Post 8: English Language Challenges

-

 The comments I can make about my experience learning English at the university is that it has been a little difficult, especially when I have to speak or lecture in front of my classmates, since it is a language that is very difficult for me so I get very insecure in the lectures and that makes me very nervous and I feel very embarrassed to speak in front of my classmates. In spite of the above, the English teachers we have had have been very understanding and kind when it comes to teaching us English.

I feel that it has been very entertaining to use blogs to learn English, since having to read your classmates' blogs has been very fun and didactic. The only thing that I personally have found difficult about the blogs is that they have to be weekly and that has been a little complicated for me.

I think the aspects I need to improve in English are quite a few and also in order to improve I will need more years of study about this language. It is very hard for me to speak English, I feel that I do it so badly that I don't dare to speak it and writing it is also very hard for me, the truth is that English has always been hard for me, in school it was also very difficult for me. To improve my English I plan to continue studying and dedicate more time to it.

Outside of English class I don't use English because for now I haven't needed it for my day to day life.

Post 4: What's like to study psychology ?

I am a psychology student and I decided to study psychology because I feel and believe that it is a career that focuses on helping people, that fascinates me, it would leave my heart full to know that I can help someone feel better, also to feel that I contribute a grain of sand to create a better world and also I find the mind and human behavior very interesting, it is fascinating. Psychology has many options of specialization and that also makes me like it a lot, some examples of that are clinical psychology, labor psychology, educational psychology, legal psychology, forensic psychology, etc.   Studying online I find that it is very difficult, since it is more difficult to concentrate because there are many distractions compared to face-to-face classes, for example the television, the noise that can be in the house, being all locked up trying to do their own thing. It is super complicated to make friends at the university or at least it was more difficult for me compared to what

Post 1: A country you would like to visit

I would like to go to Cuba because I would love to visit my uncles and cousins who are from there. I know that their food is very good, that the people are very loving, they like to dance a lot, in fact I know a lot about Cuba because my dad is from there. I would like to go to their beaches, go out dancing, go to Old Havana, to their museums, etc. In 2018 I thought about going to study there but the style and quality of life is very different compared to Chile. Although I love its culture and it is a beautiful country it is not a place where I would like to work or live, because at the country level it is in a very complicated situation, there is a very big social discontent, it is difficult to find medicine, transportation is difficult to take, it is difficult to find certain types of food, the internet connection is very little and it is also very expensive, etc. So I find that it is a nice country to go as a tourist but not to live there.

Post 3: Mental health Problems related to a lockdown

  With the measures of being isolated in order to manage COVID 19 I have felt my stress and anxiety increase, especially frustrated about not being able to go to college. This has caused me to feel chest pains, shortness of breath, grief, wanting to eat more food than my body needs, and having a lot of trouble falling asleep. What helps me to cope with this confinement is to support myself with the people I live with, talk to my friends, my boyfriend and my partner. It also helps me a lot to have other activities like reading a book, cooking and meditating. I feel that the pandemic has made us reflect on how important it is for human beings to socialize, how important it is to live each day to the fullest because we do not know what may happen tomorrow and it has also forced us to look at ourselves and take charge of ourselves. The plans I have when the pandemic or quarantine is over are to go back to college, to be able to play sports like before, to see the people I love and to
