English Language Challenges

  



Well, I've done English two, three and four at FAU and it's helped me learn a little more English. I had English in my previous schools but it wasn't very good.

Regarding the blogs, I think that beyond helping me to write in English, I have learned more about the thoughts of my colleagues which has been interesting and entertaining. Because of all the pandemic stuff I haven't met them, but through the blogs I think you can get closer to them.

In addition to the courses and classes, I still have a lot of work to do in speaking English, I am too embarrassed to speak in English, the words don't flow and I don't have many opportunities to speak in English with people so I don't practice it either. I can understand what I read, but speaking it is still too much of a challenge for me. In the future, I will have to continue taking courses to be able to improve in this aspect, learning English is vital for me, I want to travel and meet people and I am afraid to do it without knowing another language besides Spanish.

As I mentioned before, I don't practice any English outside of class, only when I watch movies in English and try to understand what they say without watching the subtitles. I have thought about taking other courses outside of the university so that I can "let go" and speak more fluently in English, sometimes in my head I manage to answer in English but when it comes to saying it the words do not come out of my mouth, I am terrified of speaking in English, but I know that by practicing more, someday I will succeed.

    I hope you can achieve your goals. I imagine that improve our English must be difficult, but also satisfactory and very useful.

    I guess english it's a matter of practice. Sadly there are very few moments in which we can practice and go a little bit further. But anyways, keep on going and you could achieve your travelling goals!

My opinion...

  Here´s my opinion about some topics In my opinion, buy pets only promote the animal trafficking as if they were objects and not living beings. Some people only buy pets because they are cute when they are still babies and once they grow up they get rid of them and end up like the hundreds of dogs or cats on the streets. We must be more conscientious about this, love and respect them, not treat them as if they were products. About climate change, I hope that everyone will see that it is real and that different actions must be taken to stop this, because it is not only an environmental issue, is also an economic and social one. I think that many years ago the government should have taken accurate measures in favor of the environment and its surroundings, leaving aside, even if it was a moment, the market policy. Related to the previous topic is also the recycling, in my opinion, not only should we be aware of the consequences of not taking care of our "garbage", also the co

My future job

  Honestly, I’m still not entirely clear on which area of design I want to work but I have more clarity about the conditions that I want   for my ideal future job and some ideas of how as this job would be. I imagine myself working with a group of people sharing ideas for a projects or products, in a round table with a lot of boards, post-its in everywhere, like when we have Project class at the FAU.  Some days at the office and other days researching outside the office and collecting information, because in design you have to observe a lot about what is going on around you if you want to design and do a good job. I will like to share with people of different areas of expertise to create things or give solutions more innovative. I hope on this work the opportunities to travel it will be many, to different part of Chile and other countries, to know and learn more about other cultures and realities. About the salary, enough to pay for my basic needs and that I  still have money t
