Post 9 : Changes to my study program

Hi hommies,

Today’s topic is “changes to my study program”. I like the study program that my career has (Engineering in Renewable Natural Resources), actually that’s one of the reasons I chose it. I like the signatures it has because includes language, math and science, the basic knowledge. But I have one problem with one signature: English. English in most universities is obligatory but here is optional, and if you want to take it, you must fight against other people to take it, because many people want it and there are only 20 vacancies.

My professors are wise but they don’t know how to teach, most of them don’t have a teacher title. I had a professor that was awful at teaching; he didn’t know how to make us pay attention or how to explain some concepts so I ended up hating the signature.

The facilities are nice; there are labratories (old but still labs), and nice classrooms. I don’t like the chairs but last year the university changed some old chairs with new ones and they have a lot of space to put your stuff.

Finally: field trips. I have had amazing field trips. Obligatory or voluntary they are always amazing. The last trip I had was in Quintero, Valparaíso. We had to interview a bunch of people about their lives in there. It was a beautiful sunny day. My group was the only one who went to the trip, and my professor bought us “empanadas” for lunch in a restaurant near the coast. It was delicious!

    I agree, I think that english must be obligatory, and also teach another languages

    One of the ploblem in this university is that, most of teachers aren't teachers.

Post 1: A country I'd like to visit

Hi homies👋😄, Today I'd like to talk about a country I'd like to visit✌. Honestly, I'm not good at travelling because I tend to miss my home so much; besides, I don't like the trip itself because I get bored and tired. But if I had to choose one, I'd like to visit Japan. As I told you in the introduction, I love anime and videogames a lot, and Japan is the ideal country to travel since is the biggest anime and videogame producer in the world. Also, Japan is very clean and has beautiful japanese gardens that you can visit with your family with amazing old temples related with their religion.   I won't like to stay there living tho, I think I'd stay for a couple of months, but i don't like Japan that much because I don't like their sexist and based-on-looks culture. I like Chile very much even with its bad things.

Post 3 : Movies

Hi homies! How are you? Hope you are doing great! Today's topic is movies . I'm not good at watching movies to be honest, I'm a series person. But when I do, I prefer horror ones . That doesn't mean I only watch those kind of movies... as long as the trama catches me, then it will work for me. I don't have a favourite actor/actress, but I like Jason Momoa very much! I want to watch his last movie 'Aquaman' but it hasn't been released yet, so I'm excited for watching it soon. Moving on, my favourite director is Guillermo del Toro . He is an spanish director who has directed amazing films like 'El laberinto del fauno', 'Mamá', among others. His last hit was 'The shape of water'. Not my favourite, but the makeup is great.   Finally, my favourite movie is Mulan . I like it a lot because it has taught me how to be brave in a world of men. Also, the soundtrack is amazing, characters are unique, and makes you cry, l...

Post 7: Environmental Conflicts

Hello hommies, Today, this post will be about environmental conflicts. There is so much to explain but I will try to make it short. Today in Chile there's one particular conflict that has become very popular -sadly- because of the amount of pollution: Quintero-Puchuncaví's bay. Right now I'm doing a report of it and the scenario is impressive: first, media exaggerates the physical scenario. There is no oil in the streets or a black giant cloud above the town (not in the day at least). I have been in Las Ventanas twice because I have had to interview people who live there, and the way media shows it makes such an awful impression that the economy of the town has dropped a lot because people don’t want to go there and get sick. Then, there is the government: they don’t offer a proper solution. They gave a solution once: but it only helped industries to contaminate even more. Isn’t that stupid? Inhabitants have normalized the contamination so much that they don...
