Post X: "English Language Challenges"

Hello everyone! This is the last blog session (YAAAY!). I am going to talk about how was my experience writting a session blog every week, which aspects I need to improve and how much I use english in daily life, besides english class.

My expierience in english class was very pleaseant. I mean... It was stimulating to be a class at 6:30 pm, when most of people end their classes and go home. The professor knew how to create an enjoyable environment to us, their students, and made a lot of dynamic activities in class, like create a screenplay in english to improve our vocabulary and oral expression in general. Also blogs helped me a lot to improve my english vocabulary and writting abilities.

I will keep improving my english skills watching TV series and reading books in english, because is always useful. I travelled to USA in my summer vacations and knowing at least the basic of english was VERY, VERY useful. I could ask for directions without any problem and also ask how to use the meter card without doing mime, sometimes I had problems to speak to people, but I could handle it anyway. Constantly learning english is really useful, even to read university stuff, like articles, papers or books that are not in spanish and are a good reference, you need a minimum english knownledge. English is an important language in all countries, that is why we NEED to improve or english, you can speak to people of foreign countries, like Germany, France, China or Neederlands, despite not knowing their languages if you know english.

See you!!

Post XIX: "Have I had a good first semester?"

Hello everyone! Today I am going to talk about this first semester.

I am going to start talking about the subject that I liked more this first half of the year. The subject that I enjoyed more this semester was a Monographic about the various ways of thinking the body throught art history. It was pretty interesting study the body and the different ways of representation. Each period had their own way to do that. For example, greeks and egyptians were completely opposite to each other. The first ones wanted to put harmony, beauty and movement in their sculptures, they did not care if the sculpture's pose was impossible to do for a human been if was harmonic, but second ones wanted to paint eternity in all their walls, because they believed in eternity; that can explain their hieratic painings and sculptures, they did not want movement or beauty because that can end easily, they wanted to capture eternity with their art. Now we are studying contemporaty art and is very interesting.

And generally talking... It was quite difficult, I have seven subjects on going and I can not say "Yes, it was easy", but at least I can say that I am going well despite having a lot of courses at the same time. It was a good start, I tried to study a lot to not have problems at the end of the semester. And I am proud of that now, because we had a very long strike, around two months. Nevertheless, I read a lot and did my essays, tests, and other stuff in time and had acceptable marks, so I did not have to worry now, because I can approve everything without pain. It was last year, we had a strike too, and I was coursing english 4 aswell. I could not pass english last semester because the strike was too long so I am glad to be avialable to finally finish this course...

See you!

Post VIII: "A favourite picture of me"

Hello guys! Today I will talk about my favourite picture. It was hard to dedide, but among all my favourites photos... this one in particular is so funny. It was taken in February of this year at Disney's Animal Kingdom in Orlando, United States of America.

I was there during my vacations, my uncles invited my sister and I to go with them to Disney. I can not put in words how I LOVE Disney since I was a child, and I was like a dream have been there. Also, I have never been in a foreign country before, so it was a brand new experience... I flew a lot of hours by plane and I have never traveled by one before, so that also was kind of new to me and my sister aswell.

This photo is quite special to me, because I laught a lot each time I renember how I ended in this particular position… We were walking around Animal Kingdom and stopped in a point to stay in queue to take a picture with Rafiki, from The Lion King. Two of my cousins took place on the picture because they came first on the row. Rafiki (Well, well… The guy inside Rafiki’s costume) guided my cousisns to take place on the photo. After that, he put himself in front of them, completely covering my cousisns. I truly enjoy doing ridiculous stuff, so I jumped to cover Rafiki, but I’ve never thought that the photographer would take a picture of that. Later I couldn’t stopt laughting… Even the photographer was laughting.

See you!
