6. ENGLISH LANGUAGE CHALLENGES

Image
  Hello everyone, this time the topic is about English at university. Well, the last semester the English was online, so having English face to face is a very good avantage, I think I learned a lot more than the last semester and I hope that a little less than the next semester. Talking with other people and not only with the teacher was very very useful, because, really, in the last semester only a few of us were talking, and having a conversation with my classmates was impossible. So, taking the course face to face is really good to understand, to have comments from the teacher and from my classmates, and know that all the people present are giving their attention to the class.  I enjoy the course of course, but also I have to talk about the bad things. First of all, I think that continue with the type of evaluations of the last semester is a very bad thing, like, do videos, do blogs, we do that the last semester because we was in a online course, but this time I feel we can...

5. Change of my study programme

Image
  Hello everyone, I’m back with another blog. Today the topic is my career, specifically the program of studies. Well, first of all, I’m only in the second year of Sociology, so I don’t know what the subjects will be in the future. I will only talk about the 3 semesters, and two of these were online. I study Sociology in the Universidad de Chile, in the school of Social Sciences. We have introductory subjects in the first year, subjects to understand social sciences and the basics of sociology. This is a very good way to introduce the career for the people who don’t know (or know less) about sociology. I think that the first year wasn't good, for the online class, if the class wasn’t online maybe I would learn a lot more. But we learn other things (that are not subject, but are very useful) like how to find a bibliography for the works, how to read papers (or academic lectures in general). And for the subject themself, teachers have catedras and in all of my subjects we have a lot ...

4. Time to travel to the future

Image
  Hello everyone, I’m here again with the fourth blog. Today we are going to talk about where I would like to go. First of all, I want to go everywhere, because all the countries and, of course, the cities of these are so different from others. I think that all of them are special and have a tradicional things or mix with the global culture. So, for the first time I want to go to Asia, because the east is the opposite of the west, so their culture is so different as well, expecificaly I want to go to China, Korea and Japan. These countries have a really good mix of traditional and modern, have tradicional holidays like the Chinese new year, the festival of the moon in the mid-autumn, etc, but also have a lot of technology, like, LG, Sansumg are one of the top companies of Korea, Chine have their own system of social media and cell phones, Japan have a really goods companies of cars, and also have an advantage technology to create robots or holograms, like, a concert of hologram in ...

Image
  Hello everyone, Today we are going to talk about My dream job. First of all, I have a lot of hobbies, and a lot of them was, in the past, a dream job for me; like, I like a lot cook, so one of my dream jobs was be a Chef, also for a long time I was like “I want to be a teacher, a math teacher”, but actually I here, studying sociology. Well, actually, my dream job is something related to culture or arts; I really like the link betwen the dress-fashion with the queer (LBGT+), or the historical research about fashion, the relevance of arts in the social protest (like the october 19th in Chile); the cultural process of dance (like, the historical transformation of dance, traditional dance to actual urban dance for example). So I think that my dream job is to research one (or most) of those topics. Pinteres search; Outfit pride idea For do that (talking about fashion, but also works in arts) I need, first of all, finished my career, also I need to do a lot of research about those, and...

First of all, in my life I only go to 3 concerts (Seventeen, Monsta X and One Ok Rock, if you are curious about that), so we talk about one of these: the (first) concert of Monsta X in Chile. So, who are Monsta X? Monsta X are a group of Kpop, former for 7 members (actually are 6), they debuted in 2015. They have a lot of albums and collaborations (They collaborated with Steeve Aoki, and French Montana, also they are in one chapter of We Bare Bears, like a favorite's band of Bear Panda. So, in 2017 they have a tour in Latin America (like 3 or 4 countries), and they come to Chile, in September of that year also they dress like "huasos", (yes, the photos aren't a edit) and eat empanadas. By the way, for the day of the concert (it was a tuesday, I remember that) I was going to the school. I was going to a friend from my school, who saved a number in the line to enter, like, oth...

1. A Country I'd Like To Visit

Image
Hello, today in my blog I will try to explain a little bit about China, and my interest in that country. I would like to visit China, I really interesting in the culture of this place, like the ancestral culture, their lenguaje (I learning that), their history because I know a little about budhism and in China that religion expand without war, or their gastronomy. And of course, their actual culture, like movies, series, books, music and another things.  So, talking about lenguaje; their have a oficial lenguaje (Mandarin) but also have a lot of variantion in the sourth or the north. Their lenguaje is pitogram, and one pictogram is one word, with one sound in particular, their use some like 2.000 words in their day by day but have more than 7.000, and their are most simply in comparation with the chinese traditional. You can see the budism culture, and the confucio influence in their thought, because their respect to their old people. And in the actuality China is one of the most co...

Tell us about a subject you enjoy studying

Image
  Social Research design is a subject in the second semester of sociology, is a subject that explains a lot of things that you can use in other subjects, because here we learn about how to do research design (and this is what we do in a lot of subjects), i n this subject I enjoy and learn a lot.  In the first place, I enjoy because is a very structurate subject, so is not hard to do homeworks (almost of them are weekly), different from others subjects this don’t have an extensive bibliography, and this subject have a lot of work in group, I really enjoy working with others, and the same thing do that this subject don't be so hard. Now, What have I learned? I learn, like the name says, how to do research design, I learn step by step, so I learn how to check bibliography, how to make questions for the research and how to make this perfect. In the first time, when I read the name, I think that we need to do a research, but actually we don’t, we only do the previous step for the r...
