My English learning process

Learning to speak English is not easy, at least for me. I think that's because I do not like the English. I'm interested in other languages like French or Portuguese, but it is well known that English is much more useful in life.

The comments I make about my experience learning English at the University, is joined to the first level for years, and I remember that the teacher was a woman with great patience and very friendly, helping us to try to develop our personality speech. I enjoyed a lot in the course, but when I entered the second level started to frustrate me. I think it was because I shared with people who already knew how to speak better English and I felt silly for not knowing how to speak. English three I felt like English two, and when I came to English four handed me something similar. For things in life, I had to change my section and found a very nice course with peers who share their knowledge, and to be few in room we can develop our linguistic habiidad. In addition, we have a teacher who is very patient and taught us well.

Regarding the use of the blog, I look fun and also serve to work writing. That if I think not even English, and I must learn. For this I decided to take a course to help me methodically and personalized way to develop my skills in this language.

Honestly, outside the English class did not use the language. I only speak Spanish, since I have no space to develop English conversation or reading in English, nor do I feel like because I do not speak it.

The truth is that I feel very frustrated.

2014: the good and bad points

This year 2014 has been a year with many good things and some not so good. Regarding the bad things that happened this year was that during the first half was very sick. They gave me a lot of headaches, and many colds, which made me feel very weak and missed much to college for that. In addition, the first half flunked a course, which discouraged me a lot, because it was a very enjoyable and interesting topic.

Among the good things I can say I've been very busy. I have been offered many job options, and that relate to things I like. Some jobs are related to quantitative research, others having to do with telling people that makes a sociologist, and other jobs that are assistantships subjects.

In that sense, my main accomplishments this 2014 have been doing things I want. The second half has gone better, work on what I want, and many people rely on as work, therefore I continue to offer employment options.

I think the academic year ending keep working, but all I want to do is to rest and go much fun with my friends. I think I want to walk and sleep a lot in the summer. Besides, I need time relfexión to know about that topic will work my seminar grade, and I hope to make a decision during the summer to arrive in March with a theme.

I want to go on vacation, and could talk for a long time with my friends, enjoying life, good food and a couple of beers to accompany the summer relaxation.

The last election of FECh

Today, I’m going to write about the last FECH election.

The FECH is the student’s federation at University of Chile. It is an important organization of the student movement.  It was born in 1906 to assist the victims of Valparaíso fire. Since then, it has been relevant to social and political processes in the Chilean society.  For example, the FECH was an essential actor to protest against Pinochet’s dictatorship. In democracy, since the end of the decade of the 90’, the student’s movements re-energized and the organization level grew up to the situation in 2011. This year, the FECh takes the lead in the student’s protest against “the business education”, and it becomes more important in the political agenda.

Since 2011, the FECh election has become topic of mass media, because whoever is elected define the course of student movement. In the last election, at November 2014, were presented six options for the management the FECh. The election was complicated, because the first day of voting, the quorum was very low. The consequences of this, was that the second day the students involved more in the process and they went  to vote. 

The final result was the next: the first position in the federation, is the presidency and winner it the candidate of "Somos Fuerza" Valentina Saavedra. She is the new president of federation during the end 2014 y all the 2015 year. I hope she do it well in your paperwork. 

How green are you? I am bit green...

Being a "green" person, today it has become relevant. People slowly but day by day, has adopted habits that show how the ecological paradigm is installed in today's society. They have many environmentally aware organizations that promote environmental stewardship emerged and explained that now the only option is to adopt a new attitude, so we can take care of the planet. So much so, that in some schools and study centers are taught to generate and promote practices that seek to raise awareness and protect the planet earth. The typical example is to landfills that are differentiated by the type of waste material that is bouncing, so it is easier to recycle that garbage. 

In my case, the truth is I'm not a very "green" person, but sometimes I try. When I can separate the trash, especially paper, I give it to people who are dedicated to take them to recycling centers. Other practices that have been developed to protect the environment and health of people, and being promoted to city level are bike paths that enable the space for people to travel by bicycle. Unfortunately, there are many places where these unique paths do not exist.

Personally, I try to bike as much as you can, playing sports, and travel to places near my house. 

I'm not part of any environmental organization, although the truth because I am becoming aware of the issue, not whether I'm willing to dedicate my time to a cause like this. I think you can just help me doing practical things away faster. 

In the case of Santiago, I think that is advanced in the areas of bike lanes, but still lacks many instances to decontaminate the environment, such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles, put many more containers for differentiated waste, etc.
