My experience with English

Imagen
Hello friends! Today is our last blog and I want us to talk about the challenges of the English languaje. First of all I would like to tell you that I have never been a good person to learn and speak English. It's difficult to  me, but I also know that there are people who are very comfortable speaking in this language. But I am very clear that speaking in English is very important, personally and professionally.  That's why I think it's very important that English is included in our curriculum. But that does not mean that since I am in English at level 1 I am afraid of presentations, to talk with the teacher. Over time I think I've been improving, but I'm missing a lot. Something I like to do is blogs, because as I am shame to speak English in front of other people this a good strategy to write and expand vocabulary in English.  The aspects that I need to improve in my English and which are challenges that are necessary for the future, is to ...

Sometimes the changes are necessary

Hello friends! Today I will tell you other aspects of my career, in relation to the curriculum, duration of the career, etc. Regarding the program of studies of my career I consider that I am part of the last generation that was with the old curricular, so I can not talk about the current one, since I know very little about it's program. The one that touched me had problems that the subjects were not well distributed over the five years, for example in the second year in the first semester we had three branches and in other cases they could be more than six subjects in a semester. Another aspect that I believe could be improved is that of professional practice. I have known that in other universities they dedicate a semester to be able to do it in the best way. Because in this way there is no overload of work and studies. If that option were accepted, I think it's necessary that the duration of the career be five years. The institute facilities I think a...

My dream work

Hello friends! Today I am going to talk about the future, which is rapidly approaching our lives. I don’t like think about the future, because we don’t know what will happen later. I like to live here and now. During these four years in which I have studied journalism, I have liked different things about the career. When I had the radio course I loved it, but my dream of working in that medium of communication felt very quickly, since I have a pronunciation problem with the letter s. One of the things that I have thought about working when my career ends is in the broadcast of outdoor news on television, by that I mean doing offices from the street, sharing with people and making news live. Since I entered the career of journalism, I thought about being a journalist dedicated to sports. To be able to travel to different countries and transmit the soccer world cup and other sporting events. Be part of the team that performs interviews with the highest level athletes. ...

Summer Holidays

Imagen
Hello friends! Today we are going to talk about something that we all expect during the year, summer vacations. Many people think of going on a trip to another country, enjoying the summer, but the first thing I think is that it is the opportunity to return to my region with my family. Among the plans I have in mind, the idea is to rest a few days, leave behind the stress of the university and the months that I have been doing my practice, which ends this week. I am very happy about that and to close a new stage. The second week of January I will start working in a Rengo bookstore, which I have already worked for years before. I would be there until the beginning of March, since in February it is the high season with school lists. Probably the rest of the days I’m going to go to pools, the park or the hill with my family. My idea is in the third week of March go to travel to the north of the country, then move to Bolivia to the Salar de Uyuni, and if the money...

How many of you do the same?

Hello friends!  Today  I want to talk about how difficult it's to lead a healthy life in university. I think that a high percentage of young people who are studying, it costs them to eat healthy, this may be due to different reasons. Personally, this year has been very difficult to have a healthy life, because I had little time to do sport. Every day I encourage myself to go jogging and follow an exercise routine, but when it came to a grueling day of university and then go to work in practice, it's almost impossible to meet that objetive.   I believe that in the University there are not many possibilities of doing sports, due to the time that one has to devote to the classes and to the works that require research that take extra time out of our lives. I would like to have more time to go out to the hill with friends or ride a bicycle around the city, since I don´t like to be sedentary. Another factor that I feel is very important, is that since ...

The dream of sports journalism

Hi Friends! Today I want to talk with you about what I would like to study if I had the possibility of doing a post graduate studies. In my case, I have not thought about continuing with my studies after finishing my journalism career. I am one of those people who lives in the present, since one never knows what may happen in the future. But there are moments where I start to wonder if my passion for sports can really reach another level and study a postgraduate degree in sports journalism in Europe, specifically in Spain. I think that in that continent the sport is seen from another perspective. It is a great cradle to live the essence of the highest level sports competitions. Real Madrid and the European University of Madrid created, in 2006, the first School of Postgraduate Studies specialized in sports, and it is in that place where I would like to study in the future. The Master's Degree in Communication and Sports Journalism teaches how sport journalism is and...

Great decision

Hi Friends! Making the decision about what I wanted for my future was very difficult.  Since I was a child  I always  wanted to study law. I wanted to defend people who needed my help, who were in an unfair situation. I also wanted to study a career to become an accountant, because the high school  was a technical one and I spent four years studying things related to that career.  When the day of the application arrived, I decided to study law at the Universidad de Concepción.  In second and third place, I aply for journalism at the Universidad de Chile and the Universidad de Santiago.  When I knew the results, it was joy and sadness at the same time, because I was on the waiting list in the first option but at the same time I had to choose a university in Santiago that was   closer to my home and family. I made the decisión to study joounalism at the Universidad de Chile, without being sure of what I was doing.   Current...
