So… farewell!

Hello

This is my last post!  The class of English already nearing the end…

For that reason today I am going to write about my relation with English, in conclusion.

Well, I was studying English in the university for four semesters. The true is that my experience has been very diverse.  I had good enough teachers and bad enough, some very basic as others very advanced to teach. I was not just in ICEI, also was in FACSO at Universidad de Chile.

The blog that we had to write helped me to extend my vocabulary and I learned about the structure of this language, though the topics not always were amusing. Anyway, it was the first time that I was writing a blog and to learn this was interesting.

Still I have aspects of my English that I need to be improved. For example, continue expanding my vocabulary and to improve my listening and speaking. I think to study intensely during the last weeks of the year, helping myself with audios and exercises in English for to improve the phonetics of the language.

Outside the English class, I am using English quite often because I have to prepare for the final test enough I would like to have more time for this. Today, everyone´s exhausted and nobody has time (I just hope that the semester is over, please).

For me, to learn English is a goal many years ago because I want to travel all over the world and the English is the universal language. Also is great to speak other language.

                                                          So… farewell, my friends!!!

Changes, Changes!

Hello!

Today I´m going to be a critique of my career: journalism.

I´m studying with the old program. Exactly, this year the core curriculum changed. I don´t know why, but I guess that the subjects aren´t well-ordered. Now, the students have more journalistic subjects in the early years.

This way, they are going to be more prepared than we, to this height. Well, I cannot change this, but I would like it. Another thing that I would like that it was different is the length of studies. I think that five years is too long. We happen a lot of time with theoretical subjects.  Though I like them anyhow, I would like that these subjects were less. The career might end, probably, in four years.

Also I would wish that we could choose a way from before. For example, if I had a choice, I would not take a subject of investigative journalism. I would occupy these spaces to take more subjects of photography and audio-visual, because this is to what I want to devote. This would be much more useful for me. Or vice versa, to the partner who like more of the investigative journalism might aspire to more subjects as this one.

Finally, it is necessary to modernize more the career with the use of technologies, why not, in all the subjects. We are in the age of the digital and the visual communication. And also, the teachers should consider this to plan his classes.

I don't want anything else than that…
