English Language Challenges

Hello! I really can’t believe I'm in my last year of English.

I like this subject at the university because I think I have learned a lot. I'm still not very secure about my knowledge and speaking but definitely it’s better after taking this class. At first I wasn’t very sure about taking this subject because my life was a mess and I was really stressed and demotivated with my career, but then I tried not to give up and make my best to pass it.

I also like using the blog because at first I wasn’t very convinced but now I think it’s useful because it helped me to order some of my ideas and also write about things that I like and I really love talking about myself, especially in a funny way to make people laugh. I used my blog from my first year of university and I was very nostalgic, it was interesting to watch my thoughts and expectations from that time, some of them were still the same and others changed a lot.    

I think I need to improve my formal use of the language because I'm still very coloquial and talk like people on TV shows. I don't have any plan yet but I promise I would change it. The videos that we record for the subject were very helpful because I notice my progress; the first one was terrible for me and the last I made it instantly! That made me so happy.

These days I'm using English very often. The only thing for what I always use it is to translate the words of some song that I liked, I also learn a lot doing it.

Thanks for all the learning and patience! It’s was very cool.

Bye!

Summer Vacations

Hello, today I will write about a place I’m going to visit in my summer vacations.

With my dad and sister we have been talking about going to Valle del Elqui next year. I’m really excited because my last trip with my family was like six years ago and it wasn’t very nice because we weren’t very close. But now we are on the same line and very happy of planning together.

This trip isn’t a hundred percent sure but we hope it works. Our plans are going in our car and make some stops in the way to rest and eat, then stay in some hostel or apartment not very expensive. Then I’m not very sure about what places or attractions we are going to visit because I haven’t searched yet and learned much about it, but I would like to watch the sky because it’s one of the best cities in the world to do it. Maybe I would ask for advice to my classmates at the university because they have traveled together to this city.

We didn’t decide on a date yet, so after I would like to work to have some money and buy myself some stuff before the trip and on it.  I would like to buy some original ice cream from the zone and obviously try some pisco (alcohol) because it’s very famous and maybe buy some clothes.

 Another thing that makes me happy is that I love the heat so I would dress very comfortable and maybe swim in some river. 

My academy year was very difficult so I’m longing for some rest!
