Last blog: English language challenges

I want to say that learn English at university was a very different experience in comparison with i expected in my first day of classes, i expected a traditional class in whiteboard like school, but the experience of write blogs, express ideas or opinions about a topic was a really good experience, 'cause i want a exchange in a future (if it's possible and the money becomes my friend).

 I don't know where yet but i know that i must learn all the English as i can, that's the reason why i like this experience to write and read English, reading is my weakest skill and write and read blogs helps me a lot to practice for the English level that i want and must need for a exchange.

 

Of course, my plan to improve my reading is just read English, study physics or chemistry in English, the concepts and the contents are the same in fact, only change the language and the form to express ideas and there is my problem, view movies in English with subtitles in English is other strategy that i use a lot and most of people, listening to the movies, stories and dialogues in other language helps us to get acquainted with the language.



These days i read physics in English, studying for the Monday A3 test, some books in English express more directly the concepts and i understand better some things and it's very useful to me. Also i saw movies in English without subtitles to proof myself if i can understand almost of dialogues, this helps me in the fluency.

Changes, improvement for students

Today the students take out their voices  in the universities about sexual harassment, academic load that produces high stress levels at carrers as medicine, engineering and many others with a high academic load. Today, is the changes age, bad situations of ancient times at universities get out at the light 'cause the student's voice. Also we're at the technology age, the technology made our lifes (and studies of course), more easy and also lazy, now i'll write about some possible changes or improvements at the studies:

 

For me and every student it’s very important to have the chance of sport activities and a good sport building and infrastructure (gym's, courts of basketball, football, handball, volleyball, etc...)

The sport is a very good way to de-stress ourselves, improves our body and mind-health and in this faculty the sport infrastructure is very bad, some selections go to training at JGM 'cause here they

don´t have an appropriate court.

Other general change at all the universities could be the use of technology as a teaching method but not abusing technology, what i mean with that? Well, in my opinion, the modern teachers use a lot the technology at classes what it's not bad, but could be closer than an abuse of it. 

That’s why i think it's very necessary the whiteboard explanation like "the old classes", 'cause some teachers only read the ppt and that's their class, completely without of knowledge and without the main skill as a teacher, be able to explain a topic with your own words with all the knowledge you have as all the students understand well. I feel a miss of this skill in the modern teachers. Modern teachers must know how to use the technology but as a complement of the whiteboard explanation or "the old style" , with "complement" i mean images, programs that can demonstrate a molecule geometry, complements like a graphic of a very specific concept or applications and the theory explained at the whiteboard.

I thinks this 'cause "the old class style" obligate at the student to imagine the theory and stay focused, the electronic devices broke our focus very easy, that's the reason why i think that everyone (specially the teachers) must to have a responsable use of technology (internet specially) as a teaching tool.

Other fact that i'll change is the pressure on us as student from teachers, sometimes pressure is necessary bu not at the depression and abuse level.

Daily topics

Today many topics are on the voices of everybody,topics like abortion, drugs, the environment damage, contamination, recycling,etc. Topics that reveal the actual society that we have.

Today i'm going to answer 4 questions about this topics:

1)What's your opinion about recycling?
Recycling is an habit that we would had since a lot of time ago, since the beginning of industrial revolution, because since that event the humanity release a lot of contaminants like SO2. CO, and other gases, some wastes of many products that could mean contamination around the industry or fabric, affecting to population. This problem of contamination had a lot of time, the recycling born like the solution of the not biodegradable wastes (derivatives of plastic). For me recycling today it's a RESPONSABILITY of everyone if we want to stay living in this world.

2)What's your opinion about climate change?
The climate change it's consecuence of the contaminants level at the atmosphere. This last years the planet had the most higher level of CO2 in the history, the scientist are working right now in alternative energy sources that will give us clean and ecologycal energies, free of contaminants, i think that here in Chile , the government should promove the environmental sciences and investigation to have options of clean and ecologycal energy sources.

3)What's your opinion about violence on tv?
The violence on tv had always exist, the problem is that the tv hide that. Today in Chile the tv can't hide the violence 'cause it's diary, violence is higher this last years, i think that this happens 'cause it's the consecuence of bad choices and irresponsability of society and specially politicians, they are completly out of context, it's like they were living in other world, they don't search for solutions to national problems that are the cause of violence, the happiness of the chilean.

4)What's your opinion about inmigration?
I think that inmigration it's the top of the consecuences of all this problems, people are searching for a better life quality, better choices, better works and politics, a better health that are extremly related with contamination level at some countries or cities.
