Blog 10: English Language Challenges.

Imagen
Hello everyone. In this opportunity I will tell you about my experience learning English at university. In the second semester of 2019 I was taking English II for the first time. In this moment I was very excited to take English class again, because since 2015 I have not taken any kind of classes. Except for the experience of living with English speakers in 2016. but when I was taking English II, I didn't remember much. The English course in 2019 started off very well, the professor was nice, but due to the context of our faculty, which was on strike, I stopped living in Santiago, everything became more difficult after October, therefore the English course was cancelled, so stop worrying about English. Already in the first semester of 2020, I was determined to progress with the English courses. For that reason, together with my partner, we begin to watch English series with English subtitles and make video calls with friends in Scotland to practice our English. So, when E...

Blog 9: Changes to My Study Program

  Hello there. In this opportunity I´m go to talk about changes in my study program of Art Theory and History at the University of Chile. When I entered this career, the study programme had just been changed and my generation was only the second with the new programme. Therefore, in the time I have been in my career, the new curriculum has been adjusted because of the testing process that is in course. One of the biggest changes that has taken place is the change from a thesis to a dissertation. This reduces the extension of the final work required for graduation and accommodates it within the four years of the undergraduate programme. I consider it is beneficial for us as students, as it removes some of the stress that is involved in a thesis. I think the new curriculum has adapted well, though there were obvious problems caused by the pandemic, particularly with respect to internships. Before the pandemic, one of the characteristics of the third year of the degree was that...

Blog 8: Personal Opinions

Imagen
Hello everyone, today I am going to talk about a couple of my opinions on the topic of human relationships. In recent years I believe that the way we relate to each other has become more important. From my point of view, it has been the feminist movement that has been mainly responsible for bringing the debate around human relationships into the public eye. I think it is very important for all of us to rethink our relationships, to evaluate each person's responsibilities and to be conscious of the places of enunciation in any type of relationship. Regarding the last point, I think that asking ourselves the place of enunciation from where we say or carry out an action is fundamental to relating in a healthy relationship with others. As chile was a colony, the power relations installed from the foreigner, not only permeate in the political sphere, also in the reproduction of colonial dynamics in our relations. Understanding the power structures that have emerged from colonial d...

Blog 7: An Interesting Hobby/ free-time activity you have

Imagen
  Hello everyone, in this opportunity I´m go to talk about one of my favourite’s hobbies. I have been a Star Wars fan since I was a kid. I even today watch the movies and series with my dad. We were watching The Mandalorian, but since the season is over, I started looking for more content. For that reason, I started reading the Star Wars comics made by Marvel. some years ago, I had read all the Star Wars Collection made by Dark Horse, but since Star Wars is now owned by Disney these comics are not anymore canon in the history of Star Wars.   Was a nice surprise I really liked the marvel comics, because the integration of new characters like Dr. Aphra has helped a lot in the development of familiar characters like Darth Vader. I like to read comics because they add stories that are not seen in the movies and allow me to better appreciate the relationship between the characters or understand the attitudes they have in the movies. The same fact that Disney is producing a lo...
