English language Challenges

What I write is about my experience learning English at university and blogs as learning tools. The first thing I think about is that despite being a good tool for learning English university career, missing many things that must be improved. On the one hand I am satisfied because I feel that the fact of being in constant contact with the language allowed me to learn vocabulary which I knew not. However I think the dynamics did not allow me to communicate fluently with my classmates, I think there should be more explanatory and corrective classes how to initiate a discussion or grammatical terms, also to know how to pronounce. The schedule of the course is done, the evening, it is very exhausting, and that unfortunately makes it not motivating the course.

About my weaknesses in English I think I should learn more phrasal verbs and vocabulary of my field of work, also improve the pronunciation of some words. I think a good way is listening to music and interviews in English on topics that interest me and that they are in my field of work, reading articles and books in English and also by contacting my friends who for some reason are familiar with the language. The truth is that today use very little the English outside of class, just sometimes when I need to read a piece of text in this language . But I think that in my future it will be very helpful to me this knowledge.

Some reflections...

I am goint to talk about this years… I don´t really sure it was a good or bad year compared to other, or if it had anything special for mention. Although I am in my last year undergraduate, my apreciation about this period is very normal as other year at university. However I must admit that I very nervous about it, because I have thought and I  have wanted to do things well. At beginning of year I started the new course of painting, I believed that I could paint all the years, but the second semester I let paint brush and took again the videocamera. I experiment a lot this years but I don´t have many result. I mean, I don´t produced many work art. Regarding my personal life, as I very busy with the work at university – the artista work and the theorical text- I didn´t see often my friend, and I think it was not a good decisión. only this last period I saw more them. But when I look back I also can appreciate that I share with a lot of people, specially at university, that I never would have thought about doing before.

One of the things that I hate this years is I have been very sick; very, but very alergic. And it was very bad because I frequently do this year work art with earth and dust.  On the other hand, the main achievement for me was I can share more with my family.

Well, that is all.

Plans for this summer

In this summer I would like to visit some friend living abroad. In general, I met these people when I traveled to Europe four years ago. For example my friend Larissa, she is a brasilian doctor and she is fall in love about trip… I imagine to relax in brasilian beach with sunglass  and a caipiriña in my hand. Or Maybe I could visit my friend Guadalupe she live in Paris with her husband and she often invite me to her house. I would like to see her very much but unfortunalety social atmosphere in the country is very tense. Also I have a friend in Lithuania called Karolina as me, I went to visit her once, but if I going  in summer holidays in this country the season is not the same, there will be winter, and a winter very cold around -20 celsius degrees. Oh I forgot, I meet a lot of people in Japan maybe this is a good country for have adventures trips, because it is still a culture different in some place and I have never  been in Asia. All this is a good intention to have a fun holidays, however the truth is that I don´t have money to travel. Althought I don´t need to pay  accommodation; the plane tickets, the food and activities spent many money. Perhaps the solution is will work and save money. But of corse I prefer travel and dream. 

TV series

Hello,

Today I am going to talk about my favourites tv series.

The truth is that I don´t usually watch a lot of tv, it is for many reason. The firts is because I don´t have many time, I spent most of day at university and when I am at home I believe I have to share with my family. Also when you watch tv you need to have a lot of attention and not move, I can not stand such stimuli on the screen. Then I think the tv programs not are really interesting, not interesting like others things, like to read a book or go for a walk to the park.

Although I don´t like TV, I remember watch some good tv series. Specially when I was a child, because my mom like some of them and we got together to see them evening weekend. I remember the serie “ Los Magníficos” it is about of four men, they were fugitives with an adventurous life. I think it was one of my fauvorites series. Other old serie with adventure character it was “Mcgiver”; He was an amazing agent with a lot of habilities, he always was in trouble and he always escape with ingenuity. Maybe If I watch these series today, it might I don´t like them. But I mention it because I have a good memories about.

How Green are you?

Unfortunately, I don´t have enought environmental consciuos. I believe I don´t have actions green,  because I don´t recycling, I don´t buy any special product. Also I transport always to bus or car. I would want to have and ride a bicycle, but I think it is very complicated for me have one, because sometimes I need to move at the moment and the distances are long, also I think in the concern for the risk of stolen it.

Maybe, I should changes some of my habits. For many things that you hear, for example global warming, environmentally friendly seem to be a serious matter.

A few time ago, in my neighborhood put recycling centers in some squares, Those municipal rubbish dumps have separation by colours and you can put your rubbish for this way. The colours are red, green, yellow, gray, brown and blue , they are to the glass, plastic, paper, tetra pack, organic and cans. At the university there is one center too.  I am not sure if they are effectives or there are them only to make conscious about the importance of recycling.

            One things, that I really would love to have it is a orchard. Perhaps, this is only a idealize idea about nature, but I imagine with a big garden with vegetables, trees, flowers…. and season food all the years.

Our Future Job...

I'm not quite sure what I really want to do in the near or remote future, I mean, I have not concrete plans. I guess I will continue linked to the visual arts. Perhaps continue studying a Masters.

So, I imagine not working in an office, at least not for a long time, because I like to move. I have traveled and I love to keep doing it. But for that you need money. My dreams is to set up my own workshop and work on it to live it. I wish to have art studio with ceramic tools and machines; also canvas, brushes, oils ... everything you need to paint and a great video camera and a studio for making recordings. Of course, with a lot of time to experiment. In simple words, the sky is the limit!

Well, A few years ago I studied a bit of Italian and French in their respective countries, also I took a course of Art History in Florence. It was a great experience that made me think of the possibilities to do so many things. I would like to further deepen in these languages, also in the English, and be able to use them as tools for my work. Sometimes, I have thought it would be interesting to work abroad.

The last movie

In general I don´t watch a lot of movie, the truth is that I enjoy when I can sit to look one, but for some reason as the time and priorities, I don´t usually do.

But if I watch one often it is with my little sisters, and of course, the film are for children. They invite me and I go because we have a close relationships, Firts I think I watch only a bit, but in general I look  all. Sometimes, unfortunalety, I believe relation to the movies that I know more about child topics.

            The last movies that remember I saw with them, it called in Spanish “Intensamente”. This is a film made to 3D animation with vivid colour. The argument consist in the life of a girl since she born until she begin adolescence, the moving house, her growth and her humor changes. But her history is told through the others character who live in girl´s mind, and the mind functions like a world. This character called: Joy, sadness, fear, anger and displeasure . My Little sisters enjoy very much this film and I think they felt represented  with Joy for her courage and good disposition, it is a main and optimistic character.

            I don´t enjoy very much it, I mean, It is not a bad movie, but I prefer other.
