtube videos, it's one of the things that has helped me improve my english understanding A LOT in the last three years. I can now understand english in several accents, with people talking super fast or super slow. I almost don't have any kind of problem with that, to the point that I can watch videos in english without captions! 

On of the things that helped me learning english is my mom. She is an english teacher and she always helps me with any doubts that I have. My aunts also speak english and some of them are also teachers, so being surrounded by people that can help me understand more of this language helped a lot in my life.

A Country I would like to visit: England - London

Imagen
  During my three years of studies in college, I've been thinking a lot about what I want to do after I finish, especially when the subject is the specialization I wanna go for in journalism. My first option, and the one I hope I can go for is a master degree in Fashion Journalism. I've been looking for months for places all around the world where I could take that master, and I found one in London - England. The name of the school I want to go to is Fashion School of London, and it's a postgraduate course that lasts two years.  I know London is a very cold and rainy city, as well as most part of the United Kingdom. I must say I hate the cold and rain, so that might be an issue for me; I also know that is one of the most important capitals of fashion around the world, which also helps because that's the area I want to go for in communications. But another main reason why I want to go there is because I could visit other places, such as York, Manchester, or other countri

Time Travel to the future

  My perspective on the future of this planet is very negative. I think that it's way more certain that the human race will destroy most part of themselves slowly and painfully instead of saving themselves: we can already see that, with the amount of changes in the environment that we caused. That is why I would not like to travel to the future, at least not in the next one hundred years, or more.  I think that at some point, most part of us will die and just some of us will survive. After that, human race will have to be able to start again at some point. What some people suggest is that the salvation of human race is not in saving the earth, but going to space and living on other planet, like Mars (that sounds quite similar to a certain book I read...). I think that could happen at some point, but people can't deceive themselves: only a few will be able to travel to Mars, because it is and will continue to be for a long time a very, very expensive traveling, only for the rich

Songs and memories that make me nostalgic

Imagen
There are two songs I could think about when it comes to memories... I don't think they are exactly about moments, they are more about the feelings that I had in that time.  The first song is "We'll be coming back" from Calvin Harris. It reminds me of mid-2014, I was very young and I listened to a lot of EDM (Electronic Dance Music) at that time; I loved Calvin Harris and I had a very good friend at that time that also loved edm. Our favorite thing to do was to listen to it at school, or in our way home. It was an uncomplicated time, I didn't have many real issues in life, but as a teenager, I still thought that I had so many problems. I can't remember if I really had them, but I miss those times and treasure them in my mind. The second song is "Young dumb and broke" by Khalid. This song was launched weeks before I left high school, so it reminds me of that time; also, the lyrics are about two people that were at high school. Me and my friends though
