Post 8: English language challenges

Hello everyone, this is my last post, I hope this is interesting to read and have fun.

In this post I will talk about my English teaching. I really liked the English classes at the university, the different activities in the classes and the evaluations make each course much more interesting than the English classes at school. I like that there are few hours of classes in the week since it encourages us to go to classes and not get bored for many hours. I like that teachers encourage you to participate and not be afraid of making mistakes or not knowing.

Blogs are a good way to practice vocabulary and grammar, requiring us to learn new words every week in order to express the ideas of each week. I like that they are different topics every week since it requires us to use or turn on words that we use little. It is good that they give us class time to develop this activity, since it takes a long time, sometimes it takes me more than an hour to finish each week's post.

I need to improve my hearing, many times I do not understand when they speak to me, the listening tests are the most difficult and I always have the worst mark. To improve I like to listen to music in english, to watch  movies in english and without subtitles and also the last few weeks I like to listen to podcasts in english.

Thank you very much for reading, comment what you think.

Changes to my study programme

 Hello everyone, this is my seventh post and and I will talk about the changes I would like to make to my study program. first tell them that I study architecture in Fau, Universidad de Chile, this career lasts 5 and a half years and and has 4 lines of education: urbanism, workshop, structure and history. The first thing I would change is more field trips, visiting buildings, touring the city and practicing during the first years. I would also like you to add classes of digital programs in study programme. The workload and length of studies also is a problem in my career, to solve this I think it is necessary for teachers to stimulate work in classes. 

The faculty facilities, buildings and infrastructure are not good, there is less and less space, due to the increase in students, there are also not the classrooms necessary for practical activities like workshops, computer rooms and other prototype machines. There is also no space for students to rest or enough for basic needs like eating or going to the bathroom.

The use of technology is insufficient, mainly due to having an outdated study programme. I think the study programme should always be in discussion, to improve it, change it, renew it, but adapt it to the new times, technologies and demands.

Thank you very much for reading, comment what you think.

Post 6: Time travel to the future

 If I had the technology to travel to the future, I would go to the year 2100, because I would like to see how humanity has developed in a few more generations. I would like to see if we solve important things in the world such as climate change, inequality between countries or improvement of social conditions. I believe that the best things we can do from now on is to combat climate change, with science and technology, while continuing to develop. for that it is important that our politicians work together. therefore I would like to travel to the future to find out if we won the war on climate change.

I would like to see how cities that today are poor and with little technology, in the future, thanks to development, will become good places for their inhabitants. I would also like to see the technology developed in the space race, I hope we can travel it as we travel our planet, and I would also like to know about extraterrestrial life.

I would like to live a few years in the future to learn from its development and then return to the present to apply what I have learned and solve the main problems of today.

I hope a machine is developed to travel in time, but hopefully that does not bring us consequences as seen in the movies.
