English Language Challenges

My experience learning English in this university has been good. I can’t say a lot about it because I only took two courses, but I can definitely say that it helped me to improve my pronunciation and to learn idioms that can help in any situation, for example, when you have to write blogs and make an idea. About blogs, I have to say that they are a good tool to practice writing, because it is an important part when we have to apply for some job or interview. We have to know how to write properly in English and we should be capable of writing about any theme, that’s why blogs are important; they are not boring essays and we can write in the way we like to express ourselves.
English class is important for me because I can keep practicing the language. I know that it’s very common to forget how to pronounce or write or use some words when you don’t speak English frequently, so this class for me is a good way to practice (because it’s different from singing in English or watching series with subtitles).
Nowadays, English is something that you use for everything. I mainly use it to talk with friends on the social media, because it is the global language, so I can talk with friends from Brazil, Canada or any part of the world.
I plan to keep improving my English, maybe traveling or going on an exchange trip to North America or Europe; maybe I can learn things there that help me to do better things with my career and to do better things for the people.

Photography

I have to say I don’t know a lot about photography. I like to take pictures of things that call my attention, for example, the sunset or the sunrise between the buildings, or the colors of the city. I think I like these kinds of pictures because of the ‘’color palette’’, it makes me calm. Another thing I enjoy taking pictures is street art. I luckily study near many neighborhoods that are full of paintings and different kinds of street art, so it’s really cool for me to go for a walk in these places and take pictures of what I see. I also enjoy taking pictures of animals, more specifically dogs, and even more specifically street dogs. I think that sometimes pictures can reflect what they want to tell us with their sight. It can be love, or hunger, or many other things, but I think that the way dogs look at us is something really nice to capture with a camera. It also happens with cats, but they are mainly posing for the camera, they know that they are some kind of models....

my future job

As an architecture student, I think that my future job is going to relate with architecture. I’d love to have projects for my own but I admit that I also like to work on groups, I think that is a good way to learn more and make an amazing project. I really like the artsy part of architecture; it fills my heart, so I’d love to work on something very related to it. Maybe an art museum, or designing galleries, or even be part of an urban art project, because I really love urban art. I like graffiti, murals, and public spaces destined to people’s enjoyment. I would love to see the concrete jungle full of colors. I’d really like to work on something like this, on something that returns the public space to people that uses it every day. For me, our city has to be more colorful and I want to be part of that change. I don’t expect earning a lot of money or to become rich with this job but I think it is more important for me to be happy with what I do than making myself rich, because, in ...

Changes to my study programme

Studying Architecture in the University of Chile sound like something great and promising; you have a brilliant future in front of you because you’re studying a profitable career in one of the best Universities of Chile. However, the truth is that is not as good as it seems. It’s known that this educational institution has a lot of problems, and they can be seen clearly in our faculty. I can start saying that the length of the career is much larger than in other universities (that are better qualified). We spend years and years learning and working in the same things, sometimes with not noticeable progress, and then, all of this is shown when you enter to the professional field. I think this university should focus more on their students and less on the ‘’prestige’’ they’re trying to show to the world. Besides, the conditions in where we’re working and studying are not the best. The classrooms don’t have the required equipment for all the students. We don’t have places to work o...
