Blog 5: Changes to my study program

 Hi everyone!

Today I will talk about the changes that I would made in my career. I study Social Work and is a carreer that was opened a few years ago (2014), because in the dictatorship was closed, because it was a very political  career, and was made an important fight in resistance to the dictatorship.

About the curriculum, I think that the courses are very nice, because we have a good education in the social sciences, investigation and critical view of the society. That deliver us differents tools to confront the work world and the complex problem that exist in the society. 

In terms of workload, I think that the classes are so long, because beeing 3 hours listen the teacher is very easy lost the concentration in the first or second hour, but I think that the lenght of my carreer -5 years- is ok, I think that is a good amonunt of time to have a good training.

The infrastructure from my faculty I think that is ok, because is big and have a lot of places to study, but in some cases the classroom are to small and we are, sometimes, very cramped. In my career we use programs that help us analyze data and make graphics, but in general each student must have this program on their own computers. I think that could improve because the university can´t assume that every student have a computer.

BLOG 3: My dream Job

Hi classmates! 

Today I will talk about my dream Job. I study Social Work, so I would like to work on this area and apply what I have learned during the five years. To be honest I don´t have clarity what my dream job will be, and I wouldn´t like to work in the same place all my life, but in general calls my attention the prision section and the creation of public policies. 

I must to develop differents skills to work on this things, like communicating with people who think complete different from me and make agreements. I think that is so difficult discuss with people, for example, from the political sector of the right. 

Respect the salary, I would like to say "the money is not important" or "I work because is my vocation", but the money is necessary to have a good life, so I would llike to have a salary with I can live peacefull and with dignity. 

The next year I would take a major about a speciffical focus on Social Work, so I think that I would take one that the content comes from latinoamerica, because I think that is time to study an focus in theories from our continent.

I think that my carreer is very versatile, so I can work in differents things that I will discover in the future.

Thanks for reading :)

BLOG 6: English lenguage challenges

Hi everyone! I hope you are having a goog week after the strike :)

Today I will talk about  English Lenguages Challenges and my experience with English class in this semester. First of all, about my experience learning English at university, I consider that has been very productive because I can understand, learn and listen things that before I can´t. This experience has been very different from others, for example, at school, because in that place the way to learn was focusing on learn grammar, but I forget this things very fast. Here at university is more focusing on apply the aspects an have the toolls to communicate, read, listen and write, maybe not in a perfect way, but can do this. For example with the blogs every weeks, write about differents topics, was a verry good way helps to expand my vocabulary and grammar.

About the aspects in my English that I think I must improved are in listenning and reading, they are the most difficult aspects to me, and the way that I think can improved are with seeing movies and series in English and have the subtitles in English too. With this plan I can practice to read an listen everything in English.

Outside English class I used it to read investigation or Instagram post that are not translate to Spanish, also understand the meanings of the songs and videos, and if I must to communicate with people that aren´t Spanish speaker is very usefull, because is verry common that people from another parts of the word speak even a little bit of English.

Thanks for the class and I hope I can see you the next semester :)
