Hi all! Today is my last post blog. It's very sad because is the end of a experience at university. Well I'm going to talk about learning English and the use of blogs. My experience in this class was very good. I'm so happy and proud because I learning a lot during this semester. It has been six good months. I think I now speak and understand a little more than at the beginning of classes. I'm very grateful with the teacher Benjy Alaluf. He has a lot of patience and uses good teaching methods. I liked the contents of the classes very much. We saw good movies. Many related to politics. For example the Irish films  "The Wind That Shakes The Barley" and "Jimmy's Hall Review" . We also saw very interesting videos on YouTube. The teacher used technology to teach. That is very remarkable. Also the content of the classes was related to Journalism. The teachers made a good selection of contents. The use of blogs was good. It's not...

Hi everyone!  Today it is very hot. I don't like coming to university when the weather is like this. But in a few weeks the holidays will come haha. In this post I'm going to write about some changes that could be made in my study programme. Unfortunately the curriculum is old. It doesn't fit the current times that journalism lives. The subjects are varied but do not contribute in the formation of future journalists. They recently changed it, but our generation didn't have to experience the changes. I think the new one is much more specialized. I would have liked to have economics subjects, laws and more English classes. I would also like to learn more languages like French or German. When I was a child, I learned a little German but over the years I forgot. The lenght of studies in Journalism is too long We have many subjects that don't contribute in anything. With three or four years it would be fine. I think the university wants to keep tak...

Hi everyone! I hope you are doing well. Today I'm going to write about my summer vacation plans.  Well, this has been a very busy year. In the first past of the year, I did my practise in Radio ADN. It was from January to July. It was a good experience, which helped me to know how the media works. In the second part of this 2017, I dedicated myself to go to university. The semester was difficult but so far it has been good. It's less than a month before this academic year ends. Next year will be the last. So it will be very special. My intention is to travel to Los Angeles, in the south of the country, to be with my family and my friends. I don't see them much because of the distance. I always try to be with them at Christmas and New Year. I think the important dates are to be with the people that one loves the most. In the rest of my summer vacation, I want to work to save money. It's not in my plans to travel outside of Los Angeles or out of Chile ...
